In my opinion, it is too early in the development of the Rossi reactor to
scale up to 1 MW. The fact that they have changed the design from 100 to 300
units at this late date tells me the design is still in flux, and it may be
late. More to the point, it is sometimes a mistake to scale up technology
too quickly. That can be too ambitious, resulting in a machine that is
unmanageable and quickly obsolete. Some examples include the IBM "Stretch"
computer, also known as "twang;" the LARC supercomputer, which was described
as "the price that must be paid for pushing the state of the art before it
wants to be pushed;" and many gigantic multi-engine airplanes constructed in
the 1930s, especially in Russia, such as the K-7 Flying Fortress:

Defkalion plans to manufacture 20 kW units, so I think Rossi should
concentrate on 20 kW prototypes. He should scale up to 1 MW in a few years.

That's what I think, but Rossi does not care what I think.
