Not so simple, what is a "definitive result"?
I take for comparison my BOSCH 3000W home heater.
I also don't say it doesn't work, but I have well founded doubts it
does not work well yet.
And the demonstration tests have eroded my confidence
both in the E-cats (3, 4 types?) and in their author.

I have a 10 kW earthgas tubeboiler. It heats my home and makes hot water.
When I use it to fill my bathtube it runs full power.
I never did this, but when I measure the cold water temperature and the
bathtube temperature then I can calculate the energy.
When I measure the cooling timeconstant, I can even calculate the
losses, but in this short time there are not much losses.
However, with a COP of 6 the ecat is probably not cheaper, because
electric energy is so expensive and will probably become much more
expensive in future. So I will probably not buy one, even, if it works.
