We need to remember the old Rossi 50% Peanut Gallery Exaggeration Rule of Thumb and use it here.
So your lunchbox is going to be a fat brief case size and is only going to be a silent 5 hp generator when first built, but it will get smaller and stronger over the next few years, doubling in output to 10 hp while getting slightly smaller.
===================================================
https://e-catworld.com/2020/10/10/rossis-business-strategy-for-e-cat-is-decided/It seems that a consistent question from testers that now becomes priority one is
"How long does it last at rated output?"This real answer to this question
depends on a lot of long term testing of each variant as they are developed.
Rossi has hinted that some of his past designs will last a LONG TIME, some won't. As we sit now, nobody knows the full answer for real, so you may get Rossi deciding that 6 months to a year is an acceptable replacement frequency
just to tell people something conservative that he knows will work --- with him thinking it might actually be a good bit longer than that once development testing is completed.
Testing to complete wearout (destruction) is needed for some country's safety certifications (can't have it suddenly emitting a bunch of gold kryptonite radiation at the very end of things unexpectedly, you know ...... ) This will answer an important question about what is actually going on in Rossi's device, he is now saying it is Zero Point Energy and they should last until the reactor structure itself gives up ...... (unknown but much longer time).
Somebody in a nation with relatively realistic certification requirements will call the shot on this one.
===================================================
Folks have been poking at Rossi about long term "testing to end of life" (total destruction).
Rossi and others are aware of tests that are over 2 years old as the oldest ongoing "constant full output" tests of a now not really very current type of "heat only SK reactor".
Rossi simply states that many of the items that caused early SK reactor designs to age out simply aren't present in the current 95% yield SKL reactors.The electronic functions that drive the new all plasma reactors are
completely different now. New total life runs are needed.
It is fair to say that Rossi has not got a clue as to how long the current type of 95% SKL electrical supply reactor will really last, but he would not be surprised at a 5 year life or longer. Or a 6 month life. Or something else entirely ....... the operating principles of the thing have changed very significantly in the past year alone.
People continue to seek overall life span time info from Rossi. Rossi responds by saying he has never achieved a total life run, that it is all "to be determined" as in all cases the reactors came back to him according to lease terms before even getting weak.

Dear Andrea,
In Jan. 12 2020 the following was asked:
“Nils Fryklund
January 12, 2020 at 5:59 AM
Dear Andrea!
Some questions about E-catSK, 22kW, which was been installed at a customer 19 november 2018:
1. Is it still giving 22kW at the customer?
2. Is the customer satisfied or has there been much problems?
3. How much fuel powder weight do you guess it has consumed?
Best regards
Nils Fryklund“

And this was your answer:
“Andrea Rossi

Nils Fryklund:
1- yes
2- satisfied
3- still the original charge
Warm Regards,
A.R.”
May I ask it the same questions again, what is your reply now, 3//4 of a year later? 1,2,3 same answers
4. I assume that the principles of the SK do not dramatically differ from the Ecat SKL. Can similar operation times be expected of the SKL? yes
5. Obviously the operational time does not only depend on the ‘fuel’ or charge but maybe also on wear and tear of components. But only looking to the ‘fuel’: Have you ever ran a SKL so long that the ‘fuel’ was exhausted? no
6. When that happens, is then the fuel a. exhausted or b. saturated or c. something else t.b.d.
Thank you for replying on our questions!
Kind regards, GerardWe also know that the 1 year Doral test required Rossi to understand the aging changes that his reactors required as far as their excitement protocols as his reactors got some time on them.
Rossi made the Doral tunings by hand, now he has a Heuristic AI program built into his controllers to do the same thing core by core, automatically.
I think Rossi units can run a LONG TIME off the same charge of powder since Rossi now knows the powder itself is not consumed.
Reuse of some of the old reactor powder as a "seeder additive" to a new charge in a new reactor has been hinted at in the past.
Doing this apparently allows for quicker and more reliable new reactor start ups.

Rossi: The End is in Sight for Third Wave of Customer Testing in Rossi's LabPosted on October 26, 2020 • 2 Comments
Thanks to Gerard McEk for submitting the following question to the the Journal of Nuclear Physics.
Gerard McEk
October 25, 2020 at 3:51 PM
Dear Andrea,
Can you tell us how testing is progressing:
1. Is the end in sight?
2. Based on the tests until now: Do you believe that the general outcome of these tests is positive?
3. Is covid 19 hindering progress at this moment?
4. Have you already planned to build a combined prototype in a product with a Partner?
Please, stay healthy, kind regards, Gerard.
Andrea Rossi’s responses:
Andrea Rossi

Gerard McEk:
1- yes
2- yes
3- surely it does not help
4- yes
Warm Regards,
A.R.
From what Rossi has stated, there seem to have been various kinds of testing with the E-Cat SKL going on lately, and he has continued to maintain that things have been going well. I don’t know quite what to make of his affirmative response to the question ‘is the end in sight’?
Perhaps he is referring to the certification testing, which I think most people following the E-Cat story are awaiting with much anticipation. I think a third party verifying Rossi’s claims about the performance of the SKL is what is required for people to start taking the technology much more seriously.
