Dear Andrea Rossi,
Suggested rules for your EV – SKLep SSM demonstration:
1. No changes or minimum changes to an EV that is already produced in quantity. No changes in internal EV components. Interconnections only.
2. Either test the EV – SKLep SSM car against another unmodified car of the same type, same model, same options, or run one car on the same route or track exactly in the same manner both without SLKep SSM engages and with SKLep SSM engaged.
3. Provide instrumentation (or use instrumentation within the EV vehicle) that shows initial and final battery state.
4. Minimize test duration yet exhaust all internal battery on the non-SKLep SSM equipped EV vehicle, then demonstrate for at least a factor of 4 beyond what the unmodified EV was able to perform. Operate at a safe speed.
5. Externally measure car speed and distance outside of the vehicle’s organic measurement equipment – For Example, an externally mounted GPS data collection systems, continuously recording distance, direction, and speed.
Thoughts?

To All JONP Users,
There are a couple of charging strategies in use for Electric Vehicles (EVs), AC and DC charging.
The AC charging is typically used with home chargers or lower power rated commercial charges. The AC power flows to the EV where a On-Board Charger within the EV converts the AC power to a High Voltage DC power that charges the EV battery. Typical On-Board chargers are in the 12 to 25 kW range. The rate of charging is limited by the lowest power of either the external EV charging unit (e.g., the home charger output, or the commercial charger output) or is limited by the power rating of the On-Board Charger.
The DC charging uses high voltage DC, typically 500 VDC or 1,000 VDC. In the DC charging case, the On-Board Charger is bypassed and the applied voltage from the external DC charger is applied to the EV battery system. In this case, the amount of power being applied can be quite high, up to 250 kW of available power (or more) coming from the external DC power. There are obviously internal controls within the EV to manage the external DC charging to prevent damage to the EV battery system.
To estimate the required continuous power generation for a self-powered EV, two factors (as a minimum) are to be considered. The efficiency of the EV and the driving speed of the EV.
For example, for a Tesla Model 3, the specified power efficiency is 0.23 kW-Hrs per mile. Assume a speed of 100 mph. Multiply the power efficiency by the speed and we see we need a continuous power charging rate of 23 kW. Additional factors can include speed induced aerodynamic drag, wind, changes in elevation, environmental power consumption (air conditioning or heater usage).
Typical current EVs have nominal battery power ranges of 200 miles to 400 miles. To estimate the battery capacity, multiply the power efficiency by the nominal battery range. For example, if we assume a power efficiency of 0.23 kW-Hrs per mile and we assume a battery range of 300 miles, we can estimate the battery system a has a capacity of about 70 kW-Hrs of usable energy. The actual battery system will have a greater energy capacity because the EV designer limits the maximum charge level and the minimum discharge level of the battery system – for example, the battery system will operate between 20% and 80% of its full capacity.
To estimate the time it would take to deplete a fully charged battery system driving at a certain speed, divide the nominal battery power range by the speed. Assuming a 300 miles range and a speed of 100 mph, we compute a driving time of 3 hours.
To do a good demonstration of SKLep SSM technology, I would suggest demonstrating continuous driving for at least four times the nominal driving time based on the fully charged battery system. The higher the average speed, the shorter the necessary driving time.
Thoughts?

I agree,

Dear Andrea,
A company https://evwest.com seems to be specialized in retail-selling EV batteries, motors, and other components. After your EV demo is done, maybe they could act as a distribution channel for your EV-related Ecat product(s). For example, make a plug-in replacement of a Tesla battery which has Ecat inside and sell it through them, similarly as they now sell ordinary Tesla batteries. Just a thought.

Dear Andrea,
I understand from past Q & As that you are currently working on powering an EV with an Ecat system.
Have you considered using an Energica Electric motorcycle as the Vehicle. These motorcycles are more efficient than automobile type EVs.
Energica (Energica Motor Company – The italian electric motorcycle manufacturer ) may be amiable to cooperation in your project.
Futhermore, for proof of concept publicity, arranging a publisised event for example: a ride from Stokholm to Rome without recharging.
Hystorically, a ride by Charly Boorman & Ewan McGregor in their documentary “the long way round” was instrumental in making the BMW GS the most popular adventure motorcycle on the market.
If you give this idea some consideration, you may also approach Charly Boorman to participate/assist/promote this endeavour. He has already done a similar promotion for Harley Davidson when he rode the livewire electric motorcycle, in documentary The long way up, before its release to the public.
Such a public event (followed/scrutineered by the media) would completely dispel any doubt that the Ecat system performs as stated.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Electric Car World Record:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jSG_10_JRg
On 18 August 2019, a pre-series model of the electric Porsche Taycan covered the distance of 3425 km in 24 hours (Wikipedia).
Because the car required frequent pit stops for recharging, the average speed was about 90 mph or 143 kph.
Consider an EV equipped with SKLep SSM technology that could do the 149 mph or 240 kph neutral speed for lane 4 of the Nardo track. Possibly up to 200 mph with the possibility of tire changes during pit stops to rotate drivers. Ignoring lost time due to pit stops, such an EV could achieve a total distance of about 5,700 kilometers.
Steven Nicholes Karels:
Same, so far,

Dear Andrea Rossi,
At one time, the physical dimensions on the SKLep 100W unit was 2.8″ x 2.8″ x 3.6″. Are those dimensions still correct or have they gotten smaller?
Dear Andrea,
Please forgive me for interfering again, but I wanted to bring up something that could help us reach the one million pre-orders as quickly as possible. I suggest you get in touch with the company https://www.watergen.com/. They manufacture generators that produce drinking water from the air. If these devices can run maintenance-free and independently of external energy sources for 10 years with the E-CAT, it would be the ultimate killer application. If you can personally convince Watergen of the benefits of the E-CAT, I believe that this company alone could fulfill the remaining pre-orders. Even in parts of Europe, there is already a shortage of drinking water, and the global demand for drinking water is virtually endless.

Dear LarryG,
i doubt about your suggestions. To reach the one million pre-orders you need short examples of how people can save money.
This could be an 1 or 2 KW ecat ssm with an outlet of 230V/110V and an electric panel heater.
It is a simple illustration to use the ecat, no professional knowledge is needed, everyone can do it. AND everyone knows about the high costs of heating with oil, gas, electric power and the labourious of heating with wood stoves. And above all: This demonstration video would be short.

Dear ECAT readers
I have been musing about what might be the absolute best short term application for the SSM ECAT to bump us over the preorder target. Forget the longer-term jazzy applications like EVs or power to the grid…they will be years to really take off. IMO they will remain in proof of concept stage for quite some time.
My thinking is that this “golden” application would have the following characteristics to make the switch to ECAT a clear, quick choice.
1) Low but continuous power consumption so one or only a couple of ECATS are needed.
2) 24/7 operation.
3) Remotely located so difficult to wire power to.
4) Replace something that has more than $25USD material (batteries, voltage control circuitry or whatever) and lifetime power consumption cost..
5) Millions of units sold per year.
6) “Easy” to convert from current power source to an ECAT.
Security cameras seem to fit this list extremely well. Sales are over 50 million units per year per Forbes Home Security Cameras Market To Surpass $9.7 Billion By 2023 (forbes.com)
EG the ARLO cameras. A dedicated design team could switch from battery to ECAT in a matter of months. One ECAT would do the trick, any power available after the control circuits and WiFi could go to run the LEDs for illumination at night.
Dr. Rossi, your team could contact the major players in this market directly and pitch the ECAT to them.
Anyone have other suggestions for short term home runs?
Sincerely
LarryG

An analysis of the hybrid electric cars
Battery capacity of 9 – 14 kW-hrs with a range of 80 km.
Implies an energy efficiency of around 100 to 200 W-hrs / km.
With the small range implies city dwelling usage (80 km range)
Assumption: Average speed of 50 kph (around 30 mph).
For continuous operation one would need 5 to 10 kW of power generation.
For once a day operation (of 80 km or less), probably an SKLep SSM sized at between 300 and 700 Watts would be sufficient. But if once a day, just plug it in to the grid power. This might have an application where you charge at home, but your workplace is over 40 km from home and there is no charging available at the work site.
Dear Steven Nicholes Karels,
Thank you. Here are some quick replies:
1) Drive so long that there is no doubt.
2) Dump the regenerated power to a resistor. Choose a track without much bends so that braking is not needed very often. If overheating of the resistor becomes an issue in intense braking, then brake sparingly to avoid the problem. Alternatively, remove the regenerative brake system and rely on the frictional brakes, if the EV has them as a backup.
3) Accept that acceleration is not high. Accelerating from rest is needed only when changing the driver.
Of course, I was only talking about the test, aiming at maximum simplicity. In production EVs a buffer battery would probably be used.
Best regards, /pekka
Steven Nicholes Karels,
your suggestions of running EV tests at high speed are spot on.
Wikipedia re Tesla model S says energy consumption almost tripples from 70 mph to 100 mph. Quick search of the range for cars as calculated by EPA has max speeds of about 70mph, average speed much less, so 100mph test will give the EV about 3X less miles. So 390 miles range at an average speed much less than seventy will give an hour or so at 100 mph.
Not sure if the Wikipedia numbers are truly valid…found article Tesla Model 3 actual tested range is 280 miles at constant speed of 70mph.
But for sure range will drop a huge amount at speeds above 100MPH. Range could drop so low that the standard EV could run out of battery power in an hour.
But to get the SSM EV up to speeds of 100mph would require a lot of moduels too, so might not be able to get the SSM EV to run at 100mph.

LarryG

Dear Andrea,
Plug-in hybrid electric cars
An interim solution could be very interesting for many car owners.
Many have a plug-in hybrid with a 9-14 kWh battery.
These vehicles have a range of up to 80 km.
If there are enough E-Cat SKLep SSM, one could offer a retrofit for these cars. The range can be increased significantly, and often you can do without the operation of the petrol engine.
With warm regards

Ulrich Kranz:
Thank you for your suggestion,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Pekka Janhunen,
You made an excellent point and concept. The issues I see with your approach are the following:
1. If you replace the entire battery section of the EV, then how will you know when the equivalent battery driving range has been reached and then exceeded by the SKLep SSM equipment? I.e, how far do you need to drive to demonstrate? (That AR hasn’t replaced the EV battery with a “Super Battery” but not powered by SKLep SSM technology).
2. Most EV cars use regenerative braking. This energy must be stored some place, typically the EV battery. Will you loose regenerative braking?
3. The EV must initially accelerate to reach driving speed. The SKLep SSM components would need to be sized to support the initial power demand.
Dear Andrea,
The EV battery is normally possible to be replaced. One approach may be that you replace the battery completely by an E-cat assembly that implements the same electric interface towards the vehicle than the battery.
To make things simpler, you probably don’t need to add a buffer battery in the test. Because in the test you can drive at constant speed.
Not having any batteries in the test vehicle would promote simplicity and your guys’ safety, I would think.
Caveat: I don’t have any firsthand knowledge of EVs; these are just my thoughts, reached using logic, not experience.
Best regards, /pekka

Dear Dr Andrea Rossi,
1) I drive a hybrid car that I can easily charge via a ‘type 2’ inverter (220Volt AC) to 2.5 kWh approx. 300 Volt DC Charging time approx. 3 hours.
2) I currently drive about 11000 km per year, approx. 90 % ev use and 10% hybrid with Gasoline. to charge this car i use a regular inverter of about € 150.-
3) and as soon as i receive the EcatSKLep sms orders i can charge the car without technical adjustments
4) at the same time provide my house with approx. 20000 kWh per year (grid supply and or DC heating cooking etc).

Mr.Rossi
I’m glad to hear that adding E-catSKLep to an electric car is being thoroughly investigated. The main thing is that the E-catSKLep is completely autonomous and that its energy “only” maintains the constant voltage of the accumulators via some control element.
Warm Regards J.Š
Dear Andrea Rossi,
In terms of integration pf SKLep SSM technology with an EV — I would suggest using the organic components already present on the EV. For example, the EV would almost certainly have a DC-to-DC converter in the range of 125 to 250 kW to convert charging power to a form compatible with charging the EV’s battery system. The EV would need to use this device for normal EV charging. To paraphrase Elon Musk, the best change to the EV is no change at all.
If possible, use the regenerative braking energy components that are part of the EV. There is no need to take advantage of energy produced by regenerative braking as you will have more than enough energy from the SKLep SSM system. But the regenerative power handling components that already are a part of the EV will likely be very useful. This is a way of passing electrical energy into the battery system in an acceptable manner during active operation (Charging while the EV is operating). If running at a constant speed, the EV mechanical braking system will not be over stressed.
Overcharging the EV battery system can be problematic. Trying to build a smart controller to maintain battery charge level will be difficult as it is a function of many factors (usage, cell charge level, temperature, etc.) Since this is only a demonstration, why not control it manually, as you will have a driver present in the EV during the demonstration? A simple procedure could be implemented. Start charging when the EV battery level is below 20%. Stop charging when the EV battery level is at 80%.
Likewise, choosing a track and test regime must be considered. As you are attempting to show a high-level electrical output, you would want a high energy level test EV. A full-size EV should be used. Likewise, you want to make the test of a sufficiently short duration so viewer interest is not lost. This would suggest a very high-speed EV test scenario where the normal EV battery would be exhausted in a short period of time. Say an hour of EV-only operating time versus four hours of continuous EV + SKLep SSM operating time. A time period where stopping to change drivers is not a normal requirement.
And I would suggest that the EV be operated at a constant speed with minimal maneuvering to avoid any accidents or which would tend to wear-out the EV components, like the brakes or tires. You are only demonstrating the SKLep SSM technology benefit and not trying to win a race, as in Le Mans. High speed will catch the attention of the public.
Perhaps simultaneously run two same model EVs – one normal and the other equipped with SKLep SSM technology. The normal one would run out of energy while the equipped version would go on and on. Same track, same speed, same time, same weather conditions. Have the SKLep SSM equipped EV be the lead unit, with the normal EV trailing some distance behind it – no aerodynamic advantage for the SKLep SSM equipped EV.
Thoughts?
Steven Nicholes Karels:
Thank you for your insight,
Warm Regards,

Dear Dr. Rossi:
Has your EV Team calculated the percent reduction effectively possible in the size of the automobile battery pack when the E-Cat is linked for continuous charging?
There would be a twofold benefit.
1. The battery pack would be less expensive.
2. Depending upon the size of the E-Cat assembly, it might be possible to retro-fit existing gas/diesel pickup trucks by dropping out the engine and installing the battery pack and E-Cat assembly under the front hood in the former engine compartment.
Looking forward to having my E-Cat orders filled.

Caro Sig. Rossi
There are so many post about EV, I wonder where the real focus on the ecat is.
1) Is there the goal to bring one product by the other to the market (lets say ecat for housing, then ecat for cars)?
2) Since there is a live stream of the ecat ongoing, I assume that this product has to be first. Am I right?
3) The live streamed product is obviously working. For me, it seams from a technical point, you could it deliver now. Is the target of preorders the only obstacle?
Thank you.

A boat with a simple electric trolling motor with no advanced electronic interfaces would be a good platform. The higher drag of the water normally exhausts a deep cycle marine battery in less than a day..
An open frame boat cannot hide objects and would be a open platform for inspection.
The boat could be placed in a large pond and setup with a non metal cable attached to a central pylon to allow the boat to do endless circles in the pond…
The advantages of no human operators or complicated electronics interfacing would also be a plus.

Can you tell us what the challenges are when putting the Ecat into an electric car?
Thanks if you can answer.

Gerard McEk:
The challanges are relevant, because we have to interface the Ecat system with the proprietary system of the EV, that is designed to exclude any alternative. Obviously I cannot enter the particulars, but the connection between the intelligence of the car electronics with the ones of the Ecat is quite complex. Anyway, we are a great Team and overcoming the difficulties.

Dear Andrea,
When a scientific pod recently was discussing the growing freshwater disaster in South Europe (and the rest of the planet)
the question: How much water is needed to make 1 kWh of electricity? was directly brought to the top of my mind.
Some googling then led me to informative related articles:
https://spectrum.ieee.org/how-much-water-does-it-take-to-make-electricity
https://www.publicpower.org/periodical/article/how-much-water-our-electricity-uses
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/plugged-in/making-electricity-consumes-a-lot-of-water-whats-the-best-way-to-fix-that/
https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy04osti/33905.pdf
From the last report above, you can learn that even hydro-power is wasting a lot of fresh water in a way (evaporation) I did not think about before.
Actually, I did not earlier notice in the energy debate specifically the issue of freshwater consumption
but from the pod, it was clear that e.g. in France now the negative impact of nuclear plants on freshwater supply is a growing issue.
Perhaps it is now a good time to start to communicate also the importance of (lack of)freshwater consumption as a parameter of E-Cat sustainability?
Not yet calculating the “grey freshwater use” in the mining and factory processes, it seems that only Solar power(from panels), Sea hydropower, and E-Cat power look like real sustainable options for future electricity production.
Obviously, only two of them are directly converting “unlimited sustainable energy from nature”, and only one (hopefully) could also work mobile 24/7.

Thank you for the link to the interesting theoretical work of Giorgio Vassallo and Andras Kovacs. I am a layman and an electrician, however I have come to understand that the quark model does not adequately explain the behavior of the proton. Vassallo and Kovács’ proton model could change the view of quantum physics. I was most interested in the view of the proton zitterbewegung as the equivalent of an electron, including spin. Perhaps it opens the way to a better understanding of the matter-energy relationship.

L’idea del Go-Kart è ottima, anche io avevo pensato al monopattino, credevo in un progetto più semplice da eseguire.
Ultimamente però sto sentendo e leggendo commenti di scettici, credono ad un solenoide nascosto nel led in live streaming, ed altro…
In una piccola pista penserebbero ad un impianto nascosto che dia corrente ad induzione.
Ha ragione Rossi, meglio un’auto EV stock, conosciuta e in produzione, meglio una pista ufficiale per i test.
A proposito, Dott. Rossi ci può dire qualcosa riguardo all’evoluzione del progetto?
TRANSLATE
The Go-Kart idea is excellent, I too had thought of the scooter, I believed in a simpler project to implement.
But lately I hear and read comments from skeptics, they believe in a hidden solenoid in the LED live stream and more…
In a small rail they would think of a hidden system that supplies induction current.
Rossi is right, better a production EV, known and in production, better an official track for testing.
By the way, can Dr. Rossi tell us something about the evolution of the project?
@Steven Nicholes Karels
The approach you’re proposing is for sure appealing. I’m just considering my one easier to implement.
Modify a Gokart would be less difficult and expensive. Also the demo in a closed and controlled enviroment (the Gokart track) would give fewer arguments to those who think there is a fraud.
Then it’s easier to invite the right people at the track. They wouls speak each other, exchange opinions, drive the kart themself etc.
Only as a 2nd step I would implement your proposal, when the attention to the project would be high enough.
Just my humble opinion of course 🙂
Ciao.

Regarding usage of micro-inverters to get DC voltage from some number of SKLep and feed it into grid as an AC voltage.
Did anyone here knows if micro-inverter’s “built-in MPPT function” would work correctly with SKLeps on DC side? This function works by changing load impedance on DC side and observing how current and voltage are affected. Any idea if this will work correctly? Any plans to do some testing of such setup first?
Possibly it would be better idea to rather use some kind of VDC converter to raise voltage from 12V/24V/36V/48V (depending on number of SKLeps connected) to few hundred VDC:
Like this one for example:
https://www.cnsspele.com/dc-dc-converter/500w-24vdc-to-36-48-64-100-150-200-220-250-300-350-400-500vdc-converter-dc-power-supply
Produced higher voltage can be connected to one of inputs of typical home inverter (mine accepts 200-850 VDC voltage range).
One more idea is to avoid any additional DC/DC or DC/AC conversions and charge PV Battery System directly with low DC voltage from SKLeps.
In such case, it would be perfect to have Battery System which can have more then one charging input (ex. one input from PV panels and other from SKLeps). Unfortunately I didn’t found anything like this yet.
Pj,
Go-karts may have a 30 km range. I don’t have personal knowledge of this. But I let’s assume this is true, Speed on a Go-Kart track is likely an average of 30 kph. So, the useful time on the track would be one hour. To show SKLep SSM efficacy, you would need to run the unit for 3 – 4 hours. Would a video of that sort be likely to attract interest?
Compare it to a stock race car doing 150 mph or 260 kph for four hours and covering 600 miles or 1,000 km. I suggest that might have more appeal.
@Jan Šrajer @Steven Nicholes Karels
some weeks ago, I proposed to modify an electric race GoKart, replacing the battery with SKLep SSM units and drive it for a full day in a GOKart track.
An electric GoKart has normally a range of 30/40 km with a full charge (let’s say 1/2 hour range).
A modified GoKart could have an teoric unlimited range.
Pros:
1) Many Kart traks are available around the world. They are quite short and closed circuits. You can put web cameras easily to see live the kart performance.
Furthermore you could repete the “demo” in many places/countries.
2) The demo duration of few hours would be enough to demostrate such an unlimited range.
2) You can invite influencer, VIP, politics to drive the GoKart for a perfect marketing campaign.
Thoughts?
Piergiorgio
@Marco,
The circumference of the Earth is about 40,000 km.
If they can do the 2,400 km per day then they could do the equivalent of driving around the world in about 17 days.
Now that would be some record for the record books… the first car to drive around the equivalent distance of around the world with out refueling.
It’s a long drive though, so to give relief to the drivers, maybe invite Elon and or other big name manufacturers owners, bosses or technical officials to take turns behind the wheel. Hard to ignore that it’s real if you are sitting there driving the thing.
Just a fun idea that’s not completely unachievable I think. If drivers take turns.
Looking forward to this event, however it goes though.
Best Regards
Stephen
Dear Andrea, I suppose you have figured out how you will get out more power from a smaller area when it’s needed, like in the case with the Ev. So you don’t have to use a lot of small 10 Watt e-cats I supposed the container material for a 10 W e-cat would take up a to much space, when you know that you will use for example 20kW anyway.
To Steven Nicholes Karels
I think like this: The average energy consumption of an electric car is 20kW/h at a speed of 130km/h.
So a 20kW auxiliary power source E-catSKLep would be able to charge the accumulator batteries while driving.
Warm Regards
Ecat 30g=10watt
Volume 30*30*3.14*30=84780mm3
Cost 25$
84780mm3=84.78cm3=0.08478dm3(liter)
Electric car at 100kmh needs = 30kw?
30kw=30.000watt
30000watt = 3000ecat
3000ecat=90000grams
90000gram=90kg
3000ecat*0.08478liter=254,34liter
3000ecat*25$=75000$
You can drive 24h a day 2400km a day.
I overestimate all.
Andrea you’ve broken the world.
Jan Šrajer,
Your proposed design generates 20 kW of electrical power. Ignoring inefficiencies, this limits the speed of the car. If we assume a reasonable energy efficiency of 300 W-hrs per mile then the average speed will be limited to about 65 mph. A 3-day event (72 hours) would have the electric vehicle travel about 4,680 miles. Since most electric vehicles have a maximum range of 400 miles of less, you would demonstrate an effective range of 10 times the battery capacity. I would suggest that a single 24-hour day would be of sufficient duration to show the intended benefit.
Mr. Steven Nicholes Karels
I will be happy to add to your ideas. I would organize an endurance race for 3 days. The drivers would alternate after 3 hours and the electric car would be equipped with independent recharging using E-catSKLep 200 x 100W, configured to a voltage of 480V and a current of 40A. A control module would have to be manufactured for this.
Warm Regards
HOW LONG DO 24 HOURS OF LE MANS DRIVERS DRIVE FOR?
Driver changes are crucial to succeeding at 24 Hours of Le Mans – teams must rotate through three drivers during the race.
During the 24 hours, no driver can be in the car for more than 14 hours, and drivers tend to drive for between 45 minutes and four hours. Changeovers occur as teams plan pit slots for fuel or tyres.
Since it is unlikely the demonstration will be competing at Le Mans, and fuel replenishment is not an issue, then tire lifetime will be critical as well as driver safety. The ring track in Italy makes the most sense to me as the constant speed of 250 kph (about 150 mph) can demonstrate a driving range much greater than the EV’s internal battery relatively quickly. And a constant speed with zero sensed lateral acceleration should minimize tire wear and driver fatigue.
For example, a Tesla Plaid has a battery range of 390 miles (likely less at high speeds), so the internal battery capacity would be exhausted in about 2 – 3 hours. Driving for 8 hours with one pit stop for a driver change and tire inspection would demonstrate the SKLep SSM capability nicely in a relatively short period of time. In 8 hours (less pitstop times), we would see about a range of 1,200 miles.
Alternatively, measure the initial EV battery charge state, run the test for 4 hours (about 600 miles), and measure the EV battery state at the end of the test.
A much more exciting test than watching an LED for a month.
Thoughts?

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Let’s assume I purchase a 1kw ecat and its only load is 500 watts. Let’s also assume the 500 watt load alternates between on and off every hour for the life of the ecat. Will the 1kw ecat be expected to last twice as long as a 500 watt ecat that also has a 500 watt load alternating on and off each hour?
In other words are partial loads spread evenly over time so no individual cells are depleted more quickly?
Regards,
Bob
Bob Fastnacht:
The lifetime depends only upon the time during which the Ecat is operating, independently from the load consume.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea,
You have mentioned previously that the surface of the E-Cat SKLep SSM has been measured at points as being several degrees above room temperature. Is there sufficient heat release over external surface areas to show up on a thermal image camera?
Regards,

KeithT:
It depends on the thermocamera; the emitted heat is irrelevant related to the energy balance.

A Gavino Mamia. ancora una volta sono d’accordo con te. Non dobbiamo assolutamente fare un mero calcolo di interesse economico nella scelta di supportare questa tecnologia. È quasi certo, infatti, che i primi destinatari dei moduli del Dott. Rossi sosterranno un costo maggiore rispetto a quelli che seguiranno. Spero solo che i vari governi non considerino gli acquisti che faremo alla stregua di qualsiasi altro bene dal punto di vista fiscale. Cordiali saluti
To Gavino Mamia. once again I agree with you. We absolutely must not make a mere calculation of economic interest in choosing to support this technology. Indeed, it is almost certain that the first recipients of Dr. Rossi’s modules will bear a higher cost than those who will follow. I only hope that the various governments do not consider the purchases we will make in the same way as any other asset from a tax point of view.
Warm regards.
@Bob Fastnacht
Why not sell back the overcapacity to the grid?
Perhaps this simulator can be of some help?

Dear readers, I abolished the idea of saving through the Ecat some time ago, the Government will take care of applying various taxes and duties.
The Ecat dream for me is the possibility of having cars that recharge themselves, therefore more comfortable, appliances that use non-polluting energy.
The energy generated by the Ecat will still cost us a lot of money, perhaps even more than in the past, the only one to benefit from it will be the planet.
Indeed, in reality the human being, since the planet has existed for billions of years and will still exist for other billions, however, man will not survive pollution and climate change.
The earth in a few thousand years will erase all memory of human presence.
So the Ecat will save the human being from extinction, the costs will be a dutiful pledge
Dear Andrea Rossi,
My comments on the SKLep SSM are not meant to discourage use but to place them in economic perspective. The advantages of the SKLep SSM technology are (allegedly) maximized in constant output power over longer periods of time (e.g., 11 years). Their current cost of $2.50 USD per output Watt means that the optimum use is for baseload (continuous, long-duration) electrical production (or continuous heat provided by resistance applied to the electrical energy).
Short term or variable use increases the cost accordingly. At their current cost, they are competitive with solar panel energy production. They appear to be very competitive with other current energy production sources (gas, nuclear, coal).
If and when their price per Watt is reduced, they will be more competitive with peak load applications.
Thoughts?
Steven Nicholes Karels:
Thank you for your insight,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea Rossi,
Forgive me if this question has already been asked. If I select an ecat for my home that will provide most of my electric needs, there will be times when I won’t need the full capacity. Will your ecat alternate between which individual “cells” will be used to meet demand? If so, this would make me more likely to purchase a unit that would handle the demand even on peak days. Of course I am assuming this would make the unit last longer.
Regards,
Bob
Bob Fastnacht:
The control system should turn on the modules depending on the demand of the load; the lifespan depends on the operational time.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea,
Have you planned how the E-Cat will charge the EV? Will it be enough to continue driving without charging?
Lars Olov:
Please formulate your question more precisely,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Wilfried,
The issue with your analysis is “an average of 200 km per day”. An average means that some days the drive will be longer and some days shorter. For the longer distance days, then you will need to recharge. On the shorter distance days, you do not benefit because the EV battery can only store a certain amount of energy.
If the EV battery can support say 400 km range on a full charge and the car is driven at 100 km per hour, you will have only 4+ hours of charging time from the onboard SKLep SSM device. So, additional charging stops will be needed on long distance trips.
So, if the scenario is for only 200 km per day, then an EV with an internal battery that supports 200 km range and a home charging unit would suffice. Home charging units cost less than $5,000 USD.
Mr.Rossi
I know you’re careful about business. But could your advertising activity be more aggressive?
Warm regards
Jan Srajer:
Thank you for your meaning,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
@ Steven Nicholes Karels
Let’s assume you drive an average of 200 km per day, then your EV needs 50 kWh or less for this.
You can charge these 50 kWh in 24h per day, because the E-Cat should be integrated into the EV in such a way that it constantly charges the battery. This means you need 50 kWh /24 h = 2.08 kW, rounded 2 kW.
For 2 kW you need 20 E-Cat SKL SSM at 100 W.
The cost for this is 20 * 250 USD = 5000 USD.
This is extremely cheap for never having to charge again or, in the very worst case, having to take a short break to drive to the next fast charging station.
Best Regards
Wilfried
Mr.Rossi
I would also like to explain how I meant it with ZPE – zero point energy and the speed of light: obtaining energy from ZPE is possible even without a vacuum, thanks to a phenomenon called zitterbewegung. Under certain conditions, it is possible to vibrate electrons (zitterbewegung) by means of electric and magnetic forces, which interact at the moment of acceleration, which for a moment exceeds the speed of light. However, we do not observe this. We only see plasma. Energy arises from this phenomenon, while the law of conservation of energy is not violated. Speeds greater than the speed of light cannot be observed.
Warm Regards J.Š
Dear Andrea Rossi,
I think using an ensemble of SKLep SSM 100W units for a demonstration is a great idea.
I believe it makes no sense as an add-on to electric vehicles. Typical energy consumption of an EV is around 300 W / mi. At 70 mph, you will need about 20 kW of electrical power generation. At $2.50 per W cost of the SKLep, this would add about $50,000 to the price of an EV. It is much cheaper to charge an EV at a charging station. The exception might be long-distance trucking (Semis).
Steven Nicholes Karels:
Thank you for your opinion,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea,
I was reading below that you are working on EV to be powered by eCat. And expectation that it will bring more orders to get you to the 1 million. I would suggest that if you are ready to bring your product to the market, there are easier ways. All you need is a blitz marketing effort. You could hire a decent marketing firm that will arrange media releases, presentations, writeups in various publications, etc. This will get you your 1 million preorders in no time. The earlier eCat comes to the market, the world will be better off for it.
Kind regards,
Gennady

Dear Dr. Rossi,
another year? EVs? The market is much bigger what belongs to heating.
You have just to assemble 20 or even only 10 ecat ssm 100Watt. Then plug in a simple electric heater for costs of under 100€.
This demonstration is simple and just a short video will do it.
No more expensive heat pumps are necessary! No more expensive installation of heating pipes! No more expensive maintenance, services and repairs are nessecssary.
Not even more jacks are required. Every old, non isolated, cheap house will be ecofriendly.
Please realise it soon. Please before the next winter.

To demonstrate the principle of operation of film evaporation drums involved in a desalination plant, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the video on YouTube at the link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xdBJkzjHTw&t=262s
E-cat EV can be used to power the drum rotation drives anthe control system of the desalination plant. This is very important because it is desirable to rotate the drums constantly to prevent scale deposits on the walls, even when there is no wind and sunlight.

@Gavino Mamia and Jan Srajer,
Concordo appieno con Gavino Mamia ma non voglio fomentare inutili dispute. Chi segue questo blog da oltre 10 anni come il sottoscritto non sarebbe decisamente disposto ad attendere altri 2 anni che favorirebbero inutili investimenti da parte di privati cittadini desiderosi di agire nell’interesse di questo vituperato pianeta nella direzione del settore fotovoltaico, eolico o quant’altro. Non voglio minimamente considerare tra l’altro le centinaia di miliardi di dollari destinati alla fusione nucleare che considero uno sperpero colossale. L’immissione sul mercato di questa tecnologia avrebbe risparmiato in Italia la follia della Legge che ha indotto migliaia di cittadini a rivestire le proprie abitazioni con un rivestimento di polistirolo espanso nrl nome della rivoluzione ” verde ” ( proviamo ad immaginare come sia possibile un eventuale riciclo di questo rivestimento intimamente congiunto con intonaco o colle di ancoraggio alla muratura ) Gavino Mamia ha ragione!!! Sono mesi che continuo a ribadire che i tempi devono essere allelerati e non attendere chissà cos’altro.
I fully agree with Gavino Mamia but I don’t want to stir up useless disputes. Anyone who has been following this blog for over 10 years like myself would definitely not be willing to wait another 2 years which would favor useless investments by private citizens eager to act in the interest of this reviled planet in the direction of the photovoltaic, wind or whatever sector . Among other things, I don’t want to consider the hundreds of billions of dollars earmarked for nuclear fusion, which I consider a colossal waste. Placing this technology on the market would have saved Italy from the madness of the law which induced thousands of citizens to cover their homes with expanded polystyrene cladding in the name of the “green” revolution (let’s try to imagine how it is possible to recycle of this covering intimately joined with plaster or glue to anchor it to the masonry ) Gavino Mamia is right!!! I have been repeating for months that the times must be allelered and not wait for who knows what else.
To Gavino Mamia
I thought that January 6, 2025 would be a better constellation of stars than now, and that by then the Leonardo company would have a lot of experience with the use of E-catSKLep in the most demanding field – electric cars.

I think the interesting issue with E-catSKLep will be the parallel ordering of articles.

Caro Andrea,
Intanto l’e-cat sta in streaming da più di 50 giorni, e mi sembra un fatto concreto.
Per quanto riguarda il tuo progetto di automobile elettrica alimentata dal tuo dispositivo, se dovessi riuscire nell’impresa, la risonanza e la pubblicità sarebbero grandi, non sarebbe una cosa solo per pochi appassionati come noi che ti seguiamo da 11 anni.
Ma mi chiedo, possibile che se siamo informati noi comuni mortali, ed il video su you tube lo possono vedere tutti, non siano a conoscenza dell’E-cat anche i vari governi dei paesi avanzati, le grandi aziende che si occupano di elettricità, di produzione di energia in generale, per non parlare delle grandi aziende cinesi che producono batterie ed automobili in numeri emormi, o la Tesla, od ancora le strutture militari che avrebbero grande interesse ad un tale assett?
Non ti chiedo di svelare segreti, ma ti sembra una domanda ingenua?
English translation:
Meanwhile, the ecat has been streaming for more than 50 days, and it seems to me a concrete fact.
As far as your electric car project powered by your device is concerned, if you were to succeed in the enterprise, the resonance and publicity would be great, it would not be something only for a few enthusiasts like us who have been following you for 11 years.
But I wonder, is it possible that if we mere mortals are informed, and everyone can see the video on you tube, the various governments of advanced countries, the large companies that deal with electricity, are not aware of the E-cat? of energy production in general, not to mention the large Chinese companies that produce batteries and cars in enormous numbers, or Tesla, or even the military structures that would have great interest in such an assett?
I’m not asking you to reveal secrets, but does it seem like a naive question?

Caro Andrea Rossi,
è da ormai un decennio che seguo gli sviluppi dell’eCat, le varie modifiche, i test i diversi prodotti ecc.
Purtroppo l’eCat oggi non è ancora sul mercato.
Attualmente Paesi e interi continenti stanno spendendo migliaia e migliaia di miliardi per cercare di ottenere energia da sole e vento. Questi soldi alla fine mancano purtroppo in altri settori.
Se l’eCat fosse disponibile, tutti questi investimenti diventerebbero di colpo obsoleti, si sarebbero buttati soldi dalla finestra.
Rossi, dimentichi il milione di ordini, un anno fa era a circa 880k, quindi non lontano dall’obiettivo. Se lei OGGI mettesse a disposizione l’eCat a una dozzina di istituti di ricerca o aziende del settore configurandolo in modo da proteggerlo da spionaggio industriale e manomissioni, ecco che SE FUNZIONA DAVVERO, in millisecondi si ritroverebbe con miliardi di ordini.
Rossi, lei può fermare lo sperpero di denaro attuale nel mondo, metta da parte le considerazioni economiche e regali finalmente all’umanità un futuro migliore.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
I have been following the developments of eCat, the various modifications, the tests, the different products, etc. for a decade now.
Unfortunately, the eCat today is not yet on the market.
Currently countries and entire continents are spending thousands and thousands of billions trying to get energy from sun and wind. This money is unfortunately eventually lacking in other areas.
If the eCat were available, all these investments would suddenly become obsolete, money would be thrown out the window.
Rossi, forget the million orders, a year ago it was at about 880k, so not far off target. If you were to make the eCat available TODAY to a dozen research institutes or companies in the field by configuring it to protect it from industrial espionage and tampering, that’s IF IT REALLY WORKS, you would end up with billions of orders in milliseconds.
Rossi, you can stop the current squandering of money in the world, put aside economic considerations and finally give humanity a better future.
Saluti!

Avrà notato un netto calo di messaggi, non si preoccupi, non è calato l’interesse per l’Ecat.
La sua dichiarazione che a breve (entro un pio di mesi) farà un test di durata con un EV ci ha lasciato tutti senza parole, è quello che attendiamo da anni.
Ogni richiesta o consigli come in passato sarebbe superflua, siamo tutti concentrati e in attesa di questo test in streaming.
La mia ansia cresce ogni giorno di più.
Buon lavoro a Lei ed al suo team.

He will have noticed a sharp drop in messages, don’t worry, interest in Ecat hasn’t dropped.
His declaration that he will soon (within a few months) do an endurance test with an EV left us all speechless, it’s what we’ve been waiting for for years.
Any request or advice as in the past would be superfluous, we are all focused and waiting for this streaming test.
My anxiety grows more every day.

Dear Andrea. It is gratifying to know that you are devoting your efforts to solve the continuous on-board charging of an EV whether stationary or in motion.
For the sake of the following questions I will dismiss any notion that you might be involved in some way with any car manufacturer.
1. Does your team actually work with an EV car that is at hand for your research?
2. If the answer is ‘Yes’ to 1. what is the make and model of this vehicle?
3. If the answer to 1. is also ‘Yes’ is this car 100% electrically operated?
Should you be able to solve this problem it will be of enormous benefit to the whole world and I send you all my best wishes for your efforts.
Let us hope that you and your team will be successful.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Ragoni Analysis of the SKLep SSM demonstration:
Continuous operation for 46 days equals 1,104 hours of operation.
Estimates of the LED optical output vary between 1 and 2 Watts. Electric to optical efficiency estimates vary between 50% and 100%. Therefore, SKLep SSM is outputting between 1 and 4 Watts of electrical power.
Specified mass of the SKLep SSM is 40 grams or 0.04 kilograms
Estimate for Specific Power is between 25 and 100 W/kg.
Estimate for Specific Energy is between 27.6 to 110.4 kW-hrs/kg.
Plotting this on a Ragone Chart shows the energy source is greater than that of a chemical source.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Yet another possible application for SKLwp SSM technology
Windward Performance Perlan 2 is a high performance sailplane (glider) with a service ceiling of 90.000 feet. While it is designed for a 2-person crew, I suggest that an ensemble of these sailplanes could be unmanned and each could carry internet communications equipment. This would be similar to the Starlink satellites but at a much lower altitude.
Typical engine power for an electric powered sailplane is 75 kW or less. The maximum power is only needed during take-off and landings. Then, while cruising at minimum power, the internet communications would be powered.
Such an unmanned aircraft could take-off and cruise at above 50,000 feet altitude (above commercial airline flights) and provide continuous internet coverage with very low data latency. After 100,000 hours or so, they could be commanded to return to base where periodic maintenance, such as replacement of the SKLep SSM units, could be performed.
Such a system of high-flying aircraft would be much less expensive to build and operate, easier to retrieve and repair, and have a very long operational lifetime.
This approach would likely be much more cost-effective than a satellite-based communications internet system.
Thoughts?

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Regarding SKLep SSM in an electric vehicle (EV)…
If you are able to integrate your device into an EV and charge the battery while the EV is in motion, there is no need to include circuity or software to prevent over-charging the EV’s battery. Have the driver, occasionally turn ON or OFF the SKLep SSM unit when the EV battery state indicates it needs a charge or is sufficiently charged. Having a driver onboard can significantly reduce the integration issues.

Dear Dr Rossi,
The Ecat SKLep SSM has reached 43 days of streaming 24 hours per day on Youtube and Twitch, without any external power source. At this point it is obvious that there is not any energy source, because after more than 1000 hours of continuous work, there is no battery with a weight of 40 grams that could fuel that lamp for 1000 hours and counting.
Good job,

When charging a 28v lifepo4 battery (3 x 100w SKLep SSM in series), is the output voltage stable during the charge or is it convenient to add an output converter in order to stabilize it ?
Thank you : Mario
Mario:
If you have to charge a series of batteries there is the problem of the different charges residual in each battery, therefore better to connect a stabilizar in the circuit,

Dear Dr. Rossi, I’ve read about problems and difficulties in inserting an Ecat SSM on an electric car.
I would like to re-propose a much simpler and equally effective solution for demonstration purposes.
You could use a drone similar to this (but there are many other types with different characteristics and functionalities):
https://www.amazon.it/DJI-camera-pieghevole-intelligenti-trasmissione/dp/B0BQ2T2TH9
which with its own battery has a flight autonomy of about half an hour (31 minutes).
It has a very interesting feature: intelligent positioning.
This would allow it to be used in flight inside a room at a fixed height and position.
By applying the Ecat instead of the battery, the drone would fly for the first half hour and then again for hours, and hours, and hours etc. without stopping.

Italo R.

Ultimamente c’è la ricorsa nel costruire automobili sempre più grandi, sempre più veloci.
Città sempre più intasate di auto costantemente alla ricerca del parcheggio necessariamente adeguato come dimensione .
Mi piacerebbe che invece tu spingessi la leva al contrario, cioè che si andasse verso auto più piccole e lente.
La gente si accontenterebbe di andare più piano e più scomoda se la macchina fosse elettrica e con autonomia quasi illimitata.
Senza contare che un EV ha costi molto alti e una piccola EV sarebbe abbordabile per tutti.
Quindi un test con una piccola Ami Citroen, Twizzy Renault o simili sarebbe secondo me più adatto.
Il mercato continua a proporre automobili come questa: https://www.repubblica.it/motori/sezioni/prodotto/2023/04/24/news/luvly_la_microcar_elettrica_che_si_monta_con_il_metodo_ikea-397481449/?ref=RHRM-BG-P7-S1-T1
Buona giornata e buon lavoro

Lately there has been a rush to build bigger and faster cars.
Cities increasingly clogged with cars constantly looking for a necessarily adequate parking space.
Instead, I would like you to push the lever in the opposite direction, i.e. towards the smaller and slower cars.
People would be content to go slower and more uncomfortable if the car were electric and with an almost unlimited range.
Not to mention that an EV has very high costs and a small EV would be within everyone’s reach.
So a test with a small Ami Citroen, Twizzy Renault or similar would be more suitable in my opinion.
The market continues to offer cars like this:

In the technical description of E-catSKLep it is written that it is allowed to reach 240V when connected in series. Is it possible to increase this voltage to 350V for an electric car?
All the Best J.Š
To All JONP users
The original question was interfacing SKLep SSM technology to an EV. If we expand the scope of the vehicle to an engine – to – battery car, I suggest the Chevy Volt. The vehicle is capable of delivering 100kW from the battery, and the generator is capable of delivering 40kW for extended periods without issue when the vehicle is being driven. I recall the Volt Battery voltage is 350 VDC. So, with a 40 kW SKLep SSM unit, you could drive at some speed (at least 70mph) indefinitely, as when I drove 1,300 miles using gasoline to propel the Volt from Florida to New Hampshire.

Dear Dr. Rossi,
if it has to be a car then maybe a pre-owned vehicle like the BMW i3 with range-extender.
Instead of the combustion engine use the ecat ssm.

Dear Dr Rossi
A good EV to use is a BMW i3 with extender engine as a demo car. It is available on the market and can be purchase fairy cheaply and all you need to do is remove the small internal combustion engine and replace it with an Ecat power pack. You would need about 15to 20kw of Ecat to give it continuous use. They are are number of people who can can the programing to suit your needs in Europe.

Caro Andrea, ho letto la proposta di chiedere a chi ha gia’ ordini aperti di aumentare la quantita’ gia’ ordinata pur di raggiungere la soglia del milione. Io sarei piu’ che felice di farlo se sapessi quanti pezzi ti mancano. Ogni mese spendo 4000 euro solo in energia elettrica piu’ 2000 per il gas di riscaldamento, questi sono soldi a mio avviso buttati via ogni mese che passa. E che potrei destinare all’acquisto di e-cat.

Dear readers.
Regarding the discussions about charging the batteries of an electric car while driving, here is a hint.
There is a car that charges a battery by means of a methanol fuel cell both while stationary and while driving.
So from this car, the fuel cell would have to be removed and replaced with E-CATs. All other (electronic) components should be usable with minor
adjustments.
The link to the car in general: https://www.rolandgumpert.com/en/
The link to the electrical system: https://www.rolandgumpert.com/en/nathalie/methanol-fuel-cell/

Jan Šrajer,
The use of regenerative braking is not a safety issue. For instance, when the EV battery is 100% charged, there can be no regenerative braking because there is no place for the go to. There will always be the mechanical braking system – the rotors and calipers, etc.
In my suggested demonstration at the Circular track, the EV would maintain a constant speed. Therefore, braking was only required when terminating the test.
Directly charging the EV battery requires a sophisticated design and consideration. Variables such as temperature, charge state, rate of charge must all be considered in implementing a direct charging system.
My suggestion was to use the regenerative path because the EV already conditions the highly variable regeneration energy and safely applies it to the EV battery system. The assumption here is that the regeneration system electronics can handle a continuous energy source.
There were several postings here how a battery in an EV could be charged by ECats while driving. I think a similar construction already exists with the hydrogen car. Here will be a battery charged with electricity from a fuel cell while driving.
All you really have to do is to replace the fuel cell with ECats.

Ho fatto un esperimento con i miei monopattini, li ho messi su una sedia (quindi a ruota libera) e li ho fatti andare a velocità moderata, dopo ho collegato il loro caricatore.
In uno la luce del caricatore è diventata rossa e il livello di carica ha iniziato lentamente ad aumentare.
In un latro invece la luce del caricatore è rimasta verde e il livello di carica è solamente calato.
Deduco quindi che la differenza sia semplicemente nell’elettronica di controllo.
Ti consiglio dunque, se vuoi usare un EV, di provare questo esperimento se vuoi scegliere una auto elettrica che venga ricaricata da pacchetto di Ecat.
Esistono anche degli EV che vengono ricaricati in movimento da dei pannelli fotovoltaici.
Spero di essere stato utile.
TRANSLATE
I experimented with my electric scooters, put them in a chair (so freewheeled) and let them go at moderate speed, then plugged in the charger.
In one the charger light turned red and the charge level slowly started to increase.
On the other hand, the charger light remained green and the charge level only decreased.
I therefore deduce that the difference is simply in the control electronics.
So I recommend, if you want to use an electric vehicle, to try this experiment if you want to choose an electric car that is recharged by an Ecat pack.
There are also electric vehicles that are recharged on the go by photovoltaic panels.
