The article is a bit amateurish but some interesting details are mentioned.

[expatpat]

Sounds like a scam to me.

[babygene]

Well, we’ll just have to see...

3 x 3 x 2 meters and weighing only 2 tons.

That would fit in my backyard.................

[Paladin2]

Certainly plenty of promotion and hype going on in the article.

Interesting that the MSM is paying no attention to this. Could be a scam, but if it is legit, then WOW.

"The article is a bit amateurish but some interesting details are mentioned."

And has some signicant errors:

"Although this might be dangerous due to the small amount of gamma rays produced by the device (that can be shielded with 2cm of lead and a layer of boron).."

Boron is a good shield for neutrons, not gammas. You need a high atomic number materials to stop gammas. The best gamma shield material......depleted uranium.

. Andrea Rossi has recently stated that a recharge that would power a unit for six months would only cost approximately $100 dollars. To produce the same amount of energy from oil would cost thousands of dollars.

The answer to many of our problems? But when will this supposed technology be available for widespread testing and analysis to determine whether it is for real?

“Sounds like a scam to me.”

Actually, no it doesn’t. The time frame is way to short. If it were a scam he would have been milking it for money a long time ago. There seems to be no way to “invest” in this even if you wanted to.

TO SERVE MAN-—IT’S A COOKBOOK!

(I hope cold fusion story is for real and not a scam)

Maybe not giving this device an 1890s carnival sideshow name would help. Could I have a sarsaparilla with that?

“But when will this supposed technology be available for widespread testing and analysis to determine whether it is for real?”

Apparently sometime this fall.

There ought to plenty of that in Japan.................

[Red Badger]

Yeah, the name is kinda off-putting, in that it sounds so snake oil salesman-like..............I guess that’s why they modernized it with “E-Cat”............

[Abathar]

"There ought to plenty of that in Japan................."

You should slap yourself for that one Red. :)

[Red Badger]

* E-Cats will be sold to the public by the end of this year.

IF this is not a scam, AND the price is not astronomical, companies all over the world will buy these things up as fast as they can make them......................

[Red Badger]

Okay......I'll take a Red Card.....................

[Free Vulcan]

I think they’ve shorted it to E-cat to make it snappier, for that very reason.

Don’t spill any of that sasparilla on your pantaloons, though I’ve heard soaking your carbuncles in it while listening to the Victrola helps with the pain.

[SpaceBar]

Sounds like a scam to me.

Me too, big time, and yes, I read the "article".

[DManA]

Yup. The market will decide if this is a scam in short order.
