Thanks for posting this. Although I am completely unqualified to weigh in on the scientific aspects of this, what did catch my attention was the use of nickel. It seems like demand for it could increase significantly in the years ahead if this pans out (along with even the even more significant, game-changing aspects of the energy equation.)

The market price of nickel is $27K per ton, or $13 bucks per pound. An e-cat, in 50 cubic cm, holds well under a pound. A unit producing 4.7kw of energy for 6 months is about 20,000 kWh. At $0.10/kWh, that's $2K worth of energy from under $13 worth of nickel.
