Dear Pietro F:
Yes we have very big financial problems, because I have spent on
this all the money I had, and sold all I had, also because the
Customer we counted on could not maintain his financial engagements
and this has left the ship in the middle of the ocean without oil
for the engine. But we are going through, the 1 MW plant will be
ready for the end of October for the test anyway, we are close.
Yes, we will organize e new very important test in Uppsala, and
this time we will make the calorimetric measurements in a new way,
suggested by the Professors: the steam circuit will be a closed
circuit with a condenser and will exchange heat with a flow of
liquid water: basically, we will have a primary circuit of the E-
Cat and a secondary circuit through a radiator, and the energy will
be calculated not from the delta T of the input/output of the
reactor, but from the delta T of the secondary, which will exchange
the heat by means of a heat exchanger. Of course the calculation of
the energy produced will be in our disadvantage, because the heat
exchange system has not a 100% efficiency, but I can accept it,
because our energy gain is very high. The operation will be made
also with self sustaining mode. We are already making this test in
our factory, and the results of the energy gain are very close to
the measurements we made in past. I am very satisfied.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Thanks for posting this interesting and exciting news!
A heat exchange system can be very accurate. The advantage is it
does not matter what happens to the cooling water beyond the bounds
where the thermometers are located, provided it comes back cool
enough and with enough flow to do the job. To obtain an accurate
power integration takes an accurate flow meter in the cooling water
stream with time stamped data taken frequently. There is a similar
requirement to frequently measure the temperature and flow output of
the E-cat water from the heat exchanger. Some good insulation is
required for accurate data - but reliable data only accurate to 10%
would hopefully be way more than enough to show the value of the
device.
