Peter, You have done an excellent job of listing the main issues that will need attention. At this point we do not have sufficient information about the actual processes occurring and a good theory of how the energy is released. Until that occurs it will take a lot of empirical testing which seems to be what the two camps are doing.
It would appear that DGT has a process that is fuel starved for control much like an ICE which has been considered an analogy in recent posts. This technique may well result in a large COP which has advantages. I have to wonder whether or not damage is done to the active materials by the discharges. If this happens then life of service may be limited. Also, I suspect that the generation of the high voltages used for the process pose other problems as well. The basic design of Rossi's ECAT appears to be simple in structure which offers other advantages. The manufacturing cost should be low in his case, at least for the configuration that we have seen. My biggest concern is the limitation of COP and the difficulty of maintaining control.

And this was done and will be continued in the professional way. Est modus in rebus.

Both techniques appear to work. The main question is whether or not one of the processes has a significantly long life span before internal damage makes it require maintenance. Of course the cost of manufacturing is important as well.

This blows Rossi out of the water. [quote] The good-news claim is that DGT can control their multi-stage dynamic process. We observed their fifth-generation apparatus being ramped up in minutes instead of taking hours or days to reach levels of heat output several times higher than equivalent energy input of electricity....All that's needed to stop the reactor from producing excess heat energy is to switch off those currents that create plasma.
