I guess we must assume it is real if we are to discuss the installation issues! I would also be concerned about the dangers of steam explosions or other safety issues if the current design is employed. We might be premature in our assessment of the products that will follow with additional engineering. I have envisioned an air cooled device with a small internal fan to spread the heat around a room. It is not clear to me that any liquid is required if the power is low and adequate heat conduction available. Should we not assume that future product engineering will be applied to solve the main problems and improve the systems? My first desktop computer would make me ill if I had to use it now. It takes time for products to evolve into their prime.
The recharge issue is my main gripe at this point and I really think that it will be resolved in an acceptable manner. The customers should have the ability to buy a replacement core at Walmart or Home Depot or online when their current one is depleted. A lot of applications would only require the product to generate heat infrequently and the core should last until the hydrogen leaks out. Hopefully this would be a few years.

I guess it might be possible to purchase any safe stand alone product that does not require the customer to modify or add wiring or piping systems. I have not seen where Rossi has suggested that he is pursuing small devices for this type of applications but I would think that a market should exist for them if the cost is reasonable. One big problem is the requirement to have the units serviced every six months. This is not reasonable for stand alone products that are cost effective and I suspect that this is an attempt to control the fuel where an continuing stream of money goes to the supplying company. Reminds me of the old way of doing business which we all would love to see eliminated. Assuming it's real, I don't think we know enough about this device to know whether or not it's safe under any circumstances. And we won't know until it's properly tested. In his blog, Rossi reported a history of dozens of explosions. How and why those happened, he didn't say. He also says it's intrinsically safe but he doesn't say why. And if the reactor heats a room by making steam, steam itself is dangerous for ordinary end users and consumers. Central steam heat and radiators in rooms are not usually assembled and serviced by the end user. It would be understatement to say that there are lots of unanswered questions.
