http://www.e-catworld.com/2014/10/09/elforsk-ceo-swedish-energy-institute-to-...Elforsk CEO Oloffson says: Swedish Energy Institute to Build LENR Research Initiative"Here are some of the key points Oloffson makes:
Clear isotope changes in the analyzed fuel indicates instead that in the case of nuclear reactions at low temperatures. It suggests that we may be facing a new way to extract nuclear energy. Probably without ionizing radiation and radioactive waste. The discovery could eventually become very important for the world’s energy supply . . .
If it is possible to safely achieve and control the now indicated nuclear reactions waiting probably eventually a fundamental transformation of our energy system. It can open for decentralized energy supply. Electricity and heat can then be produced with relatively simple components. Climate Efficient energy would be very cheap. . .
Elforsk takes now the initiative to build a comprehensive Swedish research initiative. More knowledge is needed to understand and explain. Let us engage more researchers in searching coat phenomenon and then explain how it works."Sweden has granted a patent to Rossi & crew, so this isn't an attempt to hijack their patent -- but instead it is an honest attempt to get the Swedish Scientific Community and the Swedish Military coordinated to get behind a rapid push to understand the theory behind what Rossi is so obviously doing. AND TO THUS IMPROVE IT ONCE IT IS FULLY UNDERSTOOD .....
Sweden sees this as a realistic pathway to energy independence for their small mountainous oil-less country.Sweden's military has been running one of the very first 1 megawatt E-Cat steam plants in cooperation with America's DARPA organization.
The two militaries see E-Cat as becoming a significant mobile power generating source that might be downsized to the point it is able to be carried in a truck or towed behind a Humvee on a trailer. A diesel oil generator without the tanker trucks of diesel oil, in other words.
==================================
Also we get the first mention of the "inherent steady state" with any sort of explanation.
When an early experimental E-Cat would suddenly go up in output and melt down, it was called a "spike" and mix efforts were spent trying to get the spikes to be below the melting point of the nickel powders and other materials.
Once this was achieved, it was discovered that you could spike but not melt down and YOU COULD THEN UNPLUG THE EXCITER and the reaction would continue endlessly until the wires were hooked back up and the exciter was put into intentional "randomization" which messed up the steady state and shut the E-Cat down.
Issue with melt down (and partial little zone melt downs) still continue when running at "steady state" as the hot spots are localized and quite high up in the temperature range.
Work is being done on an "On-OFF" excitement which would crank it up, let it run at steady state then "counter-excite" if steady state crept up too high to the point of threatening melting something.
At steady state COP values of around 6-7 are seen .... outputs of over 6 times the normal input exciter current. But remember, at steady state the exciter isn't running at all, it is turned off.
These 6-7 COP values are the sorts of values that make energy plants and DARPA guys drool because
at steady state is it 100% constant running free energy and it can and run and run and run for months that way.
Higher values are seen and reported, up to a COP of 10, but only in core styles that have very active in core cooling, like internal water pipes that are flashing water into steam continuously with a computer controlled high speed variable inlet valve. COP of 10 in a simple solid core design generally means the core is melting the powder right now and your failure shutdown is imminent.
Better Control is the entire game now, better control means higher output levels with the same hardware.
