Does anyone know of a physical explanation why the inside would become
so much hotter than the outside? Is this because it can not get rid of
the heat as easily due to less area of steel or the general confinedness
of the heat? Or is this more fundamentally related to focusing of the
emitted (gamma) radiation that Rossi has said is responsible for
creating the heat?
The point I am trying to make is: how likely is it that this new
concentric tube design we see here played a major role in stabilizing
the reaction? Is it possible that the nickel inside reactor is in fact
lower in temperature than the center of the donut? In other words: is he
able to direct the heat away from the reaction itself?
(all pretty stupid questions perhaps from this software engineer.)

I think that the hole in the center of the device is open to allow
cooling fluid to flow through. This appears to be the hottest region
of Rossi's reactor. Notice the bright color seen through the hole.

As far as I understand, but I could be wrong, the hot cat reactor is
not open at all.
These are two concentric tubes with their ends somehow closed with
some kind of appropriate 'putty'.
So: the part that you are seeing as open is the hole in the donut, but
it is the hollowness of the donut itself that is the reaction chamber.
Unclear to me is how they filled that with the gas and at what
pressure. Then again, Rossi says he uses some metal hydride, not gas
per se.

Group,
Recent posted foto that seems to represent a test Rossi test unit
generating 1200 degrees C heat, made me wonder:
Is the new unit operating at 1 Bar gas pressure? It seems to be an
open setup to me.
Past explanation by Rossi gave me the impression the E-cat works at
quite higher gas pressures.
Is it just me than is puzzled about this observation?
