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.
