The following post was submitted by ECW reader Reynaldo.
I remember that the first E-Cat was just a water heater with 10 kW output with very little input.
This was just “cold fusion”, LENR of Ni to Cu.
For heating purposes, I still would like to sell this one instead of all other boilers, furnaces, heat pumps and so on!
I have a little experiment in my lab of high voltage (~150 V DC) “electrolysis” which gives me thermal energy with a COP of 3 (300% efficiency). But with the high electricity prices this still does not pay out.
This is also LENR according to a paper “Nuclear_Transmutation_Reaction_Caused_by_Light_Water_Electrolysis.pdf ”
I found that I get this surplus Energy with a Ni cathode and an stainless Steel anode.
As the nickel melts already around 1,600 °C it melts when too much energy is produced because of a higher input voltage.
Tungsten does not work as cathode as the very high temperature (I suppose ca. 10,000 °C) of the single light flashes of the individual reactions evaporates it and I get the tungsten dust at the bottom.
By now I am using a Mo (molybdenum) cathode withstandig about 2,600 °C and a tungstan anode.
The good about the present E-Cat: it generates electricity! I hope that the development will be finished soon and that there will not be too much resistance of the “elites”, as a common worldwide use of E-Cats would stop the big business of so-called “fossil fuels”… In reality it is the biggest business in the world: To sell ca. 8 km3 of petrol and (calculated as liquid) natural gas every year!

I just want to include one picture of my reactor in full action.
Input 230 V AC
With a measurement resistor 1.2 A input to the variac (instrument foreground left)
Water Temperature 100 °C
Variac AC output 132 V AC
Input to the reactor is DC (not measured), but with diode bridge rectifier and 1,100 μF condenser.
As you see the cathode is shining very bright and a lot of steam is being produced.
In this experiment no output measurement is made, but it is obvious that a metal bar of ca. 4 cm length and 3 mm diameter needs a lot of energy to maintain such a temperature submerged in water.
Input power including the losses in the variac and the rectifier is only 230 V x 1.2 A = 276 W
The amount of steam and the thermal and light radiation and the (only a little bit) of water splitting needs much more energy.
In a separate experiment I measured the steam production (condensing the water), calculated the loss of water (HHO production) and the radiation of the system (measuring only the cooling process of the turned off process, thus light radiation I could not include).
I got 280%.
