Key statement by DGT in the Ny Teknik article is the following: "It's very simple but they didn't think about it. (...) We solved the problem. Because the problem is that he cannot spread the reaction all over the pipe, and all the heating is concentrated in the middle", Xanthoulis told Ny Teknik.
Three points come out of that statement: 1) The cylindrical cores had a problem with dissipation of the heat, and were thus unstable. 2) That is why Rossi's latest cores are rectangular and flat, only 1cm thick. 3) That is why DGT has accused Rossi of using DGT IP in the latest E-Cats. The unstable cores had a good chance of a run-away condition, with subsequent melting of the Ni powder and self-extinguishing. I know there was some discussion and questions raised by the Collective about this issue: how to get the heat to the reactor walls and out to the water, so at least #1 makes a lot of sense. Also, such a simple solution doesn't speak well of the 'problem-solving' skills of Rossi or his crew! If it's all a hoax, gotta ask yourself, why would Rossi go to all the trouble of completely changing the reactor? If the thing is NOT producing any excess power, and if the Ni powder is NOT melting, WHY go to all this trouble to change reactor design? Oh well, 1+1 still doesn't = 2. -Mark
