Dear Dr Rossi,
When you say that the COP of the SKLed is about 8, do you mean that this was calculated over the total consumption of the whole SKLed (4 W) or only over the part of the reactor plus the LED (2 W), without the electronics (2 W). This would finally be the difference between 16 W or 32 W output.
Thank you for your reply,
Brice
Brice:
Should be on the whole consume of the SKLed.

Dear Andrea, dear Colleagues,
I suddenly found an interesting article “LENR: pseudoscience or scientific revolution ?” for your attention. It is available on the main page https://strana-rosatom.ru and direct link https://strana-rosatom.ru/2021/10/12/lenr-lzhenauka-ili-nauchnaya-revoljuciya/
Its significance lies in the fact that this newspaper is the official publication of Rosatom and, therefore, such a powerful energy Russian company as Rosatom drew attention to alternative energy sources based on LENR, despite the financing of projects like ITER.
The article is short and it briefly discusses such issues as the emergence of LENR, the state of the problem, transmutation of elements, theories, the ECat and products for sale and others. Now it begins to appear at other web-sites in particular on http://www.lenr.seplm.ru
It is of course in Russian. But if needed I or somebody else can translate it into English and create a link.
Best regards,

Dear Andrea,
A recent post on E-Cat World noted the publication of a new paper by Oliver Consa on arXiv: Something is wrong in the state of QED.
This new paper is an update based on previous papers, concerning the value of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron (g-factor), the paper clearly lays out the step by step history of the interplay between the experimenters and the theoreticians, how theoreticians were influenced by the test results of the time, how the experimenters published values with wide tolerance bounds to include the published theoretical predictions of the time, the interplay and re-examination of previous work explaining how the official g-factor value has been adjusted up and down over the years, how the value has evolved to become the current accepted value, how the precise determining of this value has been used as a keystone for the validity of QED. However as Oliver Consa notes; “An examination of the history of QED reveals that this value was obtained in a very suspicious way.”
This paper is essential reading to understand how the current state of physics has been influenced by historical experiments.
The progress of physics, the determination of equations, the values used, and how each verification experiment relates to the previous can have a long history, the following is from a Caltech 1974 commencement address given by Richard P. Feynman:
“We have learned a lot from experience about how to handle some of the ways we fool ourselves. One example: Millikan measured the charge on an electron by an experiment with falling oil drops and got an answer which we now know not to be quite right. It’s a little bit off, because he had the incorrect value for the viscosity of air. It’s interesting to look at the history of measurements of the charge of the electron, after Millikan. If you plot them as a function of time, you find that one is a little bigger than Millikan’s, and the next one’s a little bit bigger than that, and the next one’s a little bit bigger than that, until finally they settle down to a number which is higher.
Why didn’t they discover that the new number was higher right away? It’s a thing that scientists are ashamed of — this history — because it’s apparent that people did things like this: When they got a number that was too high above Millikan’s, they thought something must be wrong — and they would look for and find a reason why something might be wrong, when they got a number closer to Millikan’s value they didn’t look so hard, and so they eliminated the numbers that were too far off, and did other things like that. We’ve learned those tricks nowadays, and now we don’t have that kind of a disease.”
Also of interest in the Consa paper is the example given regarding how the Casimir equation was determined, that the equation was determined by a renormalization technique, the use of the Riemann function, the equation works, is known to accurately predict experiments, it is the accepted equation for determining the Casimir effect force per unit area. However as I have previously posted here, maybe it is an approximation when used at the scale of electrons.

Keith Thomson.

Dr. Rossi,
Do you envisage the EcatSKL as a device which can operate independently of a grid connection? Will your demonstration unit do so?
I understand the safety concern in operating the SKL with a power source which, itself, depends upon the operation of the SKL. Intuitively, though, this doesn’t seem like an overwhelming problem. Can you explain the complications that have made it difficult to achieve an EcatSKL which operates independently of the grid?
Looking forward to December (not something I would usually say!).

Dear Andrea,
I hope you can give us some details on the progress on the Ecat SKL.
1. Has it reached a stage that it can be integrated in a product?
2. I guess you will continue to develop it further, on which aspect is your focus?
a. reliability; b. higher output power; c. producibility; d. production cost; e. some other aspect
3. Will it definitely be demonstrated on the 9th of December 2021?
4. Will it be demonstrated in Self Sustaining Operation?
5. Will it be loaded (with lamps, heating elements or something else) to show clearly it is actually producing energy?
I know 9 December is approaching quickly and no doubt will increasingly take more time of you and your team.
The number of visitors to the presentation of the SKLed and SKL will be limited. Is it only open for invitees or can anyone ask for attending this great event?
I wish you good luck in the preparation of the presentation.

Dear Dr Rossi,
There are many small Portable Power Stations currently available on the market which are useful for camping and off-grid supply. They provide mains voltages derived from the stored energy in mobile battery packs, typically using LiFePO4 batteries which are safer than Lithium ion batteries.
A typical unit can provide 240Wh of power at a rating of 200W but units with larger capacity are also available. They provide electrical outputs at 240v AC, 12v DC, and USB connections at 5v DC. These small units are designed to be charged from the mains supply, a 12v vehicle socket, or trickle charged from a solar panel.
I expect that one of these units would easily support multiple Ecat SKLeds.
My questions are:
1. Could one of these units provide sufficient power to an Ecat SKL or Ecat SK for a limited time of operation?
2. If yes, would it be possible to use the electrical output of the Ecat SKL to concurrently charge the same Portable Power Station?
3. If yes, would it be possible to use the electrical output of the Ecat SKL to concurrently charge a separate Portable Power Station?
Many Thanks if you can answer these questions.
I am greatly looking forward to your presentation on 9th December.

@richard wells
SSM is easy to achieve. Just plug the ecatSKL to a powerbank with an outlet of 230 or 110V.
Dear Mr. Rossi,
is the certification process of the ecatSKLed finished and ready?
is the certification process of the ecatSKL still well on the way?
Best regards
Michael
Dear Andra,
if you, as a physicist, look at your theory and then put yourself in the position of a layman, could the Ecat SKL also be called an ambient energy converter?
This against the background that there is no “used” material in the sense of a waste product and yet the second law of thermodynamics is not violated.

@ Brice
Thank you for your comprehensive reply and analysis. There may be not much more to say as it will only be speculation as long as a real SKLed is not available for analysis. I found it interesting to do an Excel sheet exercise from the 10,000 lm and 60 beam angle that was given in the Leonardo ordering specification, as Lumen/m2 is Lux and Lux to photon energy and photon flux density to W/m2 is common grow light calculation, finally arriving at a speculative COP which was exiting as no COP number had been mentioned earlier. I think we all are exited about learning more about the SKLed lamp as well as Andreas other amazing inventions.

@ Gerard McEk
@ Calle H
Thank you for your comments in the posts on October 6. Mats Lewan’s assumption is as likely as the conversion of plasma-UV with phosphors into visible light. I would rather prefer the latter because Rossi told it was a kind of new concept. On the other hand, all phosphors would leak some UV while Rossi’s SKLed is UV-free (maybe a built-in UV-blocker?). In both cases there are phosphors used, blue light with a well known efficient yellow phosphor (Lewan) or UV-light with phosphors to downconvert it into visual light (blue+yellow or red+green+blue or red+cyan (unlikely))..
I thought that Rossi once told that his SKLed produced more than 220 lm/W, while regular 100 W LEDs give 100 lumen/W). When a 2W-reactor generates 16 watt (COP 8) which gives us 10000 lumen, then it means that it produces 625 lm/W, this could fit well in this theory.
Calle H, if Rossi calculated a COP of 8 starting from 3.9 W total consumption (in reply to your question on Sept. 7), then it would be very high, because one SKLed already dissipates 2 W heat, meaning the other 2 W is solely responsible to produce 32 W of light, in fact a COP of 16! Knowing that one reactor can drive up to 100 SKLed’s then it would mean a COP of almost 32. I’m not sure that the dissipated heat comes from the LEDs, I thought it came from the reactor electronics. But more important is that as good as all radiated light (16 – 32 Watt) will finally be absorbed into heat and this means that not the SKLeds are heating the room but the emitted light from them! So, imagine 100 SKLeds radiating 1600 or maybe 3200 Watt can indeed heat a room (depending on size, insulation, temperature…). Correct me if I’m wrong.
Some people speak about lumen, lux, luminous flux etc… in my opinion this is important for our visual system and for LED-light but not relevant for the calculation of light into heat. They are all linked to the eye sensitivity of the human eye and can’t tell how much Watt it represents. I mean our eyes are not so sensitive to deep blue light (+/- 400nm is probably much less than 1% eye sensitivity) while this blue light is very energetic. Also UV-light and even X-rays are even more energetic (Watt), but lumen, lux, luminous flux is zero because we can’t see UV or X-ray. If we want to know the heat that light can produce when being absorbed by matter, it is just Watt that counts (can be checked when measuring a full spectrum with a radiometer). That’s how I think it works.
With kind regards,
Brice
Thanks to Chuck Davis and Mike Phalen, I reported the error to the petition holder … I hope He can change the date!

Dear Dr Rossi,
Based on your response to my last question, I have to conclude that your E-Cat SKLed contains at least two major technical breakthroughs which you expect to manufacture in high volume at low cost.
The first breakthrough is an E-Cat reactor system with an electrical output of greater than 14 watts for an input of 4 watts. The second breakthrough is an LED array that converts the electrical output to 10000 Lumens of white light while in combination with the E-Cat reactor dissipates less than 2 watts of waste heat.
At first I found it hard to believe that you and your team could make two major breakthroughs in such a short period of time, but then I realized that you have partners and that one of those partners might have independently developed a high efficiency LED light source. During the past 20 years research into creating low cost high efficiency LED arrays has been on going. Perhaps the E-Cat SKLed is a result of the combination of your E-Cat and a partners LED technologies.
Question
Is my hypothesis that a partner provided advanced LED technology correct?

Dear Andrea, dear Dan,
We are now 2 months away from the demo, and I am very impatient to see it.
I hope that it will clarify the following question that I ask myself since the announcement from the existence of the E-Cat SKLed :
–> Is there really a LED / LED array in the E-Cat SKLed ?
Personally I don’t think so. At least not for the moment.
@Dan : Your last comment about the E-Cat SKLed describes it as being composed from 2 parts :
The reactor generating the energy –> the LED array using it to convert it to light.
I think that the light being generated by the E-Cat SKLed is actually the one that directly comes out from the plasma contained in the reactor and then being diffused through some lenses.
The same kind of light that we see here : (Ecat SK demonstration YouTube video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw_oa8MvdQk
This could explain not only why the light coming out from it is polarized but also why the E-Cat SKLed is such a “simple” device compared to the SKL. (I put “simple” here between quotes because everything is relative)
The SKL on the other hand, must be a much more complex device because generating electricity or extracting it/converting it from polarized light or from the plasma probably needs extra components.
I think that the E-Cat SKL embeds a SKLed, and that it isn’t the other way around.
That’s also probably why the SKLed was announced first and after further development from the required additional components, Andrea feels comfortable to showcase the SKL in the next demo.
@Andrea : Some questions :
1. Without revealing it now (let the suspense be until the demo), will this be clarified on the 9. December ?
2. Since you announced that the SKL will be also be demonstrated, can you tell us more about the latest improvements (if any) that have been made to it during the last 3 months or share any kind of other progress that may keep us “hooked” while waiting patiently until the demo ?

I stand to conclude that the harvesting of pure electrical power from the E-cat principle is the foundation of all your future plans. The provision of a very cheap source of electrical power has been the holy grail of mankind since the first power station.
The SK-Led lamp is in itself and of itself an electrical power station fully biased to produce pure light. I am going out on a limb here, and conclude that you are now designing/experimenting/commissioning a prototype of an electrical generator in the kW range. Then it will be an array of such generators which being integrated will have power in the MW range.
From that very cheap electrical power we, the people, will have the electrical power equivalent of what the late Sir Clive Sinclair had arrived at, personal computer power, which IBM then were the first to commercialise together with Bill Gates who filled in the personal computer with data processing languages.
Albert Ellul:

Dear Dr Rossi,
As I understand it, the E-Cat SKLed has two novel components. The first is a small E-Cat reactor system that outputs more electrical energy than is required to maintain its operation. The second is an LED array that is driven by the electrical output of the E-Cat reactor. Since the E-Cat SKLed light as a whole dissipates very little heat both the E-Cat reactor and the LED array are highly efficient from an energy standpoint. With a 4 watt input the E-Cat SKLed outputs 10000 lumens of white light while dissipating about 2 watts of heat. I know that the lamp’s performance is specified in lumens, but a white light of 10000 lumens has a power of at least 14 watts (10000/683).
Questions
Is my understanding correct?

Dear Andrea,
A. Will the E-Cat SKLed certification allow Leonardo Corporation to have the E-Cat SKLed components mounted within alternative lamp / light fixture housing designs?
B. Will the E-Cat SKLed certification preclude operation of the E-Cat SKLed components within a closed non-vented housing having no optical output opening?
Some people have shown interest in placing multiple E-Cat SKLed’s within a box to act as a heater, on the basis that energy released must eventually be dissipated through the surface as heat. Perhaps a demonstrator can be produced to show more energy out of an E-Cat SKLed than inputted, measured by emission of heat. Individual E-Cat SKLed components enclosed within a sealed cube, say of aluminium, the cube sized on the basis that all heat is conducted then dissipated through one face, this will allow for a cube to be positioned on an insulated surface and multiple cubes then arranged contacting each other side by side in an array with exposed top faces, the cubes can be designed to be electrically connected together via contacts, sockets or other interfaces built into the cube sides, perhaps multiple cubes (blue?) operated by one controller, heat from the grouped upper surface may then be significant and can be measured then compared with energy inputted.
Perhaps there can be developed E-Cat heating cubes or flatter E-Cat heating panel modules (in whatever geometric flat shape that can tile together) that can be arrayed together via electrical interfaces, then electrically driven with a single controller. Array of panels on a floor with a carpet cover > underfloor heating, a few with a cushion on top for a heated seat, a larger array with a cushioned topper for a heated bed surface, arrayed on the wall of a room, wide and low or narrow and tall depending on shape of available space, small or large quantities arrayed depending on the room heating requirement. Maybe with good ingress protection the heating modules can be used in a bathroom, sauna or even a greenhouse (some greenhouse lights are rated at IP67). Maybe module dimensions chosen to be compatible with existing wall heater standard dimensions, mass production of a standardised module size dimensioned to maximize utilization within any shape or size of room.
E-Cat lighting is a start, E-Cat electricity production can be used for just about anything, but the dedicated production of heat is a desirable commodity. A large part of the gas consumed by northern countries during a cold winter is for heating, with current gas price and availability many people will struggle to heat houses beyond freezing never mind the luxury of heating every room in a house to a comfortable temperature.

@all I red all the comments of last year, at least – but no one claims to heat a house/flat with E-Cat SKLed 😀
And more, one claimed the power connection per home is 44 KW: No, in Italy the standard connection is just 3 KW, in Germany 14,5KW.
Dear Mr. Rossi,
the impact of a working E-Cat SKL will have much more impact than many of the readers here believe.
One m3 of freshwater made by desalination of sea water needs at least 1,5 kwh. If the power with the SKL is really as cheap as you write then even countries in deserts could live of their own agriculture.
Yes, it is really the most important invention of all time. It will change all.

@ Brice
As you pointed out in your post on October 2, led lamps have a heat dissipation. Andrea Rossi had on September 17 commented on a post that COP was “moreless 8”. This came from a calculation that the light energy from the SKLed lamp is 32W where 32/4 = 8. The 32W is calculated from the 10,000 lm beamed SKLed light having photon flux density and photon energy when striking a target. This calculation then excluded any heat. As you very well pointed out there is a heat dissipation from leds which will reduce the number of lamps required to satisfy the condition of input 4W and output (32W light + xW heat). So, I think its an open question if SKLeds can be used for room heating.

Unfortunately we do not know how the SKLed makes its light. E.g. Mats Lewan assumes that an small e-cat SKL powers a 100 W LED that has an efficiency of 100 W/L. Others have assumed a similar arrangement but with a top level LED that produces 150 L/W. In such arrangement it is assumed that maybe 10 kW is generated with about 400 W input, Probably sufficient for not too large and well insulated houses.
But other suggestions of the SKLed operation assume that UV light generated by the plasma of the Ecat is concentrated and directly converted into visible light using phosphors. In that case the powers will be a lot less and not sufficient for heating a house.
Obviously would nobody lit/heat directly the house with 100 SKLed’s, but put them all together in a black box and converting the light in the box into heat.
I hope that Andrea will give us more details of the SKLed’s operation during the presentation in December.

@ Gerard McEk
In my opinion I don’t think one can heat ‘a home’ with 100 SKLeds, delivering 1800W only (maybe up to almost twice the amount of energy when only one electronic driver can drive 100 SKLeds). This is about the heat of a hair dryer or a small electric heating panel. This could be enough for just a smaller room or as a supplementary heater but not sufficient enough for a cold winter. The investment in 100 SKLeds is significant while the electricity consumption is low of of course. Shining 100 x 10,000 lumen in a room is not a good idea it will be too bright, it’s better to put them in a black box.
The reasoning behind it is that under normal conditions finally all light will be converted into heat when it’s absorbed into matter. When photons reflect multiple times around in a room they will eventually be absorbed and converted into heat. There are exceptions where light behaves differently, like in the photo-electric effect which converts light into electricity (solar panels), (bio)chemical energy or even very exotic behaviour where light can be converted into matter. Things that normally don’t happen in our homes.
I believe it makes no sense to convert SKLed-light with solar panels into electricity, which can be converted into heat (only +/- 25% efficacy, although they do radiate heat themselves).
With kind regards,
Brice

Dear Andrea,
I believe it’s good you gave us an insight why the Ecat’s SK are currently not perused despite the high demand on domestic heating in a reply to Italo R..
You also said to Frank Ackland that the developments and progress on the SKL would also benefit the SK. Some questions if I may:
1. Would the improvements on the SKL also reduce the need for maintenance of the SK?
2. Do you think that maybe a SK combined with a SKL could lead to a high power self sustained heater?
3. Do you think that the SK is likely also be used for domestic heating in the future?
4. Some readers of ECW consider using the SKLed for heating their house. It is thought that with maybe 100 of these that would be possible. Do you think that is a good idea? Or:
5. Would you advice to wait for the Ecat SKL when considering heating (and powering) our homes?
Thanks for answering our question.

Dear Readers:
Today has been announced the Nobel Price for Physics to Prof Giorgio Parisi, of the University of Rome and the INFN (Istituto Nazionale di
Fisica Nucleare).
He is an expert, among many other theoretical issues, of the equation of Dirac – see also ref 17 on
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
and puts in evidence the importance of the formalism that is made use of: “the more the number of principles utilized is relatively small respect the number of things that it explains, the more the theory is elegant and rich”: I think that this is the principle of the Occam’s Razor and of the Clifford algebra:

Dear Dr. Rossi,
Ecat-SK can give heat immediately, while Ecat-SKL can only give heat in the future.
The industries of the world need heat NOW.
Why isn’t the Ecat-SK already widely used in industries around the world as it has already been in operation for at least two years and is already certified for that service?
Best Regards,
Italo R.
Italo R.:
I think you merit a more complete answer than I did earlier: the problem with the SK is that it needs to have an industrial size to be convenient and the domestic size has not been certified, because it needs a complex series of maintenance issues. In few words, it must be industrial and under our direct control, so far.
The SKLed and the SKL, which are based on the same platform, are much simpler, as well as their certification, albeit they are much more complex electronically. Besides, it is not true that to make heat with the SKL takes time, because electricity can be turned into heat with almost 100% of efficiency and very easily. This is why now we are focused on the SKL.
Warm Regards,

A Hit & Run
I’m a fan of forced air HVAC.
It allows me to filter the Air, control the humidity, cool, heat and bring in Fresh air(as needed) all from a central air handling unit. This allows for better indoor air quality which according to research is usually worse then the outdoors. They even have a name for it. Sick Building Syndrome.
From the perspective of requiring a 20Kw heat source, I would suggest a dedicated 20Kw (SK) E-cat. I’m assuming the SK will be cheaper then the SKL as it looks to be simpler. Note in an all electric world, copper will become ever more expensive. This requires no heavy gauge wiring nor an inverter and doesn’t require a larger electrical service(breaker panel). Perhaps this can be configured to also provide for hot water needs. The above is based on the KISS method. (Keep It Simple Silly) Ha, I wonder how many thought I was going to say Stupid???
It’s been posted that with Cheap energy there’s no need of insulating their homes.
Insulation serves two purposes.
1) Comfort. A universal room temperature. Ever sat near a campfire in the fall where your front blisters and your backside freezes.
2) In an uninsulated home, you’ll require a larger heating/cooling system. That’s more upfront costs. I thought the goal was to save money. I would note twas a time fossil energy was so cheap they thought insulation not worth bothering with. Only to have regrets latter on.
I fear, as always when things are cheap and plentiful, people become very wasteful. Let’s try and not do that. Let’s try and avoid future regrets.

Dear Andrea.
In any home, relatively large amounts of hot water are needed. Both for personal, dishes and room cleaning.
Hot water / hot oil is also used extensively for space heating through heated floors, radiators and fan coils.
This may also include the thawing of ice and snow by outdoor use areas and swimmig pools.
Using Ecat SK to heat water / liquid with a COP of close to 60 will be a dream scenario for anyone who has a significant energy consumption in such areas.
If an Ecat SK can be produced with a simpler and more stable operation and with a significantly higher efficiency than the SKL variant, I have no doubt where I would start a production.

Thank you for your opinion,

Dear Andrea,
As an alternative to a small E-Cat SK for heating rooms, a small E-Cat SKL is also suitable for powering infrared heaters.
Infrared heating has many advantages over heating by convection:
1. With infrared heating, the air is not primarily heated, but all objects, items and structural components in the room (e.g. furniture, floor, ceiling, walls). These absorb the infrared radiation (long-wave heat radiation) and emit it evenly to the entire room. This creates a pleasant warmth that is reminiscent of the natural rays of the sun.
2. As soon as the infrared heating is switched on, it does not take long before a pleasant warmth is noticeable. Since the rays have a direct heating effect, the entire room air does not have to be heated first over a certain period of time.
3. The time to heat up is only about 5 minutes
4. Like any other heater, the infrared heater can be controlled with a thermostat
5. Infrared heaters can be installed as underfloor heating and on all walls and ceilings.
6. They are available as mats, panels or wallpapers in various watts / sqm
7. Infrared heaters are suitable for new construction or renovation of buildings regardless of their size
8. A small E-Cat SKL can be installed per room, alternatively a larger E-Cat can supply several rooms with electricity for infrared heating.
9. The costs for infrared heating are around € 60 per square meter including installation.
The heating output for infrared heating depends on the insulation of the house, the external walls in each room and the desired temperature.
An infrared heater that is powered by the E-Cat SKL is the ideal heater in my opinion.
Many greetings

Dear Mr. Rossi,
regarding the conversation with you and Mr. Acland:
You have already invented a little ecatSK in the form of the ecatSKLed which is able to heat with 32 Watt and an electric consumption of 4 Watt. So make it just about 60 times bigger (and without light), 1920 Watt output with a wattage/input of 240 Watt.
It would be better to produce single heaters for rooms instead of a central heating system with 10-50 KW which needs specialists and masonry openings for pipe laying. Convection- and oil based electric radiators would fit the best, like: https://www.inhabitblog.com/appliances/electric-radiators/electric-radiators-best-heating-option.html
Also an electric water heater/boiler with the same wattage in different sizes of 30 to 100 liters should be in the product line.

I suggest that the E-Cat SKLed lamp can be used to illuminate a room by mounting it on the top of a support stand with the lamp pointed upward at the ceiling. If the ceiling is coated with flat white paint then the E-Cat SKLed should provide ample indirect lighting for the room and can be dimmed to the desired brightness. Alternately, the E-Cat SKLed can be placed at the center of a dining table pointing directly upward providing lighting for the dining area. Color filters can be used to provide a party atmosphere. Obviously power usage would not be a concern.

Dear Dr. Rossi,
I think it is very easy to make a heater based on SKLeds when you let them burn in a black box, which is a good black radiator. But even burning SKLeds directly in a room will also efficiently convert all light into heat when the photons will be absorbed by the surrounding… (100% in the end). Can you agree with my simple calculation?
Total consumption of 1 SKLed = 4W (2W heat dissipation + 2W light).
Total heat output of 1 SKLed = 2W heat + 16W light (2W @ COP 8 = 16W) = 18W (finally heat).
So in my reasoning when I would buy 100 SKLeds I could make a simple heater of 1800W, consuming 400W at a purchase cost of $2,500 (100 x $25). The power consumption could be about half when one electronic driver could drive all 100 SKLeds at once.
Does this makes sense?
With kind regards,

Since SKLed most closely resembles spotlights, can they be regulated centrally?

Dear Dr. Rossi,
With the current design of the SKLed it is not clear what the typical application of the lamp will be. There must be some other use than just a desk top artefact. I would guess without practical applications it may be difficult to reach a million orders. I would think that large volume users could be grow lamps and street lamps. Both are in the same light power range as the SKLed but may have different beam patterns, colour temperature, mechanical fittings and IP class. Will you at the Stockholm presentation show different variants and applications of the SKLed lamp?
Kind regards,

C. When the lamp is switched off, does the light terminate immediately or does it fade out?

Dear Andrea Rossi,
You politely answered my suggestion. My question is whether the conceptual suggestion of an eCat electrical generating unit (call it whatever name or symbol you want) can accept grid power, generate much more electrical energy, and can it power resistive loads using a transfer switch.
In my mind, the approach seems elegant. You avoid capacitive loads such as central air conditioner or some types of furnaces. You avoid endangering lineman working on grid power lines. The generator replacement methodology is a proven and an accepted approach.
Under this approach, the eCat unit becomes very similar to a generator back-up system, although it is used when grid power is available. Rewiring an existing house is avoided. All required changes can be made at the home’s electrical box by a qualified electrician.
1. Will the eCat unit be capable of self-regulating so when the load changes, the power generation changes?
2. Can the eCat produce AC power in phase with the incoming grid power?
3. Can the neutral of the eCat output power be tied to the home’s neutral line without adversely affecting the eCat output power?
4. Can the eCat electrical generator handle capacitive loads such as found on central air conditioning units and furnaces?
5. Can the eCat electrical generator produce acceptable 2-phase 240VAC, 60 Hz (or 50 Hz) power as found in the residential home?

I think I asked you before if you use Caesium in your fuel. The reason I asked was that Caesium is an easily ionized atom and could provide more electrons to your plasma for use in your system. It is used in JP7 fuel for jet aircraft which is 50% more energetic than the usual JP4. I used it in a plasma for generating infra red and obtained a remarkable increase in IR output. Please ignore this question if it is not relevant.

Dear Dr Rossi,
May I ask if you and your team will demonstrate the SKLed in SSM operation? The reason for asking is that on Sept 18 you said that the SKLed COP is more or less 8. This is when going from electricity to light. When going in the other direction from light to electricity, the inverse of 8 is 1/8 = 12.5% which is the absolute minimum efficiency that a solar cell must achieve for SSM. Best performing solar panels do 20%+ efficiency. So, it would be encouraging to try SSM. Personally I would think SSM is the ultimate proof of your amazing technology and a very strong foundation that energy is extracted from a vacuum source.

Dear Andrea,
Inverters for solar panels all have a maximum of 1000 Volt DC and 25 kW as input, this applies to all 1 and 3 phase inverters with outputs from 1 to 25 kWh and AC 230 and 400 volts.
If the ecatSKL, controlled by the AI, can be set within these limits, a connection with these converters is relatively easy. (coupled or without coupling to the energy grid).
These inverters fully comply with all specifications of the euro countries.
Is it possible to go into details during the presentation of 9 December?

An alternative to the on-grid versus off-grid discussion is an integrated system.
My typical average daily use of electricity varies from about 20 kW-hrs to 55 kW-hrs (lowest in winter, highest in summer).
At my daughter’s house I have installed a transfer switch with a generator to power the essentials when grid power is absent, due to a storm, etc. On the transfer switch I power essentials like the lights, appliances, refrigerator, television(s), and the electric water heater. The transfer switch removes the possibility of generator produced electricity going back to the grid where it affects the safety of those working on the power lines. The transfer switch would be installed after the house is built.
Similarly, a conceptual eCat unit could be installed connected through a circuit breaker from the grid power. It would feed power to a transfer switch which would power most of the relatively low power consuming items within the home. Such items would include the electric water heater, the refrigerator, the appliances, security system(s), and electric vehicle(s) charging. Items it might not include would be central air conditioning or central electric heat.
A large percentage of power consumption in the home are long-duration loads, so a large eCat capacity is not required.
In addition, if the eCat unit should fail or be down for maintenance, just switch the transfer switch and use grid power again. This would dramatically decrease grid power consumption without an expensive renovation to the home’s electrical distribution system.
Thoughts?

Caro A.R.
the introduction on the world market of ECAT, in addition to revolutionizing the sector closely linked to energy, will certainly make the real estate market soar, like never before. Every smallest and most remote house or building will have a value. The real estate market as we have built it up to now will be changed. A small example can be given by me who I have for several years, left by my grandparents, a building at an altitude of about 1300 m (sea level). Mountain house lost in the woods in the Alps north of Milan. Building devoid of amenities, electricity and heating. Built with local stones and chestnut wood, perhaps dating back to the year 1850 (in Italy they are called ruins). Now, thinking about the Ecat ….. I see it with different eyes. I think it can become a comfortable and welcoming refuge where you can spend long and warm winter days in total tranquility, immersed in the snow.
ECAT will also be the revolution in the real estate sector.
what do you think about it?

Michael, The grid-tied and off-grid configurations require very different capabilities of the Ecat. The off-grid mode would require a 44 kW Ecat to replace the grid power in a typical 200 A, 220 V residential application and since the grid is not available as a backup source it would require a second 44 kW Ecat for that purpose. Also it would require a 44 kW inverter and associated wiring and circuit breaker! In the grid-tied configuration with net-metering a 1 kW Ecat would be sufficient for most residential requirements since short term high power loads will be provided by the grid and the Ecat only has to be capable of supplying the total energy usage at turtle speed since it operates 24/7 and the grid supplies the backup in case of an Ecat failure. And it would only require a 1 kW inverter and associated wiring and circuit breaker. The grid-tied configuration, where net-metering is available, is far superior to the off-grid configuration but some countries don’t provide the net-metering option. Another option for off-grid operation is to add energy storage but with the limited power capability of currently available batteries it would require several Tesla Power Walls to supply the required current and they are quite expensive!

Dear Mr. Rossi,
what belongs to the ecatSKL:
Yes, it is complicated to fit the SKL to the grid for electricity feed-in because of bureaucracy and it is complete unnecessary. Everyone who needs electric power could buy an ecatSKL, there is no need for a grid. And anyways, here in germany a kwh through the electrical grid (just transport!) is charged with 8 ct plus 19% tax.
At the start it is useful to use the ecatSKL directly without household power grid, just plug in the electric consumers – incl. electric heating to save the money for oil or gas. Later, if i am sure that all works i will let install the ecatSKL (plus a powerbank) to my household power grid, seperate to the electrical grid of the electric power company.
The big consumers like industry, trade, carmakers, railway, shipbuilding, aircraft manufacturers, public administration… will come later.
Of course, an ecatSK (not SKL) just for decentralised heating, integrated in oil-filled radiator, electric fire and other electric heating would be very useful. Now that the ecatSKL is in the certification you could develop this heating application?
Best regards
Michael
Michael:
This is possible,

Dear Andrea,
Inverters for solar panels all have a maximum of 1000 Volt DC and 25 kW as input, this applies to all 1 and 3 phase inverters with outputs from 1 to 25 kWh and AC 230 and 400 volts.
If the ecatSKL, controlled by the AI, can be set within these limits, a connection with these converters is relatively easy. (coupled or without coupling to the energy grid).
These inverters fully comply with all specifications of the euro countries.
Is it possible to go into details during the presentation of 9 December?
best regards Jitse
Jitse:
I don’t think so.

Dear Andrea, The residential grid tied application is probably the most important use to your readers so I am curious to know if you have made a test of that configuration and how it performs.
Warm regards,
Chuck Davis
Chuck Davis:
This kind of application has to go through a complex series of authorizations and agreements.
This will not happen in the immediate,
Warm Regards,

Dear Andrea
There are many suggestions for detailed uses for Ecat SKL.
There will probably be a thousand more as time goes on.
There are some key issues that will be crucial.
Any Ecat must be produced. Have you and your team considered how long it can take to produce enough units to cover:
1. 50% of the world’s electricity consumption?
2. 50% of energy for land and sea transport?
These are main areas that will have a global impact in connection with the announced climate crisis.
Thousands of other small and large applications are interesting but not as significant as these main areas.
It is possible that many nations will concentrate the use of available devices on these most crucial areas.
Sincerely, Svein H. Vormedal
Svein H. Vormedal:
We will introduce our products, also by means of Partners. The production system will be developed along the development of the demand. Presently I am not able to answer your questions, we are ready for what we expect to happen at the incipit.

CC & Andrea Rossi,
The application of eCat technology to an Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV) is interesting because:
1. The application does not require a FAA (or similar Government authority) approval since this is not a manned aircraft.
2. The application would provide months of continuous operational time, where their current system is limited to about 1,000 nmi.
3, With auto-pilot and other similar control systems, the aircraft could do complex missions over extended periods of time.
4. As an Amphibian aircraft, long duration missions over the ocean could occur, with out the risk to a human crew.
5. It would be very cost effective – no salary, low maintenance.
6. Limited numbers initially – perfect for a new technology application.
7. With the addition of cameras and satellite uplink, imaging could be accomplished – tracking icebergs, tracking polar bears, other difficult and dangerous (for humans) missions.
Thoughts?

Studying your paper

I understood that the energy generated by the Ecat is basically due to the very low entropy charge aggregates that originate the point zero energy.
Do you agree ?

Dear Andrea Rossi,
I believe this might be another application for your 20 kW output electrical unit.
Consider an Amphibian UAV built by Aero-Marine – a British firm. They have two such UAVs.
GULL 44, Wing Span of 5 meters, requires a 19 SHP motor, payload of 34 kg, max speed of 92 knots – would require one 20kW motor (= 27-28 SHP), one motor controller, and one 20 kW eCat unit.
GULL 68, Wing Span of 7.6 meters, requires a 45 SHP motor, payload of 94 kg, max speed of 100 knots – would require two 20kW motors, 2 controllers and 2 20 kW eCat units.
Suggested motor and Controller by epropelled.com: motor AMC 1200 (20 kW); controller PM1200L.
The idea would this would be a utility transport from Europe to remote islands for valuable cargo, not readily served by large commercial airliners. Or, other applications.
Thoughts?

Dear Andrea,
Within your ResearchGate paper;
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
Within section 1; Charge clusters and the Casimir force, you state; “According to another Zitterbewegung electron model [9, 16], the electron can be modelled by a current loop, with radius re, generated by a charge distribution that rotates at the speed of light.” References 9 & 16 being the electron model of F. Celani, A. O. Di Tommaso and G. Vassallo.
Each electron with its orbiting charge plane is treated as a circular “plate”. For a sufficiently high density of low entropy electrons, where two electrons both with the same spin direction, with plates parallel to each other, position on the same axis, if the electrons then approach to close proximity, vacuum energy forces are excluded from between electron plates, the Casimir force pushes electron plates together against electron Coulomb forces repelling apart, the electrons position at a point of balance separation distance.
Based on the non-point like Zitterbewegung electron model, for the case where two electrons are on the same axis and positioned as two parallel plates, you obtain a separation distance between two electron plates by balancing the Coulomb repulsion force Fe(d) between the two electrons; equation (5), with a Casimir force Fc(d) applied external to the two electron plates pushing them together; equation (4) multiplied by four for the larger plate area of a Zitterbewegung electron model, the resulting point of balance between opposing Coulomb versus Casimir forces for two electrons is at a separation distance db approximately equal to four reduced Compton wavelengths, i.e. db ≈ 1.54 x 10^-12m.
Based on the model you have outlined, if the Coulomb force is halved, i.e. equation (5) was divided by two, the resulting point of balance between the now smaller opposing Coulomb versus Casimir forces is at an increased separation distance of db ≈ 2.3 x 10^-12m, i.e. 2.3 picometres. This figure of 2.3pm separation distance can be found in reference 16 of your paper; A. O. Di Tommaso and G. Vassallo – Electron Structure, Ultra-Dense Hydrogen and Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, section 6; Hypotheses on the Structure of Ultra-Dense Hydrogen, di ≈ 2.3 x 10^-12m, this being the theoretical distance between two ultra-dense hydrogen atoms where the electron charge orbits are parallel to each other and Pi radians out of phase to each other. As also mentioned in reference 16 of your paper, this 2.3pm distance has been computed by Leif Holmlid for a particular form of ultra-dense deuterium.
As to what leads to the Coulomb force being halved, I can only speculate. Coulombs law deals with two charges repelling each other, what if there was three electrons in a chain, how would this affect the outcome. It may be that the electron charge energy associated with the Coulomb force is divided between the two sides of an electron “plate” with the force on each side halved. Another consideration from the Zitterbewegung electron model is that half the electron energy is in the orbiting electron charge and half in the magnetic flux, does this affect the outcome. Alternatively 2.3pm is also possible if the Casimir force is doubled, whole h-bar instead of h-bar/2? Whatever the scenario, maybe it is possible to have electrons with 2.3pm separation. A low entropy environment > allowing electron interaction via local forces > leading to aggregate synthesis > energy release.
Looking at the history of the Casimir force per unit area equation, it was a mathematical solution for a larger scale, maybe it can be regarded as an approximation when relating its use to the scale of electron properties and dimensions. If the Casimir force per unit area equation is divided by the sum of Pi^3/240 then multiplied by the sum of 2*α*(Pi^2-1), α = the fine structure constant, both sums dimensionless, the result is different by less than 0.2%, this modified equation when used with half the Coulomb force, then gives an approximate electron separation of 2.3pm, and a diagonal distance between electron charges that are Pi radians out of phase of exactly one electron Compton wavelength.
Maybe I see things in the numbers that are not there, maybe it is just numerology, but interesting anyway.
Regards,
Keith Thomson.

Dear Andrea,
It is interesting to read that you produced hundreds of prototypes of the Ecat SKL until now.
I hope you can answer a few additional questions abut that:
1, I would guess you have a (semi-) automatic facility at hand to produce Ecat SKL’s relatively quickly and effortless, is that right?
2. What is the percentage of those hundreds of SKL’s that work(ed) to your satisfaction?
3. Over roughly what period did you produce these prototypes?
Thank you if you can answer!
Kind regards, Gerard
Gerard McEk:
1. yes
2. too complex to answer
3. a couple of years

Hi, Andrea. I have solved in great detail, and cheaply, the problem of how to pack all the necessary hardware into a SpaceX Starship on the launch pad and assemble it without humans, completely robotically in orbit. Then how to allow up to 200 people a journey to and from the Moon or Mars enjoying zero g conditions. In addition, the method allows for those on Mars to re-acquaint their bodies with 1g on occasion. This will really help to eliminate the current medical problems. Without this, returning passengers may suffer badly on Earth reentry. A detailed report has been sent to Elon Musk. However, I am not knowledgeable in the field of radiation; so please do not chastise me for the idea that I am about to put to you.
Any method that can reduce passenger exposure to radiation during a long trip in space should be considered. If it can be determined that the SKL is impervious to outside radiation, and can function reliably for a period of 5 years with any necessary re-charging with fuel catalyst in this outside radiation environment, and the SKL can take the shape of a cube, then perhaps the inner walls of the Starship could be lined with these ’tiles’, either in a single layer or even a double layer.
If they can be interlinked in this mode with provision for securing along the walls, then this system could be used for not only powering all the relevant ship devices but also ,when on Mars, act as a radiation- reduced habitat for the workers. Moreover,a power cable from the SKL output system could already be sited down the outside of the ship and the ship function as a power station for all the very early constructions and battery charging for the roving transport and diggers, etc. No nuclear generators would be required. No hazards to passengers/workers from such devices.
These tiles would act to reduce the incoming radiation, though I am aware that secondary radiation can be produced from the primary. Naturally, all these SKL modules could,alternatively, be assembled in a block somewhere; but at least the wall- covering method should provide some extra protection. Of course, the habitat volume would be reduced; but for early trips only about 20 people would be needed instead of the SpaceX plan of 100.
If this idea has merit may I suggest that you approach SpaceX after the December presentation. Their designers would need time to check that the SKL was radiation tolerant,determine how much radiation could be reduced by this method, and also whether or not it could withstand up to about 5g accelerations for short periods and also vibrations. In addition, how reliable it is. It should be possible for failed modules in flight to be easily removed internally and spares ready for their replacement.
Thank you in advance for not ridiculing me for my offering.
As always, good luck for the future. Jean Pierre

Dear Dr. Rossi,
Will the SKLed be available only at one color temperature (5000K)? I would think large volume lamp applications like grow lights and street lights have different preferences for color temperature. Personally I would be happy to receive typical warm (3000K – 4000K) SKLed lamps instead of the 5000K I have ordered. Technically it is a question of applying a phosphorus filter on the LED kernel which sounds like a small challenge compared to the amazing work behind the SKLed lamp itself. Thank you if you can answer.

With regard to your minimum orders of 1 million SKLeds:
1) Have you already secured the required minerals for fueling the SKLeds?
2) If not, do you anticipate there will be any difficulties securing the required amounts?
3) I am a believer in full Life‐cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting that accounts for emissions associated with the raw materials extraction, processing and transportation of such materials. For the December presentation, or shortly thereafter, will you be preparing and publishing an accounting for all emissions connected with the production of 1 million SKLeds?

You replied to Frank Ackland that the SKLed was successfully demonstrated to potential customers. Some questions about that:
1. Have these customers already preordered SKLed’s?
2. If yes, do these preorders substantially contribute to your target of 1 Million SKLed’s to start production?
Further some questions about the Ecat SKL:
3. Are you happy about the progress so far?
4. How likely is it to see the first product on the market next year?
5. Has the Self Sustained running time already been extended to substantially more than 24 hours?
Thanks for answering our questions.
