COP=6 is quite conservative, and based on problem of instability of the "self-sustain" mode of e-cat, feared by Rossi in November... Defkalion says that COP is not a good way to analyze performance. there is a cost to start the reactor, to regulate a little, but COP can be great if power is stable

COP 6 was for the original Fat Cat E-Cats as used in the 1 MW demo unit. I suggest the 10 and 20 kW home units, to be delivered in Sept 2012, will not be anything like the Fat Cats and they will run in self sustain mode or very close to it. I estimated the control electronics and the primary ci

Where did you get a COP of 50 from? I thought it was 6. Rossi said in his interview that the running cost would be about 1/6th of a current conventional boiler running cost. On 04/01/12 07:52, Aussie Guy E-Cat wrote: Based on the recently announced 20

Based on the recently announced 20 kW thermal home E-Cat costing $1,500 and assuming it draws 0.4 kW (400 Watts) from the mains (COP 50), here is the LCOE and the individual item cost breakdowns. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/kLBSLYjhfkssP57d3w1J6dMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
