OK, since Rossi confirms this site, http://ecat.com/, is official, can we accept their description as accurate? . [snip] The fuel, Nickel of very fine granularity + Hydrogen + catalyst, is placed in a thin layer at the center of the reactor core.[/snip]. This description is at odds with suggestions that the Ni as a surface layer on the inside wall of the reactor core like the MAHG reactor tube. This central configuration would suggest thermal currents from the Ni through the plasma to the walls of the reactor core. Does a partially ionized hydrogen plasma have the thermal heat sinking capacity to carry as much heat as Rossi is claiming? Would we be creating currents of H1heat away and H2 returning to the Ni?

Daniel, It appears to contain new information that- if correct- will make for interesting discussion. [snip] The fuel, Nickel of very fine granularity + Hydrogen + catalyst, is placed in a thin layer at the center of the reactor core.[/snip] How can the heat be generated in the center of the reactor and still heat sink effectively to the walls? I know plasma is a better electrical conductor than metal but can it provide this sort of thermal conduction? Or is the reaction primarily occurring in the plasma while the powder layer and catalyst supply fractional Rydberg hydrogen into an homogenized plasma atmosphere filling the entire volume inside the reactor core? Fran [Vo]:Official ECAT site, finally? Daniel Rocha Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:33:27 -0800 This is the old ecat.com domain, that one with the videos about the October's experiments. Now, it was refurbished and it looks like really an official website.
