#2"E-Cat" is short for "Energy Catalyzation" which is more or less cold-fusion.
Re: The E-Cat has been replicated?
#3Note that the "replication" seems to have been done by an organization that had set out specifically to produce this result and not by any sort of reputable scientists or lab. The announcement here is on the web site of a pro-E-cat book.
Needless to say, don't start celebrating the birth of the overunity era quite yet.

Thanks. I was wondering what this was about; my best guess was the CueCat from one of Joel Spolsky's old columns...

#5In fact, if this is replicated by independent engineers and they just published the actual method required.. it seems that Rossi will have lost claim to any money he could have made by actually making these devices or patenting them. I guess that nobody will need him, nor will they need to pay him any money to use the idea.

What makes me most happy here is that they are releasing what they claim is a rather complete "recipe"; this should hopefully lead to independent replication, hopefully by sceptics and hopefully many more replications.

#7Off-topic but related:
Lately I've been following the newest installment of the Steorn saga, and this E-Cat technology popped up in my travels. Some background: this company Steorn has been claiming to have made over-unity/free energy/whatever devices for some years now, but for some reason they never actually deliver. Well, this time, they took a bunch of pre-orders for, basically, a cell phone charger with unlimited life, and they even sent a few out.
The only confirmed delivered unit has been to the owner of an E-Cat news blog. It has been extremely amusing to watch the owner of the blog and the readers come up with justifications for why their unit doesn't work.
Funny stuff, if you think free energy idiocy is as funny as I do.

#8Why is this so difficult? Isolate the machine in a box where the only connection to the outside world is two wires. Draw power from those wires until you've pulled more energy than any known storage system could possibly provide. Boom, done.
Of course, my question is rhetorical. The answer is obvious: it doesn't work. If it worked, it would be easy to demonstrate.

He has a (US) patent already.

#10even unrolling 3M tape generates X-rays.

I as anybody want the cold fusion to work (and i believe that palladium experiment 20 years ago did work, and that there is something to their approach), yet "medical" X-rays from heated hydrogen gas/Li/Ni interface doesn't struck as something unexpected or pointing to any physics outside of chemistry and EM.
