BIG NEWS about low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) Andrea Rossi claims to have developed a 10 kilowatt (heat) E-Cat LENR home heater the size of a portable computer, with a projected retail price of just $500. Rossi says his new heater can be refueled by home owners after six months of continuous 24-7 use, and that nickel powder fuel refills will only cost about $10. Extrapolating from that, using four such heaters to provide both heat and hot water for a large 3,000 square foot home over a 6 month winter heating season will cost about $40, plus the cost of a small amount of electricity needed to keep the E-Cats running. Currently, Rossi guarantees his reactors will output at least six times energy input, and the E-Cat is upgradeable as new core designs provide greater efficiency. Rossi's chief competitor, Defkalion Green Technologies, already claims their Hyperion reactors output a least 25 times energy input. Unlike Defkalion's more complex design, no separate hydrogen gas canisters are used in the simplified E-Cat. Instead, the refillable reactor core, a totally sealed cartridge about the size of a pack of cigarettes, comes preloaded with sufficient hydrogen to allow the reactor to run for 180 days of continuous operation. Texas based National Instruments is manufacturing the controlling electronics and helping Rossi with research and development. A production sample of the new E-Cat is currently being tested by Underwriter Laboratories, and sales are expected to begin in early 2013 or sooner through chain stores and the Internet. Rossi is not seeking investors, and intends to make money on mass sales of a thoroughly tested product that is guaranteed to work, just as any common household appliance. Rossi's brilliant new design has reduced the E-Cat to just three main components: a easily replaceable reactor cartridge, a simple heating element to bring the reactor up to operating temperatures, and a low cost electronics board to control energy input and heat output. Combine simplified design with a highly automated factory now being prepared in Florida, and you can see how Rossi's very low price structure was achieved. If all of this proves true, E-Cat sales could have a substantial impact on oil prices, which are based on expectations of continued high demand for oil as fuel. Once the global marketplace realizes that all fossil fuels will soon become obsolete, will that knowledge by itself reduce the price of oil? Defkalion GT claims to have affordable, highly efficient home reactors suitable for electricity production already built and undergoing certification testing for European Union sales. Does this mean we will start tearing down big central power plants instead of building new ones? For details see THE FUSION REVOLUTION at: http://renewable.50webs.com/fusion.html
