It contains some interesting bits of information. I recommend reading it.
It confirms the 60-70C ignition temperature, which we suspected from
the temperature plots.
But that's bad news for Kim's Bose-Einstein condensate paper, which
suggests that the ignition temp might be the Curie point -- 348C
Ummmm... Focardi might just be discussing the behavior of the E-Cat,
without disclosing the temperature of the reaction chamber. My
understanding was that it was much higher, maybe around 450 C. But
what was that based on? I'd have to look back, it might just have
been some assumption.
If there is low thermal resistance (for some weird reason, I've used
the term "thermal inertia," someone point out the error) between the
reaction chamber and the cooling chamber, then we have a problem,
possibly, with scale-up to higher operating temperatures, as has been
assumed, and announced by DGE.
