Rossi has done his demo now, the entire demo arrangement would fit into two standard suitcases, gauging, plastic buckets and all included.
Rossi's need for IP secrecy has rendered his COP calculations somewhat time based reduced which is "debateable" but his friends calculate his one hour long demo cope for today at 550 COP and his most critical frienemies still come up with a 330 COP off the exact same input / output numbers. The critics/frenemies don't allow the cut on vs the cut off time distinction, so they come up with reduced numbers for the entire demo. 330 COP is still huge compared to previous e-cat variants, over a dozen times better ..... so just roll on past it, understanding this next statement very clearly.
IF the demo had run for days and days, these COP numbers would have been ridiculously much higher (over a thousand) just realize that and roll on about all the minor measurement disagreements, etc. etc.
He chain starts each of the three reactors in his demo pack (22.3 watts steady real output per reactor) off of wall socket power using a very short burst of 50 watts of warm up power, making up a very brief section/duration of start up power usage which he then replaced with a 9volt maintenance battery during the hour long run portion (a 9 volt Duracell to be exact) which then supplied reactor control power for the rest of the demo period. Cranking up E-Cat reactors is very similar to starting up a mercury vapor bulb or a fluorescent light tube, a momentary electrical buzz is about it, then the light comes on.
Both sets of people factored in the initial start up power surge in their calculations, but they did it differently because of data calculation bias and the "intent differences" between the two groups.
FACT: Rossi ignored the DC output portion (10% of his reactor's natural output is DC voltage at a mild current level) that could be put to work recharging a main storage battery that could then drive the whole system for restarts from that point forward in time for free.
But trying to say he has an infinitely large COP (which would be true once the system was up and running on a recharging basis) would not help the skeptics accept the E-Cat X as real at this early point of things. Letting them see all the power draws unbuffered helps them to understand much much better at this early stage of things ......
DURATION: Rossi's 5 sigma testing over the last year was run at full power and he has verified over a year of full power usage on a single charge of powder.
Rossi states that building in "extra capacity" (ie more powder per reactor and a few extra reactor counts per installation) that are part of every design he does is a good thing, and in some some proposed uses such as winter time cabin heaters in electric cars which would only use about a 10% duty cycle then a standard count reactor core set (with the standard amount of spare cores) would last on the order of 10 years which is the standard design life time of the electric car itself ......
reactors are cheap, a few spare reactors per set up is simply good businessRossi had all his historical Tester Groups from all previous iterations all present at the demo (so he could thank and honor them) along with lots of nameless folk from various Scandinavian Universities and some potential Industrial Style heat and baking ovens mgfs and other large consumers of heat energy were present just to observe the demo set. These previous group people also were free to discuss all previous demos and were frank about what they could have done better about those old demos. Open and honest was the general theme about all the past stuff, which made the current "IP restrictions" that exist on the new stuff go down better with the critics.
Rossi needs to park some one year trial sets out in the real world in some very secure sites that can keep all the busy fingers out of his proprietary initial installations .....
Rossi needs to produce a simple industrial heat generating product or three with completely tuned and finalized control systems and run it for a few years and build up a known track history of performance.ABB is now stated / confirmed as Rossi's automation and electronics controls pardner. Hydrofusion and Sifferkoll and the existing crew of E-Cat distributors in the various countries were all available on internet during the discussion period afterwards.
