According to claims - 1Mw plant from 300 Ecats. Works out to 3300 watts per Ecat. I’m thinking that there might be a market in the home generation market. Two of these puppies and I could not only negate my current electric bill, but I could be selling energy back to the grid. It would be interesting to see a cost model to see if that would be viable.
There will be. And Rossi says he is looking into it. My take from all the discussions is that his earlier test units were aimed at larger outputs from a single unit (10KW), but units of that size appear not to be easy to control (tend to thermally "run away" and "melt down"). Evidently, late in the development process, he found that smaller units were easier to control, but he knows that something for unattended use in the home market has to pass a higher standard of controllability and safety. Industrial uses.....not so much. So those will come first.
