Hello, I have been looking at the calculations from Jed Rothwell, Robin van Spaandonk and Jones Been. I think the proposed heat transfer of 130 kW would be possible, but only with a pressurised system (as in a nuclear reactor) to prevent steam production.
I find it difficult to understand that in the Rossi reactor with a flow of 6l/h = about 2 ml/sec and a proposed excess energy of 12 kW no vapour "explosions" are heard. I.m.o with such a low flow rate the water will reach the boilingpoint before it reaches the end of the nickel catalyst. If you have a hotplate and you put a relatively small amount of water on it, according to me the water will evaporate instantly with a lot of noise. On the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-Ru1eAymvE the inlet tube is periodically moving and a clicking sound is being heard, but that is probably due to the pump which introduces the water, but I am not sure. In the past I already expressed my surprise that the black tube coming from the Rossi reactor is not moving during the test. Would a steamflow with an energycontent of 12 kW not cause a reactionforce on the hole system?

Furthermore, that appraisal was done by the authors themselves, in NyTeknik. It isn't anecdotal -- it is what they measured and reported. - Jed
