Gotjosh, I agree that it doesn't make sense - it challenges the assumption that the control loop is keeping the reaction carefully balanced between starving out below threshold or entering runaway while over threshold using the duty factor of the control signal. Fran .:.gotjosh

it makes alot of sense to me, but then why does rossi, repeatedly state in his blog that they can turn off the resistance and keep running, they just don't for safety reasons?? has anyone other than rossi confirmed that the reactor can continue to produce heat when disconnected from both the hydro

Some background... I have heard that Rossi is using a commercial plastic extrusion nozzle. These nozzles all use inductive high-frequency alternating current (AC). I will be looking to verify this from a direct Q&A from Rossi. On Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 4:03 PM, Roarty, Francis X < francis.x.roa..

Axil, both resistive and inductive heaters will produce magnetic fields - A resistive heater can operate on AC or DC but an inductive heater will short out if fed DC. The resistive heater is still equivalent to a conductor which will produce an ac or pulsating dc magnetic field if you choose to
