Just to conclude my question, from various sources it seems that the pessimistic version of the consumption of e-cat is the good one, http://faq.ecat.com/112449/how-much-nickel-and-hydrogen-will-it-take-to-generate-one-megawatt-of-heat-continuously-for-six-months/ 10kg Ni+16kgH for 1MW*6month (4,4GW.h)
other numbers were daily consumption. my estimate of world consumption, is that 300kTons of nickel could produces one year of energy for the world, and it represent 25% of world production. it is strange that H is much more consumed than Ni, especially in term of atoms, but H have a tendency to leak. maybe also the reaction is not the one I think about (H+Ni->Cu+E) and the ratio H/Ni are very big. something strange is that my FAQ put on ecat site is not answered, and on journal of nuclear physic CF article my question/comment have been blocked... any correction/comment/critic/advice welcome 2011/11/25 Alain dit le Cycliste <alain.sep...@gmail.com> > FYI i've found this FAQ > > http://faq.ecat.com/113090/i-was-wondering-if-you-may-inform-us-as-to-the-amount-of-hydrogen-that-will-be-required-to-run-an-ecatfor/ > say that for 24h the 10kW e-cat use 0.2g of H... > > it is hard to interpret about Ni... > > the 0.2g might be just the fixed value to fill the Ni for 6 month... in > that case, it can fill 12g of nickel at loading factor 1/1... > but what about the volume used to fill the pipes? maybe is it 0.1g of Ni, > 0.0016g of H loaded, and the 0.198 rest to fill the pipes and chambers. > > it can also be just the leaks for one day, telling nothing about the > quantity stored in the Ni, and thus, the Ni quantity... > and implying that it consume 3.6kg of H for a 1MW on 6month... but what > about Ni? > > it can be a mix... > > so, missing data to estimate Ni quantity, nor H consumption and cause of > the consumption (loading, leaks, reactions)... > > not yet answer to my FAQ > > http://faq.ecat.com/113004/in-faq-how-much-nickel-and-hydrogen-will-it-take-to-generate-one-megawatt-of-heat-continuously-for-six/ > on the site, but he seems to copy FAQ and answer from another source ... > if someone know where to deposit question, so they ane answered clearly. > > if someone find a better analysis... > > > > 2011/11/24 Alain dit le Cycliste <alain.sep...@gmail.com> > >> so two article of the same FAQ are not coherent. >> http://faq.ecat.com/112273/how-much-ni-is-in-the-cell/ >> >> http://faq.ecat.com/112449/how-much-nickel-and-hydrogen-will-it-take-to-generate-one-megawatt-of-heat-continuously-for-six-months/ >> >> is'nt there a known issue with an error of unit that rossi admit. >> I remember some comment about that mistake. >> >> 10g instead of 10kg... ??? >> >> note that the cost estimated of the powder is about 1 euro/MW.6month >> >> >> http://faq.ecat.com/112602/if-selling-price-is-planned-for-500-euros-per-1-kw-of-output-capability-this-is-5000-euros-for-10-kw/ >> >> and that 1kG of raw nickel is 13Eur/kg on the market... >> >> incoherences... >> >> To clear the doubt, I put the question on the FAQ. >> >> http://faq.ecat.com/113004/in-faq-how-much-nickel-and-hydrogen-will-it-take-to-generate-one-megawatt-of-heat-continuously-for-six/ >> >> >> maybe the different base numbers we have explain the disagreement. >> >> >> >
