It is common fr people in total distrust to demand useless test.
I remember of test by militaries on pigs (napalm or nuke...?)

moreover 6 month may give indication of total autonomy, reliability...

it is a big version of the tea kettle.

when you are in denial, you increase the demand to make it huge...

if the client is not in denial but in fear not to be ridiculed by others,
they also behave the same

 A 6-month test is ridiculous. It does not prove anything that a 1-month
 test would not prove. A week would probably suffice.

6 Month test, after all.

Dear Andrea,

1. Is the current long-term validation for the purpose of getting safety 
certification for the hot cat?

2. Will the hot cat validation help with safety certification for domestic 
e-cat systems?

3. Is the domestic e-cat still a priority for your team?

Frank Acland:
1- No, the validation and RD long- term- activity have different purposes: for 
us, as manufacturers, the purpose is to make good products, for the third 
indipendent party is to confirm the validation made for a week, verifying in a 
long term which are the consequences. Obviously, the Ragone number, after a 6 
months period, will give more clear indications.
2- Unfortunately, no. This is an issue totally indipendent from what we can do 
and is very difficult any forecast
3- Priorities are the products we can do and sell.
Thanks to you,
Warm Regards,
A.R.

The new customer is still a mystery (invited visits and all that). 

This is actually two tests 

a) Presumably Levi et al 
b) An internal test. 1MW? Hotcat? Something new?

So what are the in process evaluations currently?

There was talk of something like an Underwriters Laboratories certification
going on.
There was talk of the original 1MW plant undergoing evaluation.
Are there others?

What is the hold-up on manufacturing?

Yep I see, but there is a slight difference between those two:
The one that works has an x in between while the original has %C3%97 
at the same spot, which doesn't work.


I think that the URL got truncated when I copied the Rossi post into 
email.


Most likely a conversion error.
As you may see the the original link has a very small space followed by 
an x which is a bit lifted from the baseline!

I went back to the article : 
http://phys.org/news/2013-05-rossi-e-cat-energy-density-higher.html 

Originally, they just cropped the photo, removing my credits, with a short 
caption. I left a nasty comment. 

I just checked back and they've filled in the caption: 

Ragone plot of the energy density and power density of various sources. The 
plot has been expanded to show conservative estimates of the E-Cat from the 
March tests, as well as known values of Pu-238. Credit: Prepared for Forbes by 
Alan Fletcher based on the original figure by Ahmed F. Ghoniem. Needs, 
resources and climate change: clean and efficient conversion technologies, 
Progress in Energy and Combustion Science 37 (2011), 15-51, fig. 38 

So I guess honor is satisfied !!! 

(Although I prefer leaving the credits on the image, because they tend to get 
copied and separated.)
