Dr Rossi,
The suggestions of Neri Accornero are very intelligent: will you apply them ?

Carissimo Dot. Rossi
Situazione Specifica: la mia domanda è per capire quanto si perde nella conversione da DC-AC in poteza.
Se il mio fabbisogno è di 1000w , non un watt di meno,
10 E-Cat da 100w sono suffficenti per avere in
tensione continua e in corrente per avere la potenza che serve con il carico da 1000w ?
Se poi aggiungo un convertiture per avere 220vac, una perdita di potenza è inevitabile.
Presumo che il n° da ordinare sia maggiore a 10 anche per avere un certo margine di sicurezza
Queste cose sono da specificare ai tuoi clienti altrimenti saranno necessari ulteriori ordini dopo la prima consegna.
ENGLISH SYNOPSIS: How much is the loss of the inverters/transformers ?
How can your Clients decide how many Ecat they need ?
Erasmo Bardelli:
The efficiency of the inverters depend on the model you will choose; normally it is 95% for the good quality ones; we will give the necessary specific information to our Clients when we will contact them to deliver, and in that phase the pre-orders will be corrected if necessary, if the Client will decide to proceed to turn the pre-order into an actual order. In contrary case, the Client will be free to cancel the pre-order, as explained in the pre-order form.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Andrea Rossi,
https://ecatthenewfire.com/pre-order-the-ecat-sklep/ and sub-pages do not appear to reference the Ecat SSM. May I suggest an update in several places?
Dear Dr. Rossi,
I would like to ask:
A) Is the electricity output from the E-Cat SKLep SSM completely uninterrupted DC?
or
B) The output is DC, but contains small discontinuities on the order of milliseconds or millionths of seconds.
Have A Successful Year 2023
Jon D.
Jon Darrell:
It is completely uninterrupted DC,
Warm Regards,

Caro dottor Rossi, una domanda per la mia curiosità ma che potrebbe servire anche a chiarire alcune cose nel blog .
Il Tuo E_Cat ha l’uscita di 10v dc e sopporta un carico di 100w.
Vale a dire un carico di 1 Ohm e 10A.
Con questo carico massimo stabilito la tensione rimane a 10v o cade leggermente.
Il Tuo consiglio dopo i Tuoi test a che percentuale è meglio caricare l’E-Cat?
A mio parere il lavoro dopo l’uscita in tesione dall’E-Cat è , per una certa sicurezza di funzionamento , più complessa di quello che la mggior oarte crede.
GRAZIE e BUON LAVORO.

Dear Andrea,
Does the SKLep or SKLep SSM generate any external magnetic fields that need to be taken into consideration?
Thanks in advance,

Dear Andrea, the more I think about the “ECAT battery” the more I believe it could be your trump card:
1: Factories you plan to activate for construction should only deal with one battery model (12v 10W), at least for the first year.
2: If you were able to make them in a standard format such as 18650 or 26560 lithium or AA stylus, there are many modular battery holder systems on the market that allow series / parallel assembly by the buyer according to his needs.
3: All manufacturers of battery-powered devices (portable lamps, power tools, etc.) would be the first buyers and you would quickly reach the booking target you deem appropriate.
4: You shouldn’t worry about supplying 1, 5, 10 or 100 kW power systems according to the buyer’s requests which would involve diversification in the assembly line, construction time, testing, storage and then distribution, and above all you would not have the responsibility of the functioning of the entire system and of any damage due to its malfunction.
5: you would begin to penetrate the market ” bottom up” giving less annoyance to the large energy producers and suppliers, who would not immediately notice the revolution you are about to trigger … you only sell 10W batteries, who should be afraid?
The activation method remains to be studied carefully if you do not want to sell already activated “batteries”, I will send some ideas and drawings to your address.

Dear Dr. Rossi,
I am finding the discussion of a “battery” format with polar contacts at each end of the SSM units very interesting. When I saw the new design, a cylinder of 30 x 60 mm, I immediately envisioned a long tube, like a flashlight body, to hold them. Pressure contacts at each end of the tube, pop the individual units in, screw on the top, et voila! 10 stacked cylinders make a 120v, 100w tube, ten tubes in parallel give you 1Kw. Tubes can be used in various configurations for different uses. It would allow you to use solutions already devised for batteries, such as leaf or coil spring contacts. Easy to assemble and disassemble, and it would be intuitively obvious how the collections work. I don’t know how practical that is, but it popped into my mind as a possibility.

Dear Andrea, Wilfried Babelotzky’s idea is really smart, you could only sell very long lasting (10 years) 12V 1W pre-activated ECAT batteries and let users assemble them as they wish, as is now the case with 18650 lithium batteries. Just with a similar format with poles at both ends. You would no longer have to worry about setting up systems with many kW or indicating DC-AC converters widely available on the market.

Neri Accornero:
Thank you for your suggestion, I agree this solution is intelligent.

Dear Andrea.
From my own simplistic assumptions and calculations I believe that about 17 SKSSM 10W reactors will be able to fit nicely behind the back seat of a Tesla Model 3 and continuously feed its basic battery pack ( rated at 50kWh energy storage) from a cable through the floor to this big pack. The idea assumes that this pack needs to be 100% run down and recharged to its full capacity,some 30 times, and also the 17 reactors never stop charging the big pack. This means that no external charging is needed over the next 10 years of the SSM’s assumed life span of about 10 years. Calculations to illustrate this notion are as follows:
Basic data used: (hoping no zeros have been dropped )
a) 1h = 3600s and 1year = 31,536,000s
b) 50kW = 50,000 J/s
c) 50kWh = 180,000,000 J J stands for Joules
Basic assumptions let us use:
Average Driver mileage per year = 9,000
Warm condition total range = 300 mi
So, 30 full emptying/top-ups per year are needed. This equates to
30 x 180,000,000 J using c) above.——–1)
Now, Assuming one SKSSM is running at an output 10W = 10 J/s , it can supply 10J/s x 31,536,000s for a whole year = 315,360,000 J.
30 recharging sessions will yield 30 x 315,360,000Joules——-2)
Thus, to get how many reactors will be needed, we use numbers in 1 and 2 above;
Total number of reactors = 30 x 180,000,000/315,360,000 = 17.1
If one can get 17 reactors side-by-side across the width of the Tesla or there are 2 rows of 8 or 9 one on top of the other, then this very simplistic analysis indicates to me that, volumetrically, this is doable. However, I do accept that there could be other things that are being ignored and might well invalidate this exercise.
Any comments? Thanks. Jean Pierre.

Dear Andrea,
I suggest you to develop a 1 W nano ECAT SKLep SSM, without switch and without housing. It should be maintenance-free, encapsulated, have only one input and output, be fixed at 5V and always switched on, so that it is disposed of after 10 to 15 years. A highly automated, low-tolerance production process was to be used to achieve the longest possible service life. Designs that then assemble very many nano ECATs in further automated manufacturing should have fault-tolerant circuits in which individual ECATs that fail do not cause damage.
This would make scalable applicability possible, from smartphones to space rockets. The form factor I envision is a AAAA battery.
Best regards
Wilfried
Dr. Rossi,
Some stray thoughts with respect to an on-off switch being built into the Mini SKlep SSM:
– A switch per SSM disrupts scalability. Assemblies of SSMs would be problematic to build and to operate.
– Mechanical switches have a higher failure rate than most solid state components.
– Mechanical switches are vulnerable to environmental degradation.
– Individual solar cells within solar panels don’t have switches, although Solar Panels often do have disconnect switches.
– Common alkaline and Lithium batteries don’t have built-in switches.
– Car Lead Acid batteries don’t have switches.
– Car alternators don’t have built-in switches.
– If a power switch is required to differentiate between current-draw and non-current-draw situations there may be solid state circuits that can achieve that.
Food for thought, Best Wishes,

P.S. I have no idea, it does not depend on us.
Dear Dr. Rossi
You posted that the ECAT Mini SSM will have a on/off switch. Assuming my recollection is correct, then if one leaves the module with this switch in the “on” position, but there is no load attached to the module (open circuit at output), does this reduce the operational life of the module?
Worded differently to be sure I get my question across correctly, the operational lifetime estimate is for the switch in the on position and a load of any size other than infinite (open circuit) attached.
Best Regards
LarryG
Photonblaster:
The hypothesized lifespan is referred to operational time with a load connected,

Dear Andrea, are there any plans to fill up the trunk of an electric car with E-Cat SSM‘s connected to charge the battery and drive it 24/7 for a week with different drivers? The car could be painted with ads etc.
This has big potensial in regards to draw media attention and give huge marketing effects …

Dear Andrea,
I think you must also think about users who want to connect the grid via solar inverters and need to step up DC voltages to some hundreds Volts.

Dr. Rossi had said that the 24/7 streaming of the Mini Sklep SSM would be activated in the first days of February with the possibility of bringing it forward to the end of January and that everything was already ready.

Dear Dr. Rossi,
about the comment of Lars Olov. He is right.
Leonardo should offer different sizes of ecat. not just 10W and 100W, but also 500W, 1KW, 2KW, 2.5KW..each in a proper box. Just plug and play.

To my fellow future E-cat owners,
As we all know electricity, indepentdently of its source of origin, can be dangerous if not handled correctely. Both as a high voltage hazard for people and a possible source of fire.
When the E-Cat SSM starts to be delivered it is very important that enthusiast costumers that are not certified electricians don’t start to do experiments on there own. If they do experiments and don’t keep it within safety limits sooner or later there will be an accident. If an accident occur the E-cat will be blamed and that can affect its possibilities to be sold.
E.g. if there is an accident with an airplane, all planes of that model will be grounded even if the accident is most likely caused by pilot error.
Within the EU there is a Low Voltage Directive
https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/sectors/electrical-and-electronic-engineering-industries-eei/low-voltage-directive-lvd_en
My personal recommendation is that if you as a future E-Cat costumer are not a certified electrician don’t work with higher voltages than 48 V DC and use only standard 12 or 24 V DC to AC inverters. If you are or hire a certified electrician you can work with higher voltages and use Solar PV products for AC conversions. But we must first wait for Leonardocorp to issue recommendations how to put together the the E-Cat SSM modules in different standard configurations.
Best Regards,
Karl-Henrik Malmqvist
Karl- Henrik Malmqvist:
Correct. Specific instructions and recommendations will be put in the manuals.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea,
There is a lot of questions about different options what you can receive when buying an E-cat, since everything is very new it is understandable. Do you think it would help customers if there are more standardised products? Now it seems to be so many different options and not easy to understand what you can get. I would like plug and play products for the voltage suitable for my country and the I understand if I have to choose among some standard power outlets.
Lars Olov:
Thank you for the suggestion,

Dear Andrea ,
I want to connect 100 W. to an inverter, but this should be with output 120 V.DC. (for putting on the net)
Can I order this 100 W. – 120 V.DC output in 1 piece ?
Or do I have to order 10 x SKLep 10 W. and place them myself in parallel for reaching 120 V.DC. ?
Or is that not possible?
When this 100 W.-120 V.DC Works , i can multipli to 300 W. with placing 3 x 100 W. In series (= 360 V.DC and the best Voltage input for an inverter)
And this x 2 or 3 for reaching 600 or 900 W.DC.
Does anyone else have something similar in mind ?
And how you will do it ?
Martin:
We estimate 100000 hours, theoretically the statistic projections do not forbid a factor 2, but I think it is impossible to consider it more than just a hypothesys that can absolutely be wrong. I wouldn’t take it in consideration now.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Wilfried Babelotzky says :
If it is only an estimate and not a shutdown, wouldn’t factor 2 be statistically expectable?
Your answer :
I think so
What do you mean with that factor 2 ?
Do you mean it will probably 200.000 h. instead of 100.000 h. ?
Martin:
Both combinations are possible.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Dr Rossi
Can you confirm that the Mini SKlep SSM while not consuming anything at the input ( SSM ) is still able to generate 10W at the output?

Good morning Dr. Rossi
The question posed by Maico in my opinion is of fundamental importance in the design of a versatile configuration that produces electricity.
Maico in the third point of the post asks if there are contacts that can be managed externally to the module: that aspect is basic since replacing the switch included in the module precisely with 2 contacts that can be managed by relay according to the particular needs of the user would help to make the various designs much more flexible.
Thank you for your attention and kind regards.

Dear Dr. Rossi,
we, as in our possibilities, have tried to sustain the ecat since many years.
Two questions, the second one more complex and delicate, and I’ll expand it.
1. In my knowledge in december 22 there were 800000 preorder placed. Are we over now the 900000 or so, or more?
2. The qestion is: have you ever had the suspect that some kind of external organization has ever infiltrate the working group? The posticipation of the public release, let me humbly say, seem to corrispond to some not so identifiable tactics, even not known to you Andrea (I declare that I have personally no doubt in the reality of the technology/ecat, and in your full dedition to it).
Further considerations and explanation:
We have seen in the past many suspect, if not verified, intromissions of secret services in the “nation security” posed by the energy production.
I refer to possibily the Pons-Fleischmann experiment, the more exotic Ettore Majorana machine, and so on, also non-energy related but world-changing ideas.
The tactic is well known, or a direct sabotage of the tecniques, or a posticipation infinite of the relase to the masses, due to a sequence of reasons all plausible, that end in disaffection and delusion of the enthusiasts followers, (the well known DDT, decoy, deceive and trash), that we have seen in many non energy related project (frequently humanitarian or “change the world”-like organizations).
If the device will be released to the masses, it WILL be a very significant sign of a real change in the ruling structure of your world. Let’s hope.
Please some your considerations about.
EcatNews:
1- We will disclose only the reaching of the necessary target, because many times we receive pre-orders that eventually we will have to cancel because during the vetting we discover that the Buyers do not have the corresponding funds, or because of other reasons.
2- I am not able to answer the issues raised in the other part of your comment.

Dear Dr. Rossi. How can I look up my old orders that are now many years old? I’ve slowly lost track! (I’ve also emigrated in the meantime!) Many greetings, Kurti
SALM Kurt:
All the pre-orders have been registered. If you made orders before we started the pre-orders collection for the Ecat SKLep, you must remake the pre-order, conserving the priority date for the delivery, as we already said. You should send the new pre-order form you can find here:

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Is the standard SKLep unit a DC input/DC output only, with additional components available for AC input and/or AC Output? Such as AC to DC wall adapters or power supplies and a DC to AC inverter separate from the standard SKLep unit?

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Reviewing current literature on Commercial Aviation jet engines, it appears that there is a preference to ultra-high bypass ducted turbine and unducted turbine or prop engines, primarily to reduce fuel consumption. Current designs will support Mach 0.8 and 0.85 performance.
The eCat SKLep technology might be well positioned to support these two approaches, where the fuel-burning engine is replaced with electric motors powered by a combination of battery and SKLep power sources.
The airline aircraft energy usage is typically: maximum power for take-off; then reduced power for the climb to altitude; then low power while cruising at altitude; then descent also using lower power; with enough energy reserve for a miss-approach climb and reattempted landing (plus usually a 45-minute reserve is usually required).
I suggest that the optimum combination is sufficient battery capacity to accommodate take-off and landing with a 45-minute reserve, coupled with a sufficient SKLep capacity to completely recharge the battery system during lower consumption portions of the flight.
In the rare case where there is little or no cruise at altitude time, then the aircraft could be recharged at the Gate by the SKLep and supplemented by ground electrical power (an aircraft supercharger). This would be done during the passenger unloading, cleaning of the interior, and passenger reloading times.
Steven Nicholes Karels:

Dear Andrea Rossi,
In your response to Maico, it appears you said that the gridless SKLep module has a mechanical switch on the side of the SKLep to turn it on or off but no control line or contacts to activate or deactivate the SKLep module.
1. Please verify or correct.
2. If true, then that suggests that the SKLep cannot be remotely turned on or off. If so, then the SKLep, once activated will burn through the 100,000 hour operating time more quickly than it would be if remotely turned on and off. Please comment on this.
Dear Dr Rossi
if I understand correctly the Mini SKLep SSM has no connection to the Network.
Two questions if I may:
1) Is switching on and off via a switch?
2) If yes, is the switch positioned on the Mini SKlep SSM?
3) or are there 2 contacts that must be closed from the outside thus successfully piloting an SSM MiniSklep array via an external customer electronics?
Regards Maico
Maico:
1. yes
2. yes

Dear Andrea: Are you getting any pressure from the elite power brokers of the world to HOLD UP your technology until such time as they can impose more stringent tyranny on the public? Perhaps after robots are able to replace most human jobs? Or perhaps after the Central Bank Digital currencies control all money? The holdup does seem unnecessary and arbitrary.
Barry Mead:
No,

Dear Dr. Rossi,
i suggest to make it the other way round.

Dear Andrea,
1) Is the 100,000 operating hours for the ECAT an estimate or a technical limit beyond which the ECAT switches off?
2) If it is only an estimate and not a shutdown, wouldn’t factor 2 be statistically expectable?
3) If it is a shutdown, do you reserve the right to deactivate this shutdown at a later date?
It would be nice if you can/are allowed to answer.
Continued success and best regards
Wilfried
Wilfried Babelotzky:
1- It is an estimate
2- I think so

Dear Andrea,
I am happy to hear that the development of the E-CatSKL SSM 10 Wh/h is going well.
Most of your early orders for the grid version are from non commersial, enthusiast costumers that all have their individual ideas for what purposes they want to use the product.
The grid 100Wh/h version was originally offered in 4 versions: DCin-DCout, DCin-ACout, ACin-DCout, ACin-ACout. Now there is no need for an input and the costumer has to take care of the DC-output himself/herself.
The SSM modules can be put together in hundreds of ways. In order for your support team not to drown in tens of thousands of costumer questions it would be easier to offer just a few standard versions. Enthusiast costumers are price sensitive and many want to convert to an AC-output. The cheapest standard inverters have 12 V DC input and a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand Watts AC output. My suggestion is to include these 4 stacked versions:
100 Wh/h 12 volt DC output (10 units put together in a stack with one DC output)
200 Wh/h 12 volt DC output (20 units put together in a stack with one DC output)
1000 Wh/h 12 volt DC output (100 units put together in a stack with one DC output)
2000 Wh/h 12 volt DC output (200 units put together in a stack with one DC output)
and of course individual 10 Wh/h units that the costumer can put together as wished but with limited technical support.
When you put the 10Wh/h units in parallel the current will be big so by offering stacked versions with appropriate connection poles it will be easier for the costumer to connect to an inverter.
Please take the above into consideration when you will update your orderform and change of order form.
I myself have ordered two grid 100 Wh/h Dcin-DCout, but would if possible like to change to one 200Wh/h SSM 20-stacked version with 12 V DC output.

Dearest Andrea,
In response to the questions about grid vs ssm versions you reply “many pre-orders have not been changed, means there is a demand for both types.”
I don’t know how to do this, and in fact on the pre order form there currently is no mention of the SSM version.
So there is no way to order the SSM version, or to change an old order.
In this case your reply seems a little odd.
Love and Cuddles,
Motu
Motu:
To convert a pre-order to the SSM version you can send a conversion order here:

Somebody already did it, but I suggest to wait that we publish its order form, which is premature.
The price will be the same.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Are still working (or involved with a partner/other party) on jet engine development using eCat technology?
@Steven Nicholes Karels:
“I foresee a possible use for your gridless SKLep units. Military aircraft. ….”
And, of course, essentially unlimited range, and negligible weight of fuel.
Rodney.
Dear Andrea Rossi,
I foresee a possible use for your gridless SKLep units. Military aircraft. An aircraft made of non-radar reflective material (or of stealth design), the SKLep units produce no heat, so, no heat trail for missiles to lock onto. Electric motors could provide propulsion with the electric motors surrounded by radar absorbing materials. This type of aircraft would be difficult to detect, track, or engage with conventional weapons.
Steven Nicholes Karels:
Thank you for your insight,

Dear Dr. Rossi,
could you mention in which specific situation a grid connected ecat has an advantage vs the SSM-ecat?
I can not believe that there is such a situation. And Leonardo could also save the costs for the connector and transformator in case of 230V input.
I reckon you can produce just the SSM ecat. Less versions – less costs.
Best regards
Simon
Simon:
We are ready for both versions, it will be a choice of the Customers: many pre-orders have not been changed, means there is a demand for both types.
The price will be the same.

Dear Andrea,
can you explain this answer better?
I can’t imagine a situation were the grid connected version may be better tha the off grid versione.
Perhaps I understimate something.

Dear Andrea,
I would like to make a suggestion as to how you can possibly start production immediately.
Make the manufacturer of the ECATs the proposal that he may produce as many ECATs as he needs at his own expense, i.e. without your margin, in order to convert his production completely to CO2-free production.
The ECAT would then be the very first energy source that really works CO2 free and the manufacturer would have a gigantic marketing advantage for his other customer. You would have no costs for it and the manufacturer has an energy source that is certainly cheaper than what he has been using so far.
Best regards

If the energy supply was truly infinite, then no matter how much was harvested, no effect would occur. Otherwise, nice story.
@ Gerard McEk
I have asked to ChatGPT:
Write a fictional story that contains the following elements:
1) – on earth a scientist managed to extract infinite energy from vacuum (ZPE)
2) – all this energy extracted from the vacuum is creating imbalances in the space-time fabric of the universe
3) – extraterrestrial civilizations take measures against the earthlings to avoid a universal catastrophe
It is interesting to note how ChatGPT has added particulars and details that were not part of the input
@Italo R
Interesting story Italo R!
If you really asked ChatGPT, what did you ask it to write?
Thanks if you can answer,
Gerard
It was the day that Earth science had taken an unprecedented step forward. A solitary scientist, after years of research, had managed to extract infinite energy from the vacuum, known as Zero Point Energy (ZPE).
This discovery had immediately changed the world, providing an inexhaustible source of clean and low-cost energy. But soon it became clear that this new energy source had an unexpected side effect: it was creating imbalances in the fabric of the universe’s space-time.
Strange and unpredictable phenomena began to occur, such as radiation storms and gravitational anomalies. Earth scientists were alarmed and desperately sought a solution, but it was too late.
The extraterrestrial civilizations, which had closely followed developments on Earth, took drastic measures to prevent a universal catastrophe. They invaded Earth with a fleet of advanced spacecraft, and imposed an embargo on the use of ZPE energy.
Humans rebelled, but were powerless against their invaders’ sophisticated technology. After months of fighting, Earth was forced to submit to the conditions imposed by extraterrestrial civilizations.
Peace was restored, but at a high price. Humanity had discovered Zero Point Energy, but had also discovered that its uncontrolled use could have disastrous consequences. The lesson had been learned at a high cost, and would never be forgotten again.

Hello Dr Rossi
Now pre orders have been opened some time it is interesting to know how popular (ratio) are the orders for 100watt and 10watt SKLep
1) Is 100watt as popular as 10watt?
2) Is 100watt more popular than 10watt?
3) Is the most popular then by approx 2x 5x 10x or more?
Thank you for your time

Dear Dr Rossi
If I may, I would like to try to summarize a few points to understand if I’ve missed something:
1) Have both the Mini SKlep Wired and the SSM already obtained the Safety and CE certification?
2) Have both the Mini SKlep Wired and the SSM already carried out the performance certification, based on the technical specification, by an internationally known certifying body?
3) If yes, will the documentation certifying points 1) and 2) be supplied only during the delivery phase of the product so as not to give an advantage to the competition and not “complicate life” for the companies that have carried out the certification?
4) Is the objective of the 24/7 Mini SKLep SSM Streaming to allow you to finally reach the million pre-orders and start with production and delivery? (which we are all looking forward to)
5) If after 6/8 weeks from the 24/7 streaming of the Mini SKlep SSM the goal of one million pre-orders has not yet been reached, do you already have other “Public Actions” in mind to reach the goal?
a) Public demos inviting Tech influencers?
b) Advertising in newspapers and magazines in the energy sector?
c) Other?
Thanks in advance for your replies 🙂
We are all anxiously awaiting the wonderful news of the start of production.

Dear Dr. Rossi
1) After the start of the 24/7 Mini SKLep SSM streaming, do you expect a further increase in the number of pre-orders?
2) Are you confident that within a few weeks you will be able to reach one million pre-orders to start production?
3) Do you think that the Big Buyer you met in December after watching the Mini SKLep SSM stream can materialize his pre-orders and therefore help you finally reach the goal of one million pre-orders to start production?

Dear Andrea ,
My question was :
If I order an SKLep 100 W. with DC output, will it be delivered with a 12V. or 120V. Output ?
Your answer : 12 VDC, to obtain 120 VDC you will need a step up
New question :
1. What do you mean with “ a step up “ ?
2. Does this mean that I cannot connect 600 W. ( 6 x SKLep 100W.) to an inverter with input +/- 360 VDC?
Martin:
The Step-Up is the device that raises the Voltage of a DC flow without changing the power ( moreless, depending on the efficiency of the Step-Up ).
Otherwise, you can combine more units in par or in ser to obtain the Voltage and the power you need.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea ,
1. If I order an SKLep 100 W. with DC output, will it be delivered with a 12V. or 120V. Output ?
2. If this is with a 120V output, and I want to connect 3 pieces in series to get 360V to connect to an inverter: can the 3 separate ECat’s be adjusted to have the same 120V output ?
Thanks for answer.

DrLG,
I had previously suggested to AR to use a few of the shipping containers onboard the Container Ship to hold the SKLep units to power the main propulsion system.
With almost unlimited power, very fast Container Ships could rapidly cross oceans and virtually never need to stop for refueling. No need for transit fossil-based fuels while at sea and no need for shore power while at port.
Some short distance shipping ships are being built using battery technology. So, the transition to SKLep-based systems should be smooth.
The questions are:
1. Does SKLep technology really work?
2. Can SKLep devices be made in massive production rates and quantities?

Dear Andrea,
There’s been a lot of talk about certification but it’s a little confusing. There are two types of certifications:
1. Safety Compliance Certification – that the device is safe and compliant to use by law
2. Performance Certification – that the device can perform and produce the power as advertised.
We know that you have 1 already.
How about 2, are you getting a 3rd party to do this and when?

Dear Andrea Rossi,
About 80% of the commercial goods are shipped by sea on Commercial Container ships. The Commercial Container ships have the main propulsion engine and an auxiliary system, usually a fossil fuel system, to provide electricity when at port or as needed at sea. A number of countries, mostly America and Europe, require the use of shore power to minimize air pollution while the ship is at their ports.
These shore power units are divided into two major categories: High (6.6 kV and 11 kV) and Low (240 V and 480V) systems. High systems at a port range from 0.8 MW to 16 MW.
The High units are primarily used for Cargo ships and Cruise ships. The Low units are typically used for fishing and pleasure boats.
An eCat SKLep-based system could provide this type of power. While existing facilities already exist in the USA ports and European ports, a number of Asian countries are considering adopting the international standard and they will require the use of such shore port for ships at their respective ports.
This might be an attractive market to enter for the Asian countries where existing electrical system power may be inadequate to provide such power for their ports.
Thoughts?

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Yet another application for SKLep technology
Escalators and Moving Sidewalks
Escalators will consume about 4 to 8 kW of electrical power when fully loaded (2 ideal persona per step). However, most of the time, they have no persons or very few persons on the escalator. In this case, the eCat SKLep provided power can be very low when commercial power is available to supplement the SKLep provided power when there is a heavy demand. Likely, a 2 kW SKLep supply of power would be continuously needed for the base level of power requirements. This could be provided by 200 Mini-SKLep units connected to 6 microinverters connected to the commercial power supplying energy to the escalator. Escalators run about 14 hours per day on the average. So, the component cost (200 x $25USC + 6 x $200 USD) of about $6,200 could be paid for in a few years.
Moving Walkways require (roughly) 60 to 70 W per meter of travel. They may run continuously or most of the day, like escalators. A 50-meter long walkway might require 3 kW to 4 kW of power when fully loaded. Again, sizing for 1/2 power would suggest an SKLep ensemble generating 1.5 kW of electrical power running in parallel with commercial power. This could be achieved with 150 Mini-SKLep units and 5 microinverters. The component cost is about $5,000 and could be paid for by savings of commercially supplied electrical power in a few years of operation.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Yet another potential application for eCat SKLep technology
Commercial Pizza machines
There are approximately 78,000 pizza shops in the USA. Each shop has one (or more) commercial pizza machines. Each machine draws about 20 kW of electrical energy and they run an average of 12 hours per day.
Note: There is a political movement to replace all fossil fuel devices with electric units in the USA (and elsewhere)
20 kW electric power generation would require 2,000 mini-SKLep units which would cost about $50,000 USD.
2,000 minim-SKLep units times 78,000 restaurants yields about 150 million mini-SKLep units. At current electricity prices, the units would pay for themselves in a few years. The ovens can last for 25 years but are typically replaced every 10 years.
Dear Andrea
Regarding the YouTube cut out issues. One idea I read somewhere on ECW was to have two independent streams with at least the click in view. If these were started at different times it’s unlikely they would be cut at the same time.
If from a different view point two streams could be useful in other ways too.:
Giving a different perspective maybe from the back showing the lamps illumination of something else. Or some other interesting aspect of the test.
Adding security by allowing blind spots to be checked when working with it remotely.
Just an idea.

Dear Dr. Rossi,
about YouTube repeatedly stopping your LiveStream:
It is highly likely that YouTube secretly records all LiveStream channels on its own hard drives (in totalitarian regimes and Police states this is a common thing).
For that reason, it is obvious that YouTube has some non-public set limit either in GB or time limit. Therefore, your YouTube LiveStream will always automatically stop after 11 days.
It is useful to apply and test your own LiveStream solution, which will be displayed on your own website. So no YouTube secret rules will interrupt your LiveStream.
A list of software for LiveStream (some free, some for a few dollars a month) is for example here:

Dear Andrea
When streaming the SSM model in effect the PSU becomes irrelevant.
Would you be able to add some other meters to the live stream as an indicator of the output?
NaturaIly It would be nice to see the output power, current and/or output voltage if it was possible with out distributing the larger purpose of the test of course. Would that be possible?
But short of that a non invasive way might be to include a light meter in front of the lamp in the streaming shot. At night time it might give a good indication.
Just an idea

A) Is this correct?
B) Will a grid-connected ECat SKLep 100W version and a stand-alone ECat SKLep version be produced then?
C) For consistency of understanding, could we refer to the ECat with 230VAC input as the grid-connected version and
D) refer to the ECat with 12VDC input as the stand-alone version?
E) Up to what output line has an interconnection of the ECats with 12VDC output already been tested?

Dear Andrea we are all waiting to see ECAT in SSM on your site, please don’t put the spotlight on the scale to prove that there are no hidden batteries, the less things clutter up the scene the better, and then someone could always suspect that you fixed the scale to the weight you want since you won’t be able to continuously measure weight while streaming. Just put one or two small G4 – 3w 12v led lamps in parallel, no one will be able to suspect hidden batteries. If you also reduce the round container of the ECAT as much as possible, it would be even better.

Wilfried Babelotzky,
The effective cost of eCat SKLep technology is both simple to calculate and complex at the same time.
A $25 USD SKLep produces 10 Watts of electrical energy and can, reportedly, work for 100,000 hours. Therefore, over its expected lifetime, it will produce 1 MegaWatts of electrical power. This results in an average cost of $0.025 USD per kW-hr. This is the simple computation.
The complex computation depends on whether there are transportation costs (generated and used locally or generated from a distance), investment costs, maintenance costs, and profits.
Solar (PV) units obviously only work well in direct sunlight which only occurs a portion of the 24-hour day. Wind turbines only work when there is wind (not too calm and not too windy). They also have costs to convert the provided energy into a useful form – typically grid-compatible power.
If the user application requires constant power, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for years, then the SKLep is likely the best candidate.
If the user application only requires power when the sun is directly overhead, then Solar PV may be the best. Likewise for wind turbines.
I suspect your main point was you think the SKLep is priced too high. It will likely be priced at the point where competitive technologies and other producers are at as in a classic economic analysis.
Will the price of SKLep technology drop? Possibly, either due to competitive pressures or yield improvements, or for other reasons. But for now, it is what it is.

As far as I know the ITER project in the south of France, could that the project you mean?
That project cost more than 20 billion $, with only seconds worked last year. the project uses much more energy than can be supplied.
The type 10 and 100 e-cat Sklep use virtually no energy but produce 10W and/or 100W per hour respectively.
Kind regards, Jitse
@W.Babelotzky
The cheapest electricity comes from PV and Wind turbines. PV can produce about 1-2 ct/kwh in the desert or 4-6 ct/kwh in Germany. But the problem is to deliver it to the consumers. In Germany just the transportation of electricity is about 10 ct plus tax 2 ct. And there are other taxes and charges above. The production now is because of expensive frackinggas about 10-20 ct. At the end the consumer has to pay about 40 ct/kwh.
An ecat which produce electricity under 1 ct/kwh is always the better solution.
Dear Andrea,
To be more precise, it is 1.32 ct USD and it is a photovoltaic system: https://www.ewec.ae/en/power-plant/al-dhafra-solar-pv
Is it conceivable that ECAT will become competitive on this at some point?
Best regards
Wilfried
Wilfried Babelotzky:
it has been calculated that in Sardinia (an Italian region very exposed to the sun) the 100% yield of a solar system is only 800 hours a year
Dear Andrea,
to my knowledge, the cheapest source of electricity in the world is a large-scale solar thermal plant that generates electricity for $0.01 per kWh.
Is it conceivable that the ECAT can become competitive to this by revising the design and manufacturing?

You and me in our first dance
Our eyes are closed
We’re lost in one sweet embrace
Since those days the world has changed
But our love remains the same
God knows we’ve had our share of saving grace.
After all these years
You make it feel brand new
After the fires that we walked through
Against the odds we never lost our faith
In our house we’ve made our home
Where our children all have grown
Precious moments time cannot erase
Make a living up and down the gypsy highways
Seasons that we’ve had to share
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed, believed in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there’s nothing left to
After all these years
You stood by me
The days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You’ve sacrificed, believed in me
And you stood strong

See

Perhaps someone could use a gridless SKLep variant for a “round the world UAV flight”? Likely a kW (or less) unit would suffice as the electrical power source.

If so, is it then possible to realise an approximately proportional volume decrease again?
Kind regards
Wilfried
Wilfried Babelotzky:
I think so,
Warm Regards,

Mr. Rossi
1. Is the Ecat SKLed safe against falling from 1m
2. Will Ecat SKLed still work at 9V?
3. Is the Ecat SKLed rain resistant?
4. Is the Ecat SKLed resistant to frequent switching on and off
Warm regards
Jan Srajer:
Thank you for your opinion,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Mr.Rossi
I think that there is no need to prove SSM mode today. At the beginning of production, it is necessary to prove:
1. Resistance of the device against bad serial-parallel connection
2. The device’s resistance to moisture
3. Resistance of the device against falling to the ground.
4. To draw attention to the general conditions of operation.
Warm Regards J.Š.
Dear Dr. Rossi
Has the physical size of the Ecat change and is the basic size still going to be 100w or will you be producing a larger system for purchase? As always thankyou
Manuel Cilia:
1- no
2- assembling the 100 W modules we will make also larger systems,
Warm Regards,

Dr Rossi,
How is behaving the Ecat SSM under R&D ?

Your suggestion to Andrea is the same I want to give him.

Dr Rossi,
Don’t listen to the calls to change load to the Ecat SSM that you will use to make the live streaming.
An Ecat that keeps turned on a light like the one we are seeing in the streaming on course is perfectly convincing.
The complete system must be weighted, so that we can compare the weight with the best possible battery in commerce with the same weight, to understand how many hours the battery could resist.
We must see clearly that the Ecat SSM is not connected with any cable, with a top and a front view, and seats upon a plexiglas table completely translucent, exactly as we can see in the streaming on course.
Just do this and do not lose time to find further complications.

@Jean Paul Renoir:
I agree with you and I have the impression that whatever Dr Rossi will do, there will be somebody that will say that’s better to do something else.
I agree that Andrea must not lose time and just put on line the same Ecat SKLep in SSM modality featuring what you suggested
Roberto
Dear Dr Andrea Rossi,
If we will see the same Ecat SKLep we can see not live-streamed here
http://www.ecat.com
but in SSM, without any connection to any power source, with a certified scale that will show us the weight of it all included, so we can be sure that a battery with the same weight could not resist more than several days, that would be a historic moment for the planet and mankind.
Thank you for all your efforts to reach this .
May this year bring us the “New Fire”

On ecat.com website it says “E-Cat products will be delivered only if Leonardo Corporation collects orders for at least 1,000,000 (one million) SKLep units (10 MiniSKLelps account for 1 SKLep unit)”
Does this mean if only (100W) SKLEPs are ordered, as example, then minimum target would be 1 million pre-orders?
And if only (10W) miniSKleps are ordered, as example, then minimum target would be 10 million pre-orders?
So actual minimum pre-order target will be somewhere between 1 million and 10 million, depending on the proportion between SKLEP orders and miniSKLep orders?
Have I calculated correct?
Warm regards and Happy New Year

Dear Dr Rossi
I look forward to seeing the 24/7 Live stream of the MiniSKLep SSM.
I hope this new demonstration will allow you to reach the Million pre-orders so you can start production and start delivering your SkLeps.
If I can, I would like to give you a suggestion for MiniSKLep SSM Streaming 24/7. Make sure that the LED lamp is powered at a voltage close to the nominal value and that it consumes just under 10W and therefore produces a very strong light.
In this way, being the MiniSkLep SSM a completely isolated system, after a very short time the whole world will be able to convince itself that the MiniSkLep SSM is the “energetic singularity” we’ve all been waiting for!!
1) May I hope that you follow my important advice?
Sure of your imminent “Global Success”, I wish you and your team an “Energetic” 2023.

Dear Dr Rossi,
When you first offered your E-Cat SK you announced that its power output was not smooth enough for electric motors and was better used to charge batteries which would “buffer” the output.
Has your new grid-free version overcome that problem?

Have you already put in operation a network of lamps activated by one Ecat ? If yes, whith which result ?
Josh:
Yes, with good results,

dr Rossi,
Do you think that the SSM Ecat could power also drones ?
Cheers

Dear Dr. Rossi
Can you share the status of the “important big buyer” possible pre-order you referred to in your post
https://www.journal-of-nuclear-physics.com/?p=892&cpage=743#comment-1617153
1) have you been able to close on a big pre-order from this customer?
2) if not, are you optimistic that you will be able to close on the pre-order?
3) any other info you can share about this order?
4) are you over 900K pre-orders yet?
Regards
LarryG
DrLG:
1- not yet
2- yes
3- no
4- no

Dear AR. With the planned streaming of the SSM module for several years, it seems likely that a bulb failure might occur.
I suggest showing two bulbs in parallel – they are unlikely to both fail at the same time. When one fails, the other will continue to shine while the failed bulb is replaced. No down time whatsoever!

Greg Leonard

The Ecat SSM that will be stramed will be connected also with any kind of power source ?
Julian Roberts:
No,

Dear Andreas
Earlier in a reply to Valerie Gauriat that the Lamp is radiating 300 Lux.
Although not directly an SKLEP data point this is interesting and welcome update for those who are curious about the light out put.
Since lux is lm per m^2 would you be able to indicate the distance from the lamp it was measured. If we assume a 120 degrees beam angle we could then estimate the the surface area illuminated and then the Lumens at 56cm it would be about 1m^2 I think. So 300 lm.
Anyway I think your “conservative estimate” of the W output is already a good indicator.
Thanks and Best Regards
Stephen

Dr Rossi,
When the Ecat SK SSM will be live streamed, will be put two cameras, to show all the 4 sides of the lamp, as it is in the streaming we can see now in the live streaming of the Ecat SKLep with the ground connection ? In the photo with the mini Christmas tree we can see only the front, but we cannot see the back and the sides fron a top view.
Best regards,

Do you have already created many E-catSKLep for testing? I mean without grounding.
