The first video showing the incomplete 1 MW plant http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3264361.ece Also, Rossi has said there will be a live stream during the 1 MW plant demonstration. | ||

Good find! I don't know if a 1MW demonstration will end the last remnants of my skepticism, but certainly if the buyer is completely satisfied with running it for a couple weeks I'll be behind it. | ||

It's showing still producing a LOT of steam after half an hour without electrical input. | ||

If real: Free Energy: (put 1 in, get 4 out; build enough of them and it will be very close to "free") = Cheap to run UV lamps = Cheap Food = Cheap Hydrogen = Cheap fuel for anything = Cheap Electricity = Cheap to run robots from street cleaning to Nickel mining = Cheap pumping water to reclaim deserts as fertile ground I could go on, but you could just sum it up as solution to all our problems not to mention i'm getting tired of the word "Cheap". If fake: +1 Rich italian guy hiding / living on a remote island; world stays the same. As far as i'm concerned its a win-win scenario XD. | ||

Oil industry comes to mind ... I don't see humans ever not needing plastic materials so i don't think that's the issue. If you do what to consider something of this magnitude i would rather look national debt or the discrepancy between super-rich and middle class. Cheap Everything would mean that all our currencies (exept gold but even that to some extent) start devaluating fast. Imagine if China's investment into US debt would suddenly lose 85% of its value. How do you think that would make the chinese feel ? But this is true for all countries.Up to this point some countries have been extreemly wise when handling their money (see Germany) while others have had unmerited growth through insane debt (see Greece); now suddenly in a few years or a decade the Greek debt devalues to 15% of current. Fair ? Also consider nuclear / wind / solar / alternative energy investments just made in previous years which are expected to pay for themselves and then bring in profit (i'm sorry i don't know an english word for this one) in a couple of decades. I foresee lots of angry investors in this industry. Also, the super-rich enjoy being "super-rich". If luxury becomes "cheap" and lets say most of the middle class can afford "yachts" because they're built by robots running on cheap electricity we have a problem as it will take a few decades for the very rich people to find new things to do that the middle class cannot afford (such as space tourism). I honestly think we'll see billionaires with protest signs picketing government buildings (sorry for trolling on this one). And so on. | ||

By writing an article about it and getting a patent? Derp. Not to mention that a world-changing technology like this is in itself reward enough. | ||

Oil industry comes to mind ... Off Topic. People see the fact that plastic bio-degrades in about a thousand years as a "bad thing". I see it as a good thing. In about 150 years when we run out of petrol completely, digging up past landfills to "mine" for plastic will be a lucrative industry. | ||

There's been enough research into LENR/CARN reactions that it is possible however unlikely that his particular one does give off this much energy for very cheap starting materials. | ||

These kinds of discoveries are exiting in any case.  | ||

Yes, its called Nickel in this case. We don't have an infinite supply on earth, but asteroids are made of iron / nickel. I too am somewhat skeptical, but since we're bound to find out in no more than 1 month or so i think wild speculation is fun . | ||

By scalable I am actually more interested in the downscaling of it. i.e. if it's fo rela, will I be able to pour a quarter cup of water into my phone and let it run on its own for a year or what? One unit is already the size of a toaster O_O; but it needs to be permanently connected to a power source and it only produces steam. You then need a way to get electricity out of steam. My guess is to get raw electricity out of it you'd need something the size of 2 toasters. You'd put 1Kw+nickel in, get 4Kw out. The question becomes, how much will nickel prices rise if this is real and do we have enough of it (or can we mine enough). | ||

It doesn't consume water. It consumes nickel and hydrogen. The water is used as heat exchanging medium. Rossi is planning to make "household sized" units that will produce hot water and electricity. The current goal is to deliver the 1 MW heating plant to his customer though. | ||
