Dear Andrea,
I do not know it this question has been asked before, but I hope you are willing to answer:
You spend a lot of time in the 1MW plant during the test. You were checking the ‘symphony of the bubbles’. Did you mainly do that to optimize and adjust the plant to achieve the best possible COP?
1. In other words, if you hadn’t been there every night, would the plant then have been less efficient, e.g. a lower COP?
2. If your answer is ‘yes’, do you think a more sophisticated control system could replace you and are you working on that?
Thanks for answering our questions.
Kind regards, Gerard

1- yes
2- yes
Warm Regards,

Rossi would not have spent a year inside of a shipping container if he did not have to. His onsite presence is required to get the COP up to high levels. Developing a control system to replace his constant adjustments is not a simple thing to develop, especially if Rossi want to keep his IP secret.
The development of the Quark is diverting Rossi's attention away from the development of a responsive control system. A commercial product cannot be fielded until such a control system is perfected.
