This is great news, and adds a lot more credibility to Rossi’s claims.

I’ve noticed a change in mood on this subject around these parts lately. The last thread on the E-cat was a pleasure to read. When I first posted an article about it some time back, I was almost instantly buried in skeptics.

“This is great news, and adds a lot more credibility to Rossi’s claims.”

I began reading about the E-Cat about 10 days ago. I posted after that, that I believed that this device seems to have moved beyond the hoax stage. I generally stand by that uninformed assessment. Hopeful but skeptical until the large indistrial application is up and running and all can see that it works on the large scale.

I say this because I had great hope in the TDP process about 10 years or so ago. It seemed to worked well enough in a lab environment but it failed in the effort to scale it up to an industrial-sized process.

A degree of skepticism is good, particularly with all the various claims that float around the internet, most of which appear delusional.

I'm becoming less skeptical, and more hopeful, as time goes by. I still would like to see Rossi's e-cat device run for a month in an independent lab.

As far as e-cat generating power in your basement, that's at least a decade or two away. You do NOT want a high pressure steam turbine in your basement, regardless of the heat source. I COULD see e-cat power plants being built close to the power consumers, taking a load off the high-voltage long-distance transmission grid.
