Part of it might be explained by the confusion between factor of 2 or 3
and factor of 1000. If one was meaning orders of magnitude and the other
wasn't, the flame war might become more resolvable.

No, all of this nonsense is explained by Rothwell picking out an irrelevant
detail in a long thread, and ignoring everything else - in order to cover
his trail in case the Swedish testing does conform to my prediction.
There is no factor of 1000 relevant to anything but the high thermal
I should add one thing relevant to the Swedish testing.
We presume (hope) that the Swedes will not use a hose connected to plumbing
where you get free water pressure, and will use a pump. The pump's power
must be included in P-in.
A liter/sec pump seems to require one horsepower or about .75 kW.

The specific heat of steel is 420J/KG/Deg C - and this equates to a heat
requirement of approximately 375 KWh to melt one ton of steel from room

To answer the first problem - I believe that the specific heat goes up as
the temperature rises, and is a higher the closer you get to m.p.

Only if that heat suddenly comes to a dead stop and you average over the

It would be nice to be able to measure the temperature inside the reactor.

Heat transfer is limited by surface area, but the
surface area for a Rossi cell might be very
high. You cannot judge it by the gross volume.
What if the cell is constructed with many channels?
Not by the volume alone, correct. This
The limiting factor is, of course, how hot it gets inside. I believe the
reaction works best at around 600°C and it conks out above that.

Right. But with pressurized H2 inside the reactor - you cannot easily risk
having lots of coolant tubes going thru, as sealing them would be a
nightmare - and the narrowness of the form-factor - at least the images
seen, do not seem to permit enough space for copper tubing around the
reactor.
