My dear Friends
It is my weekly pleasure to send you my INFORMAVORE’s SUNDAY- this time no 470 http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com/2011/08/informavores-sunday-no-470.html with a rather sad mini-editorial in it, plus a few words in addition to http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com/2011/08/anticipating-1mw-demo.html This will be an interesting event or a very interesting non-event. So many E-cats working together is Flea Circus Management problem. The Complex has to be very well automated otherwise it will be like a negative orgy of multitasking. A good demo is like a good preach, I remember reading what a famous pastor told: “First, I tell them what I will say them in the preach. Then I say it. When finished, I explain them what I have told. Then, I sit down.” It is about openness, thre times openness- the demo has to be described before starting it, including the expected results. Then it has to be done, fast smooth start, to continue to function a decent period of time, 5 to 8 hours seems to be a minimum, with clear continuous display of the main parameters: energy in, energy out the first much smaller than the second- no disturbing variations and a smooth, perfectly controlled shut-down. If I remember my work in great plants (in 3 shifts) with so many things to take care, with attention not only distributed but broken n small parts I am developing a kind of empathy for Rossi's problems.. If he succeeds to get technological control and functional discipline four such a great group of Ecats, he will demonstrate us that he is not only a genius but also a witch as great as Albus Dumbledore.
