With a Copper resistivity/m of 0.0175 this requires a wire with a
thickness of 10.0 mm^2
or a diameter of 3.57 mm (= approx. AWG 7 ! ), which results in a wire
of 0.00175 ?.
Such wire is VDE approved for a maximum of 66.00 A and with single
phase 230V AC this results in a maximum power of 15300 W!
As far as I can see from the photos of the Rossi reactor, the wires to
the heating resistors are a lot thinner than the 3.57 mm diameter.
What if they have coils inserted in the table wood board?
I have seen in Levi's curriculum vita, he is a consulting expert for
industrial inductive heating at Bologna university.
Also I do not understand, why do they need to heat the water, using a
resistive heater?
With inductive heating they could heat the core much more efficiently
and much more responsive without heating the water.
