The only guarantees will be for 4,800 hours run-time - which is a little
over six months of continuous use, and a COP of at least six to one (over
electrical input). The cost to refuel is unknown but the reactor is sealed,
so it will likely be a swap-out arrangement (at the consumers expense).
Cost to refuel is crucial. $5000 for 4800 hours run time is $1.04 per hour, or $0.41 per kWh, compared to $0.15 from my local power company. Is Defkalion losing money on every E-Cat but making up for it with volume?
Rossi said (extracted from multiple posts):
1- we consume about 1 gram og hydrogen in 24 hours
A- We consume 1 gram of hydrogen per E-Cat. All the rest is confidential.
2- a recharge every 6 months is necessary, is less frequent than usual technologies and very cheap.
X- We can reach the factor 20, but we guarantee the factor 6.
3- No, we have to change the modules, eventually refueling them at home (so far).
Of course the E-Cat can be turned off at any moment.
The 6 months duration is based on 24 hours/day operation.
3) do you know, approximately, how much will cost the recharge of the module after the 6 month of working ?
3- 100 $ <============== $0.02/hr = $0.0087 / kWH (at 2.4kW)
