>Scientists have never been allowed to examine the E-Cat, details of the supposed physics have never been revealed, and even the identities of his US business partners were only discovered by online sleuthing.

for fucks sake, why even publish such a bogus article

Because it's not all about the E-Cat. "Parkhomov has openly revealed his reactor design, ingredients used and experimental process, which is not terribly complex, and this allows for further experimentation to take place in the public domain, not under a cloak of secrecy"

I'm still a skeptic until plenty other people replicate it, but it's nice to see that some cold fusion researchers are acting like scientists now.

On the face of it, it does sound really bad, yes. However, the E-Cat is a longstanding project and whatever the nature of the process behind the anomolous results, it is gaining an increased amount of attention from groups working around the world, including NASA. If the independent replication attempt is the real deal any group of scientists will be able to investigate and verify it now, because the details are provided out in the open.

And the implications are enormous. If the process is real and robust it will mark the start of a new era in energy generation. It's a total game changer.

I have been following the E-Cat for a while and it has all the hallmarks of a scam, an incredibly elaborate scam if it proves the case. But it also could be a real revolution in the making. I think that makes it worth reporting on. Especially if this replication turns out to be valid.
