Jed, you are optimistic beyond reasonable levels. Edison could be crazy, but he was reasonable. For example, Rossi gave to the Swedish investors the latest version of Hot Cat, hotter than the one of the Zurich presentation. Proably, it was the 1200C version whereas the one from Zurich achieved ~900C at most. Besides, he was not careful with the measurements, even with the outpu, since that camera is not rated for temperatures above 950C or so.
