Sam and Adrian,
The problem with this is again... only "Rossi says".
You must note however, that Rossi has said the EXACT same thing about previous incarnations of the eCat. He has said he has built factories, he has improved control, he has improved capacity, he has improved industrialization, he has customers, he has partners, he has ......
and yet he HAS dropped every incarnation of the eCat to move onto the next. Without ever once producing ANY verifiable product. Only "Rossi says".
Let me ask you this.... exactly what is it about the QX that made it so superior to the 1MW plant. The plant the Rossi stated was worth suing $89 millions dollars for? HE stated it ran for 340+ days at almost 1MW of heat!
What is it exactly that the new "SX" is supposed to be SO much improved from the QX or the 1MW plant, or the Hot Cat, or the Gas Cat, etc. etc.
As had been fore told here before. Rossi would supplant the Quark with next version BEFORE his time ran out! There was even a naming "contest" of what the next eCat would be named!
Yes, Henry Ford did not build the model T because the customers wanted to wait for the Tesla Model S. ????
Piston powered airplanes were not built because customers wanted to wait for supersonic jet aircraft????
Main Frame computers were not built because customers wanted to wait for IPAD tablets??
Tube Radios were not built because customers wanted to wait for transistors?
The list goes on and on.
The eCat is not being built because it does not work!
Remember ROSSI himself stated he was heating his "factory" / building in Italy years ago with an eCat! That is was working fine.
Yet not a single simple heater has been sold! Really?
