Interesting point Eric. The materials needed to build an ECAT are in enormous quantities within the Earth. A small reaction here, another there, and so on can add up to a tremendous effect when considering the entire world. To obtain a calibration, I have read that the rate of fusion energy be

Bob, how would we explain the appearance of the ash material that was extracted from the tube? According to the testers the device can operate at higher powers than they experienced which would certainly lead to complete melting of the nickel. What are the chances that some of the other mater
