    Dr Rossi,
    There are around voices that you signed a global agreement for manufacturing and selling the Ecats. Are these fake news or there is scent of true in these voices ?

  2. Svein

    Dear Andrea
    You answer Italo R December 12: surely eventually the price will decrease with a worldwide spread diffusion.
    I have the following questions:
    Q1: Does this mean that you will allow more manufacturers to compete against each other on a worldwide basis?
    Q2: Are you currently in negotiations with several such possible competitors?
    Q3: Will production be able to be carried out close to 100% automated so that local production costs become negligible?
    Q4: Are the prices that you have set an economic challenge for any producers?
    Q5: Is this the reason why the negotiations are taking time?
    Q6: Is your patent protection so secure that opportunities for copying do not exist?
    Q7: Will a production agreement be in place by 2025?

  3. Andrea Rossi

    Svein:
    Q1,Q2: no
    Q3: yes
    Q4: no
    Q5: n.a.
    Q6: nobody can say this of any existing patent
    Q7: I hope so

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    As a (retired) Engineer, I attempt to see the “problems” with a proposed system.

    For an eCat NGU unit(s) inputting power into the normally PV input of a solar inverter, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) could be a problem.

    The solar inverter automatically adjusts the input characteristics presented to a PV source (e.g., a string of PV panels) to try to obtain and operate at the Maximum Power Point.

    The eCat NGU, as I understand it, has a maximum power point and can handle up to a 5% over-current condition before automatically shutting off.

    Some of the different MPPT implementations are: Perturb and Observe; Incremental Conductance; Current Sweep, Constant Voltage; and Temperature Method. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_point_tracking.

    Perhaps the software in the solar inverter can turn off the MPPT function?

    I am suggesting using one (or more) eCat NGU units in an array that would in series produce a voltage which is above the solar inverter’s turn-on voltage but less than the lowest voltage for MPPT.

    For example, if the turn-on voltage was 100VDC and the start of MPPT was at 120VDC, then 9 each 100W NGU units would produce 108VDC @ 8.33 AMPs (900W). An inverter with 2 PV inputs each capable of handling 15Amps and with one such array of each input would combined generate 1.8kW. The energy per day would be about 43kW-hrs. Coupled with a battery, it could accommodate the peak demands.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks for the information and suggestions.
    I had estimated a total cost of about 12,000 euros considering 7,500 US$ for the generator plus 22% VAT plus shipping, plus DC/AC inverter plus installation. The real cost would probably be even more than 12,000 euros

    Italo R.

  7. Gian Luca

    To Italo R.

    sorry but I can’t understand where that – 3Kw=12,000€ comes from. If you buy a 3Kw NGU your expense is 7,500€. Am I wrong?
    If you already have a PV system you can use the same inverter (I imagine hybrid) replacing a string with an NGU. If instead you need to buy an inverter for powers of 3-4Kw you spend nowadays around 1500€ to which you need to add a storage (perhaps NaCl and zeolite from Horien) for an expense of 3,000€ to make up for the peaks. This brings you to the figure of 12,000€.
    Right?

    @ Gavino Mamia, Norman:

    Real numbers read from my electric bills over 12 months:
    Total paid: €1887 (all inclusive, including fixed costs, charges, etc.)

    Energy consumed: 6448 kWh
    Cost per kWh: 1887 / 6448 = €0.29/kWh

    My meter is set to 3.5 kW. If I try to draw more, the circuit breaker trips. Therefore, my peak consumption is around 3 kW for all my household appliances, with an estimated average consumption of around 2 kW throughout the day.

    If I were to replace this energy using a 3 kW E-Cat with an estimated total cost of €12,000, I would recoup this investment after 12000 / 1887 = approximately 6.4 years, which is still a number that is too high.

    Of course, these are calculations based on current prices and costs.

    It is true that in the future the cost of electricity might rise, and the cost of the E-Cat might decrease.

    But to analyze today the economic convenience of using an E-Cat, I must use today’s numbers, not future ones (what will they be?).

    Naturally, ecological considerations should also be taken into account.

    The E-Cat does not pollute, does not use any kind of fuel, and is truly green.

    Meanwhile, we know how polluting it is to produce energy with current systems.

    However, all these considerations are beyond my hypothesis of using an E-Cat TODAY.

    Best Regards,

    Italo R.

    To Italo R:

    A more cost-effective system?

    1. Reduce your 3.5 kW grid contract to 2 kW if possible.
    2. Order 4 pcs customized NGU generator (48V/400W).
    3. Connect the generators to a QT2 microinverter from APSystems.
    4. Sell back the excess power production to grid.

    Italo R.
    Secondo me i tuoi calcoli non sono esatti perché non prendi in considerazione i costi fissi delle bollette in Italia.
    Nella bolletta bimestrale (prima casa) vi sono tante voci che sono vere e proprie tasse: trasporto energia, oreri di sistema, canore Rai ecc.
    Confrontando il tuo costo col mio deduco che consumi circa 3000 KW all’anno.
    L’E-Cat da 3 KW produce 72 KW al giorno, cioè oltre 26.000 KW in un anno, cioè produce in un solo anno quasi il tuo fabbisogno di dieci anni.
    Quindi il tuo problema non sono i KW consumati ma il picco dei KW necessari durante la giornata.
    Secondo me, le alternative sono due:
    1) vendere al gestore i KW in eccesso
    2) dotarsi di un sistema di accumulo per gestire i picchi consumo.
    TRANSLATE
    In my opinion your calculations are not accurate because you do not consider the fixed costs of bills in Italy.
    In the bimonthly bill (first home) there are many items that are real taxes: energy transport, system taxes, Rai song, etc.
    Comparing your cost with mine I deduce that it consumes about 3000 KW per year.
    The 3 KW E-Cat produces 72 KW per day, that is over 26,000 KW in a year, that is it produces in a single year almost your needs for ten years.
    So your problem is not the KW consumed but the peak of KW needed during the day.
    In my opinion the solutions are:
    1) sell the excess KW to the manager
    2) equip yourself with a storage system to manage consumption peaks.

  11. Norman

    @Italo R
    Your analysis is shortviewed; the prices of energy are continuing to raise, the Ecat will make free from bills; besides, the bills I am paying per kWh are much higher. Not to mention the ecological issues of this planet.
    Best,
    Norman Korie

  12. Italo R.

    Dr. Rossi,
    In Italy, I have a domestic electricity supply contract with a maximum available power of 3.5 kW.

    With my consumption, I am paying an average bimonthly bill of about 250 euros, which amounts to approximately 1500 euros per year.

    If I were to purchase a 3 kW E-Cat generator to replace the current grid supply, I would need to spend over 12,000 euros in total (that is, $7,500 for the generator, plus taxes, shipping, DC/AC inverter, and installation).

    This means that I would only recoup that expense after 12,000/1,500, which is about 8 years. Definitely too long.

    Dr. Rossi has previously stated that the selling price would be so low that it would be uneconomical for any competitor to attempt reverse engineering and subsequent competition.

    However, I realize that at least at this stage, the actual price must take into account current economies of scale to avoid losses.

    I fear that this fact will limit the widespread adoption of this technology in the early stages.

    It is likely that in the future prices will decrease due to increasing demand and production. However, widespread diffusion can only occur with prices that are decidedly “popular.”

    Kind Regards,
    Italo R.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    For NGU Power Generators (Power Rating of: 1K, 2K, or 3K) operating with a 12VDC output voltage would generate currents of: 83.3A; 166.7A; and 250A, respectively, when run at fully rated power levels.

    So, let me rephrase the previous question.

    1. For each of the NGU Power Generators, is there a maximum current limit, or is the maximum current limited by the Power Rating (e.g., 2kW) divided by the specified output Voltage?
    2. When the NGU Power Generator is delivered, is the output connector and/or cabling individually sized to accommodate the maximum current at the Power Rating and output Voltage? For example, a 1kW outputting 12VDC and can handle 83.3 Amps or a 1kW operating at 120VDC and capable of handling 8.33 Amps.

  17. Andrea Rossi

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    1. the maximum current is limited by the power of the Ecat
    2. yes

  18. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    For the NGU 10W Power Cell:
    1. Is the nominal output voltage 12V +/- 5%?
    2. At full load, is the nominal current 0.833 Amps +/- 5%?

    For the 100W Basic Generator:
    3. Is the nominal output voltage 12V +/- 5%?
    4. At full load, is the nominal current 8.33 Amps +/- 5%?

    For the NGU 1K Power Generator
    5. What is the nominal minimum output voltage that can be specified when ordering?
    6. What is the nominal maximum output voltage that can be specified when ordering?

  19. Andrea Rossi

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    1. the maximum current is limited by the power of the Ecat
    2. yes

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Thank you for your response to my questions. They are formulated around understanding the conditions for achieving the reactor life expectancy of 100k hours.

    Q5 is a chicken and egg question, the transition from OFF to ON, from an ecat in storage or in transit to it being put into active service, or that initial life giving spark, ala Dr Frankenstein gives his monster a jolt from the electrode  🙂  The ecat must firstly/already be activated and electronics powered even to begin harvesting ZPE and only then can the ecat be ZPE self powered.

    5) When set to ON initial activation energy is required. a) the user briefly applies external power?

    b) an internal battery supplies the power?

    Perhaps I should add another option

    c) the ecat has such a high Q (sharply in resonance with the ZPE field) that it will spring into life simply by closing the switch?

    Thank You

  21. Andrea Rossi

    Steve D:
    The user turns on the Ecat and the load either is already connected, or it is connected eventually, doesn’t make any difference.
    How it works is confidential so far.

  26. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    The revised datasheet suggests units that can produce: 10W; 100W; 1kW; 2kW; and 3kW dc electrical output.

    Given the law that Voltage times Amperage = power AND

    also output wires have a limited current carrying capacity for safe operation,

    can describe the range of output voltages for each of the aforementioned products?

    In the UK, equipment such as the SKLep requires MCS certification before it can be fitted in a customer’s property by a qualified electrician. The most likely description of a SKLep falls under the ‘Electricity-led micro-cogeneration package’ category. Without a MCS certificate, no MCS qualified installer will install one. The associated inverter also needs its own certification but many are approved for use with Solar PV panels. May I request that you obtain certification before I am invited to buy the SKLeps that I have ordered?

    The way into certification is described at the following URL.
    https://mcscertified.com/faq/installer-and-manufacturer-faqs/

    How can I gain MCS certification for my product range?

    Product Manufacturers can gain MCS certification for products if they fall within the scope of the Scheme. You should check that your product(s) meets the relevant Product Standard – these are available in our Standards and Tool Library.

    To gain certification, your product(s) are assessed by a Certification Body to ensure that your product(s) meet the technical product standard and that your production environment and processes meet MCS requirements. You will also need to provide product testing results for assessment.

    Once your product is certified, it will be uploaded into our Product Directory and the product information will be made available to MCS certified Installers as well as consumers.

    Paul Dodgshun:
    The Ecat has its certification necessary for its purposes. We are not responsible for the certifications of connected devices; you must make connections with the assistance of specifically certified contractors.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    We now know definitively there is an ON/OFF switch 

    1) When set to ON the reactor ages for both conditions that a load is present or not?

    2) When set to ON the reactor aging rate is the same for max load and no load

    3) When set to OFF is the reactor active and ageing?

    4) When set to OFF does it anytime momentarily self switch ON

    5) When set to ON initial activation energy is required. a) the user briefly applies external power?

    b) an internal battery supplies the power?

    Thank You

  31. Andrea Rossi

    Steve D:
    1- no load, no energy
    2- the energy supplied depends on the energy demanded by the load
    3- no

    Dr. Rossi,
    here is a generator made specifically for Campers, and it is widely used:
    https://www.dometic.com/it-it/professional/soluzioni-per-camion/energia-e-illuminazione/dometic-tec-29-lpg-74777?v=9102900299
    even if it is quite silent it cannot be used during stops in public parking lots because it emits polluting fumes, exactly like the exhaust of the Camper engine which is forbidden to keep on during stops.
    The 2KW one costs more or less the same as a 2KW E-Cat, but it consumes 1 liter per hour.
    Needless to say that in the world of Campers the E-Cat would be a miracle.
    I hope to receive news of the start of production as a Christmas present.
    Good work

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    1. Is it true that on all NGU components, there is a manually operated On/Off switch?
    2. That the NGU components are delivered with the On/Off switch in the Off position (during shipment)?
    3. And that the User activates the NGU component by manually turning the On/Off switch to the On position for operation?
    4. That the User, when shipping the NGU component, must manually turn the On/Off switch to the Off position prior to shipment?

    Dear Andrea
    The E-Cat is a device that only may have any significance if it is mass-produced.
    Advancing more ideas for applications does not seem necessary.

    There must be at least 50 existing large global industrial groups that could quickly and easily secure their place among the 10 globally most valuable companies, if they gained A: confidence in the invention and B:an attractive license for production.

    The necessary materials for mass production do not seem to be a problem.
    E-Cat would probably be considered a “blessing” by at least 90% of the world’s population.

    If one of these two mentioned conditions A or B is missing, there will hardly be any products on the market.
    What is today the main problem that prevents production?

    To all JONP readers,

    Some may not familiar with BMS

    “A battery management system (BMS) is any electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack) by facilitating the safe usage and a long life of the battery in practical scenarios while monitoring and estimating its various states (such as state of health and state of charge),[1] calculating secondary data, reporting that data, controlling its environment, authenticating or balancing it.[2] ” – Wikipedia

    “Monitor
    A BMS may monitor the state of the battery as represented by various items, such as:

    Voltage: total voltage, voltages of individual cells, or voltage of periodic taps[clarification needed]
    Temperature: average temperature, coolant intake temperature, coolant output temperature, or temperatures of individual cells
    Coolant flow: for liquid cooled batteries
    Current: current in or out of the battery
    Health of individual cells
    State of balance of cells

    Electric vehicle systems: energy recovery
    The BMS will also control the recharging of the battery by redirecting the recovered energy (i.e., from regenerative braking) back into the battery pack (typically composed of a number of battery modules, each composed of a number of cells).
    Battery thermal management systems can be either passive or active, and the cooling medium can either be air, liquid, or some form of phase change. Air cooling is advantageous in its simplicity. Such systems can be passive, relying only on the convection of the surrounding air, or active, using fans for airflow. Commercially, the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius both use active air cooling of their battery systems.[5] The major disadvantage of air cooling is its inefficiency. Large amounts of power must be used to operate the cooling mechanism, far more than active liquid cooling.[6] The additional components of the cooling mechanism also add weight to the BMS, reducing the efficiency of batteries used for transportation.

    Liquid cooling has a higher natural cooling potential than air cooling as liquid coolants tend to have higher thermal conductivities than air. The batteries can either be directly submerged in the coolant or the coolant can flow through the BMS without directly contacting the battery. Indirect cooling has the potential to create large thermal gradients across the BMS due to the increased length of the cooling channels. This can be reduced by pumping the coolant faster through the system, creating a tradeoff between pumping speed and thermal consistency.[6]

    Computation
    Additionally, a BMS may calculate values based on the items listed below, such as:[1][4]

    Voltage: minimum and maximum cell voltage
    State of charge (SoC) or depth of discharge (DoD), to indicate the charge level of the battery
    State of health (SoH), is a variously defined measurement of the remaining capacity of the battery as a fraction of the original capacity
    State of power (SoP), is the amount of power available for a defined time interval given the current power usage, temperature and other conditions
    State of Safety (SOS)
    Maximum charge current as a charge current limit(CCL)
    Maximum discharge current as a discharge current limit (DCL)
    Energy delivered since last charge or charge cycle
    Internal impedance of a cell (to determine open circuit voltage)
    Charge delivered or stored (sometimes this feature is called coulomb counting)
    Total operating time since first use
    Total number of cycles
    Temperature monitoring
    Coolant flow for air or liquid cooled batteries

    Communication
    The central controller of a BMS communicates internally with its hardware operating at a cell level, or externally with high level hardware such as laptops or an HMI.[clarification needed]

    High level external communication is simple and uses several methods:[citation needed]

    Different types of serial communications.
    CAN bus communications, are commonly used in automotive environments.
    Different types of wireless communications.[7]
    Low-voltage centralized BMSes mostly do not have any internal communications.

    Distributed or modular BMSes must use some low-level internal cell–controller (modular architecture) or controller–controller (distributed architecture) communication. These types of communications are difficult, especially for high-voltage systems. The problem is the voltage shift between cells. The first cell ground signal may be hundreds of volts higher than the other cell ground signal. Apart from software protocols, there are two known ways of hardware communication for voltage shifting systems, optical-isolator and wireless communication. Another restriction for internal communications is the maximum number of cells. For modular architecture, most hardware is limited to a maximum of 255 nodes. For high-voltage systems the seeking time of all cells is another restriction, limiting minimum bus speeds and losing some hardware options. The cost of modular systems is important, because it may be comparable to the cell price.[8] Combination of hardware and software restrictions results in a few options for internal communication:

    Isolated serial communications
    Wireless serial communications
    To bypass power limitations of existing USB cables due to heat from electric current, communication protocols implemented in mobile phone chargers for negotiating an elevated voltage have been developed, the most widely used of which are Qualcomm Quick Charge and MediaTek Pump Express. “VOOC” by Oppo (also branded as “Dash Charge” with “OnePlus”) increases the current instead of voltage with the aim to reduce heat produced in the device from internally converting an elevated voltage down to the battery’s terminal charging voltage, which however makes it incompatible with existing USB cables and relies on special high-current USB cables with accordingly thicker copper wires. More recently, the USB Power Delivery standard aims for a universal negotiation protocol across devices of up to 240 watts.[9]

    Protection

    BMS main controller
    A BMS may protect its battery by preventing it from operating outside its safe operating area, such as:[1][10]

    Over-charging
    Over-discharging
    Over-current during charging
    Over-current during discharging
    Over-voltage during charging, especially important for lead–acid, Li-ion, and LiFePO4 cells
    Under-voltage during discharging, especially important for Li-ion, and LiFePO4 cells
    Over-temperature
    Under-temperature
    Over-pressure (NiMH batteries)
    Ground fault or leakage current detection (system monitoring that the high voltage battery is electrically disconnected from any conductive object touchable to use like vehicle body)
    The BMS may prevent operation outside the battery’s safe operating area by:

    Including an internal switch (such as a relay or MOSFET) which is opened if the battery is operated outside its safe operating area
    Asking the devices to reduce or even stop using or charging the battery.
    Actively controlling the environment, such as through heaters, fans, air conditioning or liquid cooling
    Reduce processor speed to reduce heat.
    Battery connection to load circuit
    A BMS may also feature a precharge system allowing a safe way to connect the battery to different loads and eliminating the excessive inrush currents to load capacitors.

    The connection to loads is normally controlled through electromagnetic relays called contactors. The precharge circuit can be either power resistors connected in series with the loads until the capacitors are charged. Alternatively, a switched mode power supply connected in parallel to loads can be used to charge the voltage of the load circuit up to a level close enough to the battery voltage in to allow closing the contactors between the battery and load circuit. A BMS may have a circuit that can check whether a relay is already closed before recharging (due to welding for example) to prevent inrush currents from occurning.

    Balancing

    Distributed battery management system
    In order to maximize the battery’s capacity, and to prevent localized under-charging or over-charging, the BMS may actively ensure that all the cells that compose the battery are kept at the same voltage or State of Charge, through balancing. The BMS can balance the cells by:

    Dissipating energy from the most charged cells by connecting them to a load (such as through passive regulators)
    Shuffling energy from the most charged cells to the least charged cells (balancers)
    Reducing the charging current to a sufficiently low level that will not damage fully charged cells, while less charged cells may continue to charge (does not apply to Lithium chemistry cells)
    Some chargers accomplish the balance by charging each cell independently. This is often performed by the BMS and not the charger (which typically provides only the bulk charge current, and does not interact with the pack at the cell-group level), e.g., e-bike and hoverboard chargers. In this method, the BMS will request a lower charge current (such as EV batteries), or will shut-off the charging input (typical in portable electronics) through the use of transistor circuitry while balancing is in effect (to prevent over-charging cells).” – wikipedia

    Dr Rossi:

    Many people eagerly await the news of the beginning of your ecat distribution! You have shown it convincingly to work with the demonstration of Latina in September. There is no doubt it is a revolution in energy technology and so your contribution to mankind is immense.

    But for it to benefit people everywhere it must be available for use. If you still lack pre-orders, it is probably because of lack of knowledge about your Ecat. Your YT channel is still small, so preorders will be limited.

    Your product is something that everyone will want!! Media is silent about Ecat tech so few people know about it to place preorders. Word of mouth marketing works when people show and tell their own stories with products.

    My advice is, if you need more preorders. Find a small number of people you trust (maybe include Mr Marzocchi??), let them do some Ecat tests and let them post them online. These days video is essential communication method. More video, more preorders!

    Best of luck Dr Rossi!! We need your help.

    Dr. Rossi,

    Another price comparison data-point…

    Also from Bing “Typical per-watt cost of solar panels”:
    ————-
    The typical cost of solar panels per watt is between $0.70 and $5. The cost per watt is the price for each unit of energy the solar panel system can produce1. For example, if a 5-kW (5,000-watt) system costs $3 per watt, the system’s total cost is $15,000 (5,000 watts x $3 per watt)1. The cost of solar panels alone can range from 80 cents to $2.20 per watt.
    ————-

    The pertinent information is that the panels themselves (as opposed to the entire system) cost between $0.80 to $2.20 per Watt.

    Because Solar Panels are exposed to the Sun, at best, 25% of the day, these numbers need to be effectively de-rated to 4x that cost. I.e., $3.20 to $8.80 per Effective-Watt.

    In comparison, the ECat’s cost is $2.50 per Watt which:
    – Can run 24 hours per day
    – Doesn’t require expensive, rooftop installation
    – isn’t exposed to wind, snow and dust conditions and
    – doesn’t require periodic washing.

    From Bing search:
    ————
    As of November 2024, the national average electricity rate in the United States is 16.62 ¢/kWh. The average residential U.S. electricity price is 16.63 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Louisiana has the cheapest electric rate, with customers paying 11.23 cents per kWh for electricity, while Hawaii has the highest rates, over 40 cents (42.10¢) per kWh

    These prices make ECat’s 9.5 cents per kWh for 24/7 generation look really, really good!

  62. Calle H

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    Two years ago you launched the E-Cat lamp SKLep. At that time it did not materialize into a commercial product. Today with the Data Sheet in hand (12V 10W cylinder version), the lamp would become a very simple and attractive product as it only comprises of the E-Cat NGU with a 10W LED and an on/off switch. May I ask if this would not be a faster way to market (reaching the 1 mil target with a simple, well-defined and mass-produced friendly product) than taking the fight for a very complex multi-kW E-Cat NGU targeting the EV market?

    Kind regards,
    Calle H

  63. Andrea Rossi

    Calle H:
    Thank you for your opinion,
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  64. Svein

    On 12. December it will be 9 years since the Paris Agreement was established.
    This gives us an opportunity to highlight the opportunities that E-Cat gives the world.
    Here, each nation must present its conditions. For me in Norway, I have thought this:

    For us in Norway, With 100% water-powered electricity, the following facts are important in relation to our opportunities to create global changes:

    1. Norway’s CO2 emissions are 1 per thousand of the global emissions. A net “zero emission” with us is hardly registerable.
    2. Our oil and gas production is 2% of the global one. If it stopped now, this would immediately be replaced by Russia and OPEC countries, both of which have enough capacity and need more income for wars and weapons.
    3. Since the Paris Agreement in 2015 on halving CO2 emissions by 2030, emissions have only increased.
    4. Today, more than 50% of the world’s electricity is produced in coal-fired power plants. China and India now lead the way.
    5. If only weather-based energy sources are to cover the market, huge battery stores must be established.
    6. Replacing Norway’s hydropower-pools with “electric-car-batteries” would require 2 billion units of each 45 kWh.
    7. Our need for storage to achieve energy-security, globally, becomes almost just a “stone” in the “necesari battery mountain”.
    8. Nuclear power seems to be considered the most relevant for nations’ base-load to the grid.
    9. It will take a long time before the coal power plants’ 50% here is replaced with nuclear power.
    10. It does not seem possible to prevent the global temperature from exceeding the 2 grade target by 2050.
    11. A ZPE electric generator was patented in 2015. A successful test was carried out in September 2024.
    (The device with “zero-emissions” will, in terms of price, be able to outperform both fossil energy-sources and large electric car-batteries.)

    Regarding point 11 above, the following can now be said and assumed:

    a) Inventor is Andra Rossi. The device is called E-Cat NGU. Mass production may come in 2025.
    b) E-Cat is also suitable for mobile use. The weight is approx. 1/10th of equivalent electric batteries.
    c) In terms of cost, the energy will be delivered to approx. 1/10th of today’s European consumer prices.
    d) In terms of efficiency, the E-Cat will work as long as a diesel engine without any “fuel supply”.
    e) E-Cat seems suitable for all energy purposes except commercial aircraft and rockets.
    f) E-Cat will make users independent of an electricity network and works very well together with solar cells.
    g) E-Cat will change global energy use to the benefit of all large and small energy users.
    h) The national economy in the major oil and gas producing countries will be strongly affected.
    i) A phasing out of fossil energy use probably still takes 20 years. E-Cat will contribute early on to lowering the prices of oil and gas.
    j) Additional technical information can be found here: https://ecatthenewfire.com/ Happy reading!

    @Alexw
    actually your calculation is theoretically correct if the cost of the kilowatt in your country is what you say. in Italy where I live the cost is similar but the real cost of the kilowatt of energy is about €0.15 the rest of the price is due to the fixed costs of distribution and system so the calculation of the savings I have to do only on the value of the kilowatt of energy and this already changes things. At this point I make a comparison with another very popular generator in Italy, the photovoltaic one, today a photovoltaic watt costs let’s say €0.15 (in reality at this moment it is regularly purchased wholesale even at €0.10 per watt). I consider only the generator as everything needed afterwards, i.e. inverter etc. is very similar to what is needed to integrate an ecat. Statistically 1 photovoltaic kilowatt produces 1kW of energy in a year in northern Italy and also 1.3kW in southern Italy, I live in the north, so with 1kW photovoltaic I produce 1kW in a year and I have a generator cost equal to €0.15 x 1,000 = €150 therefore to have your 8760 kW in a year I will have to have an investment in photovoltaic modules of €150 x 8.76 = €1,376 which is almost half of the investment in ecat.
    Am I wrong ?

  67. Jan Srajer

    Is the life time of the Ecat SKLed 100 000 hours independently from the luminous flow ?

    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  69. Jan Šrajer

    Mr.Rossi
    Your theoretical work is highly professional and difficult to understand for an electrical engineer like myself.
    Nevertheless, future development can be built on it. For example, the description of the Casimir force and Coulomb force raise the question of where the E-cat energy comes from. What if this energy is drawn from the aether? Perhaps dark matter and dark energy also come from the aether. True, Einstein’s theory and the Michels-Morley experiment did not prove the aether. However, when the research of your theory develops, then we can expect interesting discoveries.
    All the best J.Š

  72. Alexw

    @diegot – It’s a really simple calculation actually, for the example of a 1kW ECAT being run continuously:

    Annual electricity output = 24×365 = 8760kWh
    In the UK electricity costs the equivalent of 30 cents per kWh, which is $2628 a year payback on a purchase cost of $2500.

    For domestic use it is optimistic you are correct, but not for a power plant supplying base load to the grid. Now of course there will be other costs involved, inverters for example to supply the required output. This would in part be cancelled out by bulk order discount for a large ECAT plant.

  73. I just placed a pre-order for a 10 W dc ecat. Congratulations on your progress, my prayers are with you!

  74. Andrea Rossi

    Mike Casbon:

    thanks
    diegot

  78. Alexw

    @Wilfried
    Based on the current electricity costs in the UK the ECAT would pay for itself within a year if you were to use the entire electricity output. The next 10 years would just be free electricity, so doesn’t seem too bad to me if it works as advertised. Andrea has also stated that the ECAT can be refurbished with active material for a third of the original cost, at the end if its operational life. This would shorten the payback further.

    @Andrea – Obviously the first orders you will be recouping the significant R&D costs that have been put into the ECAT with the price sold, rightly so if the ECAT delivers as promised. Are you able to estimate how much scope there is for the price to fall long term? For example do you think a cost below $1000 per kW would be possible based on material and manufacturing costs? At these sort of prices we could start thinking about fully ECAT powered EVs with infinite range at motorway speeds! An exciting prospect

  79. Andrea Rossi

    Alexw:
    The price and delivery conditions of the Ecat are defined here:

    @Wilfried
    A single blast furnace in the steel industry requires 10-100 MW, depending on its size. So these are not values in the order of magnitude of GW.
    The advantage of the ecat is precisely that it can be used decentrally and does not require a regional power grid. In Germany, the electricity grid fee alone costs around 10 ct/kwh plus 19% VAT. 11 years without maintenance would be an extraordinarily good value.
    Best regards
    Frank

  81. Wilfried

    Dear Andrea,

    May I ask whether you are also working on large E-Cats with higher performance and longer service life, or are at least thinking about it?
    For large power plants in the multi-gigawatt range, the assembly of 10 watt units and a service life of “only” eleven years would possibly be too expensive.

    Best Regards
    Wilfried

  83. WaltC

    Dr. Rossi,

    Computer and AI Server farms are demanding more and more clean/green, uninterruptable power, beyond what the national grid can offer. Microsoft is addressing the problem by having one of the Three Mile Island reactors reactivated. Others are utilizing Energy Server Farms (do a Bing/Google image search of “Energy Server” to see some pictures). Notably, the Energy Server farms are outdoors to deal with waste heat, and possible combustion pollutants.

    Question: I know the ECat is clean & green– no CO2 byproducts– can you say: how much waste-heat would a 1 megawatt ECat-based Energy Server “box” produce if it were placed inside a large computer room? I realize the inverters, etc. would also produce waste-heat, but just the ECats themselves?

    I ask this question because the ability to collocate the ECat Energy Servers with the Compute/AI Servers could be a competitive advantage.

    Best Wishes,
    WaltC

  84. Andrea Rossi

    The heat dissipation of the Ecat is very low, as most of the energy is turned into electricity, maybe 10/30 kWh/MWh

    Gentilissimo grazie anche per questi ulteriori chiarimenti. Deduco, correggimi per piacere, che l’ecat fornito da Rossi produceva corrente in continua, che, tramite un inverter l’hai trasformata in corrente alternata ed è stato in corrente alternata che l’ecat, tramite la tua “interfaccia” ha alimentato la batteria della e-up, la stufa elettrica e il trapano?
    La Twizzy invece è stata alimenta in corrente continua?
    Quale inverter, se puoi dirlo, hai usato?
    Grazie ancora

    @Rossi
    Caro Andrea, sono circa 15 anni che ti seguo. Già, all’epoca, le parole dell’emerito prof Focardi e del rettore dell’Università di Bologna, se ben ricordo, avevano fugato in me ogni dubbio. Quello che ho osservato in questi anni, anche successivamente alla prova di Latina, è che tra i numerosi amici che ho cercato di coinvolgere tra i quali diversi ingegneri e tecnici, c’è stato un un inspiegabile disinteresse, al più, in un solo caso, uno scetticismo alimentato da “come mai in tutti questi anni non è uscito ancora nulla?”. Di fronte a queste reazioni rimango tuttora allibito, senza parole. All’interprete presente a Bologna, che aveva definito la tua tecnologia l’invenzione più importante degli ultimi cent’anni il prof. Neri ha correttamente osservato che la tua realizzazione (non so se chiamarla scoperta, invenzione…) è la più importante nella storia dell’umanità. É esattamente così.
    Non sono il primo a domandarmelo: A QUANDO IL NOBEL?
    Non sono d’accordo con te sul fatto che se la tua ricerca fosse open source “nessuno farebbe gli investimenti necessari senza una proprietà intellettuale che ne valga la pena”. Sono convinto che sarebbero nati come i funghi i laboratori di ricerca, peraltro ben sovvenzionati, pronti a dimostrare che la tua teoria è tutta fuffa. Ricordiamoci di Fleishmann e Pons…
    Ti auguro tanto bene

    SYNOPSIS
    @Maico
    While e-cat produced 3kW in Dc, you charged e-up in AC and Twizzy in DC? Did you used an inverter? Con you tell us the brand?

  87. Dear Dr. Rossi,

    following application:
    E-Cat,
    batteries,
    an inverter
    To supply a house with electricity.

    1) If Batteries have integrated Energy Management System (EMS) could they be easiely charged by E-Cat Cells (100W, 200W or 500W, 12V) if the E-Cats are parallel to the Battery?

    2) If the batteries (with BMS) are connected in series (may 36V or 72V in total) will they also be charged perfect with 3 x E-Cat or 6 x E-Cats in series?

    3) or do we need an extra DC Charger for the batteries, which knows about the charging curve of the batteries?

    4) What does the intelligence of the E-Cat in Detail do? Does it detect a batterie? does it switch of if no power is needed? does it shut down, if power is higher than 1kW (5kW, 10kW)?

    5) What would you recommend to support a house with 6kW peak and 60kWh per day?

    Dear Rossi
    You have published several characteristics (the basic ones) of your ECAT but many others (not always secondary) are still unknown.”
    In a widespread marketing these characteristics that I call “secondary” become important for many sectors and can be conditioning for a greater or lesser success of these devices. At the very least, some maximum values must be provided. I will mention only a few for brevity. I hope however that the discussion (at least up to a certain limit) will be broadened and deepened before the commercial launch of the ECAT to avoid an infinite number of disputes due to ignorance, wrong expectations and also bad faith and destructive interests. In the devices already in use these data are known or at least available even if they are often not explicitly mentioned.
    1) Fixed voltage at 12 V
    What precision do 12 V have and how does this voltage vary with the load, temperature, disturbances, aging etc. … The same applies to the maximum power supplied or maximum current supplied. How does stopping or starting or restarting occur?
    2) But how much is the superimposed ripple, what frequency does it have and what amplitude and how does it vary with the load, temperature, disturbances, aging, etc.
    3) Grounding. Is it necessary? How should it be done and what impedance should it have? If it is disconnected or not there, what happens?
    4) What is the effect and limits of external disturbances on the ECAT: electromagnetic disturbances, acoustic disturbances, radiation of various types? Shocks, Humidity—Water—Rain—Hail—snow? and movements during use? What is the effect of external pressure? What pressures are allowed?
    5) What is the effect of position and movements during transport or use?
    6) What are the temperature variations during use. What are the possible ambient temperatures for the ECAT and how do these affect the operation of the ECAT and its lifespan?
    7) What are the maximum and minimum capacitive, inductive and resistive loads that the ECAT can accept? Please note that even a simple connection cable has its own capacity – inductance and resistance. It is in some cases important to also know how the ECAT is seen by an external device connected to it (capacity – inductance and resistance)
    8) Are the ECAT connections protected from external overvoltages and up to what value?
    9) It has been said that the ECAT has a guaranteed continuous working life of 100,000 hours or almost 12 years. This is absurd for a commercial device that would require special construction techniques and very high costs normal only for special sectors such as space or military. A commercial device normally has 2-3 years of guaranteed life, rarely a few years more. Then you can make it work even for 100 years but with the necessary maintenance and with the necessary replacements of worn parts. Therefore why not rely on a simpler and more realistic strategy. OK for 100,000 hours of life but with any maintenance and assistance if necessary.

    IMO optimum us of the NGU for hybrid hydro power is to never shut it down, always have the NGU operational…either supplying power to the grid or pumping water back to the reservoir.

    with the sole intent, for the umpteenth time, of sowing distrust among the public.
    You did an excellent job and I think, as an electronics/electrical engineer, I would have done the same thing. In the additional tests that you were able
    to do with the permission of A.R. you did what everyone would have wanted to experiment out of curiosity.
    Given the complexity of BEV management I would say that everything below is simple and achievable.
    Perhaps the only question mark remains…….If the E-cat NGU also works in the absence of gravity! :-))

    And to be precise, the question was this:

    Why did I mention “only now” the additional tests carried out in my garage on September 6, 2024?

    The answer is very simple, on September 6-7 Dr. Rossi and I met to “certify”, with “practical” tests, that the demonstration that Dr. Rossi had planned in the Sagitario Circuit of Latina on September 27 was “feasible” with 1000% certainty ;).
    The tests that were done on September 6-7 to obtain this “guarantee” have been in the “public domain” for a long time and therefore I will not dwell on it further.

    The Demonstration of September 27 was the sole and only objective of that meeting.
    We wanted to verify that the E-Cat and my electronics to integrate it into the Twizy, were able to recharge the battery of my Twizy while moving, make it travel about 3 times its WLTP “autonomy” and at the end of the demonstration (the demonstration was interrupted because it would soon get dark and the track is not approved for night races, otherwise the Twizy could have continued to “run” indefinitely!!!) provide evidence that the battery SoC was higher than the starting one!!!

    I knew that the additional tests, which Dr. Rossi very kindly allowed me to do on September 6th (but I would only find out on the 6th if I could actually do them), due to lack of time, would NOT be officially documented (Dr. Rossi did not even know that I would ask him to do those tests) while the Latina Demonstration, in addition to being filmed in its entirety, would be followed by a competent audience, and would provide “irrefutable” objective data.

    What was demonstrated in Latina is something “amazing”, the integration of the E-Cat in the Twizy, in my opinion can easily be considered a pre-production prototype, as both the “control” and safety automatisms that I introduced in my electronics are much more than “experimental”…. I created them with the aim of “achieving” a “scalable” basic architecture applicable to any BEV since in the end, simplifying the discussion a lot”, they are “all the same” !!!!

    The problem of charging the Battery of a BEV Vehicle in motion in DC, thanks to the FANTASTIC E-Cat NGU of Dr. Rossi I had solved it 😉 (or rather on September 6th I did not know it yet I would have understood it in those 2 days that I had solved it), I just had to be able to also have the certainty that the E-Cat in addition to working “perfectly in DC” (for further checks I used the “resistive” load that you saw in the photo) was able to correctly drive an inverter and thanks to that drive both inductive and resistive loads and why NOT, also recharge in AC the Battery of a BEV Vehicle thanks to its internal OBC.

    What can I say: The E-Cat definitely does ALL this!!!! and I can say this because what I “set up and built” worked perfectly (I won’t go into the merits but I had to overcome NOT a few challenges, not dependent on the E-Cat, but in the end I came out the winner, or rather the E-Cat came out the winner!!!)

    I understand that for many, as it was for me, tests of this type are very important (and I can assure you that they all gave positive results, as I described in my report), but I remember that the meeting on 6-7 September in Genoa with Dr. Rossi had another purpose, and the conclusion of those tests was that:

    on 27 September 2024 Dr. Rossi made History!!!,

    a little help, I don’t deny that I gave it to him too… but without his E-Cat NGU never a Twizy, and specifically my Twizy could have traveled 201 km without ever stopping and concluding the demonstration with the highest Battery SoC of that of the departure.

    As Dr. Rossi has already said, I made him a promise, when I decide NOT to use my Twizy anymore, I just have to tell him and He will immediately buy it to include it in his Museum, a museum that he has already started to set up as I understand it 😉

    Here then is the reason why I spoke about the additional tests that I carried out on September 6th only now….. compared to the demonstration of September 27th they are much, much “less important”, but it was absolutely necessary to let you know about them and let you know the “outcomes” of the same: All positive!!!

    “History” was made on September 27th, nothing of that demonstration, by Dr. Rossi was left to chance, everything was done to have objective and irrefutable data.

    I hope I have been exhaustive enough in my response to the observation that you have made in several blogs.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    You responded to my post of a suggestion of using excess NGU provided power to pump water to the higher side of an hydroelectric equipped dam to accommodate peak power demands with “The Ecat supplies the energy drawn from the loads”

    Discussion
    1. Your post “The Ecat supplies the energy drawn from the loads” is factually incorrect. The Ecat does not supply the power drawn from the loads. The NGU would provide power to the loads as the loads require it within the limits of the NGU.
    2. At current pricing level of $2.50USD per Watt, the NGU is too expensive for peak power, which only occurs a few hours a day, if at all depending on the season.
    3. I suggest the NGU technology makes economic sense for average, or so-called BaseLoad, applications.
    4. If the NGU supplies all the average power, then, by definition, it would undersupply the excess power during peak loads and have additional available power during the off-peak power valleys.
    5. The use of pumping water to a higher storage location during times of “valley times” of excess power production and generating power to supplement the NGU power during peak demand times was suggested.

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    Has your Marketing Staff explained why there are not 100 electric power providers found that would pre-order a 1MW E-Cat plant?

    The increase in their profits and leverage of their existing infrastructure would protect their current company investment.

    Mr.Rossi
    I would like to ask about the volt-ampere characteristics of the E-cat 100W. With an output voltage of 12V, the characteristic is such that the voltage is constant up to a certain current and when current further increase, power is overload, does the E-cat 100W turn off? So the E-cat has a voltage characteristic?

    All the best J.Š

  120. Olov

    Dear Andrea,
    I’ve been considering ways to maximize the use of the Ecat, given that it has a maximum output and turns off if exceeded. It seems beneficial to utilize it up to its maximum capacity to optimize the energy output for the investment. Would it be possible to use all the energy the Ecat can provide and supplement any additional demand from the grid during periods of high consumption?

  121. Andrea Rossi

    Olov:
    To do this you need a certified contractor and the authorization of the grid authority,
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  122. AlexW

    Dear Andrea Rossi,
    I wonder if you are able to reveal any details about the current-voltage characteristics of the ECAT. The datasheet states 1-12V for a 100W unit, so a max current of 8.3A.
    1) Can the voltage be manually adjusted or is it fixed by the way the smaller units are wired?
    2) Can you say in a general sense how the current varies with the voltage? Are they directly proportional, or something more exotic like a solar cell for example?

  123. Andrea Rossi

    AlexW:
    1- it is fixed
    2- the current varies depending on the power of the load, being fixed the Voltage,
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  124. Mario

    Dear Andrea
    I would like to power a fridge that draws about 80 W from the mains. My question is: is one E-Cat 100 W AC connected directly enough or will I need to use a power bank or buy more 100 W generators.

    I am impressed with the Twizzy car show

    Thank you Klas !
    I wait now for the E-Cat and I will ask my certified contractor to think about it.
    I have Solar Edge as photovoltaic panels with optimisers on each pannel. I think it will do it.
    Regards

  127. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    NGU technology is ideally suited to provide constant electrical power. But, unfortunately, the demand has highs and lows.

    Consider a Grid system where there are lakes at significant different elevations with hydroelectric dams. During periods of the day where demand is low, use excess NGU Grid power to pump the water to the higher elevation. During period of high demand, discontinue the water pumping and draw energy from the hydroelectric dam.

    Thoughts?

    Dear Andrea,

    What is your comment about a careful preorder strategy (e.g., like the one described here by Martin)?
    “First, place a small order, wait for delivery, see if it works, and then order what you really need.”

    Could it perhaps be better to place two orders now (with some delay) to have both put in the expected quite long pre-order cue, thus minimizing delivery time on the second order from when you are asked to confirm it?

    Regards
    Klas

  134. Will it be possible to connect the E-Cat to the input of a photovoltaic inverter with the E-Cat being triggered when the panels no longer provide enough electricity. In the event of a demand greater than what the panels and the E-Cat provide, the relay would be provided by the network while using the energy coming from the E-Cat (without it stopping working).
    Thank you very much.

  135. Andrea Rossi

    Michel Gonnord:
    I suppose it to be possible, but you must make the necessary control system with your certified contractor that made your solar system,
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  136. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    While I have been suggesting relatively large power output applications, there is a need for small power applications.

    Specifically, in USB port powered applications. For example, in my home, a ceiling light was installed where there originally was none. Thus, no household wiring went to that location. I installed a battery-powered light that could be charged from the computer USB port. Obviously, a pain to remove from the closet ceiling to transport to the computer for periodic charging.

    A 10W (or less) NGU continuously charging the ceiling light would be wonderful. Not much power but a potential large market demand.

    Thoughts?

  137. Andrea Rossi

    Steven Nicholes Karels,
    Thank you for your insight,
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  138. Martin

    Dear Andrea ,

    I have placed a pre-order of 5 x 100 W = 500 W Ecat. ( 60 V. – 500 W. )

    1. Is the Ecat delivered as 1 whole? (60 V – 500 W) or do I have to connect them in parallel myself ?

    2. If they are delivered separately, can I then regulate all 5 ecats at the same time to 12 V. ?

    3. If I am satisfied with the operation and I order 3 x 100 W. more, can I then make 2 x 400 W. from those 500 W + 300 W or is it not possible to subtract 1 x 100 W from those 500 W and add it to those 300 W.

    PS. :
    If I am further satisfied with the good functioning (to be connected to a micro inverter and connected to the grid) I would consider ordering more ecats.
    Hopefully they will go into production soon, because I have been following you for more than 10 years and want to be able to put them into production effectively.

    Kind Regards
    Martin

    @Maico and all Readers
    What you wrote just now only strengthens my convictions that I had already consolidated in 2010. The project has changed but the people who cultivated it were the same and the result could only be this. We have learned to know A.R. through this and other forums and, with the passing of time and the flow of events (positive and negative) the trust has strengthened, despite the constant presence of dark shadows (trolls). What you did before entering the circuit was exceptional and I envy you (positively) for the chance you had. First among all of us (early believers) to be able to touch and above all try the object. Your report, even more than the test on the circuit, is very important because it makes everyone understand, even those who understand little about electronics/physics/computer science that the E-cat can be carried around like once upon a time a radio was carried around to avoid having it stolen (in Italy). Moving it between one home and another in the most remote places in the world (it will revolutionize the real estate market). In the most remote villages where now water is drawn from wells with rope and bucket and the first light bulb is miles away. In short, a benefit for all human existence.
    Thanks also to A.R. who accepted your “pre-test” even if he was taken by surprise. It surprised me but maybe it was the right time and the right person, and he realized it.
    I fully agree with what @Camillo said. A.R. has been through all sorts of things in recent years, even on a health level, do you really think it’s an economic issue? It’s about changing our way of life, not selling a Tesla or a Patek. It’s something much deeper that goes beyond the simple economic reward.

  144. Corinne

    Dr Rossi,
    I think that the record of total readings set by the paper
    http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
    has been determined by the fact that the voice is circling around that several researchers have replicated the experimental setup described in it.

    Dear Dr Rossi

    Now that you are getting close to accepting paynent for orders I suggest setting up a means to accept payments using either Bitcoin or USDT (USD stable coins). The new administration is very Bitcoin friendly and this option would simplify payment for millions of people. US payment processors like Strike are already in place to assist with this. Payment platforms like Wise and PayPal can and do censor payments

    Dear Dr Rossi,
    The comments of Maico made clear to us why you do not need further demonstrations: all you need is an agreement with a global company that can diffuse the Ecat in the whole world. All the rest would be a loss of time. I am glad to read in your recent comment that you are closing such kind of agreement.

  154. Wilfried

    Dear Andrea,

    I would like to build a mobile charging station for electric cars. This should consist of a 48 Vdc 3 kW E-Cat, a 48 Vdc -> 230 Vac inverter and a 3 kW charging cable with a Schuko plug connection. I would like to transport this unit in the trunk so that I can charge the electric car while parked at night or during longer breaks.
    My question: Is it unproblematic to transport the E-Cat in SSM mode, or does the E-Cat have to be completely switched off?
    If the E-Cat has to be switched off completely, is it possible to connect an external switch via a cable so that you don’t have to switch on the E-Cat itself?

    Best regards
    Wilfried

  155. Andrea Rossi

    Caro Andrea,
    hai risposto che la ricerca dell’ ecat per il riscaldamento domestico attraverso il riscaldamento di resistenze sta procedendo.
    Immagino correttamente una caldaia a metano alla quale sia stato sostituito l’ingombrante bruciatore con resistenze alimentate da pochi ecat (500 W, 1000 W), in grado di mettere in circolo acqua calda fino a 70, 75 gradi Celsius?

    Vai avanti! grazie di cuore. Ringrazio anche l’ingegner Maico per gli ulteriori approfondimenti e te per averlo autorizzato.

    In una discussione un socio ha scritto:
    Mi chiedo: test in vari occasioni ne sono spuntati tanti e in tutti il risultato è stato più che soddisfacente. Se tutto questo è vero perchè ancora non è ancora commercializzato?

    La mia risposta è stata questa:
    Dal 2009 è stato un susseguirsi di annunci andati poi a vuoto. In realtà Rossi ha un prodotto commerciabile SOLO ora, certo ha solo 10 Watt ma cumulabili!…………………….. L’entrata in commercio è una faccenda DELICATA!!! Da una parte c’è un bisogno impellente di fermare il progressivo deterioramento dell’atmosfera e quindi BEN VENGA, dall’altra parte le grosse MULTINAZIONALI delle automobili hanno investito miliardi nelle nuove batterie per auto… questa scoperta neutralizza i soldi investiti… NON è facile che le ditte di auto accettino senza CONTRASTARE. Faranno di tutto per rallentare, ma non potranno bloccare perchè anche loro hanno figli e capiscono che devono vivere in un mondo accettabile, quindi RALLENTERANNO!!! Per le auto ci vorranno tempi lunghi … diverso è , a mio parere, il fotovoltaico, sarà la prima applicazione ad essere generalizzata senza grosse opposizioni. Se ci pensate il pannello solare raddoppia il rendimento, il rendimento passa dal 25% al 50% INCREDIBILE! Osservazione personale: la maggior parte dei lettori forse penseranno che Rossi stia cercando solo il “grande guadagno..” . Mmmm… Rossi ha passato i 70 è poco più giovane di me e conosco quella mentalità, verso la fine della vita il GUADAGNO perde importanza….. A mio giudizio la meta VERA è “IL LASCIARE UN’IMPRONTA UTILITARISTICA ALLA SOCIETA’ ”

    ENGLISH SYNOPSIS
    I think that the reason of the cautious approach to the market of Andrea Rossi is generated by the worry of the resistance to changement his technology will have to sustain

  164. Maico

    @Tom Kaminski, @Italo R. and the others

    Thank you very much for the appreciation 😉

    on September 6, 2024, I think I did “only” what any of us, with a minimum of technical and practical skills, who have been following Dr. Rossi for years, would have wanted to do having a 3kW E-Cat at our disposal

    as anticipated, everything I did I did with the intention of verifying the “real” performance of the E-Cat. I had not warned Dr. Rossi of my intentions, the risk that I would not be authorized to perform these additional tests was high especially if some of the tests listed were considered by Dr. Rossi, who knows the characteristics of the E-Cat in detail, “not appropriate”.

    But it was not like that, after having meticulously verified the functioning of the E-Cat EV (Go to proceed the next day on the Bench to Rollers), I explained to Dr. Rossi, in detail the “test protocol” that I wanted to do and using what (I had already rented the BEV car and had left it parked near my house), he thought about it for a few minutes, asked me some other details and immediately gave me his consent 🙂

    I am sure that if he had only had the slightest doubt that something could go wrong, he would not have given me the authorization …. but he was clearly “convinced” of the capabilities of his E-Cat and therefore immediately gave his consent to the “test protocol” that I had in mind.

    We had little time and therefore necessarily the individual tests could not have lasted too long.

    I had prepared everything so that there was no downtime for setting up the bench.

    What I made had the same type of connection as the E-Cat, that is, a 120a Anderson connector, and therefore the transition from one test to another would have been very quick, and in fact it was, in less than 3 hours we were able to perform everything I described in my “post” yesterday.

    The Latina demonstration at the “il Sagittario” racetrack was an event that will remain in history for what it was able to demonstrate, but that 6-7 September, they were no less, indeed they “extracted from the E-Cat” much, much more energy than that used in Latina.

    After the tests on September 6-7, I was certain, following the tests done (Dr. Rossi never had the slightest doubt), that the Twizy could have “run” in the “il Sagitario” racetrack for more than 10 hours, covering no less than 340 km (Dr. Rossi knew that he could have covered 5,000 km without ever stopping), but there would not have been time to do a demonstration of this kind since the circuit did not have a lighting system for night driving.

    This experience catapulted me into a new world, 25kwh of energy absolutely cannot fit in the E-Cat EV BOX unless there is an E-CAT inside that is able to drive, after my tests, both resistive and inductive loads, such as recharging an electric vehicle.

    I’m sure, but until 1 year ago I wouldn’t have said it, that even if the Twizy had traveled 350 km on the Latina circuit without ever stopping there would have been someone who would have said that there was a trick….

    I understand Dr. Rossi when he says that the most effective demonstration of the fact that the E-Cat is real will come from Customers when they can directly verify its characteristics, capabilities and performance.

    Dear Dr.Rossi.
    With the additional tests done by Maico, the e-cat can be used for multiple uses. It seems though that there is always an additional controller or inverter needed. Can you list the scenarios tested so far, and the name of the interface between the e-cat and the running device.
    Warm regards.

    Silvio Scicluna:
    The kind of inverters depend on the specific situations, as well as the necessity or not of the inverters.

    Dear Doctor Rossi,

    Congratulations for the Latina-test !

    What are the probable scenarios for you in terms of use of Ecat energy by cars ?

    a) Ecat powered car : necessitates 20kwh NGU (consumption +-20kwh/100 km); investment of 50.000 Usd

    b)
    – For City driving (60 km/day average ie consumption of 10kh): Standard battery Electric car charged by Mobile
    +-2Kwh NGU unit’s during nighttime. Charge time is +- 8 hours for 100 km (city driving). Investment 5000 Usd. Use
    NGU units during daytime for heating/sanitary water heating & general electric consumption in the house (appliances like washing machines, dryer, oven etc).
    – For Highway driving :
    Standard battery Electric car charged by +-2Kwh NGU unit during night time (10 hours & 100 km autonomy) +
    Rest of charge is taken up at fast charging stations which could be powered by Ecat NGU which will have a high level of use and could also switch to hydrogen production when not needed for fast charging.

    C) Your probable scenario short and long term ?

    All the best to you and your team.

    These issues will have to be confronted with Clients specifically interested to mobility applications; so far I am not able to answer; in the meantime we are confronting the certification issues, that are much different from those of stationary applications, that the Ecat already has been granted of.

    Dr. Rossi,
    From what has been written I have this idea which however can only be my conjecture:
    The output of the E-cat is a unidirectional voltage, therefore continuous.
    Not like that coming from a battery, but rather like a train of unidirectional energy pulses with its own waveform and frequency. As such it will have an average value given by the integral over time.
    This type of energy can obviously be exploited taking care to condition it and make it as similar as possible to that generated by a battery. For example, the classic L-C filter comes to mind.

    In the future we will be able to see how much I “got it right”!

    P.S. I really appreciated the last message from Eng. Marzocchi. He is a technician of exceptional value who, I believe, will have a very important future in this energy sector.

    Kind Regards,
    Italo R.

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    The use of an explosion-proof box for the E-Cat NGU unit can be useful for convincing condo HOAs to approve the E-Cat for home use.

    With enough orders for a 3kw E-Cat assemblies in a watertight, explosion-proof box, could the price become reasonable? Otherwise, please give the manufacturer of the box used in your Latina Test and price?

    Thank you for your attention to my product question.
    Best of luck with your pilot manufacturing plant.

    Best Regards,

    Daniel G. Zavela

    Very interesting input, indeed very good!

    Just to be sure: You have “added” some kind of inverter to the Ecat to be able to get AC for the E-Cat WallBox?

    Best regards,

  180. Maico

    Dear Dr Rossi,

    More and more often on JONP, I see questions addressed to you about the types of loads that the E-Cat is able to “manage”.

    Regarding this “topic” I believe I can provide some very important indications.

    Thanks to the integration and demo of the E-Cat EV on my Twizy, I had the opportunity to use, under its control, on September 6 and 7, 2024, a 3kW E-Cat.

    Much has been said and written about the demonstration at the Latina racetrack on September 27, 2024, as has also been done about the test on the roller bench on September 7, 2024 (8 hours of testing at the same power used in the Latina demonstration of the E-Cat EV).
    Much less has been written/said about the tests carried out by Us on September 6, 2024 in my Box, while we “integrated” the E-Cat into my Twizy to carry out, the following day, the test on the roller bench (in those 2 days the Ecat always remained under my “control/sight”, and on the night of September 6, at the end of the joint activity, in preparation for the test on the “rollers”, it remained closed in my box inside the Twizy).
    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-q3hEJkCt8xAGF1_pUKuPB2Mg_nAOTvf&usp=drive_fs

    Before describing in detail what was done on September 6, 2024, I would like to make a premise:

    1) before we met for the “integration”, I already knew that I would be the “certifier” of the Latina Demonstration. The apks and hw that I created to monitor and manage the output from the E-Cat, the input in the Twizy and its consumption as well as that of Twizy #2 were created by me precisely for this purpose and that is to be able to recover and provide objective, measured and irrefutable data on the 2 Twizys.

    2) before we met I knew that I could NOT look inside the E-Cat BOX, nor take specific measurements of any kind.

    Since “our” first official contact (my written proposal to use my Twizy for the demonstration of the E-Cat EV as I would have been able to integrate the E-Cat into the “Auto system” of my Twizy thanks to my vertical skills on the Twizy and Electrical/Electronic/Sw Development skills that I have!!!), my only goal was the same as I imagine all the people who have been following you for years and therefore follow the evolution of your E-Cat have: And that is to understand if the E-Cat NGU does what it promises.

    I knew that the demo of the E-Cat Ev would be for me the “unique” opportunity to “verify” some of the “characteristics/peculiarities” of the E-Cat… I just had to create “the right context” to be able to do some “extra tests” in addition to those previously planned with you for the “integration”, and in case of success, for the demo in Latina.

    I therefore organized myself to AUTONOMOUSLY REALIZE, and therefore have it at my disposal the day before the test on the roller bench (September 6, 2024), everything necessary and in plug & play format (so as to waste as little time as possible) to do these FURTHER tests that I had in mind.

    When we met, I would have proposed these ideas of mine on “additional tests” with the hope that these would be accepted by you 🙂

    AND ACTUALLY SO IT WAS!!! 😉

    After having verified that the many weeks of “separated” work (Yours, Your Team and Mine) dedicated to the E-Cat EV project, had given the expected results (Your E-Cat, thanks to my Electronics, was perfectly integrated into the “Twizy system” and therefore the next day we could have done the tests on the roller bench), in a very collaborative and “far-sighted” way You gave me “the consent and the opportunity” to carry out the tests that I described to you that same day, with the Instrumentation and the Environment that I had very “meticulously” prepared ;).

    Here is what I had prepared/made/rented:

    1) A heating resistor system with “running water” cooling to verify that the E-Cat could be used as a “heating source” (in my box there is a sink with a water tap and a drain for draining water on the floor)
    2) A trolley, therefore transportable, called E-Cat WallBox, completely made by me and completely controllable Wireless in power that taking DC input from the E-Cat could recharge, without any problem, a Full Electric Car (BEV) according to the T2 standard (Type 2) and at the same time was able to provide AC 220/110 50/60hz electrical power, without any problem, to various types of load (resistive, inductive etc)
    3) Rented a BEV Electric Car and specifically a Volkswagen E-Up to use “as a Load” for the E-Cat WallBOX
    4) A 500w power drill and a 2Kw fan heater to verify that the E-Cat WallBox interconnected to the E-Cat, with its additional 220/110V AC output was able to drive, without any problem, total powers of that type and that is resistive/inductive loads.

    I take advantage of this “post” of mine to thank you, DR. Rossi, for giving me the opportunity to do under your supervision this “further type of tests”, ALL OF WHICH HAVE GAVE POSITIVE RESULTS.

    In my previous messages, here and on ECW I said that on September 6, 2024 I took “similar” powers from the E-Cat to those of the E-Cat EV demo for 2 hours (which added to the 8 hours of the test on the roller benches make 10 hours of “withdrawal” energy from the E-Cat to the powers of the demo, with the E-Cat always under my control/sight).
    The 2 hours of Energy withdrawal from the E-Cat are to be considered “effective”, while as Elapsed, all the tests carried out, which I will describe below, required just over 3 hours, obviously considering the times of set-up and execution of the various tests.

    Here is how the Test protocol was carried out.

    1) Through my Electronics (I remember that by pressing the button on the side of the box you can exclude all the “specificities and behaviors” necessary for the management and integration of/in the Twizy) which gives me total control of the Energy emitted by the E-Cat, including the quantity produced, we interconnected the E-Cat to the set of heating resistors that I made and inserted them into the metal container where the cooling water was made to flow and we powered them, via my control electronics, from the E-Cat. In about 1/2 hour of continuous tests, about 1.4kwh were consumed and therefore emitted by the E-Cat without any kind of problem.

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FtaOpyYF-pp5YttysqPgx-8qEyosGJEW&usp=drive_fs
    So:
    DC test with resistive load concluded successfully

    2) Once this test was completed we interconnected the E-Cat to the E-Cat WallBox and with the latter we “recharged” the Volwagen E-UP for 1 hour, introducing about 2.7kwh (the E-Cat produced more, but in this case the “conversion” losses of the BEV Car’s on-board charger also intervene), without any kind of problem.

    So:
    BEV Auto Charging Test Successfully Completed

    3) At this point we disconnected the T2 connection (type 2) from the Volwagen E-UP and connected an electrical power strip to the 220/50hz power supply output from the E-Cat WallBox to which both the Fan Heater and the Drill were connected and for 1/2 hour they were run at maximum power. The E-Cat produced approximately 1.2 kwh without any kind of problem.

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LKBomR-RXzHwZIrxMjwM4MFQD4ycVRkm&usp=drive_fs

    So:
    AC test with Inductive/Resistive loads also in this case concluded with Success.

    As mentioned, the “real” time of use of the E-Cat was 2 hours, while overall the tests described were done in 3 hours total considering the setup of the test benches and the execution of the tests themselves.

    This is why I have always said that I have seen an E-Cat, UNDER MY CONSTANT control, draw 10 hours of Energy at the power used in the Latina demo.
    2 hours on September 6th in my Box (elapsed 3 hours), with the instruments and components I made/used and 8 hours in the test on the Roller Bench to recharge the battery of the Twizy while it was on the Roller Bench (from this calculation I have deliberately neglected the approximately 15 minutes in which the E-Cat was used to charge, under the control of my Electronics, the battery of the Twizy in the static tests in my BOX to check if everything was working correctly before going to do, the next day, the tests on the Roller Bench)

    In all these hours of Checks and Tests, the “voltage” present at the ends of the E-Cat output has NEVER been “conventional” (I have already explained several times what I mean… it is certainly not a voltage coming from a Battery, nor from a power source known to me) and above all “in its average value” it has NEVER dropped in its Voltage value from the first minute of the start of the tests to the last minute after 10 hours of tests.

    I sincerely hope to have given those who follow the evolution of your E-Cat, “interesting” information on what your E-Cat can do… and that is practically Everything!!!!

    My direct experience says that it is so!!!

    In the 2 days (6-7 September 2024) that the E-Cat was under my control/sight, for our integration tests for the E-Cat EV and “NOT ONLY”, it produced such a quantity of Energy that any other “Fantastic” hypothesis can be excluded a priori…

    Impossible that a BOX of that size (E-Cat), after having generated more than 25kwh of energy, in about 10 hours of operation, presents at its terminals the same “Average voltage” that it had at the beginning of the Test!!!

    This is absolutely impossible unless the E-Cat BOX that I was able to “test” contains nothing but a 3Kw E-Cat array…..

    Thank you again Dr. Rossi for giving me the opportunity on that “historic 6th September” (at least for me) to verify in a completely INDEPENDENT manner what your E-Cat is capable of doing…..
    It took me a lot of time and quite a bit of money to build, without your knowledge, that “Test Equipment”. I couldn’t know how You “would take” the proposal of additional tests that I would have done on the day of our meeting and therefore I wasn’t sure that I could have used everything I had achieved, I had to take the risk and “proceed anyway”…. But instead, on September 6, after listening to my proposal, You immediately granted me permission to perform these additional tests 😉
    What can I say….. Immediately, I was convinced that You had “nothing to hide” from me, that You knew perfectly well that the E-Cat would be able to pass the “additional” tests that I had in mind and that I had explained to her in detail…. (not at all trivial tests!!!) And so it was……!!!

    Simply Fantastic!!!!!

    Dear AR
    Very pleased with your progress, and looking forward to my ‘pre-order’ turning up.
    Small technical question: Is there a minimum current for the eCat to start up?
    I expect to use a 20 Ohm resistor on a 12V eCat, and get 0.6 amps and 7.2 Watts
    Will the eCat start if I use a 1 M Ohm resistor?
    12 micro Amps and 144 micro Watts
    regards,
    Greg Leonard

  185. Andrea Rossi

    Greg Leonard:
    If you have 12 V and a load of 20 Ohms the A will be 0.6 and the energy drawn = Wh/h 12 x 0.6
    If you have 12 V and a load of 1 Ohm the A will be 12 and the energy = Wh/h 12 x 12
    For other values please use yourself the Ohm’s equation, and consider that to generate the Wh/h you need you must have an Ecat with a power with a value in W equal or superior to the peak value of the Wh/h you will consume.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  186. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    I understand that you posted the NGU was sensitive to mounting orientation? Is the NGU affected by vibration and/or acceleration? If so, to what limits?

  187. Andrea Rossi

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    Orientation is not an issue. Acceleration is not an issue, obviously in common public and private mobility media. Vibration suggested less than 100 Hz.

    Dear Andrea,

    I know you prefer not to enter into political discussions, but there are going to be implications for energy policy with a new administration in the USA.

    Here is an article you might find interesting. It is written by a former chairman of the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/i-know-what-president-trump-s-energy-policy-will-be-i-used-to-run-his-energy-regulatory-agency/ar-AA1uuock?ocid=BingNewsSerp

    His point is that he believes the new Trump administration is going to be favorable to all types of energy sources, traditional and new, and will reduce regulatory barriers for all.

    So it might be a good climate in which to introduce E-Cat Power. And if you can get Elon Musk on your side, it will help even more, as he is going to be an influential
    advisor to Donald Trump.

    Best wishes,

    Mr.Rossi
    Your discovery is reminiscent of the discovery of magnetic induction in the sense in which it is used today. Therefore, it is clear that we are only at the beginning of using plasma. Once the E-cat reaches the public, it will arouse enormous interest not only from consumers but also from inventors and universities. So more incredible apps are bound to emerge.
    All the best J.Š

  203. Gian Luca

    dearest A.R.

    Frank Acland on E-catworld publishes an interview with Dr. Greer in which he talks about new technologies and ZPE and the ability of inventors to manage the consequences of their own machines, which will certainly upset very important assets of states that now hold the power and therefore the ability to “cover up” what, at this time, they do not find convenient.
    Can you tell us what you think?

    (Heater)In a single 100 Watt ECAT-NGU, what value of power resistor do you suggest in order not to overload it?
    ( I=P/V = 100W/12V = 8,3A ; R=P/I^2 = 100W/8,3A^2 = 1,44ohm )
    Thank you : Mario

  206. Andrea Rossi

    Mario:
    Correct, but I prefer to put it more simply: the Client has not to make all these calculations, all he has to do is to connect a load ( in this case a resistance) whose power in Watts does not exceed the power of the Ecat: in the case you wrote of 100 W.

    Warm Regards

    Jan Srajer:
    That’s a matter totally unknown to me, anyway the reduction of an Ecat into a nanofiber is fantascientific…matter for some movie, perhaps ! (LOL)
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  209. Jan Šrajer

    Mr.Rossi
    Your theoretical work is also interesting for healthcare. In the future, E-cat nanofibers could be produced that would be implanted in the pancreas and initiate the production of insulin. In general, such a source of electron oscillation could influence the metabolism of a person and eliminate obesity completely. However, humanity will only appreciate this after 50 years.

    All the best J.Š

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Assuming eCat NGU technology will function in orbit – Solving the Kessler Syndrome

    “Kessler Syndrome is a nightmare space scenario in which the number of satellites and orbital debris is so high that collisions occur, each one generating more and more space debris and, in turn, cascading collisions.”

    Imagine a squadron the orbiting unmanned ships whose mission is to collect space junk. The space junk would be vaporized, turned into plasma, and shot into space (exceeding the Earth’s escape velocity), or shot into the Earth’s atmosphere where it would be absorbed or otherwise neutralized, or used to propel the ship to its next collection opportunity.

    Such a ship would require a moderate amount of power for a long time, a decade or so. An ideal application of NGU technology.

    AR – make it happen!

  211. Andrea Rossi

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    Maybe, in future,

    Dr. Rossi,
    You mentioned that domestic ECats will be plug-and-go, could you provide advance pictures, sometime soon for us?

    Best wishes,

  213. Andrea Rossi

    WaltC:
    Yes,

  214. Pedro Ramirez

    Dr Rossi,
    Question:
    Are you in contact with the persons that have been able to reproduce the zero point energy after studying the paper
    http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
    ?

  215. Andrea Rossi

    Pedro Ramirez:
    Yes,
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  216. Calle H

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    It will soon be 2 months since the successful Latina test (once again congratulations to that achievement). Following the test your conclusion was enough of demonstrations, time to focus on manufacturing and distribution. I think many of us are eager to go ahead with our application projects awaiting the NGUs we have ordered. In this context, are you confident with your progress of manufacturing and distribution development? so that one can start investing money and time while waiting for delivery? Thank you if you can answer.

    Kind regards,
    Calle H

  217. Andrea Rossi

    Calle H:
    DISCLAIMER
    I am optimist, but I want also to be clear about an important point: until we do not start the deliveries I strongly suggest everybody not to spend money in expenses derived from the expectation that we will deliver the Ecat; all the persons that sent a pre-order must not make any expenses based on the expectation that we will turn his pre-order into a regular order, until we contact him to inform him that we are ready to turn his not binding pre-order into a binding regular order.
    This said, I am optimist, but I want not to have liabilitis if for any unexpected reason we could be not able to deliver: this is the reason for which we do not want to receive any money from the pre-orders senders.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  218. Anastasia Colbert

    How can I order an Ecat NGU ?

  219. Andrea Rossi

    Anastasia Colbert:
    The sole way to pre-order an Ecat is go to
    http://www.ecatorder.com
    fill up and sign the pre-order form and send it back.
    We will deliver only pre-orders made this way,
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  220. Wilfried

    Dear Andrea,

    You said that the E-Cat is not yet certified for mobile operation. However, it has passed the Latina test, so it is suitable for mobile operation.

    Is there a technical reason why the E-Cat is not yet certified for mobile operation, or has it simply not happened yet?

    Could I apply for special approval for a 3 kW E-Cat from the TÜV in Germany, so that the E-Cat is installed and goes into charging mode whenever the vehicle is switched off?

    Best regards
    Wilfried

  221. Andrea Rossi

    Wilfried:
    The Latina test has been performed inside a racetrack not in public roads, therefore also a non certified prototype has the possibility to race, respecting the rules of the racetrack: for example, we paid to reserve the whole day of September 27th to the race of the 2 Twizyes, with nobody else in the track, without public, with exception of invited persons, and with a security service to forbid the entrance to not invited persons.
    The situation is completely different in public roads. We surely will obtain a certification for this, with a long and very expensive process that for a single person for just one car would be a nonsense. Besides, we will sell the mobile applications only to a massive market, for obvious reasons, and at that point the Ecat for mobile applications must have the necessary certifications.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  222. Prof

    Dr Rossi,
    Here are the new stats of your Researchgate publications I found today on
    http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
    Total Readings: 164000, of which 150534 only for “Ecat SK and Long Range Particle Interactions”, more than all the publications on Researchgate, that are more than 165 million publications.
    And counting…

    Prof:
    Thank you for the update,

  224. Rafal

    Dear Andrea,

    Will it be possible to connect stack of 4 E-Cat NGU (48VDC output) directly to Micro Hybrid Storage Unit like this one?:
    https://www.tsun-ess.com/micro-hybrid-storage-unit.html

    Benefit of such setup is that contrary to typical Micro-Inverter this unit can charge it’s battery from E-Cat over time and allow using it when needed.
    With stack of 4 E-Cats + Micro-Inverter user is limited to 400W of output power. Replacing Micro-inverter with storage unit user can achieve up to 2000W peak power output.
    Additionally this will allow much more efficient E-Cat usage, as unit battery can be charged over night and discharged when needed during the day.
    Will E-Cat stack work correctly with MPPT function which is applied by Hybrid Storage Unit to its VDC input?

  225. Andrea Rossi

    Rafal:
    Thank you of the information: worth to be tested.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  226. Jan Srajer

    Mr. Rossi
    Is the E-CAT-SKL electomagnetically compatible with the environment?
    Warm Regards

  227. Andrea Rossi

    Jan Srajer:
    It depends on the power: domestic Ecats will be plug and go, industrial will need onsite installation.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  228. Jan Šrajer

    Mr.Rossi
    When selling an E-cat, it will be in running condition or will need to be started on site.

    All the best. J.Š

    Hi,Andrea. What my home, and millions like my own, really needs is an E-Cat powered, wall-mounted, boiler to replace the existing gas -powered equivalent which supplies all the hot water currently used in the central heating system,etc. The volumetric size should be comparable.

    1) Have you, to date, been seriously thinking of providing such a suitable and vastly- profitable solution to needs such as mine?

    2) If the answer to the first question is yes, is Leonardo doing any relevant, practical research on this project at this time?

    For myself, the heat pump idea seems to be a patching method rather than an advanced, futuristic-looking solution. Yours would make no noise at all and have no large electrical running expenses. Much to be preferred.

    I would imagine that the buying cost will be no more than any heat pump apparatus and may even be cheaper, since the installation work should be very little by comparison. Also, no special permissions will be required as is the case in my town. Simply a direct swap of one boiler for another in the exact same position.

    A stand-alone ,portable air heater will have its uses but not suitable for my overall needs.

    Thanks for any encouraging reply. Jean Pierre.

  230. Andrea Rossi

    Jean Pierre:
    1. yes
    2. yes

    Dear Andrea,

    I saw your announcement on X today about 150,000 readings of your paper on ResearchGate: https://twitter.com/LeonardoCorpor3/status/1858514022233931832 Congratulations!

    What effect do you think your paper has had on helping generate pre-orders and contracts with big buyers?

    Many thanks,

    Hi Dr Rossi.
    I am hoping to get a response to my question,
    2024-11-16 15:35 LarryG

    Dear Dr. Rossi
    In your Oct 15th interview with Frank you mentioned you thought time to reach your 100MW order goal would be measured in months rather than weeks. Also shortly after the EV tests you confirmed that you had enough inquiries that even if less than half of them turned into orders, you would reach your goal, and recently said that your inquiry rate has very much accelerated since the EV test.
    So its been a month+ since your interview commsent, can you update us please
    1) Do you think the odds are better than 50% that you will reach your order goal this year?
    I fully understand this might be only your gut estimate and not based on statistical analysis of your inquiry/order data, and we will not hold you to it, but am very sure your followers would very much like to get this non-binding estimate.

    Regards
    LarryG

    Massimo: The ecat is not certified for use in navigation
    Warm Rehards,
    A.R.

  237. Steve D

    Dear Andrea Rossi

    Regarding the issue of ecat tilt.

    1) If it was mounted with a tilt but yet stationary and stable would it work?

    2) What are the tilt references we are talking about?

    3) For seafaring travel would it be required that the ecat be subject to gyroscopic stabilisation?

    4) Could the ecat provide its own energy for a gyroscope yet have energy to spare for user operation?

    5) For space travel does tilt have a meaning, once again what are the references?

    6) For users who want to charge their phone or torch while on the move is it satisfactory to simply throw the ecat and device in their bag or backpack?

    Thank you.

  238. Andrea Rossi

    Steve D:
    1. yes
    2. which references are you referring to ?
    3. the Ecat is not certified for seafaring
    4. depends to the power needed by the gyroscope and the power of the Ecat
    5. same as in 3
    6. yes, obviously provided it is turned off
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  239. Dear Andrea
    What future lies ahead? the economy of the world is based on energy exchanges with all the well known good and bad consequences, technology more than science is running faster and faster and there are already warnings of the next big changes that will be difficult to pilot, and your invention is one of them:
    1) Advances in Artificial Intelligence are daily and the highest performing systems will progressively be more and more in the hands of a very few because of the rising costs of operating them, and among these certainly some will not be … benefactors.
    2) Quantum computers promise computational speeds unthinkable for current ones, and after useful and legal applications, surely among the first applications will be decryption of passwords or secret codes that instead of taking months will happen in seconds, and cryptocurrencies will be one of the first targets.
    3) the World do not seem to have noticed your ECAT yet, and all the media continue to talk about fossils, renewables and nuclear fusion as if nothing is changing. And here some thoughts:

    With ECAT, the availability of almost infinite electricity EVERYWHERE without the need for drilling or mining, transportation and distribution will bring enormous benefits but also enormous upheavals in the world economy. Among the positives just think of the reduction in pollution, the almost free availability of fresh water from desalination or purification, the decrease in conflicts over traditional energy resources and a certain leveling of economic availability among all populations, but in the immediate term the negatives of abandoning current energy systems will result in unemployment everywhere to which, if not provided for, very serious social strife will ensue.
    In addition to the honors and the most relevant place in the history of Humanity, you have enormous responsibilities Andrea, and as soon as the industrial production of your systems is confirmed you should make a full-bodied press release with information professionals of the highest caliber illustrating the worldwide changes that your system will produce.
    Thank you.

    Dr Rossi,
    In the paper http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
    is written that Zero Point Energy d transferred to the electrons not in phase: what does “in phase” mean ?

  242. Andrea Rossi

    Anonymous:
    “phase” has many meanings, depending on which context this term is used in.
    In the paper you cited the meaning is the following:
    Coherent ( = IN PHASE ) charge clusers may form compact nuclear aggregates whose coherence determines a reverse difference of Entropy, from which derive minor thermal capacity, minor freedom degrees, and it is this Reverse Difference of Entropy that frees the Zero Point Energy, eventually transferred to the electrons not in phase ( = not coherent with these charge clusters ).
    Please refer to the paragraphs 2,3,4,5 of the paper you cited, wherein this mechanism is explained rigorously. This is the meaning of “phase” in the context of our theoretical hypothesis.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

    Buonasera. Ad integrazione del messaggio del 14/11 integro ciò sul numero di imbarcazioni da diporto attualmente in acqua:A fare una stima precisa a intervalli regolari è infatti l’ICOMIA, l’associazione mondiale dei produttori nautici, che ha tutto l’interesse di sapere come sono distribuite le imbarcazioni da diporto nel mondo. Ebbene, stando ai numeri pubblicati nel 2020 da ICOMIA, nel mondo ci sono ben 33 milioni di
    barche.9 mar 2021. Aggiungo che tutte hanno bisogno di energia quando il motore è spento. Le chiedo: l’ inclinazione ed il movimento ondulatorio inficiano il funzionamento dell’ unità NGU da 100W? Grazie

  244. Ambrogio

    Dr Rossi,
    I made a circuit inspired by the paper
    http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
    and following your direction I studied the paragraphs 2,3,4,5 and I am excited to tell you that I had an increase of Voltage and a gain of watts !!!
    Couls it be zero point energy ?
    Thank you,
    Julian

  245. Andrea Rossi

    Ambrogio:
    I am glad to read that you replicated our test following the paper
    http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
    Yes, from your description I think it is possible you made Zero Point Energy.

    Hello Dr Rossi !
    I read at the white Paper / Integration :

    Solar Power systems: The first official demonstration of an NGU Power Generator adapted
    for direct integration in modern solar systems is scheduled for Q4 2024
    .
    I will hope so..:-)
    Wish you all the power and good look

    following what Wilfried wrote, I’d like to install an E-Cat NGU 1 kW Generator in my electric motorcycle, since it’s a motorcycle an accident with a fall is possible, in addition to a possible non-repairable damage of the E-cat is there any other particular risk? in short, can I replace the e-cat without risking anything else than what I risk with the fall from the motorcycle? …. it has dimensions 25 x 15 x 10 cm, what is the height and the sides of the base ? is it mandatory to install it in only one way (i prefer 25 cm is the height) ?

  248. Wilfried

    Dear Andrea,

    what happens if you start to tilt the E-Cat during operation? Is it switched off at a certain inclination, which one?

    Best regards
    Wilfried

  249. Andrea Rossi

    Wilfried:
    It depends on the specific situation and the violence of the tilt; the manual will recommend not to move the Ecat when it is operating.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.
