Yes. I've read Krivit's critique, and his accusations just don't wash.
"From the article it says the second system is operating around 400-450 Celsius. Is that enough to drive a steam turbine?"
At risk of arousing the knee-jerk anti-Rossi brigage....yes....there are variations of turbines that can be run on lower temperature steam..Rossi mentions that Siemens has such technology, and it is what he plans to use to generate electricity from his E-cats.
The turbine is real, even if the E-cat might not be.
"Is this a fusor type reactor? I’ll look at the data this evening."
No. This is a gas-loaded solid substrate CF reactor similar to Rossi's E-Cat, Miley's zirconium oxide paladium (or nickel) system, and several others.

We might as well leave Rossi out of the picture for now but I thought 400o to 450oC was the normal range for a steam turbine? If not, what is the lowest typical operating range for a steam turbine power plant?
I don't know if I'm reading this correctly. You said it's similar to zirconium oxide -palladium or that is what they use? So, is it an electrolytic cell like P&F? If so, what is the availability of this element, zirconium oxide?
Looking at a periodic table, zirconium 40) palladium (46) is farther to the right of Iron than Nickel(28) and copper (29)are. My understanding is that in what is thought of as conventional fusion, going to the right of Iron on the periodic table means it takes more energy to fuse these elements together where if the elements are to the left of Iron, fusing them gets you more energy out??
Is there a hole in conventional physics or can it explain these reactions? If not and these do work, it sounds like whoever gets the theory right might be the man of the hour so to speak.
