The '''Rossi Focardi Energy Amplifier''' (also ''E-Cat'' or just ''Rossi energy amplifier'') is allegedly a small fusion reactor assumed to be based on [[Cold Fusion]]. The Italian company EON&nbsp;srl claims to bring it to market in 2011. It is claimed to produce more than 10&nbsp;kW thermal energy while needing just a couple of 100 Watts of electrical energy to power it.
