A couple of things to be aware of.
1. Patents that deal with producing excess energy (over-unity) (and also anti-gravity) are actually not that uncommon. There have been quite a few LENR related patents granted over the last 30 years.
2. For a heat producing over-unity device to be realistically useful it has to produce at least 3x as much energy as it consumes due to losses in the absorption and conversion process. 3x is break even.
3. For the energy industry to take interest and further develop a device, it has to at least scale to a COP of about 9-10... 3x for the conversion loss, and another 3x for an acceptable ROI (costs to bring it to market are substantial: everything from R&D to safety issues to realigning from current tech, and 100 other things).
If my memory is correct, the E-cat started with a claimed COP of 30x-100x, after a few years it was reduced to 10x-20x, and now it's reported at 3x-6x. It could go further down.
