    Dear Dr. Rossi,
    if the ecat ssm in EVs work, what do you reckon about the future necessary size of batteries?
    Surely they could be much smaller if enough ecats are built-in. Maybe you could mention a needed minimum capacity of the battery, 10 kwh? or much less?

    Dear Andrea,
    i think the batteries, because they are heavy, expensive and not clean, are the real problem of an Electric Vehicle.
    So, if your october test will success ( and we all hope so), next step will be the e cat pack charging supercapacitors bank, and all the problems of each EV will be resolved.
    Warm regards

    Domenico Canino:
    We already have capacitors between the Ecat and the battery of the EV, to balance the interactions with the EV’s battery, but the EV’s battery is necessary to be compatible with the electric propulsor,

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Yet another SKLep SSM idea

    How about a commercial submarine tug that transports large cylinders of LN2 from the United States to Europe? The tug would tow a long line of 20m diameter by 100m long cylinders, up to a total of 10 such cylinders each filled with LN2. At a depth of 30m to 100m, there would be no wave action. SKLep SSM units would power the tug submarine and each cylinder would have internal SKLep SSM technology to keep the LN2 cold. At the destination, the tug submarine would drop off the string of cylinders and transport empty ones back to the US for refilling. The return trip could carry cargo from Europe to the US. Trips under the polar ice cap could also be done. This LN2 capacity would be greater than any current LN2 surface cargo ship.

    One depth would be assigned for eastbound and another depth for westbound traffic.

    1. Is the Ecat SKLed safe against falling from 1m
    2. Will Ecat SKLed still work at 9V?

    Mr.Rossi
    I tried to compare the amount of lithium between E-catSKLep100W and Lion battery Tesla type 4680 according to datasheets.
    E-catSKLep100W = 10g lithium and Lion 4680/100W = 65g lithium. The ratio is therefore 65/10=6.5 favorable for the E-catSKLep100W. At the same time, the lifetime of the Lion battery 4680 is limited, while the E-catSKLep100W can be in operation for decades. For one electric car with E-catSKLep100kW, 10 kg of lithium will be needed, instead of 65 kg with Lion battery 4680.
    In the future, 1 billion electric cars will require 10 million tons of lithium. There are currently 30 million tons of lithium in the world.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Yet another possible SKLep SSM application – Autonomous Cargo Aircraft

    Pyka has their Pelican Cargo aircraft. It is an Autonomous Cargo Aircraft. It features a 200 Miles range (with 20-minute reserve time), up to 100kW of electric motor power, and a 50 kW-hr onboard battery, and a cruise speed of 60 – 67 knots.

    Assuming a 50 kW-Hr battery and a 200 mile range, the electric efficiency is 250 W-hrs/mile. the flight speed of 60 to 70 knots converts to 69 to 81 miles per hour.

    Therefore, the average charging requirements are 250 W-hrs/mile times up to 81 miles per hour or about 20 kW.

    The battery system is triple-redundant so the current 50 kW-hrs of battery capacity can be divided into 3 units of 17 kW-hrs each. If each 17 kW-hr battery subsystem was cut in 1/2 to about 8 kW-hrs, the removed 9 kW-hrs of battery could be replaced by a 7 kW SKLep SSM unit.

    The battery components would provide power during take-off and climbing. The SKLep SSM would continuously charge the battery units.

    This would result in longer range, no ground time for recharging the batteries or the need to have replacement charged batteries at the destination.

    Thoughts?

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Yet another application for SKLep SSM Technology

    “Ultra Long Duration Balloons (ULDB) balloons or superpressure balloons (SPB) are sealed to prevent helium loss and have a pumpkin shape at flight altitude.[1] The SPB TRAVALB-2 surpassed previous Antarctic balloon flights by staying aloft for 149 Days, 3 hours, and 58 minutes after launch from the NASA Long Duration Balloon (LDB) site at LDB Camp, McMurdo Station, Antarctica. The operation was supported by National Science Foundation and United States Antarctic Program. [2] After the Travalb-1 launch abort, the Travalb-2 lifted off on 29 December 2019 to test NASA balloon trajectory predictions in Antarctica and to study electron losses from Earth’s radiation belts” – Wikipedia

    An SKLep SSM system could provide power for propulsion and communications. Extremely long duration high-altitude measurements could be made for a very long time.

    Dear Andrea,
    out of curiosity I asked ChatGPT for a global scenario two years after the introduction of Ecat.
    Here the result:

    **My Question:**
    Could you create a scenario set two years after the announcement of the discovery of a device, the Ecat, which is capable of producing infinite energy at very low cost and can replace the batteries of electric cars and all other electrical devices? I am particularly interested in the global economic, social, and industrial repercussions.

    **ChatGpt response:**
    Certainly! Here’s a scenario set two years after the announcement of the discovery of the Ecat, a device capable of producing infinite energy at very low cost:

    **Scenario: The Post-Ecat World**

    **Industrial Revolution:**
    After the introduction of the Ecat to the global market, there has been a revolution in the energy industry. Traditional power plants have seen a sharp decline as fossil energy sources became obsolete. Energy companies had to realign their activities toward managing and implementing the Ecat, while many oil and gas extraction and production companies faced an economic crisis.

    **Environmental Sustainability:**
    The widespread use of the Ecat has led to a significant reduction in carbon emissions. Electric cars have become more affordable and prevalent, accelerating the transition to sustainable mobility. Cities have become cleaner, and climate change has seen a significant downturn, although challenges remain.

    **Economic Inequality:**
    While the Ecat has made energy accessible at minimal costs, it hasn’t necessarily eliminated economic inequality. Some nations, especially those with abundant traditional energy resources, have suffered a significant loss of revenue, leading to greater polarization between resource-rich and economically disadvantaged nations.

    **Industrial Changes:**
    Sectors such as battery manufacturing, renewable energy, and fossil fuels have undergone radical transformations. Many companies sought to adapt, for instance, by shifting their focus toward new energy storage technologies or investing in advanced applications of the Ecat.

    **Social Changes:**
    The transition to the Ecat has raised awareness about the importance of sustainability and responsible resource management. Governments and international organizations have collaborated to regulate the use of the Ecat and ensure equitable energy distribution.

    **Conclusion:**
    The advent of the Ecat has triggered unprecedented economic, social, and industrial changes. While it has opened new opportunities for sustainability and emissions reduction, it has also raised questions about energy distribution and global inequalities. The transition to this new energy era continues to present unique challenges and opportunities for the global community.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    It has now been over fourteen years since you demonstrated the new abundant energy source to the general public. Initially, you did so with rather modest yet convincing experimental setups, and later with both large and small reactors, all fundamentally tapping into energy from the universe in a similar manner.

    We are all aware, from both past and recent history, that those in power in this world and the custodians of great wealth often pay little heed to what is good or bad for humanity and, by extension, our planet. Several hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of deaths due to hunger, deprivation, and even direct violence seem to have little impact on the exercise of power and the principles of established orders. This system, of course, relies on the choices individuals make for themselves in their daily lives and in setting their own priorities: their own homes and habitats, their own incomes, daily living comforts, and financial well-being are the true religions that overshadow other humane, intellectual, and spiritual values on various scales. This holds true in both very poor and wealthy countries. The prevailing mindset among large segments of the population continues to prevail.

    It is therefore with mixed feelings that I observe an almost endless supply of energy fails to stir people’s minds sufficiently, while, ironically, an electric car that can recharge itself is seen as if it were manna from heaven, destined to lead us, poor humanity, to a world of unlimited mobility.

    With the energy of the E-Cat, we will undoubtedly be able to power a fishing fleet capable of catching every species in the ocean, down to the last individual. We will also be able to transport every potato that can grow or products made by the poorest slave in the world around the Earth. This is, of course, not your problem or responsibility. It is the responsibility of both the collective of people and the leaders who have the real power to foster the development of such concepts or, conversely, to sabotage them.

    Do you have the impression, especially in preparation for the upcoming presentation and demonstration, that the world is now more receptive to your invention and gradually ready to accept it?

    With grateful regards,
    Koen

    Mr. Rossi
    I wonder if these technology questions will come up in October: is electric car modification affordable? Can the control module respond to immediate changes in current consumption or, conversely, recuperation of energy into the battery? Is the operating temperature from -10°C to +40°C acceptable? How much will the price of an electric car rise? I am curious about the professional questions of the onlookers.

    Warm Regards J.Š

  34. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Remember, the SKLep SSM does not need to work perfectly. It only needs to provide the same or more energy than what the EV battery discharges over the demonstration time period.

    Because you are using the EV battery system, you could have errors/events that include:

    a. The need to restart the SKLep SSM system many times during the demonstration. So long as the EV Battery system is fully charged at the end of the demonstration.
    b. The need to manually turn on and off the SKLep SSM during the demonstration. So long as the EV Battery system is fully charged at the end of the demonstration.
    c. Some of the SKLep SSM energy supplying components fail during the demonstration. So long as the EV Battery system is fully charged at the end of the demonstration.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Obviously, high speed would take less track time. However, you might want to consider having the EVs travel at normal highway speeds. In the US on the interstate highways, that is likely in the 75 to 80 mph range.

    A reduced speed would decrease the likelihood of a car part failure (tires, etc.).

    As you have posted, you are not trying to set a record, only demonstrate the effect.

    Also, cabin temperature control (air conditioning or heating) should be identical in both cars. Windows shut on both. Identical tires. Weight the same. Identical models and options. Different car exterior colors are fine.

    I posted “How stable is the SKLep SSM system — any times where it failed to operate?” and you responded yes.

    I realize that failures are normal in testing during system development. Occurrence of failures are a normal part of development. Are you concerned at all regarding failure during the actual demonstration?

    Hi Dr Rossi

    As the ECAT will be connected to the car, will it be possible to have a mockup, or a secondary Ecat to view so that the media and live streamers can see the size of the ecat which has been inserted into the EV?

    This could be just to look at.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    On the EV powered by an SKLep SSM project —

    1. have you achieved a successful test wherein you have been able to retain or improve the EV battery system state of charge while driving a moving EV?
    2. does the SKLep SSM control system control the charging so the EV battery system is not over-charged (charged beyond 100%)?
    3. How stable is the SKLep SSM system — any times where it failed to operate?

    Mr.Rossi
    The presentation drive is not only about demonstrating the operability, but also about the advertising time, which tends to be long. Therefore, it is a good idea to plan your journey by electric car with these two aspects in mind.
    After all, the driving time can be changed operationally, according to the demand of the onlookers.
    All the best J.Š.

    Regards

  74. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Jean Paul Renoir,

    Good words and thoughts. The implementation lies in the details.

    If we assume a modern EV with a full range of 200 – 300 miles, and an average speed of 100 mph, then the EV (without the SKLep SSM unit) will be exhausted in 2 – 3 hours. A slower speed will, obviously, take more time to exhaust the battery system. If the EV, equipped with the SKLep SSM unit, has a battery reading of still 100%, then the trolls would say the battery indicator was faked. So, to negate that objection, the EV with the SKLep SSM unit should be run some additional distance and time — perhaps the double the total distance as compared to the EV without the SKLep SSM unit?

    As previously mentioned, the two EVs should be identical in every sense. Their gross weight should be the same. Additional mass should be added to the non-SKLep SSM equipped vehicle. They should be driven on the same track, at the same time, yet separated far enough apart to preclude a claim of “drafting”, and at the same speed.

  75. Andrea Rossi

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    Thank you for your suggestions.
    The certified measurement of the SOC ( State Of Charge ) will not be made by the indicator onboard the car; it will be made independently from a Third Party expert of the art with specialistic instrumentation that he normally uses in a vast variety of electric vehicles.
    Yes, the 2 EV will run at half track of distance from each other.
    About the trolls, they will say their usual B.S. whatever we do: too bad.
    Good idea to add to the EV without Ecat a mass equal to the Ecat system ( which is very complex ).
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  76. Jean Paul Renoir

    Dr Rossi,
    Why are you making a 10 hours demo ?
    Nobody will follow a 10 hours demo, either in streaming or in presence, and it is completely useless too.
    If we will see two twin E.V., certified to be same model, one powered by the Ecat, the other only by its regular battery, if when the E.V. powered with the regular battery stops after 2 or three hours because its SOC (= residual charge) is = 0% and the regular battery of the E.V. charged by the Ecat has an SOC = 100 %, the issue is over. You will win, period.
    A streaming of 2 hours will be view with high attention, like a movie, or a normal cars race.
    The result will be clear: with the Ecat the E.V. battery remains charged, without the Ecat it gets void. Period. You won.
    I suggest to put multiple cameras that cover all the circuit for all the time, so no hidden spot remains not even for a second, and be sure that the measurement of the SOC, both at the start and at the end of the race, is made by an independent party, because that is the core of all.
    Good luck,
    JPR

    I too agree with you, but I think that also 5 hours could be acceptable, not more. Anyway, if the battery of the Ecat powered car will be full at the same moment in which the car without Ecat stops because its battery is void , for me it’s enough,

    Dear Readers,
    what belongs to ecat ssm for use at home. First is would make the most sense to use the ecat directly for electric heating. Also with washing machine, drier, water kettle and all things who need much power. It would be nice to have a solution for refridgerators because they need 2-5(?) times of power to start the apparatus. Maybe with a little battery? But i am sure the market will deliver solutions sooner or later.
    Dr. Rossi should focus to the increase of production, not dissipate his energies in every detail.
    Best regards

    @Andreas:
    Yes, I live in Germany. 🙂
    My goal is to supply our house with E-Cat. For this purpose, inverters and batteries are to be installed, just like connecting a photovoltaic system. Instead of the PV modules, I would then like to use E-Cat in an appropriate series and parallel connection. Possibly I would like to design the battery and E-Cats in such a way that I can also charge a car.

    Best regards

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Yet another SKLep SSM application

    SpaceX is developing the Starship, which consists of a Starship and a Heavy Booster. Takeoff propellant mass is rated at 1,200 Metric Tonnes. About 78% of the propellant mass is LOX — Liquid Oxygen.

    Oxygen can be obtained from the air. So, local production would be possible for LOX. On the other hand, Liquid Methane would likely continue to be trucked to the launch site and stored there.

    Truck transportation will be reduced as only the Liquid Methane will need to be transported which is about 22% of the entire propellant requirement.

    Commercial LOX produces require about 3.6 MW-hrs of electrical energy to produce one Metric Tonne of LOX.

    If we assume a production launch schedule on one Starship every 24 hours from a single site, then the LOX production locally (for one Starship launch) would require:

    1,200 Metric Tonnes * 0.78% * 3.6 MW-hrs/Metric Tonne or about 140 MW of electrical power per 24-hour period.

    Likewise, if we assume each Starship will have a 100 Metric Tonne payload and the 1 million Metric Tonnes are required to be transported to Mars, and further assuming a 3-year interval between the closest approaches of Earth and Mars (unmanned Starships don’t care long it takes to travel to Mars from the Earth), a total of 10,000 launches will be required over a three-year period, or about 10 launches per day.

    With this assumption, then 10 such 140MW power systems would be required. This is just for LOX production needs. This requirement alone would meet your goal of 1 million 100W SKLep units.

    This does not say that SpaceX will need to manufacture 10,000 Starship and Heavy Booster units. In situ fuel production is envisioned on Mars and, if this happens, then some Starships will return to Earth. The Heavy Boosters are reusable, so a fewer number of Boosters will be required as they never leave the Earth. The Boosters will be limited by the number of flights they can safely perform.

    Dear Andreas, Dear Readers,

    it is very obvious that family homes will be a good application for E-Cats.

    However, there is one technical detail that complicates the easy installation:

    In many European countries, installations with hybrid 3-phase inverters prevail (e.g. in existing PV installations).

    These 3-phase hybrid inverters have a fairly high starting voltage at the input (strings): 200 Volts at Solax, 180 Volts at GoodWe etc.

    So it is necessary to connect 18 pieces of E-Cat in series in order to achieve the necessary starting voltage for the inverters: 18×12 V = 216 V

    Since many houses will need less power than 1.8 kW (18 pcs of E-Cats), DC-to-DC Step-Up converters will be needed, and therein lies the problem. Common types can convert from 12 V to 24 V or 48 V or 56 V, which still causes complications.

    Dear Dr. Rossi, may you advise readers here on a suitable model of a DC-to-DC converter, where the output voltage would be higher than 200 V or another suitable solution how to connect less than 18 pcs of E-Cats into 3-phase hybrid inverter with starting voltage 200 V?

    And one more question, since there will be a lot of interested parties for installations in family homes and industries, do you have a supplier that will sell cables where one end will have connectors suitable for E-Cat and the other end of the cable will have a standard MC4 connector for inverters?

    This would make practical marketing and installations much easier.

    Have A Nice Day

    @Andreas

    I have already installed such a system at my home, currently with two solar panels. The system is registered as a balcony power plant with battery storage.
    As soon as the ecats are available, I will replace the solar panels. The system is running, but there are still some questions.
    If you want to contact me, please have a look at preschel.eu/impressum

  88. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Andreas,

    Your conceptual system will work on your average daily consumption but you will likely need Grid power to handle peak power requirements. As I understand your proposed concept, the SKLep units provide power to the batteries on a continuous basis. So, 5 x 100W of SKLep units will deliver 500 Watts or 12 kW-hrs in a single day. The battery charging conversion efficiency is likely around 80%, so the net daily charging will be about 9.6 kW-hrs per day.

    If your residence used AC power, then you will need units to convert the battery power to safe AC power. By safe power, I include the requirement to automatically detect a Grid power outage and the removal of power going to the grid. This is to keep safe Grid maintenance people working on the Grid system. The battery-to-AC conversion system must be sized to handle peak and inductive AC loads (air conditions, motors, etc.).

    My suggestion to AR was to replace the solar panel power that would usually feed such a battery system with SKLep provided power as the battery system would be normally required to perform the necessary safety functions mentioned above.

  89. Andreas

    @Steven Nicholes Karels

    Regarding your suggestion for combining the ECAT with a battery system, I have exactly that in mind. For my situation (Family House with 4 Persons, around 10KWh power comsumption a day) i would order 5 100W ECATs and combine them with an 5-10KWh LIFEPO4 Battery System. I didn´t calculate this exactly, just rough numbers.

    Maybe we can create some group for discussing such setups as i guess there are more people who are not experts in this field like me.

    @Wilfried do I assume right that based on your name you are from Germany like me ?

    Best regards,
    Andreas

  90. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    There are several existing companies that provide Power Walls or the equivalent. Essentially accepting Solar Panel power, when it is available, and charging or discharging battery systems that handle inductive loads and peak demands. Consider a SKLep unit or units that drive such a system. The SKLep unit would only need to power the AVERAGE load, while the battery system would provide power all the time, handling peak power and charging when in the low demand times.

    This would reduce the number and the cost of SKLep units. Excess SKLep generate power (when the batteries are full) could be sold back to the electrical grid.

    Thoughts?

    Dear Dr. Rossi
    Here’s a link to Nissan selling used EV batteries as power packs:
    Nissan Starts Selling Portable Power Source With Old Leaf EV Batteries (msn.com)
    Add some ECATs and you’ve got a continuous portable power supply with high peak power capability. This is a consumer product, useable in the home and out in the wild.
    Why do I think this is important? ……….. You need a market niche that will have fast consumer acceptance and use up your early small production capacity to kick start your business. EV’s are not going to do this for you since automotive industry takes at least two years to properly validate a new technology for cars.
    Why do I say small production capacity?………….., after all a million 100W ECATS per year sounds pretty big, right? According to
    Energy Production and Consumption – Our World in Data https://ourworldindata.org/energy-production-consumption
    the world used 2000 TWh more every year on average for 2012 to 2022, which is greater than 2e12 watts 24/7/365 . So if the ECAT were to supply just the increase in demand every year, and had no impact of the huge installed energy infrastructure, at 100W full time for a year for the 100W ECAT, this means 2e10 ECATs, which is 20,000 million. You need to increase production to 200 million 100W equivalents per year to reach even 1% of the world’s yearly increase in demand. This is tens of billions of dollars factory costs.

    PS I would appreciate someone confirming my arithmetic.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    The US Government is planning to require energy efficiency improvements in ceiling fans.

    In the US, residential ceiling fans operate on 120VAC, 60 Hz power. Their usual power consumption is between 10W and 90W. Consider adding a 10W SKLep SSM unit driving a safety circuit chip that takes the DC power from the SKLep SSM module and converts it to 120VAC, in-phase 60 Hz power. This could run 24/7 all the time. To maximize energy savings, two power lines would be required. One line ties to the circuit breaker and power is drawn into the unit or excess power is sent to the circuit breaker. The other line goes to the wall switch that enables the ceiling fan to operate – turns the ceiling fan on or off.

    Alternatively, the SKLep SSM could only operate when AC power is applied to the unit.

    Thoughts?

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Thank you for the clarification on integration with EV battery systems. Yes, you will definitely need the collaboration with each EV manufacturer on how to integrate with each model, and perhaps, with certain serial numbers. This is a daunting task that is placed before you.

    My original question was for electric motors in general.
    1. Is a battery always required?
    2. If the motor is small and simple, so that it effectively is a resistive load, will a battery still be required?
    3. If so, is the requirement for start-up, regenerative issues, or handling motor speed variations?
    4. Could the battery function be replaced by a capacitor, assuming the ESR and the capacitance were acceptable?

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    From you previous posting about a battery being required when the load is an electric motor…

    1. May we assume that all implementations that drive an electric motor will need to consider if a battery is required?
    2. May we assume that all implentations that drive a purely resistive load will not require a battery, but could contain a battery if the design so required it?

  152. Andrea Rossi

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    The battery of the EV as a buffer is necessary because of the complex electronics that manage the specific electric engine.
    To connect the Ecat to the battery of the EV demands complex electronics.
    The electronic system necessary for a specific EV may not suit another model of EV, depending on the specific battery management system, therefore the serial application to every specific model will demand a collaboration between the manufacturer and our Team.

    I was reflecting on the outcomes following a successful demonstration.
    If I grasp the situation correctly, technical YouTubers with a focus on the automotive sector will be engaged.
    However, my apprehension stems from the potential insufficiency of this approach to effectively promote your invention on a broader scale.

    The concern lies in the fact that the YouTube platform is inundated with unsubstantiated claims related to perpetual motion machines and miraculous generators.
    Should Ecat be exclusively showcased there, it runs the risk of becoming lost amidst a sea of rubbish.
    This scenario would essentially equate to disregarding all the effort and years of dedication you’ve invested.

    From my standpoint, it’s of utmost importance to involve, or even prioritize the inclusion of persons whose
    endorsement alone holds the power to catapult an invention into instantaneous success!

    Hello A. Rossi
    My wife’s car consumes about 25 Kwh per 100 km (about 62 miles) on the highway at 130 km/h (about 81 Mph). This gives an hourly consumption of 25X1.3 = 32.5 Kwh/h.
    To keep the battery charged at this speed requires a generator with a power higher than this consumption.
    An E-Cat of this power has a volume of several suitcases and a certain weight.
    My question is: Did you manage to fit your generator in the trunk of the car or did you have to remove the back seat to find enough space?
    Best regards and all my respect

  173. Dr. Rossi,

    You stated that you are not yet in partnership with the manufacturer of the demo vehicle. I also assume that you looked at several potential vehicles and found more than one suitable for use with the E-Cat, though you chose only one for the demo.

    Once you have completed the demo do you think that:

    1. You will be free to release the names of the other vehicles you have found suitable for use with the E-Cat (that is, you will not be restricted to do so by partners).

    2. You will release the names of the other vehicles you have found suitable.

    Dr. Rossi,
    Perhaps it’s still too early, but imagination and hopes are galloping.
    The time will soon come when Ecat UPS power units will be available for sale to accompany or replace the batteries of electric cars.
    There are millions of such cars in the world that will no longer need recharging or charging stations.
    And there will be no need for the generators that power such charging stations.
    And tons of CO2 won’t be emitted due to these recharges.

    And these generators with appropriately sized Ecat systems could power millions of households or individual utilities in isolated locations.
    Others could power ships, planes, trains and so on.
    And it will be possible to economically desalinate sea water.
    And the consumption of fossil fuels will be greatly reduced, with a consequent reduction of pollution and CO2 in the atmosphere.
    Everything that now runs on electricity will be powered by energy supplied by Ecat.

    Is it fantasy? Is it science fiction? A marvelous future reality?
    We only have to wait until October 2023 to have the answer.

    Best Regards,
    Italo R.

    Dr. Rossi,
    What is the simplest and most effective way to show the “public” the values of the driving parameters of the two cars?
    Surely you have already thought about it, and my proposal is certainly superfluous, I apologize for saying useless things.
    The dashboard of each EV already shows the main parameters: speed, distance traveled and, above all, the instantaneous state of charge of its battery.
    Therefore, there is no need to invent new instruments to detect these values of the car’s internal circuits.
    It is simply sufficient to put a camera on each of the two cars that looks at the dashboard and transmit these videos on a suitable monitor to be connected in streaming.

    Kind Regards,
    Italo R.

    Dear Andrea,

    It is well known that 80% emotion and 20% facts work in communication. Therefore, I suggest to take this into account when streaming the project day, even if it might be a bit time-consuming.
    I suggest streaming in 4k 60fps on YT, whereby the format is composed of 4 times 1080p transmissions.
    At the top left, technical data of the two vehicles is shown continuously in real time, side by side. Perhaps smaller streams from the on-board cameras of the two vehicles can also be shown. At the top, a headline should make clear in a few words what the video is about, e.g. Livestream E-Cat in EV by Leonardo Corporation Oct/15/2023.
    At the top right is the actual video stream with sound. I suggest that a moderator and a camera accompany the whole day.
    The two lower areas are used to insert cameras or pictures, depending on the context of the presentation.
    Data that could be inserted at the top left:
    Time
    Battery charge status
    Temperatures of batteries
    Speeds
    Distances travelled
    Total driving times
    Power output of the E-Cat

  197. Italo R.

    Dr. Rossi, I asked ChatGpt the following information:

    To measure the remaining electric charge of a lithium-ion battery in an electric car, you can use the following methods:

    1-Vehicle Charge Indicator: Many electric cars have a dashboard indicator that displays the estimated percentage of remaining charge. This is a simple and convenient way to get a general idea of the battery’s state of charge.

    2-Manufacturer’s App: Some electric car manufacturers provide mobile apps that allow you to monitor the battery’s state of charge and other parameters. These apps offer detailed information about the battery’s status.

    3-OBD-II Diagnostic Tools: Certain OBD-II diagnostic scanners can provide data about the battery’s health and state of charge. Mechanics often use these tools to analyze overall vehicle performance.

    4-Voltmeter: If you have access to the battery terminals, you can use a voltmeter to measure the battery’s voltage. However, voltage alone may not give an accurate indication of the remaining charge, as voltage can be influenced by factors like temperature and discharge current.

    5-Ammeter: In some cases, an ammeter can measure the current flowing out of the battery while the car is running. This can give you an estimate of the battery’s state of charge based on current and usage time.

    6-Cell Balancing Tools: For certain lithium-ion batteries, you can use cell balancing tools. These tools measure the voltage of each individual cell and provide a more precise indication of the battery’s state of charge.

    7-Professional Diagnostic Tools: Authorized service centers or specialized mechanics can use advanced diagnostic tools to gather detailed data about the battery’s status and the vehicle’s electrical system.

    Keep in mind that the remaining battery charge is just one factor affecting an electric car’s actual range. Temperature, driving habits, and other variables can significantly impact the real-world driving range.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    I made a previous post involving the lateral acceleration experienced by the occupants of a vehicle during a turn. My posting was meant to make you aware of the effect on high lateral acceleration on the driver and any passengers.

    When combined with high speed, and a closed track, turns will generate lateral acceleration, even with sloped pavement. Some tracks have reported drivers experiencing dizziness because of lateral accelerations caused by turns and high speeds.

    An alternative is to quickly slow down when approaching a turn, and then accelerating out of the turn. This, in turn, may cause brake overheating and brake wear.

    So, something for you to consider.

    Thoughts?

    Dr. Rossi,
    Numerous suggestions have been put forth regarding the execution of the demonstration. I’d like to propose a simple yet highly effective approach that would also help reduce the overall duration.

    Equip each car with a transmitter that displays the real-time charge level of their respective batteries.
    During the demonstration, project these charge levels onto a video display along with a timer (hh:mm:ss). Additionally, showcasing the corresponding speed values would be beneficial.
    The key advantage of this system lies in its ability to eliminate the need for waiting hours to compare the two cars. Instead, you would immediately observe the distinct battery charge values, which would begin to diverge – one gradually decreasing, while the other remains predominantly constant.

    My Best Regards,
    Italo R.

  206. Andrea Rossi

    Italo R.:

  207. DrLG

    Dr. Rossi, you and your team probably have put a lot of thought into what speed to run the EV ECAT test at. Please consider this scenario in your analysis and speed selection:
    1) Run the cars at fastest safe speed. This will deplete both batteries at fastest rate, but since the ECAT EV will get some of its power from the ECATs, it will not be fully depleted when the control car has to stop. This minimizes the time to control car stopping. It is also less efficient (more energy per km needed) when running at faster speeds.
    2) Once the control car is forced to stop, slow the ECAT car down so the driving energy consumption is less than the charge rate.
    3) At some point the ECAT car will again be fully charged.

    This would probably reflect real world implementation of the ECAT into EV vehicles, just very dramatically….at high acceleration or short bursts of high speed, a lot of the power will come from the batteries, which will get recharged when the car energy consumption falls back to a level lower than the ECAT supply rate. Same for many applications with batteries…surge energy demands are supplied by the battery which gets recharged during lower power periods.

    But it will make the ECAT “energy bunny” side by side comparison more dramatic, and you need all the “flash” you can get in this demo.

    Analysis of the lateral acceleration of the EV during the demonstration

    Speed (or velocity)

    Assume 100 miles per hour based on a typical battery range of 200 to 300 miles and a run time (max to discharge) of 2 to 3 hours.

    Lateral acceleration (a) = velocity squared / radius.

    100 mph = 44.7 meters per second.

    Gravitational constant = 9.8 m/second squared

    Case 1. Assume the 1,600 meters is the circumference of a circular track.
    If so, then the radius = 254 meters
    a = 7.9 m/second squared or 80% of one g.

    Case 2: Assume 1,600 meters is the diameter. The radius = 800m.
    a = 2.5 m/second squared or 25% of one g.

    Case 3: Assume 1,600 meters = the radius of a circular track.
    a = 1.23 m/second squared or 12% of one g.

    Note: for passenger vehicles the lateral acceleration is recommended to be less than 10% (at high speed) and 17% (at low speed).

    Conclusion: This is not a ride for non-professional drivers to be a passenger.

    Thoughts?

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    In a previous post, you stated:
    “1600 m, about 1760 yards.”

    1. Is this the diameter of the track or the total length of the track?
    2. If the unmodified EV will exhaust it battery system in 2 – 3 hours and the typical range is 200 – 300 miles, does this mean the average speed will be 100 mph?

  224. Andrea Rossi

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Some suggestions on the EV demonstration.

    I understand that you have exclusive access to the racetrack between 7 AM and 7 PM local time.

    1. I suggest that both EVs be at the same State of Charge some hours before the demo start time.
    2. Then charge each EV to 100%, recording the charging time and the total amount of energy supplied. This could be done simultaneously or sequentially.
    3. Allow time to connect the SKLep SSM unit to the special EV including time for testing and verification.
    4. Begin the demonstration testing with one minute (approximately) separation between cars – to avoid claims of drafting.
    5. Each car is to run the same average speed.
    6. At the end of the demonstration, perform post-testing and examinations on both EVs.
    7. Then disconnect the SKLep SSM unit from the special EV and verify the configuration change by examination and testing.
    8. Drive the special EV (now without the SKLep SSM Unit) until energy exhaustion.
    9. Document everything.

    Thoughts?
