Today in Italy, a new energy technology called the E-Cat is undergoing its first independent test of energy output. The E-Cat supposedly uses low-energy nuclear reactions to produce massive amounts of cheap and clean power, and if it works, it could completely revolutionize our entire society. If it works.
For the last several years, the E-Cat concept and prototypes have been bouncing around the nuclear energy community. Its method of operation has never been accepted in a peer-reviewed journal, all of the testing has been conducted by Andrea Rossi, the guy who designed the device (never a good idea), and nobody’s ever gotten a good look at the system itself, since it’s contained inside a sealed black box. via Dvice
