No one (except maybe Rossi and his colleagues) knows whether this can be economically competitive at scale -- but that was true when Edison finally got his light bulb working reliably.
With the "dummy reactor", the reactor with electrical current running through it but no fuel (nickel, lithium, hydrogen), the measured temperature of the reactor body was 410-460 degrees C. (Table 3, Column 3, Areas 1-10).
When the same reactor was run with the same electrical current. but now with the fuel present, the measured temperature of the reactor body was 1240-1410 degrees C (Table 6, Column 2).
The only thing that maintained an Celsius temperature difference of 800-900 degrees over a period of 32 days was the one gram of fuel.
Unless there is evidence of fraud, this is pretty compelling evidence that something new is going on.
Fantastic. I look forward to seeing them for sale soon.
