It is great news that Rossi has found positive results according to the third party testers. I have been following his work for a couple of years and put together a model that I have discussed on this list on many occasions.
I was very pleased at the appearance of the time domain temperature plots that were shown plotted along with the drive waveform. These plots strongly resembled the ones that my model produced and I have long contended that his limitation of 6 for COP is based upon stable operation of the system. This limit occurs as a result of the observation that a device such as his has the ability to internally generate all of the heat required to run away unless it can be carefully manipulated. The SSM period and level are key to getting the desired performance. Rossi will find that the extraction of heat energy from his device will further complicate the issue when a real world system is utilized. The thermal run away process that he modifies must be compensated to account for the energy loss that the coolant extracts, but I suspect that this will be possible with careful design. Dave
