The cigarette box sized reactor core is the one used in the home ECAT that produces 10 kW at around 80C. This is my understanding from what Rossi has stated.
The new high temperature E-Cat reactor core is said to be even smaller, but has more shielding. ________________________________ From: Axil Axil <janap...@gmail.com> To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Sent: Sunday, July 8, 2012 11:29 PM Subject: Re: [Vo]:ILENRS-12 at W&M Jed said: He also got himself into enormous trouble several times.

Axil said: 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.
