The E-Cat loses steam

Source: Cassandra’s legacy
Andrea Rossi and Sergio Focardi have recently claimed the development of a device (the “energy catalyser” or “E-Cat”) able to produce useful energy from low temperature nuclear fusion reactions. If it were to work as reported, the E-Cat would be a true revolution not only in science, but also in everyday life. We would have a simple device able to produce plenty of low cost energy without generating significant pollution and we could say good-bye to the energy crisis and to global warming as well. In a previous post of mine on “The Oil Drum,” I examined the E-Cat leaving open the possibility that it was a real fusion device. Here, I re-examine the question on the basis of new data. It looks now very unlikely that the E-Cat can work as claimed.
