E-Cat: Cold Fusion?
Spoiler alert: NOPE.
Italian "inventor" Andrea Rossi is making big waves this week with reports that his E-Cat invention has been demonstrated for "private corporate interests" who were apparently satisfied that the device did indeed produce free energy as promised.
Color me unsurprised.
What would surprise me is if the E-Cat had been shown to, you know, scientists. People who have some kind of background or training which qualifies them to determine whether or not a magic black box is producing energy out of thin air without any unpleasant side effects. The fact that the corporate investors were unnamed only makes the whole thing more likely to be a scam.
