On October 6 the eCat ran for 4 hours without input. Even if it needs periodic control with some sort of on-off duty cycle, I am sure that the ratio will soon be better than 1:6 input:output. The technology has barely begun. It is ridiculous to conclude that it has reached the limits, and it will not improve beyond 1:6. That is like looking at Trevithick's steam locomotive "Catch me who can" (1808) and concluding that railroads will never run faster then 18 km/h. - Jed
