I recently contacted DECC (UK equivalent of DoE) to get their view on what they thought about the ecat, and to see if they had even heard of it. I got quite an interesting reply. Trigger for "further action" is an interesting phrase.
"DECC
is aware of this alleged power source: the DECC CSA, David MacKay FRS,
has read some of the literature and has met Sven Kulander, who has
reviewed an experiment and whose report is on the Defkalion website. The
CSA's judgment is that it is appropriate for DECC to maintain a watch
on this sector, with the key trigger for further action being the
publication of the work in a reputable peer-refereed journal, including
full details so that academic scientists can replicate the results."
Yours
