Wrong again Cude. No one has ever claimed that an ECAT has run in SSM without connection to the power mains. Read what Rossi has written. His definition of SSM is restricted to a brief period of time during which the device is slowly cooling off but generating internal heat. Controlled cooling has not been proven to work yet and may not work with the present design.

That would be nice, but evidently that would probably cause the reactor to melt, or explode, so it is not an option. That's the excuse anyway, but it makes no sense. If controlled cooling were used to regulate the temperature, I see no reason that the necessary temperature could not be maintained without it running away. And in the 2012 reports, Rossi, or Penon claim more than 100 hours of self-sustained running. And if it ever proves to have practical value, it will have to be possible to make it self-sustain, since it will have to be able to make more electrical power than it consumes, or more heat than you can make with the fuel that produced the electricity to begin with.
