The E-Cat uses steam (therefore water) to produce energy. But how ecological is it?
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himE-Cat, the wait for the cold fusion Rossi is more and more. But there are many doubts regarding the practical applications of catalysts, especially domestic E-Cats. While safety certifications are awaited, new implications emerge, which concern not only the operation of the E-Cat but also its environmental sustainability.
Sul Journal of Nuclear Physics, Rossi's blog, the focus has shifted to the fact that steam is also needed to produce energy with the E-Cat, in other wordswater. And water is considered a rare commodity in some parts of the world. How then to guarantee the production of energy through the E-Cat if one of the raw materials is missing in these areas? Explains Coldfusiondevices.com that while current power plants have enough daily water supplies to guarantee energy production, water shortages for underdeveloped countries could deny them the ability to produce energy through E-Cat.
But second Joseph Fine, a regular user of the Journal, theE-Cat it would not discharge the steam outside. In fact, the water would be passed through an external heat exchanger, a sort of dissipator and would be put back into circulation. The water would therefore come reused, it would not become a waste product.
This is what we have been able to assume based on the little that has been possible to know about Rossi's catalyst. If that were the case, the availability of energy from E-Cat would be particularly useful in areas of the world affected by drought.
Domestic or not, theE-Cat, if it really worked, it could take on a significant problem, that of the lack of electric energy in areas of the world where it does not yet arrive. But it is still too early to tell. The catalyst today produces thermal energy, although Rossi recently revealed that his team is working to study a system that also produces electricity.
