A belated welcome to Bob Higgins and all the other newcomers brought
here by the Rossi extravaganza.

Hi Bob,
Having some basic dimensioning (height, width, length, etc.) would
have been
helpful for many of the analyses done to date, however, at this
late stage
it probably isn't much needed. I am still trying to get Horace to
read my
articles about the dimensions of the spreader, since Lewan's 30x30
must be
an error, ...

Mark,
I am working on getting better or confirming estimates. I am also
working on multiple other things at the moment so please be patient.
The 30 x 30 x 30 cm numbers are indeed just rough estimates provided
to Mats Lewan, not measurements. I have not found anything yet that
permits accurate scale determination for the photos I have, in any
photos or video video frames. I'll post an analysis of multiple
photos soon. Here I provide evidence the T2 probe comes down right
on the side of the fins. The probe may actually rest on the
horizontal extension where the reactor housing is bolted to the
bottom of the E-cat housing.
Here is a Mats Lewan photo with some pixel length measurements
superimposed:

It is not clear which way the top bolts onto the box. It turns out
it does not matter. The T is located a relative distance of 59 px /
296 px = 0.1993 from the edge of the top (see yellow lines with
black numbers.) Lengthwise (see blue lines) the relative distance of
the fin edges is 49 px/ 246 px = 0.1992. In the width direction (see
brown lines) the relative distance is 81 px / 405 px = 0.020.
It appears from various analyses the fin tops are located between 3
and 4 cm below the bottom of the top cover. The probe itself is very
long (see below).
It does not appear there are any fins on the bottom of the reactor
housing.
For convenience, my earlier comments regarding the T2 probe follow:
POSSIBLE SYTEMATIC THERMOMETRY ERRORS
Regarding the T2 probe, examine the two photos to the right of this
article:
http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3284823.ece
The top one shows the E-cat with the T2 thermocouple probe inserted
down through the T fitting located on top. The second photo shows
the E-cat without insulation and the cover removed. The T fitting
can clearly be seen. The top of the cooling fins almost reach the
bottom of the lid when it is on. The long probe may be resting on
the cooling fins when it is in the fitting.
A careful analysis of the photo shows the center of the T fitting
located right at the edge of the fin location. The probe should thus
touch the fins or even the base of the reactor structure where it is
bolted to the bottom of the E-cat.
The length of the probe can be seen in Steve Krivit’s New Energy
