What is the E-Cat?
E-Cat stands for “Energy Catalyzer” and is an invention considered by many to be one of the most important technological developments of of our age. It is an energy production device invented by Italian-American inventor Andrea Rossi who has been developing of the course of over two decades, and has now come to a point where he is ready to make a formal introduction of a recent version of the E-Cat in a video conference that will be video streamed worldwide on November 24 2017 on his company’s website Ecat.com starting at 12 noon US Eastern Time.
How Does the E-Cat Work?
While there is considerable secrecy surrounding the exact technical specifications of the E-Cat, patent disclosures state that powdered nickel metal, lithium and lithium aluminum hydride (LaAlH4) are combined to produce large amounts of heat, far in excess of possible chemical reactions, through a currently little understood low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) process inside a reaction chamber.
In this process, when an external energy source is applied to the E-Cat device, large amounts of thermal energy (heat) are produced, much more than the energy input into the device. The exact nature of the energetic stimulation that Rossi applies to his E-Cat devices in order to “catalyze” the energy output is a closely kept trade secret.
Potential uses
The energy produced by the LENR reaction of the E-Cat (which Andrea Rossi calls the “Rossi Effect”) is in the form of heat which can be used for any number of purposes, including the production of steam, which is the principle way that most electricity is generated at power stations today, whether fossil fuel or nuclear.
The significance of the E-Cat as an energy source is that it can produce energy at a much cheaper rate and much more cleanly than other sources on the market. The major ingredients, nickel, lithium and hydrogen are common elements and readily available at low cost, and inside the E-Cat are consumed in very small quantities. There is no release of CO2 or other greenhouse gases from the E-Cat from fuel combustion. Unlike traditional nuclear fission power, no radioactive materials are involved, and no radioactive waste is produced. ... ...
