Some preliminary notes about the test. The weight of E-Cat before test: 98kg and after the test 99 kg. I think that this may be explained with inaccuracy of the scale and remaining water residuals. Therefore no chemical combustion inside E-Cat!
Of course metal-oxide production is still possible, if there is hidden oxygen bottle inside E-Cat (very unlikely). Could lithium be volatile enough to enable controlled burning? I think that most of the other metals, such as aluminium or beryllium require such a high temperature that they are not practical for sustained burning. I hope that someone measured the outlet water temperature after steam/hot water went through heat exchanger. This would be important bit of information to exclude the possibility that heat exchanger does not absorb all the out flowing energy. It looks like 3 kW is the lower limit for heat output. But total heating power was somewhere between 3-6 kW. And if we assume 60% efficiency for the heat exchanger, heating power was something like 5-8 kW. For single core I think that this is reasonable performance. With full power it would thus produce 15-24 kW that is reasonable power production. One important detail to notice that steam temperature was around 120°C. This is significantly less than in September test, where temperature was above 130°C. This would imply that September E-Cat was producing around 6-10 kW energy, when self-sustaining. I think that this is surprisingly close to my steam pressure calculations. Also, Rossi's business continues as usual, because he cancelled the contract with "one of the greatest entities in Americas"... The company that was rumored to be behind the contract was here http://www.e-cat.com/ But I think that there is not much substance for this rumor. –Jouni 2011/10/7 Jouni Valkonen <[email protected]>: > TV: New test of the E-cat enhances proof of heat > http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3284823.ece > > > Test of Energy Catalyzer > Bologna October 6, 2011 > http://www.nyteknik.se/incoming/article3284962.ece/BINARY/Test+of+E-cat+October+6+%28pdf%29 > >
