Rossi interview (Stirling Allen and Frank Acland) Main news : A
Early in the interview, Rossi explained that the 1 MW plant that I saw demonstrated on October 28, 2011 was not delivered to the confidential military customer. There were many glitches that needed to be worked through first: "hydraulics, distribution, common rail distribution, choice of coolant; didn't have well-balanced distribution of 100+ of reactors." In contrast, he said: "The plant as of now is very mature." A separate unit was built for the military customer then shipped, and Rossi said that it has now logged "many thousands of hours" of run time. He said the data from this plant easily corroborates the guaranteed coefficient of performance of 6 (six times more energy out than what is put in to make it run). Main news B : (US customer) We had thought that this customer was going to be publicly announced, and that the unveiling of this unit would be public. However, at this time, it turns out that the customer wishes to remain confidential. "This is not a theatre."
