HYDROGEN OR DEUTERIUM, WHICH IS USED IN E-CAT TECHNOLOGY?

The content of Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat cold fusion unit is still under wraps, not available for public analysis until the patent is secure. Until, speculation abounds in concerns with the actual fuel used for his reactors.

These units are designed for home use, providing 1MW of power for home use. The fact that it is cold fusion is fascinating, considering that successful cold fusion has been an elusive power source for decades.

Most researchers who have developed cold fusion techniques use hydrogen and nickel to produce the reaction. This produces no harmful or dangerous radiation or radioactive waste. However, Rossi has taken it one step further and contained every aspect of the reaction within a canister that can be replaced.

Some scientists have suggested that the nickel is simply a catalyst, but what Rossi shares is that the nickel is part of the reaction, being converted into copper to produce energy.

The role of hydrogen is also a subject of speculation. Hydrogen and nickel are both readily available. However, if deuterium, or (heavy hydrogen) is the material being used, it could seriously affect the availability and costs of the units. This is due to the difficulty in obtaining deuterium.

Whichever is used in Rossi’s units is not yet disclosed. He does go so far as to say that the entire charge is contained in the cartridge. Hopefully, in a few months, the world will know how Rossi has accomplished this technology.

pC @EA omatic restart is a safe device for the E-Cat. This would be useful for people who are away from their homes during an unexpected cold snap. Leaving the unit off can leave the house vulnerable to winter storms, and a remote start ore automatic restart would prove very useful.
