The following post is a comment made by Calle H. on a previous post.
What is amazing, I think, with the E-Cat is the engineering achievement by Andrea Rossi and his team. A.R. has taught us the 7-step theoretical thread (first posted on JONP January 1, 2022) and rewritten here
1- point zero energy
2- dV/dt with high dV-> increase of ZBW and Aharonov-Bohm effect
3- electrons phase change
4- formation of electrons clusters in phase
5- < entropy, < thermal capacity, < freedom degrees
6- transfer of energy to electrons not in phase
7- emission of energy
Here, point zero energy and ZBW reveals that things are happening at the quantum scale. How can you engineer anything at the quantum scale of 10^-16 meters?
The industrial evolution started by engineering the steam engine at the scale of 1 meter. As evolution progressed things could be made smaller so that today we may engineer things at the scale of the size of the atom 10^-10 meters. The difference between the atom world and the quantum world is then 10^6 or one million times. That is a gigantic step. A.R. may not be awarded the Nobel Prize for the physics (as no new physics has been discovered or disclosed at the Nobel Prize level) but he should get the prize for his engineering achievement.
Many brilliant readers here on the ECW have contributed by comments and discussions so that the 7-step theoretical thread could be extended with more points and further split into sub-steps. This would result in a great puzzle as a contribution to the development. A.R. has said that the blogs have helped him a lot throughout the years.
One thing is for sure. The development will not stop with the E-Cat deliveries later this year.
