Why can’t they just hook one of those E cats up and see if can run a house or a building?
I believe they have done so over 14,700 times or somethign. I dunno; I forget my e-cataganda
That’s a good question. The thing is the technology isn’t really at that point yet. An E-Cat device in its current form is only a heat generating device.
What has people excited about the E-Cat concept is that these devices are producing large amounts of heat with virtually no fuel being consumed. At least, that is the claim being made.
Non-nuclear power plants burn enormous quantities of coal or natural gas to boil water to generate high-pressure steam. This steam then powers turbines that generate electricity.
So the scientists are working to perfect these devices to generate sufficient heat to replace the coal and natural gas now used in power plants.
If these things actually work, you might eventually see a lot of city/town/neighborhood sized power stations built where they are needed instead of the having today’s huge power plants where the electricity must be sent here and there all across the country.
The other avenue is simply using the E-cat process to heat water for home, buisness and industrial uses.
Who knows, there might even eventually be small, self-contained E-Cat power units sized for providing electricity and hot water for an individual home.
