Dear Andrea,
So far, how long is the longest period during which an Ecat SKLep has operated according to specifications uninterrupted?
Many thanks,
Frank Acland
Frank Acland:
1 month, but the suspensions are due to our necessity to analyze the situation of the parts, not to shortcomings,
Warm Regards,

Dr Rossi:
Did I correctly understand that the plan B is hypothesized as a full time 1 year long broadcasting od an ECAT SKLep in operation in the site of a Leonardo Corporation’s client ?
Thank you if you can answer,

Dear Andrea
May I ask a few update questions about the power supply and SSM issues. There was some interesting feedback from other EE readers familiar with PSU’s etc so I wonder if some of that helped.
For the SSM case:
1. Have you now better understood the need to use a PSU when in SSM?
2. If so have you been able to resolve the problem regarding usage of a battery for SSM.
3. Does it in work in SSM with a battery providing a ground is also used?
For the non SSM case
4. I understand in this non SSM case it works with both PSU and battery is this correct?
5.Does it work wIth good COP with a battery when not in SSM.
6. Does it make a difference it is grounded or not?
For the more general case:
7. Do we need a ground connection whatever the configuration SSM, non SSM, PSU or Battery?
I wish you success with resolving any open issues but I have the impression the device you have in hand is already remarkable.

Dear Doctor Andrea Rossi,
With all the discussions about your e-cat invention, it strikes me that no one has asked about minimum military requirements or MIL certifications.
What can you say there?
I wish you good efficiency in your work.

Dear Andrea
You are talking about plan A and plan B. You are in a situation where you present a product that is so fantastic that it is too good to be true. Both in terms of energy and the environment.
Therefore, everyone believes that what you present cannot be real.
I consider the possibility that I can get 100 times as much energy that I put in as unrealistic. Wishful thinking.
I have in my home an air to water heat pump that gives me 3 times as much energy as it consumes. Where this energy comes from is easy to understand. That is why there are millions of heat pumps in operation.
If you now own close to 100 ECats, your plan A should be to have them exposed in such a way that the most important nations’ energy experts had access to test them.
Most nations depend on large and expensive energy imports. All of these will embrace Ecat if given the opportunity.
Whether this is done now or next year is of little importance. However, it must be implemented.

Hi Andrea,
With regards to the unit you are pre-selling, 1. Can the power output be modulated by controlling the input from 0 to 1 watts? 2. How long does the unit take to come to full power output after the 1 watt is supplied? 3. Does it damage the e-cat if the 100 watts is not fully consumed? 4. Is the 100,000 hour estimate based on any time power is supplied to the unit or total power consumption 100,000 hours x 100watts = 10,000,000 watt hours? 5. Does it shorten the life of the e-cat to power it up and down?
Thanks,
Kevin
Kevin Elliott:
1- yes
2- several seconds
3- no
4- the expected life is related to the time of operation
5- it shouldn’t
Warm Regards,

Hi Andrea,
I am enjoying reading the suggestions of Svein Vormedal, Vincenzo Bonomo and others. People are thinking about ways that the e-cat will empower THEM to better the lives of themselves and others. I personally have heard stories from people who had ideas about how to use the e-cat in creative ways that I would never have thought of.
It will be impossible to stop people from thinking about these things until they can get their hands on an e-cat.
Thomas Florek:
I agree,

I wish you that it’s going forward with the SKLep 100 W.
I’m waiting for it!
Have you got a significant amount of new orders?
Have you resolved the problem with the large buyers financials?
You mentioned the development of an extended version with 1 kW.
The 1 kW version would be very interesting for buyers which need small and larger power plants!
How far is the development today?
Will the 1 kW version cost 10 times the 100 W version?

Dear Andrea
If a distribution station, in a current local network, is connected to 50 homes and there will be need for a few hundred more.
Can the network owner then equip the distribution station with a necessary number of Ecat and that it will provide sufficient supply to all?
If some of the newcomers also want to use Ecat, will the supply that the central network Ecats then supply them, in terms of quality, be satisfactory for their own Ecat?

Dear Dr. Rossi, having followed and always believed in your technology for many years, although having no knowledge of any kind of physics,may I ask if it would it be possible to relate the internal electronic plasma of the E Cat SKLep with the natural phenomenon of what is sometimes called Saint Elmo’s Fire?. An electronic plasma ball, sometimes observed by sailors during storms at sea, in the case of the E Cat created scientifically rather than by the forces of nature?.
David U.K.:
It is a totally different phenomenon,

Dear Dr Andrea Rossi,
About your answer to Frank Acland of E-Catworld: I suggest you to put on Youtube a video of the Ecat SKLep in operation for at least one year, 24/7, no interruptions, so that everybody, wherever he is in the world, can watch it, obviously putting it upon a plexiglas table and with all the connections well in view, with A, V and W readable 24/7. If you can do this before the delivery target is reached, for example in the house of a trusted “pioneer”, you easily will collect orders for 1 million units.

Dear Andrea,
With regard to seeking out potential customers while avoiding widespread publicity, it may be beneficial for you or your team to attend some of the larger trade shows, where large industrial energy users may be present, or where large engineering companies who are involved in thermal processes / infrastructure are exhibiting, usually both visitors and exhibitors are looking around for what is new, so a stand with a display screen and a looped presentation, collecting contacts to follow up, maybe book a time slot to give a talk in a presentation room, or maybe just to attend as a visitor seeking out particular companies, arranging to meet the senior management that are often present, or even just to look around observing how other companies are launching or marketing their latest products / technologies.
The European chemical engineering, process engineering and biotechnology trade fair ACHEMA (every 3 years) is on over the week 22 – 26 August 2022 at the Frankfurt am Main exhibition grounds.

Dear Dr. Rossi,
I do not know how many pre-orders are still missing to reach 1,000,000 units of Ecat SKLep.
In any case, in order to accelerate the pre-orders – by making your revolutionary invention known to the vast Italian public, most of whom are totally unaware of its existence – would you be willing to give an interview to Byoblu, the only TV in the world financed directly by citizens and not by editorial groups in the pay of the usual well-known industrial and financial potentates who would do anything to obscure and hinder it?
Sincerely.

Caro Dr. Rossi, utopia è il termine che avrei usato anche io in condizioni normali se qualcuno mi avesse fatto la proposta che Le ho prospettato nei giorni scorsi. Il fatto è che non siamo in condizioni normali, cosa che le sfugge non avendo il polso della situazione economica italiana attuale che si può definire tranquillamente “di guerra” avendo il prezzo dei carburanti superato i 2 euro al litro, così come si è impennato il costo di energia elettrica e gas, acciaio, farina, olio di semi ed altre materie prime. La gravissima siccità ha portato al razionamento dell’acqua in gran parte dell’Italia e le temperature in questo momento hanno superato i 40 gradi. Il Governo è letteralmente con il cappio al collo e non sa cosa fare e l’unica cosa di cui abbonda sono i soldi (che non sa come spendere) per cui ci sono tutte le condizioni che permetterebbero la realizzazione della Sua utopia. Il ministro Cingolani è uno scienziato non un politico per cui non è affatto scontato un suo atteggiamento ostile verso l’E-Cat soprattutto se intravedesse la soluzione dei suoi problemi con l’adozione del Suo reattore ma bisogna saper cogliere l’occasione ed osare.
Cordiali Saluti.

Dr. Rossi,
I like your approach to Plan B– a 24/7 webcast from a customer’s site sometime within this year.
It wouldn’t hurt, to consider in addition, something smaller-scale, nearer-term and completely within *your* control– for example, a minimalist SKLep tabletop setup, at a site of your own, 24/7 webcast, and within a couple of weeks.
I’ve found, from lengthy past personal experience (that just means I’m an old engineer who’s experienced my share of surprises), that Murphy’s Law being what it is, it doesn’t hurt to have at least one Plan B where you personally hold *all* the cards.

Caro Dr. Rossi, in Italia si sta verificando la concomitanza di eventi tipica della “tempesta perfetta”. Siccità diffusa con spegnimento di alcune centrali idroelettriche, temperature di gran lunga oltre le medie abituali del periodo e taglio ulteriore delle forniture di gas per le note vicende belliche. Se le pungesse vaghezza di fare una telefonata al ministro Cingolani spiegandogli le prestazioni del Suo reattore, sono convinto che buona parte dei fondi disponibili per il PNRR italiano (centinaia di miliardi) verrebbero impiegati per l’acquisto di milioni di e-cat, raggiungendo il Suo obiettivo prefissato in un amen e senza perdere tempo prezioso rincorrendo questo o quel cliente.
Ovviamente la mia resta una pia illusione perché ha già spiegato più volte la Sua strategia imprenditoriale e non penso che ora immagini di metterla in discussione, ma la speranza come si suole dire è l’ultima a morire.
Cordiali Saluti.

Dear Mr. Rossi,
thank you for your overall important research.
I tried to order 1 pcs of the ECat via the Leonardo Corp. but received no answer. Is this company still alive? They wanted to reach 1 million orders until Dec.2022 but I think this is delusional. Nevertheless I find the whole project as too important to disappear.
Can you inform us how to purchase an ECat – I know a number persons who are strongly interested in this concept.

Dr Rossi:
I am not able to visualize how a magnetic wave can be born by an electron: are you able to sisualize some model ?
Thanks,
Jo
Jo:
A modeling (probably wrong) could be got from water drops that fall on water filled cups: the water drops represent the electrons, the water waves they generate when they fall in the cups represent the magnetic waves, the water drops that fall overcoming the edge of the cups represent electrons that fall in other water filled cups, and so on. The cups could represent the electromagnetic field. This model is inspired to me in this moment, because I am answering to our readers while I have in front of me the cover a book I was just again re-reading: ” Maxwell-Dirac Theory and Occam’s Razor: Unified Field, Elementary Particles, and Nuclear Interactions” (Andras Kovacs, Giorgio Vassallo, Antonino Oscar Di Tommaso, Francesco celani, Dawei Wang).

SKLep Demonstration Test Concept
Overview – A plexiglass sheet where the SKLep is mounted (including the Controller). Off-the-shelf modules are in-line with the SKLep to isolate the AC input, measure and display AC input power, a small chassis mount AC/DC converter on the SKLep input side.
On the SKLep output side, a self-powered DC power meter outputting to a power resistor (which may be off the plexiglass sheet). The power resistor is submerged in a non-electrical conducting media to dissipate the thermal energy.
Components and Their Function:
1. Isolation transformer – B&K Precision 1604A Isolation Transformer, cost $133.86, source, Amazon, in-stock. Isolates the AC power input from the power going to the AC/DC converter. No hidden power coming from the AC wall outlet.
2. Terminal Boards – Luomorep TB-1503, Amazon, 10 pieces for $6.99. Visible wire terminations. No secret wiring claims.
3. HiLetop PZEM-061 LCD Power Meter. Measures input AC power going to AC/DC converter. $15.49, Amazon, in-stock.
4. Another Terminal Board
5. AC/DC converter, VSK-910-12UA-T, Digikey, $32.11 – converters AC to 12VDC. In-stock.
6. Another Terminal Board
7. SKLep with Controller – assumed DC power from AC/DC converter goes to SKLep input cable.
8. Another Terminal Board
9. HiLetop DC 6.5-100V 0-20A LCD power meter, Amazon, $14.69, in-stock.
10. Another Terminal Board
11. Power Resistor (with cooling bath) – off plexiglass sheet but visible. Multiple sources.
12. Internet camera showing continuous operation – national television screen in background. Close-up screens of the Input and Output power meters.
All components (except SKLep and Controller) are off-the-shelf and immediately available.
Each of the Power Meters (AC and DC) could be calibrated using the source (AC isolated power OR a DC power supply, respectively) and using various known load resistors of specified value and power dissipation. The calibration data would be made available to the viewing audience.
Each power meter also contains an energy display, which may be manually reset, as needed.
I would use colored solid hook-up wire to interconnect. Large enough so no noticeable voltage drop is produced. Let the continuous demonstration run for a month. Assuming a 30-day month and 100W of output power would yield about 72 kW-hrs of energy with an input around 0.72 kW-hrs of supplied energy. This would be hard to refute.
Thoughts?
Steven Nicholes Karels:
Thank you for your suggestion,

My suggestion would be to contact “influencers” like Tim Pool.
He is pretty open to the fact he is building his studios “in the middle of nowhere”.
I’m pretty sure he would be interested in testing the SKLep for his business & personal use.
And the fact he gets millions of viewers would be a big plus.
“We are streaming powering everything with SKLeps connected to the solar roof” would be enough to make a lot (millions) people aware of your product.
I missed one of the best. He is always measuring current consumption of his stuff.

Dear Dr. Rossi,
the holiday season is approaching. Customer companies have employees. And these employees want to go on vacation.
Therefore, the 2 logical questions for You are:
1) Can employees of the customer companies go on holiday during July because there will be no large deliveries of E-Cats in July?
2) Can employees of the customer companies go on holiday during August because there will be no large deliveries of E-Cats in August?
Have A Nice Day

Jaroslav P:
Presently I do not know when the deliveries will start and obviously anybody is free to go where he wants and when he wants. Besides, if we contact a client and he is not reachable for any reason, we will send by email a message and he can answer when he wants: the pre-order will not be cancelled for 6 months after our email requesting confirmation of the order.

Some of his videos reach up to 1 million viewers or more.
He is an engineer (informatics&machine construction with doctor’s degree) who never accepts money of producers of products he tests and he does not merchandise his videos.
Of course, I do not know if he will consent to do it, but i reckon he will because your product is too interesting to deny.

Dear Steven Nicholas Karels,
In the E-Cat model I have in my head, particles have to “jump” to release the zero point energy.
If we take a closer look at the concept of “jumping” and compare it to our own real world where we would have to make a jump ourselves, it makes a big difference whether we jump from on top of a hard table or from a pile of mattresses. .
In the first case of the table – similar to the stabilized DC power supply – we are much better able to push ourselves off the hard surface, while if we want to jump off a pile of mattresses, we are primarily pushing the mattresses so that we don’t build up our momentum and prevent us from getting high on our jump.
A battery is a chemical device that is electrically “compressible” or elastic for elementary particles to bounce off it. Placing capacitors in parallel with the battery does not solve the problem of the battery’s “elasticity”.
I think a solid diode in series with the battery can make a big difference to create a sturdier base for a jump.
This may all sound strange and unscientific, but I think the concept is understandable.
Kind regards,
Koen
Dear Mr. Rossi and Mr WaltC,
who will watch a cam 24/7? However it will be mainly people who know already the existence of the ecat sklep.
But new potential buyers should be found.
There is no way around to invite well-known youtube influencers with at least 100,000 number of clicks for every of their video.
Please reconsider, Mr. Rossi!

Dear bloggers,
I tested a 36volt dc battery charger for open voltage characteristics, the results are: Open position 40.7 volts DC
and 90/0 volts AC on the AC position of the meter.
For the measurement I used a slow simple voltmeter. To measure precisely for analysis, an oscilloscope is much better to determine the effects of the start-up of the EcatSKLep (battery or inverter).
Perhaps the short voltage peak of 90 DC (1/50 second) is needed to guarantee startup the EcatSKLep.
A combination of inverter and battery probably won’t work because the voltage has already leveled out.
With regards Jitse
Dear Andrea,
>I am not reluctant.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
From other postings, it appears the SKLep work well when powered by power supplies and not as well when powered by a battery. Some questions:
1. Do you observe correct SKLep performance when powered from a switching power supply (frequency in the vicinity of 100 kHz)?
2. Do you observe correct SKLep performance when powered by a linear power supply (harmonics in the 120 Hz regime)?
3. Batteries can provide high output current, whereas power supplies output current is limited by the effective series resistance – do you think this is an issue?
Steven Nicholes Karels:
No, the issues are more complex and, honestly, I still have not understood entirely the problem,
Warm Regards,

Dr. Rossi,
You’ve been reluctant to have a minimalist SKLep set up somewhere within your lab and operating, for the world to watch, on a 24/7 webcam. Many of your readers believe– myself included– that such a setup would reinforce the long-term operational capabilities of the device and therefore increase the rate of large-buyer preorders.
Questions: If it’s true that you’re reluctant, is it because:
1) The current rate of preorders is optimal right now and you see no need to increase them?
2) You don’t believe it would be worth your team’s time to set something like that up?
3) You don’t believe that such a setup would attract significant interest?
4) The buyers that you’re looking for already know full well about the SKLep & its capabilities?
5) You have concerns that such a setup would prematurely give competitors too much information?
6) Something else?
Thanks & best wishes,
WaltC
WaltC:
I am not reluctant.

Dear Dr Andrea Rossi,
The paper
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
has reached 1000 recommendations mostly made by Physicists, Scientists, Engineers, mainly Professors, PhD: I think this fact has the value of a solid peer reviewing.

Dear Chris Beall,
the difference between a 12 V battery and a 12 V power supply is that the 12 V power supply is voltage stabilised. With a battery, the voltage fluctuates depending on the load. With a 12 V power supply unit, the voltage is regulated and therefore stable at 12 V.
With lead-acid batteries the effect is not so strong, with lithium-ion batteries the effect is very strong.
It could be that the ECAT temporarily requires a high input current, which cannot be supplied by a battery with stable voltage.
One solution could be to bridge the battery with a large electrolytic capacitor.
Best Regards

Dear Mr. Rossi,
you wrote an ecat sklep has to be on the grid, it don’t work with just a battery.
But more and more the second reserve (Sekundenreserve in german, i hope it is the correct translation, maybe also primary regulation or secondary reserve?) are delivered by batteries to the grid. What is the difference to small batteries? This has to be found out.

Dear Andrea,
You have said that when the Ecat SKLep operates in Self sustain mode, the input is 0.0 W – this would make the COP infinite.
a) If the SKLep is operating NOT in SMM, what is the typical power consumption?
b) In your opinion, would it be useful to operate the SKLep with battery input, even if it is not SSM?
Many thanks,
Frank Acland
Frank Acland:
a- you saw it during the making of the video linked also on ecatworld.com

Buongiorno Andrea
sto installando un impianto fotovoltaico, inverter ibrido 5kw, batterie litio, ma senza pannelli fotovoltaici, perchè al loro posto metterei i 20 moduli Ecat-skl che ho ordinato in serie sull’ingresso MPPT dell’inverter ibrido.
se collego un alimentatore 230V CA/12VCC all’uscita 230V dell’inverter e con questo alimento gli Ecat con i 12 Vcc che escono dall’alimentatore, pensi che possa funzionare?
Grazie e i miei migliori Auguri per il vostro lavoro.
Good morning Andrea
I am installing a photovoltaic system, 5kw hybrid inverter, lithium batteries, but without photovoltaic panels, because in their place I would put the 20 Ecat-skl modules that I ordered in series on the MPPT input of the hybrid inverter.
if I connect a 230V AC / 12VDC power supply to the 230V output of the inverter and with this food the Ecat with the 12 Vcc coming out of the power supply, do you think it can work?
Thanks and my best wishes for your work.

Mr. Varotto Claudio. I understand you, but you have to read between the lines when you persevere for 10 years on this site. Yes, the time is ripe, but it must be used commercially. Detailed questions are insignificant, they will come up later. It is important that Mr. Rossi completes his work to a successful conclusion. This is more difficult than the invention itself.

I’ve been reading the discussion of SSM, particularly the part about input power requirements, with much interest, especially the difficulty in getting clarity on the requirement, so I’ll take a stab at it.
If I understand correctly, there exists an important difference between 12V DC obtained from a battery, and 12v DC obtained from a device that converts mains power (120vac in the US) into 12v DC. It is this unidentified important difference that precludes the use of a battery to power an SKlep in SSM. Is that correct?
Chris Beall:
Correct,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
1. My understanding is that the ECat SKlep requires a 12 V DC source connected to the grid. I was wondering why?
A 12 V DC source has a 120 V AC Input connected to the power grid, step down transformer and circuitry to convert AC to DC
2. Could you simulate this situation by using a 12 V battery which is connected in an Inverter to produce
120 V AC then connect the same device to convert the 120 V AC to DC then connect everything to the ground
terminal of the house (the green wire)!

Dr. Rossi,
Since *Energy Density* is one of the areas where the Ecat-SKLep is exceptional, I thought it would be interesting to compare the energy output of the SKLep to Barrels of Oil—
Background:
1) kWh-Equivalent of Barrel of Oil (BTU): 1700 kWh
2) kWh produced by Barrel of oil (generator): 540 kWh
Results:
1) For the 3 yr Warranty period, the SKLep is equivalent to:
a) 1.6 barrels of oil (BTU) and
b) 4.9 barrels of oil (electricity).
2) For the 11.4 yr Service life, the SKLep is equivalent to:
a) 5.9 barrels of oil (BTU) and
b) 18.5 barrels of oil (electricity).
I didn’t factor volumes into the comparisons, but for the record, the volume of the SKLep is 0.5 liters, and the volume for a barrel of oil is 159 liters.
Best Wishes,

Egregio Dottor Rossi, seguo i resoconti della Sua sperimentazione, i suoi test, e le risposte alle numerose mail che molte persone Le inviano con estrema attenzione. Non sono un esperto di fisica nucleare anche se tali argomenti mi interessano da molto tempo ma conosco molto bene l’elettronica teorica e sperimentale e devo confessare che sono molto deluso nel constatare che Lei a fronte di, a dire il vero poche mail che sollevano problematiche intelligenti si limita a rispondere con un laconico “grazie per il suggerimento”, sprecando poi il suo tempo nella risposta a chi Le chiede per esempio se il suo dispositivo risulti operativo anche sotto la pioggia o cose di questo genere. Inoltre a chi La invita ad esporsi con coraggio Lei risponde sempre con la stessa litania che si protrae anche da tempi in cui non si paventava a livello mondiale un disastro incipiente.
Dottor Rossi: credo di interpretare la “esasperazione” di chi ha avuto la “disavventura” di imbattersi in Lei molti anni fa e credere nella sincerità di intenti e nella autenticità delle affermazioni di una persona che sicuramente ha avuto una esistenza da ricercatore oltre che personale molto difficile e tormentata ma ribadisco, come in una mia precedente mail a cui Lei non diede riscontro, affermando l’obbligo verso se stesso e verso tutti
quelli che hanno creduto in Lei e tuttora credono, di uscire allo scoperto e, smettendola con i test di sapore ” casalingo ” che, devo dire lasciano interdetto anche chi di elettronica se ne intende pochino, segua il consiglio di chi la prega essere più convincente a tutto vantaggio di questa sua ostinata resistenza al raggiungimento di questo famigerato pre ordinativo di un milione di unità.
Creda finalmente a chi La sta incitando ad esporsi e mi creda, il sostegno a suo favore sarà colossale; Lei lo deve anche in virtù del gran lavoro, a detta sua, svolto dal suo team, visti gli elogi che molto spesso rivolge loro in occasione dei ringraziamenti che arrivano dai suoi sostenitori. Quale migliore modo per concretizzare questo ringraziamento di una dirompente dichiarazione al mondo!!!
Ora dopo la accorata preghiera,……. Le chiedo: nel 2018 ho inviato tramite lo specifico sito della Leonardo Corporation la richiesta per n. 2 Ecat Home e tra il 2021 ed il 2022 la richiesta in più tranches di n. 20 Ecat Skleps; queste mie richieste come saranno trattate ad inizio spedizioni:
1) saranno evase singolarmente con la priorità determinata dalla data dello specifico invio della richiesta tramite form
2) saranno cumulate con la priorità derivante dalla data del primo inoltro del 2018 ( 10/02/2018 )
Cordialissimi saluti Dott Rossi, La stimo moltissimo e La prego: non risponda con un “grazie per il suggerimento” o esprimendo simpatia per ciò che affermo perchè risulterebbe oltremodo offensivo per chi la segue da oltre 10 lunghi anni di attesa; vale per me e per tutte le persone che Le hanno rivolto le stesse esortazioni. I tempi sono maturi per agire.
Grazie.
p.s. Le invio la mail che in italiano a causa del mio scadente inglese che non consentirebbe di cogliere appieno il senso delle mie affermazioni.
Dear Doctor Rossi, I follow the reports of your experimentation, your tests, and the responses to the numerous emails that many people send you with extreme attention. I am not an expert in nuclear physics even if these topics have interested me for a long time.I know theoretical and experimental electronics very well and I must confess that I am very disappointed to find that you are faced with, to tell the truth, a few emails that raise issues intelligent simply respond with a laconic “thank you for the suggestion”, then wasting your time in replying to those who ask you, for example, if your device is operational even in the rain or something like that. Furthermore, to those who invite you to expose yourself in competition, you always respond with the same litany that has continued even from times when there was no fear of an imminent disaster worldwide. Doctor Rossi: I think I interpret the “exasperation” of those who had the “”misfortune”” of bumping into you many years ago and believing in the sincerity of intentions and authenticity of the statements of a person who has had a very personal and researchal existence difficult and tormented but which I repeat, as in a previous email of mine to which you gave no reply, affirming the obligation towards yourself and all those who believed in you and still believe, to come out and stop with the content tests ” household “which, I must say, leave even those who know little about electronics baffled, follow the advice of those who beg you to be more convincing to the full advantage of this stubborn resistance to reaching this notorious pre-order of one million units. Finally believe whoever is inciting you to expose yourself and the support in your favor will be colossal; You owes it also by virtue of the great work done by your team, since very often you takes the opportunity to extend the thanks that come from your supporters to them. What better way to realize this thanks than a disruptive declaration to the world!
After the heartfelt prayer, ……. I ask you: in 2018 I sent through the specific Leonardo Corporation website the request for n. 2 Ecat home and between 2021 and 2022 the request in several tranches of n. 20 Ecat Skleps these requests of mine as they will be treated at the start of shipments:
1) they will be processed individually with the priority determined by the specific date sending of the request via form
2) they will be cumulated with the priority deriving from the date of first forwarding of 2018 ( 10/02/2018)
Kind regards Dr. Rossi, I respect you very much and I pray you: do not respond with a “thank you for the suggestion” or expressing sympathy for what I say because it would be extremely offensive to those who have been following you for over 10 long years of waiting; it applies to me and to all the people who have addressed the same exhortations to you. The time is ripe to act.
Thank you.
I am sending you the email which in Italian due to my poor English which would not allow you to fully grasp the meaning of my statements.
Varotto Claudio:
Answer to your questions:
1-2: They will be cumulated with the priority derived from February 10 2018.
About all the other considerations of yours: I already explained that we cannot give consulting without knowing the specific situations, and we cannot study specific situations if not referring to specific deliveries on course.
Besides, you expressed opinions that I respect, as I respect all the opinions about our work and I do not have time to make discussions completely useless until we will be ready to deliver. I could add that I deem offensive toward our Team some expressions of yours, but still you are free to express the opinions you want about our tests. As you see I have published integrally your comment, so everybody will be free to think what he wants about it. This means to have respect of your opinions, independently from what I think about them. I always read with attention all the comments we receive and my answers are always thought carefully about, contingent with the time I can dedicate to this important task.
Warm Regards,

Hello,
the questions say that one E-cat with AC output can continuously power a TV set. Therefore, I have questions:
1. Can one E-cat with AC output give electricity directly to the grid in EU countries? Or maybe it needs an inverter?
2. Is the electricity generated by the E-Cat of sufficient quality to be fed into the grid?
3. E-Cat needs an inverter to feed electricity into the grid.
best regards and good health
Mario:
1. It depends on the situations. This issue must be resolved with a local certified provider specialized in the matter
2. same as in 1
3. same as in 1

Dear Dr. Rossi,
The only information I have about the ECat SKLep are the specifications given on the ECat.com web site.
I am treating the ECat SKLep as a real working device and that:
1. You have manufactured and tested a number of production prototype units
2. You have tested units and found they meet your specifications.
3. You are preparing for the volume manufacture of many units.
According to your specifications the ECat SKLep needs to be connected to a 12 VDC power supply, and the ECat SKLep will draw about 1 watt of power from that power source. As long as the power source remains connected, the ECat SKLep will output 12 VDC with sufficient current to transfer 100 watts of power to a suitable load.
Since the ECat SKLep requires a power input from an external source it clearly does not run in a self-sustained mode. Maybe some future version will run in an SSM mode but not the design you have tested and are preparing to manufacture and sell.
Question 1
Do you agree?
Since the ECat SKLep does not run in an SSM mode, a while ago, I proposed you do a test where the external grid connected 12 VDC power supply is replaced by a battery that is automatically recharged from the output of ECat SKLep itself. At the time you did not see the value of such a test, and you suggested that when I get an ECat SKLep I could do the test myself. Fast forward to now, and I find that the test I had suggested may have been done, but that the loop back idea did not work.
Question 2
Is this true?
I believe that replacing the grid connected power supply with a battery and automatically recharging the battery using the output of the ECat SKLep should work, but if you have tried it and couldn’t get it to work, then I will have to wait till I get an ECat SKLep and try it myself.
Warm Regards
Dan Galburt
Dan Galburt:
Q1: yes, based on your definition of SSM ( see my answer to your former comment )
Q2: no: please see my answers to your last 2 comments
I agree with the final conclusion of this comment of yours
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Dr. Rossi,
In your response to my latest questions, you responded “If you want the SSM, you need to connect the Ecat SKLep to a power source connected with the grid.”
My understanding of SSM is that it that after initial startup, the input to the ECat SKLep must be self-powered and not require a connection to a grid driven power supply.
Clearly there is a conflict between my understanding of SSM (Self Sustaining Mode) and yours.
Relevant ECat SKLep operating cases
1. The ECat SKLep input is connected to a grid driven 12VDC power supply, and outputs 100 watts of power as long as the input is maintained. Grid connection needed.
2. The ECat SKLep input is connected to a 12VDC battery, and outputs 100 watts of power until the battery is discharged. No grid connection needed.
3. The ECat SKLep input is connected to a 12VDC battery, and its output is connected to the same battery through a charge controller so that the batteries charge is maintained indefinitely. No grid connection needed.
My understanding of SSM is that cases 1 and 2 are not SSM, but case 3 is. I also understand that you claim that case 3 is not yet possible.
Question
Do you agree with my case selections for SSM, or if not, which of the operating cases would you call SSM?
Warm Regards,
Dan Galburt
Dan Galburt:
You are right, it is necessary to define what we mean with SSM= self sustained mode: with this term I mean a system that consumes 0.0 W from the power source. Actually, the definition is ambiguous, and can also be interpreted, as you do, as a system that supplies to itself the energy it needs without necessity of a power source: it seems that the two systems are equivalent, but they are not, so a distinction is necessary. My fault not to have understood this fact before.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

Dear Dr. Rossi,
I agree with what Barry Mead wrote on most points. Your answer that the connection of Ecat SKLeps is basically the same as that of solar panels is probably correct, but the issues are the small differences we don’t really know yet.
As you wrote some time ago Ecat SKLep doesn’t drop the voltage but shut down when overloaded, which requires a perfect match between Ecats and inverters, because the inverter can’t really adapt to the output power of Ecats using MPPT. Also not really known is the output voltage range of the Ecat SKLep. I asked a few days ago if the output voltage could be set to 10.6V, but didn’t get an answer. Anyway, some preliminary data like the voltage range and maybe charts about output current and voltage should not be a secret.
Offering help and support when you are able to deliver the Ecat SKLep is very kind, but some technical data should be available much earlier because some parts needed for a system of which the Ecat SKLep is only a part of currently have to be ordered many months in advance.
Like Barry Mead probably a number of other people don’t know how many Ecat SKLep to order, myself included.
With kind regards
Horst Dieter Preschel
Horst Dieter Preschel:

Dear Dr. Rossi,
In your response to Frank Acland you claim that the ECat SKLep will operate when powered by a 12V battery, but will not operate in a self-sustaining mode (SSM).
Question 1
My understanding of SSM in the context of the ECat SKLep would be connecting the input of the ECat SKLep to a rechargeable battery while the output of the ECat SKlep it is connected to a charge controller that maintains the battery charge using some of the electric power produced by the ECat SKLep.
Is my understanding correct?
Question 2
If connect a charged 12VDC battery to the input of the ECat SKLep and connect a resistive load to its output, the ECat SKLep will not be in SSM and will operate to specification.
Is this correct?
Question 3
Earlier you have indicated that the ECat SKLep is capable of recharging batteries. If I setup the ECat SKLep properly, I should be able to use its output to charge a battery with its input connected to either a grid sourced 12VDC power supply, or a separate 12VDC battery. Neither case would be SSM.
Do you agree?
Question 4
By swapping batteries I could charge as many as I want without a grid connection.
Do you agree?
Question 5
Instead of swapping batteries I could uses relays to swap electrical connections and in effect create an SSM like condition where I periodically recharge the battery used to power the ECat SKLep
Do you agree?
Warm Regards
Dan Galburt
Dan Galburt:
1- if I understand what you say, the answer is no, so far we need the Ecat SKLep connected with a power source connected to the grid to obtain the SSM
2- yes
3- no
4- no
5- no
If you want the SSM, you need to connect the Ecat SKLep to a power source connected with the grid.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Dr. Rossi: If I had some additional information, about working configurations of E-CAT SK-LEP units and inverters, I would increase my outstanding order. I only ordered two units, but would definitely order more if I knew that more were needed for a working system. I think you could dramatically increase your existing order numbers by providing the public with a little more information about how to connect SK-LEP units to inverters for a working system. Some recommendations as to tested brands and models would also be helpful. Perhaps some photos of working systems, and connection diagrams to make the package complete. If you have already built hundreds of SK-LEP units then I don’t see why any of these requests are unreasonable.
Barry Mead:
The connections of the Ecat SKLeps are basically the same of the solar panels. We will give assistance and consulting to our clients before the delivery, when we will be ready to deliver. Anyway, thank you for your suggestion.

Dear Mr. Rossi,
thank you for your answer, but do not underestimate the credit that a youtube-influencer by his followers and viewers has.
They trust a test more if it was made by their youtube-influencer than a test of the producer.
Just to link an existing video of the producer in their channel? Thats something what a trustworthy youtuber will never make. An engineer (like the mentioned A.Schmitz) will do his own tests and by himself. And he also won’t accept a payment to stay trustworthy.

Dear Mr. Rossi,
i am a fan of the (german speaking) youtube channel of Andreas Schmitz, an electrician/engineer.
I would like to see him test your ecat sklep in your office. He has often hundred of thousands people who watch his videos. It would be a good promotion of your product because all of his followers are interested in this topic.
For other languages, maybe other readers have some youtube-channel suggestions?

Dear Dr. Rossi,
Thanks for answering my question even if the answer was not what I was hoping to hear.
While I think it’s possible that the ECat SKLep can be a successful product while requiring a grid a connected power supply, it would be much better if the ECat SKLep can also operates using a battery power source.
Question 1
Is it that the ECat SKLep never operates properly when using a battery power source, or that it does not operate reliably?
Taking a shot in the dark, the most obvious difference between a grid driven power supply and a battery sourced power supply is the alternating magnetic field produced by the current flowing though the grid wiring, and transformers.
Question 2
Is it possible that the ECat SKlep needs some level of 50-60 Hz alternating magnetic field to operate properly, and when you tried a battery power source you kept the ECat SKLep away from magnet fields generated by the grid?
Warm Regards,
Dan Galburt

b) Can the SKLep work at all, if it is plugged into a 12 V battery (even if not in SSM)?
c) Can it operate in self-sustain mode if connected to the grid (120/220 V AC)?
Thank you very much,

@ Steven Nicholes Karels
This is how I understand it.
The SKLep would need to be able to dedect harmonics to determine if the 12V DC is coming from an AC device.
I’m sure it can’t.
The statement could rather mean that the input and output of the SKLep must not form a short circuit.
In other words, the supply voltage and the output voltage are separate circuits.
It doesn’t matter where the voltage comes from, as long as it is not taken directly from the output voltage.
No feedback from a possibly fluctuating output voltage may reach the input.
The input probably needs a voltage stabiliser.
Best regards
RL
Dear Andrea Rossi,
I noted your comments in other posts about the SKLep not accepting 12VDC battery input. While I am designing and building systems that will use a 12VDC (10VDC to 14VDC – manually output adjustable), are there any special requirements on the output of the 12VDC power supply that I should be aware of?
Steven Nicholes Karels:
No, any power source that gets 110/220 V and yields 12 V is fit,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea, your answer to Dan Galburt confuses me: if “the ECat SKLep requires a 12VDC source of electrical energy”, how could it come from the grid, which provides 110/220V AC?
Also consider that I was intending to use a couple of your SKLep in a mobile application (namely a sailboat with a 12VDC system of batteries). Can you kindly clarify?
Thanks and keep up the good work
Piero
Piero Ferreri:
Sorry, but I think you misunderstood my answer to Dan Galburt ( or, maybe, I have not been sufficiently clear ): the power source gets the 110/220 AC, but turns it into 12 V DC.

Dear Dr. Rossi,
Maybe big buyers will place more underwritten orders when they see a working SKLep.

@JPR
Great suggestion, I agree: the circuit you propose is simple, clear, easy to check; the table upon which is put must be translucent and the camera must show all the connections and the voltmeter,amperometer, and wattmeter 24 hours per day, seven days per week and for several months straight: I am sure this way Leonardo Corporation will reach easily orders for one million units
Sergio
Dan Galburt and Andrea Rossi,
I think too that another demo would be very useful, notwithstanding the fact the the first one has been a good one.
I think it would be better to allow Frank Acland and his expert to set up a camera filming 24/7 for ever the Ecat SKLep module powering a led lamp, whatever it’s power, with very simple and clearly visible connections: one cable from the grid’s outlet to the power source, two cables from the power source to the Ecat (obviously one red cable for the positive pole and one black for the negative), two cables from the Ecat to the led lamp, with a clear view to the voltmeter, the amperometer, and the wattmeter .

@Brice
It is not enough to let Mr. Acland demonstrate the ecat. How many follower has he on youtube?
For a good marketing you need youtube-accounts with much followers.
Mr. Rossi: Please invite some to your factory and let them make their videos while they test the ecat. You can stand alongside while they make the tests, so that there is no possibility for industrial spying.
Best regards
Frank H.
Good day Mr Rossi,
There are certainly many customers who would cut open a SKLep after delivery just out of curiosity. I would do it too, but I am out of that period.
Perhaps you could show a disassembled SKLep at the sales presentation. I would be interested in that.
Seed treatment before sowing is also often experimented with, for example here:
https://www.nature.com/articles/srep05859
(Effects of cold plasma treatment on seed germination and seedling growth of soybean)
Have you been able to gain experience with the method you use and the radiated frequencies in relation to seed treatment?
Thank you very much and best regards RL.
RL:
That is obviously the reason why we cannot sell small quantities of the Ecat even if at a higher price. When we will deliver, every client will be able to satisfy his “curiosity”.
Warm Regards
A.R.
Dear Dr. Rossi,
I think it is clear that the community would very much like another, more convincing, demonstration of the Ecat SKLep. I suggest that you invite Frank Ackland to come with an old-fashened 100 Watt fillament light bulb. If he can demonstrate that the light output of the light bulb from a wall socket is equivalent to that of the SKLep during a period of one hour, then it is clear that the reactor works like promised. This very simple test takes only 1 hour and can be filmed with manual camera settings, which proves that the light output is equal. The SKLep must be fed with a regular 12V-battery, which normally can never supply enough power during one hour to a 100W light bulb. Showing some daylight at the background shows that the camera settings remained the same. This is very convincing test. Additional data (volt, amp.) makes it even more convincing.
What is your opinion about my proposal?
With kind regards,
Brice
Brice,
Thank you for your opinion,
Warm Regards
A.R.
Dear Dr. Rossi,
According to your specifications, the ECat SKLep requires a 12VDC source of electrical energy with a current flow consistent with one watt of power consumption to operate. Many customers, including myself, will want to obtain this one watt of electrical energy from a battery so that ECat SKLep can operate without a grid connection.
Question
Are you saying that the ECat SKLep that you intend to manufacture will operate from a grid driven power supply, but not from a battery power source?
Warm Regards,
Dan Galburt
Dan Galburt:
So far, yes,
Warm Regards
A.R.
Dear Dr. Rossi,
An Ecat SKLep with AC output, to be connected in parallel with the grid, must have the following electrical characteristics at the output:
a) – Same frequency
b) – Same phase
c) – Voltage value greater than the mains voltage (to function as a generator).
My question:
Have you already experienced this type of perfectly synchronized connection?
Kind Regards,
Italo R.
Italo R.:
I did when I worked upon power generators fueled by oil yielded from wasted vegetables, and for the Ecat the issues will be almost the same; besides, the technology would be the same used in solar PV systems.
Warm Regards
Andrea Rossi
Dear Dr. Rossi,
In your recent response to Audin you reminded him that the ECat SKLep requires an external energy source to operate, and implied that in its present form it could not power an electric vehicle.
Question 1
Have you operated an ECat SKLep using a 12V battery as an external energy source?
Question 2
If the answer to question 1 is no, is there any reason to believe that powering the ECat SKLep using an external 12V battery would not work?
Question 3
If the answer to either question 1 or 2 is yes, could the combination of ECat SKLeps, rechargeable batteries, and charge control electronics give the electric vehicle an unlimited range?
Question 4
If you have not tried such and application is there, in principle, any reason it should not be possible?
Warm Regards,
Dan Galburt
Dan Galburt:
This issue is very complex and answers imply confidential information and things that we still have not understood.
We are still working on it.

Dear Mr. Rossi,
Marketing is important. To reach more publicity you should contact f.e. youtube influencers of every country.
You could invite them to test your product (of course under your watch). It will cost you nearly nothing.
These Channels could be: DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse, Veritasium, Andreas Schmitz, Norio, Breaking Lab and surely much more.
Best regards

Dear Dr Rossi,
You still think you could start the deliveries of the Ecat SKLep within this year ?

Norman,
Yes,
Warm Regards
Andrea Rossi
@Steven Nicholes Karels,
thanks for the data. In this case I would need four Ecats in a row adjusted to about 10.6V each.
@Andrea Rossi
Is it possible to adjust the output voltage of the Ecat to 10.6V?
Your order reserves can easily reach millions if you for instance can do a demo under 3party review where you show an electric car driving 400+ miles – energized with your product and with no use of external energy sources. For the moment it seems like adequate basic marketing is missing from your project! Its really strange that there is no more demos if the goal is to sell millions of it directly to end customers.
Kind regards
Audun
Audun:
Thank you for the suggestion, but the Ecat so far needs an energy source even in SSM. Your opinion contains a good suggestion, though, even if in a different context we are thinking about.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Steven Nicholes Karels,
I like your approach. Out of curiosity, do you have a kWh meter, either, DC and/or AC? That’s especially useful if you have a time-varying load.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
An update on my Prototype systems. Recall I am using 3 12VDC power supplies to feed an Enphase IQ7A micro-inverter tied to the Grid. The 3 12VDC power supplies were adjusted to output 14 VDC and tied in series. They are a substitute until the SKLep units are received.
I recently added an AC power meter to measure the input voltage and power to the Prototype and a DC power meter to measure the DC power and voltage going to the micro-inverter. The output of the micro-inverter is measured by an AC power meter as part of an electrical subpanel.
AC Input – 116VAC @ 464.4W
DC Output of power supplies (tied in series) – 42.5 VDC @ 390.0W
Grid Power added: 364.7W @ 240.6 VAC
Measured Enphase conversion efficiency: 93.5% – within range of the specified conversion efficiency of 95%
Measured DC Power supply conversion efficiency: 84% – low, likely due to overloading the 100W power supplies
Averaged DC power supply output voltage: 14.2 VDC – 12VDC power supplies may be adjusted to this voltage.
I plan to do similar testing with the other two Prototypes I have constructed. I am ready for delivery of the SKLep units that I have ordered.

Dear Dr Rossi.
Another possible major demand for SKLep power is for international sea shipping…While crossing the ocean, ships peak power demand is probably not too much higher than average power demand during voyage because the engines should dominate the power consumption. Also make it feasible to increase speeds to reduce crossing times without a big cost increase.
And apparently even diesel/electric ship power systems are better than diesel direct to the propeller, and are being put into use recently:
https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/discoveries/electrified-ships/
so on these ships just replace the diesels with SKLep.
need 30-50 MW power per https://www.cruisemapper.com/wiki/752-cruise-ship-engine-propulsion-fuel#:~:text=(37%20megawatts).-,Marine%20diesel%20engines,80%20kilowatts%20per%20cubic%20meter.
This is new political hot spot too…..

Dear Andrea Rossi,
thanks for your work, your braveness and endurance.
We did order 10 Ecat SKLep some weeks ago and now our additional collective order did raise to more than 100.
Because you will deliver the ECats according to their date of order.
Should we now change our first 10-Ecats Order and increasingly add the new orders from the collective order?

HI, Dr Rossi
There was an article in the Washington Post about green aluminum. There are plans to revamp a Alcoa Intalco plant, but one the big problems is now to power the plant. The Bonneville Power Administration, says it dose not have enough power, to power the plant.
Robert Maxwell:
Thank you for the information,

Claus Buerger:
Better first to connect in parallel the DC output, eventually turn DC into AC by means of an inverter.
Warm Regards,

Dear Mr. Rossi,
thank you for your work and endurance.
Will there be an additional device that can be used to connect several AC Ecat units in parallel to get more output lines?

Dear Dr. Rossi
Some large scale SKLep usage thoughts.
You mentioned in the past, to paraphrase, that you thought the SKLep technology would be coupled with other energy sources for a hybrid solution to our energy demands. The obvious examples include some sort of combination of grid, battery, solar, and SKLep. This should allow the grid power to reduce to as green a solution as possible.
Here is a green grid solution upgrade I have not seen mentioned in this blog before that I think has the potential of really taking off when SKLep plants become available.
I recently remembered an implementation of hydroelectric power…during off peak demand times, the water gets pumped back up the “hill” to the source reservoir so that smaller rivers can still supply larger amounts of peak power.
reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity
I was surprised at how much of this pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH or PHES) is in use now to provide peak power needs. Switzerland has about one-third of its electrical demand through PSH. US has about 2%. EU about 5%. Peak power output apparently is 20+X this.
Unlike pure hydro-electric, this system only needs water to initially fill the reservoir, then only enough water supply to replace the evaporated/ground soaked water losses. This greatly increases the locations that are good potential PSH sites compared to regular hydro sites that need lots of water flow from a river. And total reservoir size is probably much less for same power output.
Of course, instead of pumping the water back up hill using grid power, use SKLep power plant. How much SKLep power to use to pump water vs supplying the grid would be an interesting overall efficiency calculation.
Perhaps the most interesting application here is to convert standard river supplied dams to “pump back hybrids” so they can supply peak power all the time. Currently they cannot supply peak power all the time because the reservoir is not filled by the river fast enough. This would dramatically increase the average power output from these dams and reduce capital cost of adding more green energy.
On the negative side, it might be less expensive to just put DC/AC converters on the SKLep plant. In this case use the dam as a “battery” that may be less expensive long term than regular batteries, and “charge” the “battery” during times when average power demand is less than the max power output of the SKLep plant.
Lots of net cost and efficiency nuances here so I might be totally off-base re this being a good SKLep plant application, but it probably should be looked at closely.
Best Regards
Larry G.
DrLG:

Forgive me – to clarify
It would be very helpful if a physical example of a typical home use was tested and demonstrated. Perhaps comprising 30 to 40 x 100w SKLeps with a suitable inverter.

Dear Dr. Rossi: I have been a loyal follower and advocate for your research for more than 12 years, but I can tell you that if you DO NOT start shipping units before the end of the year even I will stop being a loyal follower. I think there are many things you could do to increase interest in the E-CAT and improve the sales numbers. First take some photos of units attached to inverters powering various loads. Second take some photos of your fabrication facility with the robotic manufacturing systems you say are ready. Third, recommend a few inverter models/brands that you have tried and tested with the E-CAT so the public will know what to buy when their E-CAT does ship. Please do SOMETHING to help assure the public that your product is real and that production is possible. You are losing credibility by doing nothing. I want you to succeed please try harder for everyone’s sake.

The Israel company, http://h2pro.co , is based on research performed at the Technion. They are planning large scale production facilities for ‘green’ Hydrogen. Their stated goal is to produce Hydrogen at ~ $2.00 per Kilogram. With further development, their long term plan is to produce Hydrogen at ~ $1.00 per Kg.
Another company developing ‘Green H2’ is https://www.sgh2energy.com/ (super green H2). They use a different approach than H2pro.
Besides the similarity of ‘E-TAC’ to ‘E-CAT’, the cost per Kg. of ‘Green H2’ would benefit from access to lower cost electricity. (from the E-CAT).

Dear Dr. Rossi,
You described plan A and B, time for a plan C.
Raise the price of the Ecat to $300 and you have the sales for 1 million Cats for $250 now at 800,000 units. After the run on the e-cat has really started and the million mark has been exceeded, it is necessary to credit the additional charge of 50 § / e-cat to the 800,000 faithful pre-orderers
rub, in whatever form. This allows you to look to the future in a relaxed manner and the Cat can move forward. the world becomes a little happier.

Hope your Birthday was an excellent one and full of expected and unexpected presents!
Have ‘followed’ you and your team’s Herculean Labours for some 11 years and with David’s post and,no doubt thoughts of other Readers, particularly those, as myself who have ‘signed up’ for 30 + units, would be delighted to see such ‘a home’ so equipped and functioning on relatively few units – is this unreasonable? as ‘all will be revealed’ and’you will be individually aided’ is getting rather tiresome and stale

Dear dr. Rossi,
The tension , when will the curtain be lifted, goes on and causes big pains to us readers and buyers.
But now a reputable question: Would you be able to start the distribution of the SKlep, if the 1 million goal would be reachhed in the next days. If not, how long would it need?
Thank you for answering and the time, you invest beside your daily work to this blog.

Dear Dr Rossi,
Has the SKLep been tested for use in homes?
The reason I ask is because it could be financially interesting to a home user like me.
It could become interesting at my place with following use case:
– 30 x 100W SKLep’s
– a 2 (or 3) phase grid tied inverter
– possibility to inject unused electricity to the grid
– receiving a fixed (but low) price for injected electricity
– using a part of the energy for heating (heath pump for example)
Adding a battery pack would not benefit the use case, they cost to much right now.
Would this use case be possible with SKLep’s?
Kind regards
David
David:
The application you describe is possible.

Mr. Steven Nicholes Karels
Imagine this calculation: 100 generators of 100W = 10kW arranged in an area of 1x1m and continuously, via a regulator, charging the batteries 65kWh of the electric car. The average consumption of 20kWh / 100km is, with the classic equipment, only with batteries, for a range of 300km in winter and for one charge. By adding 100 generators, the range in the winter will increase to 450 km, but mainly the batteries can be charged overnight without using the mains. It’s an incredible improvement for city car traffic, it’s a revolution.
All the best J.Š.
Mr. Steven Nicholes Karels
I think the 100W/12V generator is exactly the ideal value for rapid expansion to customers. It is at the limit of the possibilities of both reducing and increasing of the electric power. This is important at the start of production.
All the best J.Š.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Can you discuss the prospective advantages of a 1kW SKLep compared to a 100W SKLep? Not actual differences but why you are exploring the 1kW version? For example, easier to manufacture, lower cost/kW-hr produced, better control, more likely user acceptance…
Dr Rossi,
The report commissioned in the USA to the team of Prof Lindsay Krall of the Stanford University of California, related to the danger of the small modular nuclear power plants has certified that they are 35 times more dangerous of the normal nuclear plants. Which is your opinion ?

Roberto
Roberto:
Intuitively, small modules should have less efficiency and, consequently, generate more nuclear wastes/MW; also, many units have more probabilities to generate human errors than one unit; this said, I do not have enough information to have a precise opinion.
