“This is great news, and adds a lot more credibility to Rossis claims.”
I began reading about the E-Cat about 10 days ago. I posted after that, that I believed that this device seems to have moved beyond the hoax stage. I generally stand by that uninformed assessment. Hopeful but skeptical until the large indistrial application is up and running and all can see that it works on the large scale.
I say this because I had great hope in the TDP process about 10 years or so ago. It seemed to worked well enough in a lab environment but it failed in the effort to scale it up to an industrial-sized process.
Like you, I don't have the technical grounding to discuss this invention in anything but layman's terms, but from what I understand, Rossi plans to daisy-chain an array of his small devices together to achieve the next greater level of energy output.
Others have speculated on why he's chosen to do that, instead of scaling up the size of his reactor.
