Reminds me of the atomic battery concept. I gave that consideration when he originally stated that the energy was released in the form of low energy gammas that were converted into heat inside his shield. It did not take long to come to the conclusion that this must not be true unless the gammas were really low energy. Horace made it very clear that anything over 100 keV would escape the original lead lined beast and be dangerous.
Do you suspect that Rossi is back with the gamma radiation concept and is converting them to electricity? Or, is this another diversion?

EMF Directly from the Reactor Core!! (??) Very interesting. This revelation, the production of a feedback current as it also appears in the Papp reaction, tells me that the underlying and fundamental mechanism which drives the Rossi reaction is electrostatic charge separation(aka ionization). Way back at the beginning of his development effort, Rossi said that his reaction would produce a detectable electric potential. At that early juncture, he discarded this curious characteristic of his reaction as not significant because he viewed it as too feeble to be productive. I guess that the changes that he has recently made to his design have sufficiently enhanced this thermionic effect in preference to heat generation to a level that may now overshadow the production of heat as the primary energy product of his device.

I think we will be able to produce directly e.m.f. , but much work has to be done. Actually, we already produced direct e.m.f. with the reactors at high temperature, and we measured it with the very precise measurement instrumentation introduced by the third party expert, but we are not ready for an industrial production, while we are at a high level of industrialization for the production of heat and, at this point , also of high temperature steam, which is the gate to the Carnot Cycle. Thank you for your good comment. Warm Regards, A.R. [ I've interleaved the questions and answers ] January 1st, 2013 at 6:50 PM <http://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/?p=771&cpage=5#comment-520563> I received your words with great enthusiasm regarding the findings of measuring direct EMF from your LENR devices. 1. Were you referring to converting heat to electricity, or were you able to detect EMF coming directly from the reactor core? 1- directly from the reactor core 2 Is the amount of EMF seen moderated or controlled by the temperatures made by the Hot Cat? 2- still under probe 3 Will you next try to increase the effect to be able to produce power/energy directly without the need to convert heat to energy? 3- yes 4 Will it ever be possible to have a “Cold Cat” make energy without heat? 4- possibly 5 Or with less heat? 5- I hope too Also, on the "familiar" 1MW : Andrea Rossi December 31st, 2012 at 7:02 AM Dear Scott L.: As I said and wrote many times, the Container of the 1 MW plant is the same tested one year ago, since to the military Customer we delivered different ones. This one, seen also in the Swedish Television, has been used to make tests, modifications, improvements, certification. It has been a tremendous tool for R&D. Now it is destined to a Customer. It will be delivered on March, after further series of modifications we have in course now. Thanks to it now we can pass to a repetitive manufacturing line. After a glorious first life as a prototype for R&D, it is on his way to go to work in a centralized heating plant to supply heat: this will be his seconf life. Warm Regards, A.R.
