I do not doubt that Rossi's device works, but I have a lot of doubts over his power output because his demos are so useless. He is claiming 100kW/kg output levels, while Miley appears to be closer to 10kW/kg levels (IIRC 30g 200W). But given the 8:1 steam to water ratio enthalpy ratio it is quite conceivable that Rossi is much lower than he states and so closer to what Miley (and other researchers?) are getting. It would be nice to have reliable results to resolve this. But I suspect we are still some time off from having accurate assessments publically released.
Power output will have a significant impact on economics of different applications - for example 100kW/kg means Concorde like aircraft that use 6 times the power of conventional commercial jets and can get you anywhere on the planet cheaply in 8 hours at 30% of current costs, Miley like results mean re-engined conventional jet aircraft that still take 24 hours and cost 70% of current prices.
