Ps. I do not know what model of E-Cat we are talking about. Does we
have pictures? Or is it just some mythical test what was seen by nobody.
The 15 minute heat-after-death event was with the large eCat used in the
January and February tests. This produces 12 kW to 16 kW output
(depending on how you measure it) with about 400 W input. As far as I
know, this is the only eCat that Levi et al. tested in December, which
is when the event occurred. The flow rate was typically ~300 ml/min I
believe.
It is not mythical. Levi described it in NyTeknik I think.
This is not a bit surprising. Nearly all cold fusion reactions will
continue without input power. There is no one-for-one ratio or direct
correspondence between input power and output power. The effect is not
some sort of conversion or amplification. Input power with electrolysis
is needed to form the NAE and keep it from dissipating (degassing), but
dissipation happens slowly so when the heat is robust, there is plenty
of time after you turn off electrolysis before the heat starts to fade.
I do not know what the role of the input power is with the Rossi device,
but clearly there is no one-for-one correspondence or fixed ratio. When
you turn off input power, output is not likely to fade. On the contrary,
the cell is likely to heat up and perhaps go out of control and explode
according to Rossi. I expect he is telling the truth about that. It does
not surprise me.
