Wanting the thing to run for 5-6 hours free from outside generators supplying more power than the e-cat is outputting is not asking for perfection.
The thing was supposed to run 1 MW but Rossi said there was a problem and it could only do about half that. The generators were connected to it all the time outputting 500 KW and the e-cat put out about 480 KW.
That’s not perfection. That is not convincing proof by any stretch.
And keep in mind I would love to see something like an e-cat work. To date according to the descriptions of the tests conducted and released, I don’t believe this has been proven.
Concur -- That it ain't! The herd of e-Cats did not do as well as would have been projected from the best single e-Cat run.
If each e-Cat has its own will like this, and it looks like e-Cats can't be reused so it's not just a matter of finding "good" ones, then herds of e-Cats will continue to disappoint, as will most individual e-Cats.
I do not want to see this made a Federal project, and it is beginning to look to me like yes, kevmo is a shill for it, argufying even the most logical points I've made. That sort of advocacy would be beyond the pale for FR which is why I am flagging Jim Rob.
Not true. There is ZERO evidence that the generator was supplying more than the power needed to run pumps and auxiliary devices during the self-sustain mode period. This is TOTALLY speculation from the skeptic crowd.
"The thing was supposed to run 1 MW but Rossi said there was a problem and it could only do about half that. The generators were connected to it all the time outputting 500 KW and the e-cat put out about 480 KW."
Also incorrect. The unit "did" run at 1 MW in "power modulated mode" exactly as specified. When switched to "self-sustained mode", instabilities in the system required reduction to the stated 480KW.
"And keep in mind I would love to see something like an e-cat work. To date according to the descriptions of the tests conducted and released, I dont believe this has been proven."
If you only read the speculations of the skeptics, you'll end up with that picture.
