I do not expect to see an e-cat car within the next decade. An e-cat locomotive engine or ship is much more likely within the next 10 years (assuming, as always, that the thing works). This still would have a huge impact on diesel usage, and thus on diesel prices.
The same news blurb that mentioned cars also mentioned ships, so you may be right about the initial focus.
I should have mentioned/repeated that Rossi himself denied the September report, but I keep hoping that public pressure pushes them to make a public demonstration sooner than later. I don’t suppose those of us in the cheap seats have much leverage though, in asking for such consideration.
That's pretty basic stuff ~ just cut, weld, snag, grind, hook in ~ you can cut an adaptive bracket for anything to anything in almost nothing.
Now, as far as major manufacturers doing anything? They'll never get in on it. Due to the Great World Wide Obama Recession labor at custom shops is too cheap, so everything is going to be custom for quite some time.
They have made deals with car companies in the R&D sector in order to research the application of the e-cat in cars, also the same applies for ships. He also said that they made a deal with a very big company , but they will not announce that yet.
