A little closer look at those numbers

Pardon the lack of neatness here. I plugged in some numbers from that calculator I mentioned yesterday. It confirms my opinion that the E-cat was developing at least as much energy as it consumed just prior to going self sustaining. The period between 11:00 and 12:00 is not significant in terms of energy consumption. The period from 12:00 to 14:00 uses at most 5.4 kwh.    The period between 14:00 and 16:00 was producing energy at a rate that was roughly equal to consumption.  A slight excess can make up for the warm up period between 11 and 12.  That should leave us with a 5.4 kwh to make up in order to get to break even.

Given that it ran for 3.5 hours at a conservative estimate of 2 kwh, that means it has a slight surplus of about 1.6 kwh of energy production.  This doesn't count the cool down and is fairly conservative estimate.

It could have been ran longer in order to make it much more conclusive.  Unless there is a big error, I'd say it  doesn't look all bad.  

From 14:00 to 16:00
