PES network confirms the use of a hydrogen tablet:
First, the E-Cat tested was constructed using two steel tubes or
cylinders of equal length. The tube with a smaller diameter was placed
inside of the tube with a larger diameter. In the gap between the two
cylinders (the outer surface of the inner cylinder and the inner surface
of the outer cylinder) a resistive heating element was placed, along
with the "charge" consisting of nickel powder, catalysts, and a tablet
that would release hydrogen when heated. The ends of the cylinder were
then covered with a putty that could withstand high temperatures. As can
be seen in the picture posted by Cures, the central "hole" was not covered.
The article (

is very informative in general and contains other info I had not seen
elsewhere.

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.

Group,
Recent posted foto that seems to represent a test Rossi test unit
generating 1200 degrees C heat, made me wonder:
Is the new unit operating at 1 Bar gas pressure? 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?
