We don't even know what the cell looked like. Rossi did not show it. All we saw was a large machine and inside was another box with some fins. Did I miss something? It's possible Rossi did not provide information to support the calculation of an accurately determined power density. Also, the 8 kW, while I know you think is reliable, has been argued about by knowledgeable people. It may be much less. As I noted before, a blank/calibration run would have settled that issue for sure but as usual, Rossi didn't allow it to be done.
