"look up how much horsepower a stanley steamer made. If you think you can make enough electricity for a whole house with a lawnmower engine, THINK AGAIN buddy boy."

According to Google.....the equivalent of 15KW. And not precisely "garage-sized". Now.....add the technology advances demonstrated for the prototype steam cars from the 1970's, and I think you'll find you CAN power your house with a system "slightly" smaller than "garage sized".

The E-cat of the 6 October demonstration is rated 27KW. As run, it was throttled WAY back (only one "core" of three being run).

“The E-cat of the 6 October demonstration is rated 27KW.”

He demostrated low quality steam, even if he can boil water with 27kW of heat output, we’ll be lucky to see 1kW of electricity generated with wet steam.

If he can get the temp up to 300-400 degrees, 27kW of steam will only make about 5 kW of electricity in the real world.

Describing heat output in kW is using a correct unit but leads to confusion because heat does not equal electricity.
