Was that e-cat capable of running in a self sustaining mode?

Some more questions are suggested at ‘Starts With a Bang’, just google, “the e-cat is back and people are still falling for it”.

Here is the link.

I find this part interesting.

Well, the short of it is, it got very hot and stayed very hot — about three-to-seven times hotter than you’d expect based on 360 W of continuous power — for the entire time that it ran.
And then, when you get all the way to page 20, you find this red flag:
During the coil ON states, the instantaneous power absorbed by the E-Cat HT2 and the control box together was visible on the PCE-830 LCD display. This value, with some fluctuations in time, remained in any case within a range of 910-930 W. By checking the video image relevant to the PCE-830 LCD display, we were also able to estimate the length of the ON/OFF intervals: with reference to the entire duration of the test, the resistor coils were on for about 35% of the time, and off for the remaining 65%.
So… it wasn’t a continuous 360 Watts, but rather there was a switching between on/off states, where it was drew over 900 W of power for about a third of the time, and then far less for the other two-thirds. They also only approximate, rather than measure (or provide data for) the amount of power drawn.

Several times we've been told that two of the Seven were members of a skeptics group. Then why weren't THEY asking these questions? Where is that aggressive, squinty eyed skepticism reserved for bigfoot and alien autopsies?

If some device is going to change the world on the cheap then every possible means of deception should be given priority not every possible verification.
