This document, “the E-Cat does not produce excess Energy” has some some
strange assertions.

"Where does the power go? Out of the E-Cat or the tube? Not very likely
since the
losses are small, 5 kW is a lot of power and it would heat the room
perceptibly."
It would heat the area around the e-cat, and people who have observed
the tests tell me that it does. However it would not heat the room if
the thermostat is nearby the reactor. On the contrary, it would cool
down the rest of the room, in winter with central heating or in summer
with central air.
It is a big room and I doubt that 5 kW would make much difference. That
would be the equivalent of 3 U.S. electric room heaters. There are large
offices with more heaters than that under people's desks. I have one
myself. That's probably a violation of fire laws but anyway, they do not
make the offices warm. Also, the aggregate office equipment and lighting
in a large office or grocery store consumes a lot more than 5 kW but
those places are not noticeably hot.
Anyway, Ekstrom is wrong. Most of the heat is going down the drain, as
steam or hot water.
