Energy Catalyzer by Andrea Rossi

Post by SpaceMarine93 »

I had recently noticed about this new invention by this Physicist named Andrea Rossi, called the E-Cat. According to Wikipedia and its official 2009 Patent application, it is essentially:
"a method and apparatus for carrying out nickel and hydrogen exothermal reactions,"
Some confusing reports suggests that it is essentially a cold fusion device (which nearly everyone in the scientific community had criticized for years as bogus) while the inventor himself denied it is a cold fusion generator and say that it is a device which utilizes Low Energy Nuclear Reactions to generate power.

Can someone please explain to me how exactly does it work, if it works at all? What's the verdict by the science community so far about its legitimacy and practicality? And if it REALLY works, what are your opinions on how it would transform society as we know it?
Life sucks and is probably meaningless, but that doesn't mean there's no reason to be good.
