There is an excellent summary on ECatWorld.org covering the essentials of the E-Cat QX test of tomorrow Novembor 24. A video stream of the event will be available on ECAT.COM later during the day (~ at noon Miami time)
Some details about the E-Cat QX from the report:
- QX (earlier named by Rossi “Quark X”) is a very small cylinder shaped plasma reactor generating large amounts of excess heat (0-100%), light (0-50%)and electricity (0-10%).
- QX data- length 10mm-diameter 5mm- default output power 20W
- An activated QX contains a plasma between two LiAlH4 charged nickel rods
- QX plasma is charge neutral (Van de Graaff behaviour) , with voltage drop like an electrical conductor made by silver (Ag)
- QX plasma default temperature – >2300 Celsius
- QX reactor default input power – 0.01W (0.1V DC-0.1A)
- QX power default power density – 30W/cm-3
- Large output power can be obtained with combining many QX in a stack
- 1 MW power of QX stack fits within 1 cubic meter (excl. heat exchanger)
- QX modules will be reloaded in factory exchange system
- Work on QX is now moving towards phase of industrialization with assistance of Hydrofusion and unknown partner(s) .
- QX will be mass manufactured by ABB robots. First factories will be placed in USA and Sweden.
- Market introduction only after full economy of scale production is ready
- On Nov 11 2017 the one year reliabilty test of QX reached Sigma 5 wich according Rossi secures following performance properties:
- – COP is higher that 50 (>20000 calculated from latest experiement)
- – Tested QX supplied 20W heat power continuously in a year
- – QX functions totally at least one year (8760 hours) on one charge
- – QX charge will last 10 years with 10% intermittent use
- – QX units are possible to control
- – No harmful radiation is present
- – No risk for run away or melt down
- R&D is started to adapt QX based heater to Stirling engine within a year
- Universal mobile QX engine is in plans
