yeah right.

You apparently havn’t been around long enough to know that efficiency claims of ESTABLISHED technology is greatly exaggerated, let alone technology no one knows anything about.

This is assuming it isn’t a complete hoax, which it could very well be. If it isn’t a hoax, we are most likely going to find out the output from it is so minimal it is worthless technology.

refrigerator my ass. You still have to boil water and that requires a boiler and then turn a turbine with the steam which will turn a generator. So now you are up to a garage sized powerplant for your house...if it even works at all.

Look up the "Stanley Steamer" to see what an size-efficient steam cycle looks like. "Garage-sized powerplant" NOT needed.

Unless this thing can make steam much hotter than demonstrated, the question of size is moot. There is not enough delta T to efficiently turn a turbine.

If they can make high quality steam, there are turbines you can hold in your hand, think turbocharger. A high efficiency alternator also fits in your hand. That just leaves the size of the heat generator, a small boiler and a radiator on the back.

I still have not seen evidence that I consider convincing, but if it works, a steam turbine generator could be crammed into a box that would look a lot like a stand up freezer. It would be loud though, I wouldn’t want it in my house.

***That’s the whole point of LENR. There’s enough energy in a gallon of seawater to match 50 gallons of gasoline. What do I care if it ends up being 2 gallons of seawater instead? If the first Ecats are the size of 2 refrigerators instead of one, that’s no skin off my nose.
