consistent.


Actually no. It is impossible. You can't shield gamma rays completely. You 
could shield them enough to be so few that they would be undetectable. But if 
Rossi says he generates the heat by thermalizing them, then the e-cats don't 
have anywhere near enough mass to accomplish that. 1ev equals 1.6 × 10-19 
joules. The supposedly 30 mm of lead would catch a little less than 99%. The 
devices generate about 10 kW. Rossi is alive. It just doesn't make any sense - 
unless... well... maybe thermalizing gamma is just a second job or doesn't 
happen at all.
