“E-cat as a water or building heating system”

Think of the leading suppliers of building automation who are now very heavily involved in energy efficiency improvements:

Honeywell
Schneider Electric
Emerson
Siemens
Johnson Controls

All could be good partners for ECAT merely as a heat source if it were more efficient than other fuels, aside from any power generating capacity. Half of all energy is consumed for commercial and industrial purposes, and a good chunk of that is for heating.

That’s a good list of parties that would be interested earlier than most. Unfortunately I am not aware of any bits of data linking any of them to Rossi or the ECAT. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are paying close attention though.

Where isolation and distance drive fuel delivery costs through the ceiling your choice is an atomic power plant (all owned by the Department of Defense), or an e-Cat.

Doesn't matter if it's more efficient ~ it should be possible to keep 100 years worth of nickel filings on hand.
