I think that the hole in the center of the device is open to allow cooling fluid to flow through. This appears to be the hottest region of Rossi's reactor. Notice the bright color seen through the hole.

As far as I understand, but I could be wrong, the hot cat reactor is not open at all. These are two concentric tubes with their ends somehow closed with some kind of appropriate 'putty'. So: the part that you are seeing as open is the hole in the donut, but it is the hollowness of the donut itself that is the reaction chamber. Unclear to me is how they filled that with the gas and at what pressure. Then again, Rossi says he uses some metal hydride, not gas per se.

It seems to be an open setup to me. Past explanation by Rossi gave me the impression the E-cat works at quite higher gas pressures. Is it just me than is puzzled about this observation?
