One problem with small units is the localization of the heat. A modest sized home is much more comfortable with a central heating or cooling system that uses air ducts to transport the heat throughout the house. Is this not the most common type of system used in the developed world or am I biased? I think of Home Depot as being mainly within the western world and not the developing countries.
I can see great opportunities for the type of products that you mention in areas that are not subjected to the regulations that protect consumers. Maybe these regions will offer the lead toward universal applications of ECAT type units.

With proper engineering it will be afer than an air conditioner with inverter and heat pump function ven simpler than a pellet stove. Those things are all sold over the ounter. mic 012/1/3 David Roberson <dlrober...@aol.com>: I agree with your assessment. Products such as the ECAT will not be sold over the counter in Home Depot. Right now you can not buy heat pumps there as the government requires certified installers due to the dangers involved. There are few customers capable of making the connections required to operate an ECAT, and I am confident that an experienced HVAC company will be necessary.

It overlooks the choke point surrounding certifications - You just know big oil is going to leverage this to thwart cold fusion so it is far more likely that any residential product will first be distributed in 3rd world and pirate nations. The economic advantage gained by these uncertified units is what will force acceptance of the product or risk losing our standard of living to the early adopters.

Wow, this would be great news if confirmed, although when Rossi names specific companies he is usually honest, so there's not much reason to doubt this could be true. Cheers, S.A.
