​New E-Cat QX Picture and New Rossi-Gullstrom Paper (Very high COP reported with Calorimetry)​

Quote from maryyugo

Oh for cripes sake, the so-called megawatt plant was until very recently nothing but a grotesque collection of cobbled together pieces of crap that Rossi called ordinary ecats -- 50 or even 100 of them at one time. The supposedly latest reincarnation with six modules, far as I know, has never been seen pretending to run by anyone yet. Rossi has talked about being ready for market since 2011 when he supposedly had 12 + sales of the "plants". And according to Rossi, he was holding back the consumer version only because it needed "certification" by mystery certificators who were ever so busy doing the work... in 2012. I guess certificators must do a very slow process. How anyone can still believe the low level garbage that is Rossi's scam is absolutely mystifying. One must really have to work at that hard to rationalize for Rossi's obvious errors and plentiful, constant lies.

Certificators! That's a good one Mary.

Quote from Dewey Weaver

How does the song go - its better to rust out than to fade away.

Dewey Weaver : There are two choices: The Boston technic/computer museum or the museum of modern art. People like the funny machines that Tingueli (a Swiss) built.

Certificators! That's a good one Mary.

In reference to all things Andrea Rossi,

I'm partial to "Crackpottery" by Lubos Motl

There may be errors here and a few bits I can't discern, but it does seem to calculate out. I think Rossi made a typo and used 2988 rather than the correct 2898 in the black body calculation, but not a big problem. I'm no mathmatician, but I'm a little confused why the Boltzmann constant used is 5.67e-12 rather than 5.67e-8.

Quote from maryyugo

Yes, it only takes 50,000 of them. And yes, Jed, I understand that may work with fuel elements in a fission reactor core or with lithium ion cells in an electric car. But perhaps not quite so easily with a pencil thin device running at 2600 degrees C.

During the demo Rossi will show some reactors connected in parallel, not a 1MW QuarkX plant. I guess that technical problems related to big numbers will be dealt with in due course, but it is not possible to create such assembly without using robots, and once you use them, the number of pieces that they have to assemble become irrelevant.

Malcolm... its because A is in cm2 instead of m2

Ahh, thanks Zeus, I had assumed correction for something but didn't spot it ))

Ganging together 50,000 2000-degree gizmos is a piece of cake! Cheap power for the masses! Looking forward to seeing one soon.

You'll be waiting a long time.

You should wait for the QuarkX impatiently because it will be a revolutionary object. Instead, when presented, I'm sure you will dedicate all your attention to looking for possible defects or shortcomings. It seems that your interest (and that of so many others here) is just to discredit Rossi ..... who knows if in the end you will all try to get on the wagon of the winner ....

@MY: Rossiphiles are never disappointed by what happens. As long as they have a new imaginary carrot dangled in front of them, they gleefully move on. It is a specialized version of ignorance is bliss.

That strikes me as the Bugs Bunny Philosophy of Life.

Quote from Thetruemonty

Don't you also wait for that new carrot impatiently? What would you do once the carrots are gone? How would your life be? It seems to me people long for carrots no matter if they hate or love em.

To stretch this already rather weird analogy:

After 10 years of being given apparent carrots, every one of which turns out, on close inspection, to be horse-shit disguised as carrots, most people no longer salivate at the next Rossi-carrot.
