Hello Steven, I have seen evidence of a check valve at the output of the ECAT tested in October. This would be expected if many units are to make a contribution to the final steam output port. Indications are that it opens cleanly when the pressure within the ECAT is around 2 bars. I am not aware of changes between the ECAT tested and the ones within the 1 Megawatt system. It sounds like steam is the final product.

Thanks for all the interesting input pertaining to whether Rossi may ave already tested his one MW prototype. There are a lot of revailing opinions on that matter. I have appreciated reading them ll. I hope others have found the thread equally educational. ;-) On a related topic I have also been under the impression that Rossi as NOT planning on producing steam as the final output product - only ot water below the temperature of 100 C. I have been under the mpression that the 1 MW prototype was to show prospective ntrepreneurs that this prototype (at least in its current onfiguration) could be utilized for the task of heating a large uilding, say a factory floor. If Rossi's current goal was NEVER to enerate steam (as the final product) then perhaps concerns about team pressure getting out of hand might... just might be a moot oint. However, I may be terribly mistaken on this point, particularly if it S presumed that lots of confined steam held under dangerous pressures ill have to be an inevitable part of the prototype's internal perational parameters - even if the water that eventually exits, et's say to heat the radiators belonging to a factory floor remain ell under 100 C. What's the prevailing assessment on this steam issue? Regards teven Vincent Johnson ww.OrionWorks.com ww.zazzle.com/orionworks
