Repeat from earlier in this thread: http://faq.ecat.com/112449/how-much-nickel-and-hydrogen-will-it-take-to-generate-one-megawatt-of-heat-continuously-for-six-months/ 1MW needs 10kg Nickel powder, so about 100g per ecat (will run for 6 months) + 1g of hydrogen per ecat per day (in reality far less than this is used, but there will be leakage etc).
