Most people have heard of conventional nuclear power that is based on nuclear fission. These types of power plants produce energy in the form of heat (along with radioactive waste and massive amounts of radiation), by splitting atoms of certain isotopes of radioactive materials. The elements uranium and plutonium are both used in nuclear fission based reactors.
A "hot" nuclear fusion reaction is fundamentally different than a fission reaction. In a conventional nuclear fusion reaction, two atoms come together, merge, and a new atom is produced. For this to take place, high temperatures of millions of degrees are required. The result is also a large release of energy, but there can be similar drawbacks in that nuclear waste can be produced, and large quantities of radiation are emitted. Additionally, no one has been able to build a practical "hot fusion" reactor that produces a stable output of energy that is greater than the input required. There are teams working on building such hot fusion reactors, but the cost to do so is in the billions of dollars.
Cold fusion technology is a completely different type of nuclear reaction. It produces a large quantity of energy, but does so without the drawbacks of fission and hot fusion. Some of the benefits of cold fusion include the facts that it does not utilize radioactive materials as fuel or for any other purpose, does not produce nuclear waste, and only emits low levels of radiation that can be easily shielded. What is also very important is that cold fusion technology is ready to be used by industry. Billions of dollars are not needed to produce a practical, working cold fusion system. The E-Cat technology is ready for the market place now.
The E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer) is the only cold fusion technology that is ready to be put to use, for the betterment of our species. Unlike some other forms of cold fusion that require expensive fuels (such as platinum or deuterium), the E-Cat only uses ordinary nickel and hydrogen as fuel. Also, since such small amounts of fuel are required, if all the energy produced on the planet was generated by the E-Cat technology, only 1% of the world's yearly production of nickel would be consumed.
To give you an idea of the potential of the E-Cat technology, a reactor core with a volume of 50 cubic centimeters (about the size of a D-Cell battery), can produce a maximum safe output of 10 kilowatts. This same device would consume only a few grams of nickel over six months, and only require about one gram of hydrogen per day. In this system, one gram of nickel can produce the same amount of energy as barrels of oil.
The E-Cat technology holds the potential to change our world. Once widely proliferated, it could allow for a massive drop in the cost of energy, to a fraction of its current price. It also allows for the possibility of the elimination of the power grid (due to small systems being able to provide all the energy needs of a home), a reduction of pollution due to reduced fossil fuel usage, and a better world.

1 (One) Megawatt E-Cat Plant
(Available)
 The one megawatt E-Cat plant is currently available for sale to qualified customers, who represent commercial or industrial interests. While being capable of fitting inside of a standard shipping container, it can produce up to one megawatt of power
in the form of hot water, or low temperature steam. It is composed of
around hundred individual modules, each containing three reactor cores. This game-changing, energy-producing plant consumes no radioactive materials, produces no nuclear waste, emits no pollution, and incorporates numerous safety features. By consuming only small quantities of cheap fuel -- nickel powder and hydrogen gas -- it has earned the reputation of being both economically attractive, and the ultimate "green" machine.

5 Kilowatt Home Heating E-Cat

5 kW E-Cat concept image |
The five kilowatt E-Cat is still in research and development phase. Upon
completion (2013), it will be offered for sale to the general public. The unit will provide a constant yet adjustable output of up to five kilowatts of heat (in the form of hot water). This large quantity of output is produced with only a very small consumption of electrical power. Like the one megawatt plant, it utilizes no radioactive materials, produces no radioactive waste, emits no radiation into the environment, and releases no pollution. The multiple built in safety features and the inherent nature of the E-Cat technology, make this system an attractive heating solution for homes or small businesses.
