The answer to your question can be given only by experiment. Rossi claims his system is absolutely different from all the other LENRs so what happens in an Arata Cell is not valid for the E-cat. It is now the time Rossi should predict the duration of the 1 MW demo- and this cannot be a few hours. Not he will decide but the mystery Customer who probably will tell his name at the end of the Demo- if it can be considered a success.( like Lohengrin in the aria "In fernen Land") Why so much secrecy?
