It has been an interesting day indeed. One observation that I made is that the thermal and plasma control of the DGT device is not so easy. It appeared to take quite a balancing act in order for the device to work within its desired range and the guys handling the controls had their hands full most of the time.
I harbored hope that this device would be more dependent upon the plasma generation and less core temperature, but that is not entirely clear at this time. The behavior that I observed reminded me a lot of the ECAT in its positive feedback mode, but it is early to be confident of exactly how difficult it will be to have firm control of a product using this technology. I assume that operations will improve with time, or that a computerized controller would be capable of working all of the controls to achieve the desired level of output power. As a matter of fact, I am a little concerned that this demonstration was not under any automatic control at this point in development. They should be working on various algorithms by now unless this particular situation is far removed from normal operation. So, I suppose that overall I am pleased with what I have seen and look forward to the future of LENR in saving the world from its various problems. It is hoped that this and other recent demonstrations will catch the attention of the powers and lead to rapid development. There did appear to be holes in the demonstration that need backfilling if the skeptics are to be satisfied. Of course, it might not be possible to reach that degree of performance in this lifetime. Mats performed his duties very well and his work will keep some of the skeptics a little less vocal. Hopefully, more time will be available to complete answering some issues. Dave
