While Ford's headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, is reasonable speculation to make (under the circumstances) I find myself grappling with what kind of a USA company or industry would have the most to gain in attempting to exploit Rossi's eCat technology. I'm not convinced that ECat technology, in its presumed current prototype incarnation, would be of much use to the auto industry like Ford, or any auto company for that matter. It's my understanding that eCat technology at present can only generate excess heat in an efficient manner. Said differently, the technology to convert excess heat in an efficient manner into electricity so that it can ultimately power an automobile's drive shaft does not strike me as being quite "prime time" - not quite yet. If someone would like to disagree with my premise, by all means please explain why they might think it would work. At present, I'm more inclined to speculate that a hi-tech company like Google would better stand to benefit more immediately, and in a more direct manner. Large 1 MW structures would (I presume) be large enough to efficiently incorporate the necessary engineering to convert generated excess heat into electricity. Also, while I don't quite understand the underlying technology involved, it is my understanding that the excess heat can be used to produce a significant amount of refrigeration efficiently. It is, in fact old technology - something I suspect Rossi might have acquired some experience in managing during his checkered career. When I weigh both of these factors, the capacity to generate a significant amount of cooling combined with bulk electricity, and perhaps simultaneously at that, it makes more sense for me to speculate that a company like Google would be best poised in incorporating Rossi eCat technology. Seems to me that incorporating a series of 1 MW thermal generators ought to help reduce Google's cooling and electricity bills. They have a huge collection of power hungry servers that need constant care and feeding. My two cents Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
