Once again, a simple statement by Andrea Rossi on his blog site, Journal of Nuclear Physics, has stirred the imagination.
Rossi agreed with a frequent poster and contributor on his site, Iggy Dalrymple, who suggested that marketing for the E-Cat take place for small industrial units such as:
- Remote cell towers
- Radar sites
- Forward military observation posts
- Irrigation pumps
- Irrigation sprinklers
Rossi’s response to these suggestions was, “Yes these are possible marketing declinations.” This means that the applications of smaller E-Cats will certainly be broader than simply providing heat. Perhaps the 1MW plants will work in these applications. There are other situations in which an affordable, eco-friendly power source could fuel:
- Station pumps in sewage treatment plants
- Power for oil well pumps
- Electricity for street lights, sparing municipal expenses
- Electrical power for school buildings
- Lighting and power for subways, trams, and Els
These, of course, are in addition to the major players in the energy consumption field, such as individual homes, corporate complexes, industrial sites, and governmental buildings.
Rossi has stated, recently, that he trusts the certification process for his E-Cats. He has long held that there is not a vast conspiracy to keep his product from the market. He also stated, even as recently as July 4th, that he is manufacturing the industrial, 1MW power plants. All of this is good news.
Now, everyone is looking forward to the certifications and if customers of the industrial E-Cat would just give open their doors to the public, the world will have an opportunity to see the the plants in motion.

Ships! Ships are a perfect customer for the e-cat. There’s already plenty of water available on a ship. Using the e-cat to generate steam to run the turbine for the engines would be perfect. The steam could then be cooled back to liquid by use of sea water and run through again.
Put one for each engine, and one for electricity, and the fuel savings will be immediate. This would immediately drop transportation costs for shipping. Considering shiping by water is supposed to be at least 70% of how products are transported worldwide, this would immediately have a positive effect on the economy.
Not only would it also save thousands of gallons of gasoline every day (if not tens of thousands or more), it would also validate the e-cat and cause a worldwide instant demand for the device.
Even better, there would be a new industry converting ship engines to use the e-cat, which would provide jobs. It would also mean the ship fuel tanks could be converted to storage instead of having to carry the fuel everywhere the ship goes.
The extra benefit here is that any ship that crashes wouldn’t leak their fuel into the sea or river.

Effectively, take any 1hp or greater motor, electric or fossil fuel based, that runs in a near or fully continuous fashion and pair it up with a LENR reactor/generator.
The more isolated such units are the better suited they will be for teaming up with a LENR “reacterator”. The problem with such configurations is the maintenance and management of the units. Distributed energy generation is much more labor intensive and logistically problematic than centralized power generation. There will be a natural balance point established for such generation/usage units, probably due to size, remoteness, criticality level of continuous operation.
• The larger the energy demand the more lucrative it is to establish local energy generation. Less time spent per unit of energy generated in maintenance.
• The more remote, that is, the further from a central energy source, the more economical. Just getting centrally gen’d energy out to the sticks is burdensome and costly.
• And the higher level of continuous operation need the more useful local energy gen will be, comm/data centers, hospitals, water processing, etc.
