If it works, it will be world-changing. I'm going to wait for the 1 MW(thermal) pilot unit in Greece to start production in October before I get excited. I'm going to hold off until I see Rossi produce a 100MW electric plant, running continually. At that stage, it becomes very, very hard to fake this sort of thing.
If he can crank up a 100 MW power plant using an e-cat matrix, the world will no longer be ignoring him (and every arab in the world will be gunning for him, along with the Russians, because oil will suddenly become much less valuable)
Considering that the office building I work in spends around $750k a year on electricity I'd love to see the price on a self contained 1mw electric plant.
The fleet of utility trucks constantly repairing lines and replacing transformers could be replaced by refueling vehicles making regular deliveries to every office building, industrial plant and shopping center.
I was somewhat surprised to read that the 1MW unit will actually be hundreds of the demo units working in tandem. Why, do you think? Because Rossi has been unable to control the process inside a considerably larger reaction vessel? Or, and this is my uninformed guess, he doesn’t have the capital required to develop a large device but hopes to get sufficient funding if he demonstrates he can reliably provide 1MW of power using his proven 50ccm units.
