The Principle of operation: (the secret process that makes the Cat-E go) between the small 2.5 kw reactor in which the band heater is used and the 10 kw Cat-E in which only the internal heater is used is the same.
Logically, the band heater does not drive or in any way affect the “secret” motive force behind the Rossi reactor. If the external band heater were a driver of the reaction and since the big Cat-E does not have one, then the big Cat-E should not work … but it does. Logic says that the external band heater is not central to the basic mechanisms of the Cat-E and it is just a startup source of heat.
