Given the scope of this whole story and the hundreds of millions of dollars already on the table, it would be a simple thing to go to the trouble of pumping 1 MW of electricity into the array of 330 E-Cats with hidden power lines and convert it to thermal energy using resistance heaters embedded in the false E-Cat devices. (I don't think batteries or other on-board power generation would be sufficient for this stage of the scam, if scam it is.)

Wouldn't it be easy to verify it was a fake by the amount of power it was drawing off the grid?

Just put peroxide in the cooling fluid. It will make heat, and no hidden wires or grid draw.

Sure, if you know what meter to read. :-)

Let me think... my understanding is that a home needs ~4 kilowatts, give or take. So 1 MW draw would be equivalent to the power requirements for a couple hundred houses. Or perhaps equivalent to a middling-sized industrial facility. Drawing that amount of power without anyone noticing might be difficult but not impossible. Can anyone with experience in this area comment on that?
