The thing about the E-CAT (Energy-CATalyst) is that the reactive mixture is heated with biphasic electricity. Each end electrode is wired to its own breaker. Normally, this kind of juice produces heat, and that's more efficient than a single waveform from the grid. However, other, more exotic effects can also occur in the presence of this energy, when additional elements are added to the situation. This can include a string of varying, pulse forming potentials, or even nonlocal connection pathways leading to reaction centers.
Experimenting with this power source requires using the manufactured Nickle isotope which does not occur in nature. But I consider stimulated nuclear reactions to be a legitimate field. Particularly so with high potential, high frequency energy - 180 kHz at 4 to15 kV.
And I don't see any reason to limit the output to heat. A nuclear reaction will put off a magnetic wave, if it can. That is to say if it's surrounded by a resonant tank circuit's coil. (Resonance relative to the Mev value). Without a receiver, the magnetic pulse will not occur, and the reaction will instead spit out a kinetic particle, and THEN all you'll get is heat.
