I want 2 water heaters. I’ve got the check ready for when they come out.

[KoRn]

I found an image of one!

They had this one on sale for $299,999.97! Order now, and you will receive a second one for free! - with additional processing and handling

Their logo is too busy and, as cute as the kitty is, it’s a bit much.

One quick observation... I see that Stirling Alan, the man who reported that Rossi had a deal with National Instruments, has apparently set up Rossi's web site.

Not only is he reporting on Rossi, but he's a business partner as well.

Residential system cost (if and when): $2500 for the device, $20 - $40 per year in "fuel"

Sounds too goo to be true.

[Steely Tom]

From the 1MW unit's page:

"An auxiliary power source of 250 kW will be needed to start up the plant, bringing the resistive heaters up to temperature."

That's a lot of juice, boys and girls.

Terms: Full payment in escrow.

That sounds nice and honest. Maybe it is.

Of course, with $200 million in escrow (the cost of the 100 E-Cats that Rossi claims to have orders for), he should have no trouble attracting venture capitalists or (more likely, I think) individual investors.

This wouldn't be the first time a con artist used sales in escrow to scam investors. Steorn appears to have raised over €10 million from investors and venture capitalists for a "free energy" scam.

According to Jed Rothwell, quoting the Forbes article, National Instruments did not buy an E-Cat from Rossi. LINK

I guess the secret company is still secret.

Pretty soon this puke is going to get a bailout.

If I want to see it work, do I have to buy it first? Pelosi style?

Small scale enough to heat an average size home in the snow belt for a quarter of the amount of the cost of an new oil burner with less than 10% of the price of fuel oil is a dream.

Right now it's in the category of 'If it's too good to be true...'.

Still waiting for the producer hands off and independent tester hands on tests. I just can’t understand why Bernie Madoff keeps coming to mind every time I see this article.
