*A $1,500 total price of a E-Cat that includes a NI microprocessor based controls system is hard to believe. I project that the control system will be a major cost component of the E-Cat. Even computerized appliances like refrigerators sell for twice that. When I see that low price…when I can buy at that low price… I will believe it.*
