Right. There is more than one form of energy input here. So there is some
chemical energy, which means a catalyst of some sort that will need
replacing at certain intervals. Unfortunately, they're keeping the catalyst
"closed source", so it's impossible to determine if this "fantastic" new
heater that "puts out more energy than it takes in" is actually cost
effective, but judging by the wording in the press release (the "we don't
even know how it works" line really gets me), this is going to be more hype
than breakthrough.

... hope I'm wrong.
