In general, Defkalion's stuff appears much better engineered than Rossi's. If you saw the slides of the early prototypes in Focardi's talk, the one thing that stood out was the crudity of the construction.
"If it is a production model, it's probably what, 1kw or less provided it works?"
I think it's impossible to say at this point. They're using a much higher temperature fluid, and working in a totally different temperature regime, so that small gizmo may actually be turning out signficant energy.
"I hope they got someone good because they have no choice but to work with the reactor side of the picture and you get two numbnuts whose egos are better than their skills and it is a nightmare."
Been there, experienced that.....NOT fun.
"You may laugh and say any design should have all parties speaking but I've been in a place where no one talked so I had to get my info from the lead programmer (on the sly) to design the systems his software was running on. I couldn't believe it but it worked in the end. It would have worked better if we were all involved in the design phase.
I most definitely would not laugh....those are my sentiments exactly. Get as much input from as many people might have expertise UP FRONT in the design process has been my mantra for probably thirty years. It took me a while to learn that, but learn it I did.
This is supposed to be the original source:
I'm looking for a photo. He says he had it running at 200o degrees for two days.
