Axel, So far you are you are the only individual within the Vort Collective who has come close to answering what I thought was a very simple question. You offered up a speculated lower limit temperature value! Thank you for your input! :-) To clarify, this thread was not trying to elicit discussion pertaining to what kinds of theoretical mechanisms might be involved in generating Rossi's e-Cat heat. I was simply trying to get a ball-park thermal range for which the Rossi "chain" reaction is speculated to operate within. I'm puzzled that few on this list seem capable of (or perhaps willing to) answer this question. In my original question I asked: If the Rossi reaction can be sustained below 400 C, by how much below 400 C. Axel, you mention (according to the Sweden tests) the reaction might be sustainable as low as 60 - 100 C. That sounds incredibly low to me! Anybody disagree? Just wondering. Can anyone offer up reasons as to why in order to initiate the Rossi reaction the temperature has to at first be increased (via external means) up to around 400 C. But then, once the reaction has been initiated, sustainable thermal temperature values can then be reduced significantly - possibly down to 60 C - 100 C. The physics behind such a significant reduction in temperature values where the Rossi reaction is alleged to remain sustainable strikes me as being somewhat hard to believe. Thanks again for everyone's input. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
