FIRST FREE ENERGY DEVICE REACHES MARKET IN OCTOBER -- The Game Changer is Here

Chess:

I predict that electric utility providers and large industrial factories will be the ones to purchase the 1MW E-Cats for the most part, but only when it's fully ready to produce high temperature steam

Really?!  Sounds like a plan!   

If the home units were able to make high temperature steam, then you would need a boiler in order to accumulate the proper/necessary steam pressure to run an efficient steam turbine. 

I am not a thermodynamics guy but that doesn't sound or smell right to me.

Now just addressing Rossi's system (the home E-Cat); if it produces high temperature steam, then even a leak anywhere in the output lines can cause serious damage to life and property as high pressure leaks are almost invisible to the naked eye yet they can be sufficient to sever human limbs.

Night of the Living Steam Pipe.  It was an amazing movie.

This is the other safety risks involved in such a system besides the potential for the boiler to explode (which could also cause great bodily harm and take out walls in close proximity).

Jesus Christ somebody should invent something to prevent that from happening.

My plan is to purchase one of his home E-Cats and use it to drive a "wet" steam engine with a lower temperature boiler in series which in turn would drive an inefficient electric generator.  My whole idea is not to produce enough power to run my entire house.  Rather, I would simply be running a small generator in which I could charge a bank of batteries with while I'm sleeping (for 8 hours) and while I'm at work (for 10 hours more).

It sounds to me like a direct connection to the utility grid will be cheaper and lower in maintenance.

Rossi can save these people a small fortune relatively quickly.

Cool!  We would love to see the ROI spreadsheet.

It may well be that the system proposed by Chess would initially not be cost effective. If you live in a cold climate, and the system is within your house, there is no such thing as waste heat, because it heats your home. Also the system is a tool for research and development, so you can not expect perfection from day one. These sort of experiments demand a degree of self sacrifice for the long term benefit of everybody. The future has got to start somewhere. A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.

High pressure steam can remove limbs.

I know people that worked at Johns Hopkins maintenance facilities more than twenty years ago.  They used to search for steam leaks using a wooden pole or the opposite end of broom in front of them to protect themselves. When the pole snapped in half they found the leak.

Just thought I'd add that since MileHigh seems to think the notion is high fantasy.

Tenbatsu:

No I am fully aware that high pressure steam can do very nasty things.  Imagine what high pressure water can do - cut through steel.

What's high fantasy is to imagine an E-Cat approved for home use that would have exposed high-pressure steam lines that would normally run at such elevated pressures, and that they could put the occupants of the house in that kind of danger.  I think they call it "FMEA analysis."
