All the generators have to be balanced- heating capacity = cooling capacity; you cannot cool the second E-cat in a row with steam- very bad heat transmission.

This is a smaller version of the ECat: 4 kW vs 12 kW. It appears to have a single heater. Rossi says he will make 300 of these for his MW generator. It is simpler and safer according to the inventor. Allegedly, in 2.5 months, a version of the ECat consumed (transmuted, whatever) 100g of Ni and

The copper isotope ratios reported here contradict those from Rossi's blog published data. In his blog post titled Experimental Results he states the Cu63/Cu65 ratio is 1.6 after transmutation. The isotope results reported by the swedish observers seems very suspicious to me.
