Rossi: 100 E-Cat SKL Units Have Been Combined

Some questions on the Journal of Nuclear Physics today give an indication of some of the work that Andrea Rossi and his team are involved in at the moment.

Dear Mr. Rossi,

Does the test agency test a protopype of an industrial reactor?
What is the power of this reactor for testing?

E.Hergen:
We are dealing with an industrial assembly of modules, changing power.
Warm Regards,

Dear Mr. Rossi,
thank you for your answer. One follow up question:
What is the maximum number of modules you combined together up to now?

E.Hergen:
100
Warm Regards,

This is apparently the industrial plant that Rossi and his team is currently building, which he has stated would be presented at the public demonstration next year. I suppose it could be the case that only part of the plant has been built so far, and the final version would be more than 100 SKLs.

Rick 57 followed up with a question about the controller for this plant:

Dear Andrea,

related to your recent answer to Hergen, are you using just a single controller for all or each E-Cat has its own ?

Rick 57:
We have a single controller,

And I posted my own follow-up:

Dear Andrea,

Interesting to learn you have combined 100 modules together so far. In your testing, has this combination of E-Cat SKLs worked as you have hoped?

Frank Acland:
Almost,
Merry Christmas to you and your family,

It does sound like a lot of progress has been made of late. They must feel quite confident about the quality and operation of individual SKLs if they are now combining multiple units The fact that they can actually build 100 SKLs is quite impressive and indicates that they have a good manufacturing setup in place. It’s going to be interesting to eventually see the final product.
