Eric, I suspect that the duty cycle is indeed most of the proprietary information. That must be adjusted to compensate for a lot of parameters associated with the ECAT. The model I speak of often suggests that the duty cycle is what keeps the device under control.
I wonder if anyone in Rossi's group is monitoring what we are saying in this list. If they are then they would know that we are on to that type of control. There may also be a DC or complex shaped AC drive applied to the ECAT directly from the control box. We have no other information than the fact that this waveform draws a constant power from the AC mains. The complex actions taken by the controller are not known to us.

See Plot 8 in the paper; this might be the waveform. (Note that the x axis is in seconds.) On second thought, that might just be the duty cycle. ;) It's good to learn new things -- electricity, for one. Eric
