4. Price of the Home Ecat is down to 500$
5. Ecat is thought for heating the home, not for heating the water for
showering etc.
6. Refueling the Ecat is done by replacing a cartridge. This cartridge
will cost around 10$ and will then be sent back to a factory where it
will be recycled.

These prices are just plain silly.
He's going to manufacture furnaces for the home for $500 each.
Sure he is, like I really believe that...
The heat-generating mechanism in this thing is certainly at least as
complex (and expensive to manufacture) as a simple gas burner (which is
just a few parallel pipes with holes drilled in them). So, the eCat
home furnace should be at least as expensive as a natural gas fired furnace.
And you sure can't buy a gas furnace for $500, any more than you can buy
a replacement printer cartridge for $10.
(Maybe he's using some funny kind of dollars for his price quotes?)
