I don't get this. What is the point of this simulation? It cannot explain the salient facts about the reactor: * There is no slab of cement in the reactor. People have looked inside and seen no such thing. Plus the reactor would weigh far more than it does if there was concrete in it. It would take a gigantic slab to vaporize 60 L of water, much larger than the reactor. * There is no power going into resistors for 4 hours during the self-sustaining run. * The entire reactor starts at room temperature. There is no way you could hide a very hot object inside it. No insulation is good enough to keep the surface from being quite warm. When people pick up the reactor to prevent weight scale they would feel it is hot. * All of the heat added to the reactor initially is measured and it is far less than the heat that came out. So this is not prospective E-cat design. It is not a way to simulate the performance of the E-cat. I do not understand what you are getting at here. - Jed
