For what it's worth ... I did run a search, but didn't see this posted.

The report is referenced elsewhere in a different thread. Thanks.

I didn't see it posted before.

Not the perfect out of the bag test many had hoped for, nor the abject failure and scam some on this forum are staking every last shred of credibility and integrity on either.

So we should be able to keep them arguing for some time :) err... I mean how disappointing...

$100 per kilowatt-hour will purchase one of these

These first plants will cost around $2,000 per kilowatt to build one at a time, but once they are mass produced, Rossi expects the price to drop to around $100 per kilowatt installed.

Once the reaction chambers got up to temperature, they were maintained by the heat produced by the reaction. I'm not sure why they kept the generator running after that, but I would guess it was for back-up or safety.

Probably the biggest opening for skeptics will be the continually running genset that is probably rated for 500 kW (my guess), and appears to have been connected by cables to the E-Cat.

That's interesting.

That means no substantial external energy was required to make it run,...

I don't have the details of the design, but this phrase shows up in every test report. Something is odd here; a 1MW system generating 470kW that still needs a little external help. How do they say this, the follow with the claim that is produces a surplus. There is not a surplus until the unit produces enough energy to sustain itself then have extra left over.

I think a more accurate headline would be that it was a partially successful test (at best). Because of a “glitch” that wouldn’t allow it to actually generate the 1 MW in self-sustain mode.

Also I think it would have been more impressive if once the resistive chanbers got up to temperature, that they stopped running the initial generators that got them warmed up. The reporter mentioned this and I think it would have given one less thing to possibly malign the test.

and the unknown customer, who ran the test, is apparently happy.

Just as happy as those guys who are always winning at the three card monte tables I bet....

A shill, plant or stooge is a person who helps a person or organization without disclosing that he or she has a close relationship with that person or organization. Shill typically refers to someone who purposely gives onlookers the impression that he or she is an enthusiastic independent customer of a seller (or marketer of ideas) that he or she is secretly working for. The person or group that hires the shill is using crowd psychology, to encourage other onlookers or audience members to purchase the goods or services (or accept the ideas being marketed). Shills are often employed by confidence artists. - wikipedia

So, they left this honking big genset connected and running throughout the experiment? Gee, I wonder why they did that...
