You are correct in your observation Mary. The device has grown in size remarkably and some of its characteristics are likely improved. The cute little unit that first showed up could not retain much hot water to deliver on demand. Rossi has made a point of the fact that the device takes a significant amount of time to turn on or off. The newer models seem to take advantage of that time factor to store energy instead of having to vent it at turn off. Please understand that I am just guessing about the reasons hidden within Rossi's mind.
Maybe you should suggest to him reasons to make the device tiny as I know there would be many applications that this would enhance. I have hope that the heavy lead shield is not always going to be the anchor that holds us down, but until we get the scientific testing that you so much desire, we must realize that he holds most of the cards.

Over the past 9 months, the E-cat's power per unit volume nd per unit mass has shrunk markedly from the small 50 cc reaction hambers described for the early copper clad models to the 80 kg Ottoman" E-cat which made essentially no more power than the small ne. That trend has been uniform except maybe for the October 28 est, in which, of course, data collection and details were not itnessed by anyone credible.
