If I where running the test I would only want one point of power input and that
from the genset - this means that the generator must remain running to power
the condensor fans, pumps and control electrics. If the gen set where stopped
but there was a sizable extension cord run out from the building there would
still be questions. Its a no win situation but I think the most practical and
easiest to monitor solution is the gen set supplying all the power for a stand
alone test.

Subject: [Vo]:500kW generator was also running during the 5 hours!
Is there any reason why there was a 500kW generator running AND hooked up to
the E-Cat through the WHOLE test, despite the E-Cat being switched into
self-sustain mode? I gave it a tiny percent chance of being possible before,
but now there's nothing but a clear scam left of it.
Power for start-up (resistive coils that provided heat to the reaction
chambers) was provided by the large and loud genset (was making all the noise)
you see that is nearly as large as the small shipping container in which the 1
MW E-Cat plant was arranged. Once the reaction chambers got up to temperature,
they were maintained by the heat produced by the reaction. I'm not sure why
they kept the generator running after that, but I would guess it was for
back-up or safety. I'm sure the engineers testing the system made sure what the
power levels were at all times.
Probably the biggest opening for skeptics will be the continually running
genset that is probably rated for 500 kW (my guess), and appears to have been
connected by cables to the E-Cat.

Anyone have an explanation? Thanks. Also, my first post here.
