The issue I have with with Rossi's device is the high electricity demand required to start off the E-Cat and the length of time required to get it going and then the periodic electric demand to keep it going. In comparison DGT's system seems draw much lower power to start up and starts much faster. Do you think that's because DGT have a better / more efficient heater or their reactor fuel has some catalyst that kick starts the reaction faster. What sort of temperatures are required to start the reaction?

Wolf,

 

This comes under the category of ‘puffery’ and it probably relates to net gain, if there is any truth to it.

 

Obviously if one can achieve lots of heat without input – COP is infinite. However, when you factor in the quiescent period and the startup delay then the average over an extended period could be COP-6.

 

In the case of DGT, they could be saying that COP=20 is the best gain ever seen, and they may want to downplay the fact that the average over time, is far less.

 

We await real data, in either case.
