Albert N.:
Because I made a revolution in it. It is a completely new thing that, by my calculatons, should ( SHOULD) improve the “classic” one. It is an attempt: if it goes, the improvement, in term of ssm, will be strong. Otherwise, it is a wrong idea. The only way to know is to make an experiment. The funny part is how I got this idea: after the hernia surgery, when I woke up from the total anesthesy I got through, I had to stay some hour in a room, with pain. I am used to overcome pain relaxing and focusing strongly in something; obviously I focused on a new reactor and it came out. Now we did it, tomorrow goes in action. We’ll see if she is an abort or a baby. If she is a baby, is a M.me Curie!
Warm Regards,
A.R.
UPDATE #2 (July 26, 2015)
The new model Hot Cat has apparently started up:

In this moment here it is 01.20 a.m. of Sunday July 26.
The new Hot Cat is just started. She is promising well, but obviously before saying anything worth to be listened is necessary a period of several days.
Warm Regards
A.RRossi has 3 generations of hot cats running in his container at this time, with two of them being new and are "notable advancements on the idea" compared to the original 100 cores that were first installed.
Also note that because of 2-4x efficiency improvements only 4 of the newer larger cores are needed to equal the 50 of the originally installed cores (the 100 core plant is now more efficient too and keeps over half of its cores off line now just to keep from overproducing steam).
Reading the various comments, Rossi was doped to the gills after his hernia surgery and that excited his thinking bone a bit and some new approaches came to him in his waking pain dreams and he wrote them all down.
He's got the first of these experiments already up and running already --- there is a supposition that he is using a small controlled hot cat (either nearby central to a cluster of larger cores or inside a
much larger lower temp core) to excite the much larger core body, with coils of wire around that one that are intended to catch the induced DC current that is produced by the big 'un in reaction to the controlled dance of the little one inside it.
The much much higher COP comes from only paying to heat and excite the one small central core, with it providing the free energy to pump the other larger more massive core(s). Key thing is if the power generation pick up coil outside the whole affair, if it can make enough juice to control / power the small center core, then you got the potential for a mobile power plant.
That's 3 significant levels of improvements inside a year --- not a bad rate of improvement, huh?
It is clear also that Rossi is reacting to the work done by the Chinese government, which is struggling to control a similar "mobile intended" plant as we speak.
