Alan, It will be interesting to see if your model agrees with mine. I have had one working now for close to a year that demonstrates a COP of 6 when the device is at the threshold of instability. A COP of 3 is much easier to control although both must operate within a region which is normally unstable without input power modulation.
I drive my model with a pulse width modulated source just as Rossi's actual device. I find that his statements about the operation of his ECAT make sense according to the behavior of my model. I am using a spice model.

I'm working on the Spice zero'th-order model. I've got a nonlinear resistor model twitching (with a table lookup) --- I just have to plug in the right equation. (And calibrate it).
