FYI from a previous post. Please consider Rossi a expert first person experimental witness as follows:
Andrea Rossi December 28th, 2013 at 6:47 PM http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/?p=833&cpage=4#comment-891266 Jed Rothwell: The team of Prof. has been increased. I cannot give more information about this issue. Warm Regards, A.R. And on self-destruct --- 1MW in 10 seconds !!!!! James Bowery December 28th, 2013 at 7:54 PM Dr. Rossi, When you say that reactors “explode” when out of control, do you mean they actually produce a loud noise? Or do they merely destructively over-heat? (As apparently happened to a HotCat in this photograph during the prior validation test:) http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XuKgtxpqL9U/UYQSyPJP-OI/AAAAAAAAJYI/96mRUBJjs1w/s1600/ hot-cat.JPG Andrea Rossi December 28th, 2013 at 8:32 PM http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/?p=833&cpage=4#comment-891334 James Bowery: Very sorry, I cannot answer to this question exhaustively, but I can say something. Obviously, the experiments are made with total respect of the safety of my team and myself. During the destructive tests we arrived to reach temperatures in the range of 2,000 Celsius degrees, when the “mouse” excited too much the E-Cat, and it is gone out of control, in the sense that we have not been able to stop the raise of the temperature ( we arrived on purpose to that level, because we wanted to study this kind of situation). A nuclear Physicist, analysing the registration of the data, has calculated that the increase of temperature ( from 1 000 Celsius to 2,000 Celsius in about 10 seconds), considering the surface that has increased of such temperature, has implied a power of 1 MW, while the Mouse had a mean power of 1.3 kW. Look at the photo you have given the link of, and imagine that the cylinder was cherry red, then in 10 seconds all the cylinder became white-blue, starting from the white dot you see in the photo ( after 1 second) becoming totally white-blue in the following 9 seconds, and then an explosion and the ceramic inside ( which is a ceramic that melts at 2,000 Celsius) turned into a red, brilliant stone, like a ruby. When we opened the reactor, part of the AISI 310 ss steel was not molten, but sublimated and recondensed in form of microscopic drops of steel. Warm Regards, A.R.
