It is OK, I understood what you meant. The main thing Rossi needs to figure is how to keep the cores at the operating temperature. I have suggested to him that he should insulate the cores from the heat sink to an engineered degree and I think he has done that. The core heaters need to be in close contact to the cores also insulated properly from the heat sink to allow the best control of heat and temperature.

If each "wafer" has its own core heater, the input current would have to triple to support three cells. > Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:40:24 -0600 > Subject: Re: [Vo]: ECAT With 3 Cores Would Have Been Convincing > From: robert.leguil...@hotmail.com > To: vortex-l@eskimo.com > > /snip/ > "Actually, there is no reason to believe that it will require additional > input energy to activate the 2 extra cores.
