Hmm, I just notice a mistake here (in GoatGuy's post he did 1.03g/s *
12.7 m/s = 13.1N) : 1.03g/s * 12.7 m/s = 0.00103kg/s*12.7m/s= 0.0131N.
You forgot to convert to SI, which is based on kg, not on grams.
What did I tell you?! Always include the units. That's what I learned in
4th grade. Remember how NASA crashed the damn rocket into Mars by using
the wrong units.
Rule 2: always use SI.
As far as the current is ok, but if it is nuclear, it is useless as an
energy source if just by the vapor blow. 2500Watts are just converted
to around 2*10^(-3)*(15 ^2)/2=0.225W. So, you'd need more than 1000
e-cats to feed 1 e-cat.
WHY would anyone use it as an energy source, using the force of the
vapor after it comes out of a 3 m rubber hose at 1 atm?!? Maybe I
misunderstand this comment, but if you mean you would use the vapor to
push something like a turbine, that would be insane. That would be like
using a 1 GW nuclear reactor to make steam in Washington DC, and then
transporting the steam to Baltimore MD 63 km away to run a generator.
The thing produces ~2 kW of heat. If you want to use that as a
mechanical energy source, you make steam at high pressure, and you run a
small steam turbine, placed right next to the boiler. Or you use a
thermoelectric chip.
Actually, for a practical home generator you need about ~20 kW of raw heat.
Look at the length of the hose and the size of the orifice in this 1.9
kW steam heater used to clean automobile interiors. Look at steam as it
comes out. It is not hard to imagine this is how the steam from the eCat
would look if you used a short hose and a small orifice:

By the way, I said you don't want more than ~2 kW of steam in a car
because you start melting plastic and stuff and destroying the interior.
Oops. Been there. Done that.
