What makes you think that a plasma is formed in Ross's device? It operates at high pressure (25
Bars) so I doubt that plasma is involved at all.
I would like to hear some speculation on his reason for using many small reactors instead of larger
devices. Is it due to safety concerns or is it the reaction physics or maybe the fuel needs to be
prepared under high vacuum or some other size restricting manufacturing method.
I don't see his current prototypes as having commercial value as the refueling process (every 6
months?) will be very labor intensive for 100+ reactors each buried inside a lead shielded
insulated box.

This description
is at odds with suggestions that the Ni as a surface layer on the inside wall
of the reactor core
like the MAHG reactor tube. This central configuration would suggest thermal
currents from the Ni
through the plasma to the walls of the reactor core. Do
es a partially ionized hydrogen plasma have the thermal heat sinking capacity
to carry as much
heat as Rossi is claiming? Would we be creating currents of H1heat away and H2
returning to the
Ni?

Daniel,
It appears to contain new information that- if correct- will
make for interesting
discussion. [snip] The fuel, Nickel of very fine granularity + Hydrogen +
catalyst, is placed in
a thin layer at the center of the reactor core.[/snip] How can the heat be
generated in the
center of the reactor and still heat sink effectively to the walls? I know
plasma is a better
electrical conductor than metal but can it provide this sort of thermal
conduction? Or is the
reaction primarily occurring in the plasma while the powder layer and catalyst
supply fractional
Rydberg hydrogen into an homogenized plasma atmosphere filling the entire
volume inside the
reactor core?

This is the old ecat.com domain, that one with the videos about the
October's experiments. Now, it was refurbished and it looks like really an
official website.
