I agree Dave, I have been providing this explanation for several
years without any effect. I'm glad you are adding your voice. The
critical point at which the temperature must be reduced depends on
the degree of thermal contact between the source of energy (the Ni
powder) and the sink (The outside world). The better the thermal
contact between these two, the higher the stable temperature and
the greater the COP. Rossi has not achieved a COP even close to
what is possible.
Ok, suppose that it is extremely difficult (I don't want to say
impossible, as nothing is impossible) to enhance the thermal contact
between the source of energy and the sink, wouldn't it be wise then
to put the whole system in a temperature controlled box (let's call
it a refrigerator) with a constant temperature to obtain a stable
environment for the E-cat?
Rob, practical use requires two conditions. The heat source must be
stable and the resulting temperature of the energy must be high. These
two conditions are not directly related. Very good thermal contact
with the sink can be achieved while the sink is at high temperature.
Nevertheless, the sink temperature, although high, must be stable,
which will create another control problem as this source of energy is
applied to practical devices. I can predict that this problem will
limit the use of CF power. I can anticipate some serious and
challenging engineering problems in the future that Rossi is just
starting to deal with.

To bring up another analogy it is my understanding that when you
have a steam engine and you are turning at several handles and
wheels at the same time it is extremely difficult to get the system
stable with an optimum output.
It sounds to me that Andrea is having a similar problem with the E-
cat, he should try to "freeze" the environment of the E-cat as much
as possible and then work on ONE control to gain better COP.
Kind regards,
Rob
