I don't think he his misdirecting us. electric heating is much more simple to control and apply locally than other.
DGT talk of a heating technique, confidential. maybe is it chemicla/physical (like some hydride unloading, as patented and shown here about a device heating car catalytic exhaust device)... anyway if chemical/physical sources can heat stongly they are harder to control. another technic to control heat is plumbing and throtling of fluid. another is structural retroaction, like there is in classic fission reactor, or even stronger in lead-bismuth reactors. someone talk about a simple method to stabilize the temperature, is to have the cooling fluid nearly at the same temperature as the target temperature. when temp increase, the heat flux increase greatly... but note that DGT explained that to control the reactor they use a pulse modulation. Since their reactor is evolving constantly (like a wood fire change as the wood log is burned), it should be adaptative and fine tuned to avoid melting... electric is much more practical than ultra fast and find plumbing to distribute heat. to increase the COP, there are other tracks... maybe controling the losses, using hotter fluid, using another catalyst, increasing the pressure... 2012/3/11 Jojo Jaro <[email protected]> > I think Rossi is misdirecting us with this heat answer.
