So soon you forget. His first customer absolutely required the 1 MW power factor. As I posted in the past, a 1 MW thermal reactor is the ideal reactor size for a drone with a 100 HP electric engine operating with a thermal to electric conversion ratio of 15%. Now that the Rossi core operates at 600C, the thermodynamic efficiency is up to 45%. And these playing card pack size 10 KW cores, numbered at about 100 cores, this new drone LENR power supply can be packaged in a volume that is less than that occupied by a current drone engine. This saves the volume now reserved for long duration sized fuel storage tanks. Such a LENR drone can take off from the us and get to the patrol zone anywhere in the world in just a few days saving the hassle of field support and fuel logistics, stay on station for a year and return back to its base in the US for a quick refueling and be back on station in less than a week.
