This is bogus. Without revealing the nature of the "fuel" it is impossible to even say that it is an energy source. The electrically heated coil could just be releasing the binding energy in the "fuel". Even the 10X results of this "experiment" support this view as the most likely explanation, Occam's razor and all that. Barring full disclosure of the nature of the fuel and how it is made this should be dismissed as a con.
- qbrass 13y agoI'll just assume it works like a catalytic converter in a car, and needs to be brought up to a certain temperature before the reaction can occur. The secret ingredients could be the same metals used in automotive converters, the actual fuel could be anything that would be combusted in that process. The energy density claims are based on the assumption that the spent fuel leaves the center cylinder, which is probably untrue. The weight change could simply be due to leakage. Of course that's all just speculation. At least I didn't suggest transmutation of elements like the article did.
