I basically agree with you. He would have to be both extremely skilled
and extremely lucky to produce a 1 MW Hot Cat plant by the end of
February. Even if he had a working prototype at the time of the
demonstration there is a lot of work to make it reliable, to put 100 of
them in a pressure container with a commercially useful output and to
make the arrangement safe.
The only thing that makes me even consider the possibility is that Rossi
forecast that and said the project was going well recently. He has been
pretty good at keeping demonstration dates so far.Otherwise I would add
on another six months as a more realistic time frame for something this
novel.
