I belive you are saying the heating mantle alone is 500g. Also the water
never exceeds 100C so why should the insulation? I assume Rossi construction
does not allow metal potentially hot enough to destroy insulation to contact
insulation. If he saw that happen he would rework the insulation. Also the
temperature of metal would decline as we move from the core. For instance in
K&E, figure 6 graph, for over 10 minutes (600 sec) the 300W heater runs
producing ~2MW of heat at least half of which are not measured as flowing
out in outlet water thus establishing that at least 1MW was stored in the
metal in this way. The hdriding reaction which I postulate as the reason for
the increased slope at 60C will add even more.

Note especially in RossiThermal2.pdf, in Mode 2, that a mass of between 5
and 10 kg, at initial Mass Temp. of 300*C, provides a 15 minute thermal
decline curve with no nuclear energy involved.
Good thinking, expect that the total metal weight of the E-Cat is ca.
5kg. Perhaps quite bit less. And we still need to worry that
insulation material cannot withstand high temperatures and also the
parts of E-Cat that are in direct contact with water cannot exceed
100°C. Therefore total mass that can store thermal energy (i.e.
heating element or the core) cannot weight more than 500 grams.
Therefore I suggest you slight revision of calculations.
