The current technology could easily provide large scale production of hot water for residential, commercial and industrial hot water at a capital and operating cost far lower than fossil fuel, nuclear and other LENR-based technologies.
And this is already happening. There are working water heating devices.

Here's a quote to consider:
Quote from "Fast Freddy"
Basically the water is pumped into the pressure vessel when the internal float switch is closed. The PWM is used to produce and electrical pulse which is tuned to the resonant frequency of the inner electrodes. This vibrates the water trapped between the outer and inner tubes. The outer tube is charged positive and is tuned exactly 180 degrees out of phase with the inner tube. The vibration wave is propelled by the positive charge towards the outer tubes just to be attenuated by the outer tube tuning.

The excited water molecules 2(H2O) now only require a fraction of the amperage to be converted into (2H2 + O2). Also experimentation of harmonic frequencies have produced interesting results, sometimes exceeding HHO production of the tubes at resonance. The vessel has a large inner and outer tube which is tuned 4 octaves lower than the outer tubes and has a clearance between the tubes of only 1mm. This tube produces the most heat and HHO. The smaller outer tubes have a 2mm clearance and run cooler and take less amperage and are mounted around the large tube assembly. The epoxy used to seal the bottom inside of the vessel and bottom of the electrical enclosure is laced with ferrous oxide dust 10% by weight which creates an capacitor which smoothes out the square wave pattern to a sine wave pattern which helps the transition between off and on for the PWM. Experimentation with an air coil after the mosfet drivers and before the load also resulted in an increase of efficiency.

The HHO is then pressurized to 60 PSI within the vessel, and regulated by the pressure switch which cycles the PWM as needed and the under the hood pressure regulator and dryer assembly. The HHO then travels through a check valve to an injection tee. The fuel line from the rail originally is connected to the tee before a metering valve and spring loaded valve. When accelerating hard, towing, or driving up extended grades the HHO production is not sufficient to power the vehicle alone, so when the HHO pressure dips below 55 PSI the spring loaded valve opens to let a small amount of stratified HC into the injection rail. Being stratified by the large flow of HHO allows a very small amount of HC to be burnt almost 100% and fill in for the HHO vessel until the load demand ends, and the vessel regains over 55PSI of pressure. Also if you have an HHO system fault, this allows you to continue driving until you can repair it.
So if Fast Freddy is for real and he has done enough videos to "make up your own damn mind", he did it using cavitation as that extra power source needed to split water using less energy than the Faraday minimum.

Some of this, some of that; maybe some day we'll reproduce the secret sauce.

Now this is cool stuff guys.  Fusion reactions caused by simple water cavitation.  I don't suppose anyone has actually tried this, but it may well be worth looking into:

https://nanospireinc.com/Fusion.html

http://www.rexresearch.com/leclair/leclair.htm

It explains a lot of OU phenomena that have up until now been left for you own imagination as to the inner workings of it.
Very interesting material. Thanks for posting!

However, note the following:
Quote
Mark LeClair and Serge Lebid discovered that the scaled-up LeClair Effect reactor was triggering intense fusion, fission and large scale elemental transmutation using ordinary water. The 1.25” ID by 12” long reactor produced 2.9 kW of hot water using only 840 watts of input, a coefficient of performance (COP) of 3.4 times more energy out than in. The water temperature was raised an average of 18 degrees C (32 degrees F) average passing through the reactor with 28 degree C (50 degrees F) temperature spikes observed.
However, Meyer obtained a COP of about 30:

http://www.tuks.nl/pdf/Patents/Meyer/WFCreport.pdf
(page 68 in pdf)

There are other numbers in the pdf which mention an even higher COP, even up to 300.

So, it appears Meyer's process without fusion and the like is much more efficient if our goal is to build a free energy infrastructure...

The problem is "companies". People trust companies as the authority of truth. If no company was around and people were selling something to locals, people would not trust them due to being a company but treat them like any other person and ask for proof of how it works. The person will explain it to the point the other understand it and buys it and makes his own without the silly patent or copyright which hinders innovation but would enhance the original owners idea which would later benefit the community and in turn the original inventor. and that does not just go for his design but others design which things would progress faster. All these inventors are delusional to think they will get rich.

No matter if its free energy, better health, better economy, etc the thing comes down to how people as a whole act. Even to have a chance to get free energy will not change peoples hearts and minds to do what is right it seems.

Show people the car that you only fill up with tap water for fuel and I guarantee you they will line up to buy it, the tinkerers would be thrilled to try building one for themselves and the fossile based fuel industry would put out a contract on you.
Perhaps not necessarily in that order though.

The presentation today at GlobalBEM by Mark was absolutely outstanding and is a complete game changer.  When I get the URL for the slide deck, you'll see it posted here.

Here is a Electrolysis Cavitation Device I designed after Seeing the Above Video.
This project was started 7 years ago and set aside when the machinist I had do the work Screwed it Up. Tolerances were terrible. But here is the design and Ideas that I had Then, I still think its a great Idea. I Now have my own mill and lathe so there is no excuse to not finish it. Other than I am out of work and have no money for the LED's. These are the parts I have had built. The rest is left to do.

The Idea behind the LED's is to add more energy to the Gas Like Stan did.

The frequency of the Light excitation is 410nm, 434nm, Ultra Violet and  486nm, Blue Green, and  656nm Red.  These LED,s are readily available.
Well Close to these Light frequencies. See the Hydrogen Spectrum Picture.
Four rows of LED's with the above Frequencies. When Hydrogen Burns It gives off these frequencies of light so it makes sense that this frequency of light could reverse the process and help separate the water into gas. I also planned to use a VIC Circuit to provide voltage across the inner rotor and outer Stainless cavity with the LED,s This required the End Plates to be Plexi Glass insulators.
I need to finish this project.
What do you all think. :D:P
Below are pictures of the parts I designed and Built.
Here I am giving away all my good ideas again.

Can't wait Matt :P:P:P:P.
As promised.
Ya after reading the download, I might have to think twice about this one, if what they say is true, a person could build just about anything. :cool::D:P

Are you going to test your cavitation device for radiation? I contacted the inventor's company from the original youtube video forwarding them recent accounts of cavitation radiation, and I got an email tonight saying "I've seen the same articles.  We see no evidence of nuclear style radiation." The sender of that email is Doug Mancosky, Vice President of Research and Development at Hydrodynamics, dmancosky@hydrodynamics.com See my article (and update) about Dog-One's recent account of Cavitation Radiation: http://pieeconomics.blogspot.com/p/cavitation-radiation.html Perhaps Dog-One and Doug Mancosky should compare notes.

I believe that molten fluoride salts can replace water in the LeClair reaction. During the development of the molten salt reactor, it was found that the erosion rate on the impellers of the molten salt pumps during cavatation were ten times the erosion rate using water.

The temperature of the molten fluoride salts are in the 500C to 700C range, high enough to provide good thermodynamic efficiency in power generation.

These types of molten salts are ionic liquid and dielectric.  It will support cavatation just great.

The molten salts will vaporize in the low pressure phase of the cavatation bubble formation process. The fluorides in the salts will support the formation of many transition metal fluoride compounds except nickel which is impervious to fluoride corrosion.

A number of secret sauce candidate elements: lithium and potassium can be used in the molten salt eutectic.

Nickel micro and Nano powders might increase the LENR reaction rates and associated heat production.

The big advantage of the higher operating temperatures over the curie temperatures of nickel enabled by the molten salts is the possible elimination of radiation production that cold water temperatures might cause in water cavitation
