As I understood, the term "Jet Reactor" seems more to mean a "Brayton turbine", probably closed cycle like the old nuclear reactor planes. Brayton turbine are the most dense, but yes it requires high temperature. If you accept the nameplate temperature of 1200-1400C (whether it was measured at lugano is a question, but assuming E-cat is real this temperature must not be incoherent for Rossi, or he would have informed the testers) a brayton turbine is not so absurd. Even the temperature observed at Ferarra (confirmed by TC) would allow Brayton cycle. beside that as said here the biggest problem maybe cooling. there are bleeding edge technology that I've seen few years ago for high density airflow radiators. Heat to power conversion is really the most complex engineering problem. I'm more confident in LENR nanotech improvement once billions are flowing, because billion have flown for turbines since decades.
