Dear Andrea Rossi,
As I understand your SKLep technology, your units are excellent at providing constant level DC electrical power but they may have difficulties with reactive and/or rapidly changing electrical loads.
Have you considered coupling your technology with LiPo batteries? In this concept, the SKLep unit would provide the average power needed while the battery would handle electrical loads that might otherwise prove to be difficult.
The ideal voltage level of a LiPo battery cell is 3.8 Volts – this is the storage voltage. The active range is between 3.2 Volts and 4.2 Volts. A voltage condition below 3.2 Volts leads to battery cell damage. Above 4.2 Volts can result in fires, etc.
LiPo batteries are described in terms of the number of series and the number of parallel connections. For example, a 6s2p would be 6 LiPo cells in series with the two groups in parallel. Modern LiPo batteries have an output cable and a balance plug. The balance plug is used by battery chargers to balance the charge in each set of series battery cells so that all batteries are of the same voltage. Usually, the series number ranges between 1 and 6.
If you modified the SKLep units to output a number of isolated voltages of around 3.8 Volts, you could provide the average power to the battery so that each cell was operating at its storage voltage. The battery could accommodate the changes in the electrical load.
By keeping the cells at the nominal storage voltage, the life of the LiPo battery would be extended. Thus, you would have a means of handling those difficult loads that currently are eluding you.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Have you been able to:
1. Make a limited quantity production run for the NGU units?
2. Have you tested the NGU units to verify that they will not suffer the same problem(s) as the SKLep SSM units?
Steven Nicholes Karels,
Thank you for your suggestion,

@Steven N. Karels
The term baseload is outdated in the field of energy. Storage and load management is increasingly replacing the historical need for baseload sources.
Electricity storage is becoming cheaper and cheaper and new controllable loads such as Bitcoin mining are being added. Wind and solar are ample primary sources.
Nothing against the E-Cat, as a replacement for storage and as a sustainable source with a low ecological rucksack and the potential to be extremely cheap, it has great significance for the energy of the future.

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?
Steven N. Karels,
I think we are going to make an useful job,

Dear Andrea Rossi,
I just saw a YouTube video on the Small Nuclear Reactors and how their development may be in trouble. About 20% of the US electrical energy comes from Nuclear and almost all the plants are 50 years old or older. Coal powered electrical production plants face environmental restrictions and will likely be phased out. Solar and wind are too intermittent to be used for Base Load electrical power production.
It sounds like the NGU units, coupled with DC to AC inverters are desperately needed.
Thoughts?
Can you see some competitor that could threat the Ecat technology so far ?

Dr Rossi,
I understand that the Ecat SKLep and The Ecat NGU are the same thing, therefore when you will have defined the NGU the data sheets will be consequently modified and the new version will be named Ecat SKLep NGU: am I correct ?
JPR
Jean Paul Renoir:
Correct,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dera Andrea is this correct:
The Casimir effect is an attractive force between two metal plates that are very close together in the vacuum. This is because the virtual photons that make up the zero point energy in the vacuum have different wavelengths and frequencies. When the plates are close to each other, only those photons that have wavelengths smaller than the distance between the plates can exist between them. This means that there are fewer photons and less zero point energy between the plates than outside them. This creates a pressure difference that pulls the plates towards each other.
One possible method of using the Casimir effect to create energy is to vary the distance between the plates in a controlled way. If the plates are connected to an electrical circuit, they can act as a capacitor that stores electrical energy. As the plates approach each other, the Casimir force increases and makes a work of the tiles. This work increases the electrical energy in the circuit.
Lars Lindberg:

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Regarding the SKLep NGU unit, I believe that you are using terms that are inexact. In Law, Words Matter!
You posted:
“If you already have an existing solar system generating electricity, then the E-Cat NGU can be easily connected to your existing equipment, such as inverters and batteries, and you can quickly start using the power of E-Cat technology to multiply the electricity generated by your solar panels.”
“Yes, the E-Cat SKLep NGU operates in self-sustain mode, and will continue to generate electricity when the solar panels are not receiving sunlight.”
The term multiply suggests a multiplicative relationship, such as Y = A * B.
If Y is the output of a Solar Panel system coupled with an SKLep NGU, then multiply requires Y = Psolar * Pngu.
where Psolar is the power output of the solar panel system and Pngu is the power output of the NGU.
However, you posting says that when Psolar goes to zero (such as at night, then the Y = Pngu.
It appears that Y = Psolar + Pngu.
So, a better word to replace multiply might be supplements or adds to.
Thoughts?

Dear Dr Rossi
I am a little confused on how the SKLep NGU will be connected into the solar PV circuit. Solar PV that is grid connected has voltages of 240Vdc up to 1000Vdc and most grid connected inverters will not track the voltage (MPPT) unless the input voltage is greater than 240Vdc.
1. Have you managed to increase the total connected voltage of SKLep in series above 240Vdc.
As you are aware that solar is very close to my heart and I am trying to understand how to implement the SKLep NGU into our solar farms. The current issue we are having in Australia is during the day the price of electricity on the grid is negative forcing us to shut down the solar farms for a couple hours during the day which is not good for business but at night the power prices rises to very high levels (the duck curve).
Thank you
Dear Andrea,
On your website I see you have published new questions and answers about the E-Cat SKLep
NGU.
https://ecatthenewfire.com/faq/
It seems to me that there is not much difference between the E-Cat SKLep SSM and the SKLep NGU, only that the NGU is larger because of the new components that have been added. Am I right?
Many thanks,

Dear Dr. Rossi,
it is very encouraging news that the big buyers on the verge of global contracts are interested in E-Cat NGU.
However, many of your longtime fans and supporters have asked me:
1) Will these big buyers be on the brand new order list specifically for E-Cat NGU?
2) Or will these big buyers share the already existing waiting list (order list) for E-Cat with others?
3) In other words: Will these big buyers have priority over people who ordered E-Cat 10 years ago, 2 years ago, etc.?
Have A Nice Day

Dear Andrea Rossi,
If you plan with using SKLep NGU units with PV solar panels, there might be an unanticipated problem.
If you are planning to illuminate the solar panels when the Sun is down (i.e., at night), then the light on the PV solar panels will partially be absorbed and the rest reflected into space. This also happens during the daytime but the ambient illumination from the Sun is so strong that it is not noticeable.
If you so illuminate the PV solar panel using the SKLep NGU, there would be a lot of reflected light. This is called light pollution.
To counter this, you could enclose the PV solar panel outer surface so the light stays inside the enclosure. But then the SKLep NGU generated light will lose energy when it is converted to electrical energy by the PV solar panel. It would seem to me much more efficient to output the electrical energy directly from the SKLep NGU units and avoid the PV solar panel efficiency limitations.
Does this make sense to you or have I totally misunderstood how the SKLep NGU will be used with the PV solar panels?
Steven Nicholes Karels:
Thank you for your insight. Answers will pop up from the demo,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Can you now foresee when will restart the direct streaming of the lamp and when the ECAT NGU will be publicly tested ?

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Based on your answers to my previous questions, May I correctly infer the following:
“Depending on the situation (or configuration), the SKLep NGU may output electrical power, or light illumination, or both.
Is that correct?

Dear Andrea Rossi,
I promise to Never Give Up on asking questions on the SKLep Never Give Up technology!
Does the SKLep NGU produce:
1. External electrical power, DC or AC, Amps?
2. External light, if so, Lumems or similar photo parameter?
3. Both?
4. Some other external energy (RF, ionizing radiation, ,,,)?
What is the size (volume and dimensions) of the basic SKLep NGU unit?
What is the weight of the basic SKLep NGU unit?
Dear Andrea,
The figure you present for the estimated average daily solar production in Rome still seems a bit too high.
An actual amount could become up to 25% lower (efficiency = 0.75) due to the influence of dust, snow, aging, direction, tilt, shading, and temperature.
About COP, I think there are also some good reasons NOT to introduce COP again in an E-Cat NGU specification, and this time with a different definition than before.
– For people already familiar with the term, COP is used as the relation of possible output power to input power and
usually found in heat pump specifications.
– Most E-Cat followers have already learned that an E-Cat SSM generator has an indefinite COP.
– COP is not used anywhere in solar panel specifications and by the large public majority COP relates to the large yearly climate conference, this year COP 28. https://unfccc.int/cop28
Instead, I propose demonstrating the superior power production performance of an NGU generator compared with a modern Solar panel by defining a typical “power multiplication factor” PM ( or perhaps “power amplification factor” PA).
Suggested definition:
An E-Cat NGU generator rated 100W/PM X should be expected to generate at least X times the amount of electricity in a year as generated by 100 W of installed solar panel power
The specified PM will be conservative set allowing the actual actual PM to be somewhat larger.
Let us check the example in Rome:
Production using a 100 W/PM 6 NGU generator:
Assuming 24/7 uptime the actual total AC production in a year: 100 W*24*365 h*0.95(inverter efficiency) =
= 832 kWh/365= 2.28 kWh /day, all year around.
Production using a 100 W Solar Panel :
Estimated total AC production in one year becomes: 0.75(efficiency)*1/4*1.786 kWh*365
= 122 kWh/365 = 0.334 kWh / day.
From the results above the actual PM of the NGU 100W/PM 6 can be calculated as 832/122=6.8.
Best regards
Klas
Klas:
Thank you for your correction,

Dr. Rossi,
A small clarification, please. Alessandro Ferrari wrote “is it radiating light that solar panels can convert?” to which you replied “Yes.” This makes it seem like you are using the light from the E-Cat plasma to power a connected solar panel. You have used this approach in the past, before you began to harvest power directly from the plasma, I believe. Certainly powering a solar panel with light from the plasma should be an effective solution. Given the brilliance of the plasma, and the ability to tune the colour of the light, you would be able to get much more from a solar panel. Also cheaper to build, probably. I previously asked, “can this amplification effect be extended also to other power sources, for example a) wind turbines, b) batteries, c) DC generators, d) AC generators?” to which you also replied “Yes.”
These two situations seem incompatible.
I see three possibilities:
1. The NGU drives an attached and isolated solar panel, getting much more power out of it than sun irradiance could. The benefit to other systems is not amplification but simply addition of the power generated by the NGU.
2. There is some previously unknown (to us!) amplification effect that would apply equally to all forms of electrical generators.
3. It’s more complicated and none of us understand what is going on.
There are no bad answers! Still just trying to wrap my head around this.
Ron
Ron Stringer:
It is more complicated and confidential.

Dear E-Cat fans,
A brief reflection on why CoP 30 was discussed:
Typical 500 Wp photovoltaic panel measures 2.2 x 1.1 m (2.42 m2).
Older 100 Watt E-Cat measures 9 cm x 6 cm x 6 cm. Inside this is probably an unconventional PV panel rolled into a roll. This scrolled panel can have an area 0.18 x 0.09 m (0.0162 m2) that is 149.38 times smaller than a 500 Wp PV panel.
As the 500 Wp PV panel has 5 times the power of the 100 W E-Cat, the comparable area of the PV panel would be 29,87 times smaller.
And CoP 30 is derived from this.
Or is this reasoning completely wrong?
Cathy
Cathy Johnson:
We will discuss the COP issues when we will make hte related demo,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Dott. Rossi,
Could you please clarify the following:
1. Since the NGU ecat work in SSM, what is the need for connection with a solar system and what advantages (safety or technological) are obtained from this configuration compared to pure SSM?
2. Where does the need to combine a solar panel system come from?
3. Will the ecat NGU be connected to the solar plant system’s storage batteries, inverter or both, or other?
Thank you very much.

Dear Andrea,
your answer to the question from Alessandro Ferrari if the e-cat NGU emits light that could be converted to electricity by solar panels, reminds me of your Patent Application No. AU 2021282556 A1 published 2023.01.05.
In your patent you claim:
The residual light inside the apparatus can be conveniently used by transferring it wherever necessary by means of optic fibres, with very high efficiency.
An important application is the coupling of this apparatus with a LED lamp: In an experiment made with a customer we reached 200000 Lumens with 4 Watts of electric energy supplied from the grid to the apparatus.
1. I think this is the patent for the grid bound version?
2. Is the E-Cat NGU producing the same volume of light?
3. Do you intend using the light to generate electricity?
4. Will you use solar panels for this?
5. How big will the gain in energy?
Warm regards,
Ulrich
Ulrich W.A. Kranz:

Dear Readers:
Again about my comments related to the COP applied to the Ecat NGU connected to solar systems: it appears that such COP should be much higher, after reading the Extract from GPT-4 chat 2023-11-12 “Estimated AC production from a modern, 400W-2m2, solar panel in Rome”.
From this technologically updated report, the real production of electricity per day is 1 786 Wh/24 hours for 2 m^2, therefore 983 Wh for 1 m^2, equal to 37.5 Wh/h as the average of the whole year for a solar panel with a surface of 1 square meter.
Obviously the Ecat NGU should be a veritable game changer of this universally diffused sector of rebewable energy sources.
These data have been measured in Rome (Italy), therefore we can assume that this value corresponds moreless to the world’s average, considering that the irradiance value grows up toward the equator and decreases toward the poles.

Dr. Rossi,
Thank you so much for your clarification. I will anxiously await the demonstration! This is a fascinating extension of the E-Cat’s utility, with great promise to create extremely efficient hybrid systems. Now it will be clear what you mean when you have repeatedly said the the E-Cat will work together with all kind of energy systems.
Further to what Claudio Varotto just wrote regarding your “failures,” this invention wipes clean the slate. If you had had more success with previous ventures you would probably never have created the E-Cat. This creation has the potential to remake the world, at a time when this could hardly be more critical.
As for the recently discovered problem with the SKLep, if you had not found this now, it would have been discovered later, perhaps at a time when it could have destroyed faith in the safety of the E-Cat completely.
As to the business side of things, I have some very, very humble advice. Don’t look to make big deals with big partners – make lots of little deals, where you can maintain some control, and if some of the partners are bad, it doesn’t create problems that endanger the whole enterprise.
Whatever you choose, you have many supporters who believe in you. Bring this project to fruition and you will have an honoured place in history.

Dear Dr. Rossi,
daily reading about the E-Cat NGU I find myself scratching my head in an attempt to understand this coupling with solar panels.

Dear Andrea,
From many questions and answers here, and information on your website, it seems to me that the E-Cat NGU, is similar in the way it behaves to the E-Cat SKLep. Could you confirm the following.
1. The EC NGU operates in self-sustain mode, requiring no input power from an external source
2. The EC NGU produces DC electricity
3. The EC NGU has a projected operating time of 100,000 hours
4. The EC NGU will be offered for sale in units of 10 W and 100 W
5. The EC NGU includes additional components that were not in the EC SKLep, making the units larger and heavier.
6. These additional components are necessary to prevent the failure encountered in October.

Can we simply say that ECAT is an electricity generator that can be used stand alone or combined with any other power production system?

Giuseppe Censorio:

Dr. Rossi,
Thank you for your answers! I am still uncertain regarding the setup of the solar panel / NGU configuration. Here is what you said regarding the COP – “I calculated the COP based on the ratio between the irradiation of the sun ( 1 kW/m^2 ) and the energy generated ( 200 W/m^2 ). With the application of the ECAT SKLep NGU the generation would be 30 times higher.”
My problem is that “the ECAT SKLep NGU” is underspecified. The NGU comes (I assume) in units of 10 watts. If this is still the case, how many 10 watt units would be required to get a COP of 30 with, say, a 500 watt solar panel?
If this is still confidential, no problem, I can live without the answer. But it seems a simple thing to specify, if you don’t mind. And it could make a difference in the economic viability of the system.
Ron
Ron Stringer:
The Ecat SKLep NGU does not come as you supposed. More details will be given during the public test.

Dr. Rossi, I left some questions here last night but they seem to have been missed somehow.
I will ask again, more briefly.
1) will the NGU act as a straightforward generator, as the SKLep did?
2) does the combination of solar panel and NGU give a higher output than the NGU ALONE?
3) If (2) is yes, what is the ratio of solar panel power rating to NGU rating that will give maximum efficiency? The answer would be x watts solar panel: y watts NGU, please. If it is not that simple, could you give a brief explanation?
4) can this amplification effect be extended also to other power sources, for example a) wind turbines, b) batteries, c) DC generators, d) AC generators?
This is a fascinating new turn in your invention, I am eager to learn more!

Dear Dr. Rossi,
let’s say you will have a nice demo of the Photovoltaic system with E-Cat NGU with some publicity. As a result of the nice demo, 80,000 households with an existing PV system will order 20 E-Cat NGUs each.
The question is: Do you really want to contact 2260 certified local installers 80,000 times or will people be able to buy the E-Cat NGU directly?
Have A Nice Day
Cathy
Cathy Johnson:
We have already contacts with contractors organizations, besides with our instructions manual every certified contractor that has already installed the existing solar system would be able to install the Ecats, with also the help of a tutoring video that we will put in our website, together with a link to contact us directly for help. Probably will be born problems, surely we will resolve them as soon as they will pop up.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Steven Nicholes Karels,
To be apples-to-apples, I’d expect you’d want to compare the PV’s 25-year warranty interval kwh/USD calculation to the SKLep NGU’s 3-year warranty interval kwh/USD calculation.
(Yes, I’ve done that calculation & was wondering if you had. It points in the direction of initially wanting hybrid systems to leverage the best strengths of each device.)
W.
Dear Dr. Rossi
if also your ecat ngu for use with PV is in the market:
1- Who will install it to the PV? Will there be installers from Leonardo or will you work together with already existing solar technicians and companies?
As you wrote, there have to be 20 pieces of ecat ngu 100W needed for the inverter of the PV.
2- What happens in the night when PV produce nothing, will it produce at least 2 KW (20×0,1KW)?

Dear Dr. Rossi,
To summarize the output of the Rossi Effect, recent comments on your blog suggest that the quality of the plasma produced by the E-Cat devices sets your invention apart from LENR/”Cold Fusion” devices that demonstrate excess heat primarily?
Would you be comfortable with the following description, or requiring additional/different elements?
Rossi Effect output = sustained high energy plasma in the form of knotted skyrmions from dense electron clusters.
Happy Labor Day weekend.
Wishing you the best of luck and a positive result from the independent testing in September.

Dr Rossi,
You said that the expected COP of the NGU connected to a solar system is around 30: can you explain how this this value is calculated ?
COP can be intended in various modes,
Best
Jorge
Jorge:
Good question.
I calculated the COP based on the ratio between the irradiation of the sun ( 1 kW/m^2 ) and the energy generated ( 200 W/m^2 ).
With the application of the ECAT SKLep NGU the generation would be 30 times higher. This is what I intend by COP 30 in this kind of application.
This is the target we are aiming to. Maybe it will be less, we’ll see, but theoretically we should reach this target. In reality we will settle with what we’ll get.
Warm Regards,

WaltC,
You posted “Have you also calculated the “total kWh output per USD” of each device over the device’s rated warranty interval?”
No. But to do so we would need to assume the following:
a. PV Solar Panel – 25-year lifetime with a linear decrease in output to about 80%.
b. SKLep NGU – an 11-year lifetime or a 25-year lifetime? Unspecified decrease in output? If 11-year lifetime, then add the changeout costs.
Greetings Andrea,
If I may pose a followup to recent questions about E-cat amplification: How would the system power output compare between using a solar panel versus a battery supplying the same amount of electricity as the solar panel would have?
Thanks much and best luck with your development,
Steve
Steve Albers:
Sorry, I do not understand exactly your question: can you rephrase it more clearly ? I do not understand which sense could have a comparision between a battery and a solar panel: they are two completely different things, although complementary; a solar panel generates electricity, while a battery discharges electricity that has been charged in it from an electricity generator.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Dr. Rossi,
I would like to ask about connecting E-Cat SKLep NGU to the photovoltaic system:
1) The cable (string) leading from the photovoltaic panels will be connected to the E-Cat SKLep NGU and the cable from the E-Cat SKLep NGU will then be connected to the inverter?
or
2) Will the PV panels remain connected to the inverter as they are so far and the E-Cat SKLep NGU will be connected to the free DC input (MPPT) in the inverter?
Have A Nice Weekend

To All,
Let’s compare PV Solar Panels to SKLep NGU technology units in terms of power, energy, and cost parameters.
A quick look on Amazon shows a 450W output PV solar panel (in quantity) at a price of $268.50 USD per panel. The PV solar panel has dimensions of 44.7 inches by 72.5 inches.
A 6-inch by 6-inch plate could easily contain 4each, 10 W SKLep NGU modules which would produce nominal 48 VDC (series connection) with 40 W of output power. Each SKLep NGU is assumed to cost $25 USD.
The PV solar panel produces energy only when the sun is visible and sufficiently high in the sky. Assume this can be modeled as 6 hours per day of maximum sunlight.
The SKLep NGU produces 10W of electrical power per module 24 hours per day.
Power per square inch:
PV solar panel: 0.139 W per inch squared.
SKLep NGU: 1.11 W per inch squared.
Energy per 24-hour day per inch squared:
PV solar panel: 0.834 W-hours per inch squared.
SKLep NGU: 26.64 W-hrs per inch squared.
Power per USD:
PV solar panel: 1.7W per USD.
SKLep NGU: 0.4W per USD.
Daily Energy per USD:
PV solar panel: about 10W-hrs per USD.
SKLep NGU: about 10 W-hrs per USD.
Comments:
1. The SKLep NGU could be mounted on a smaller support area structure.
2. The SKLep NGU does not require exposure to the sun.
3. The SKLep NGU could be stacked vertically so higher volumetric densities may be obtained, compared to a PV solar panel.
4. The SKLep NGU will not be affected by environmental effects such as clouds or snow coverings.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
1. Can you clarify the required role the PV solar panel plays in the SKLep NGU scenario?
2. I believe you answered a question that the SKLep NGU could be used without an input source (i.e., such as a PV solar panel). Is that correct?
3. What other energy or power producing devices come to mind that could benefit from SKLep NGU technology?
Steven Nicholes Karels:
1. There is not a required role, the Ecat just multiplies its energy emission
2. yes
3. it depends on the situations

Dear Andrea,
it’s a wonderful idea and a breakthrough to amplify the power of the existing solar power plants by a factor of ten!
Even if you must install additional inverters.
When we count the existing solar power plants on the globe that could be enhanced in such a way, we can give up a lot of fossil fuel plants.
I wish you success in the coming EV demonstration.

I am very pleased that your company Leonardo published on 6 November 2023 a statement on the status of the E-cat development. This increased confidence in the plasma generator. Personally, I think mastering the E-catSKLep serviceability is the most important. Automotive traffic is the most demanding application.
All the Best J.Š.
Dear Andrea,
Most domestic solar installations charge batteries to store energy when there is no sunshine.
If the E-Cat NGU can generate electricity, could you just connect it directly to batteries and charge them (without the need for solar panels)?
Many thanks,
Frank Acland
Frank Acland:
As I repeated many times, the difference is that the amount of energy produced with the application of the Ecat NGU is much more, therefore, obviously, it is possible to increase much more the capacity of the batteries, therefore in the same surface you increase by orders of magnitude the energy produced 24/7. Besides, I also repeat that the solar application does not exclude other applications,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea,
Regarding the E-Cat NGU.
1) Does it operate in SSM (self-sustain mode)?
2) If the E-Cat NGU is generating electricity, why does it need to combine with a solar system (which adds complexity and expense)?

Dear Dr Rossi,
It’s been a while since I asked questions about his blog.
I cannot deny that “the postponement” due to “security problems” of the Ecat EV demo had cooled my enthusiasm a bit, I had been waiting for months for a public demonstration of your wonderful Creature, but unfortunately the security event that took place It is verified that this impressive demonstration was “postponed”.
He has already confirmed on several occasions that it is only a postponement, and obviously this can only please us who have been following her for more than 11 years.
I’m sure:
1) has already identified the cause of the security event and that
2) as soon as possible it will be definitively resolved
Can you confirm if I’m not asking too much?
Today, to my great joy with this press release:
https://ecatthenewfire.com/update-from-leonardo-corporation-on-the-current-state-of-e-cat-development/
You announced an upcoming demonstration that will see the use of SKlep NGUs in synergy with “a solar system”.
3) Demonstrating without a shadow of a doubt, with data that will be visible to anyone (I imagine in streaming) that the energy production of the “solar system” as a whole can also take place at night when the solar panels of the system itself, for obvious reasons they will be unproductive !!!
Can you confirm if I’m not asking too much?
I can’t wait to know the date of the new demonstration!!!!
If I can, I would like to try to go a little further, also trying to interpret what is reported in your statement.
The Ecat-EV Demonstration I imagine uses/will use the SKLEP in SSM version.
4) I imagine the ECAT NGU will be made to work in synergy with a “GRID” solar system and therefore interconnected to the grid. I therefore imagine that the Ecat NGU version that will be used in this new demo will be the “Grid-Tie” one
5) or will the version of Ecat NGU that will be used always be in the SSM version?
Can you confirm if I’m not asking too much?
Thank you in advance for any clarifications you may/can provide.
6) I sincerely hope that this year “Santa Claus” will be able to give us a “New and stimulating ECAT demonstration”!!!
Is this a “dream” that you think could come true?

What numbers should I be using?
Steven N. Karels,
Thank you for your suggestion,

Dear Andrea Rossi,
No matter what you call it, it will be a great development for solar and energy production.
That said, there are some practical issues:
1. Most PV Solar Panel applications are in the approximately 1m x 2m panel size and, under full sunlight, produce 300W to 400W of DC power. Therefore, the inverters will expect approximately 30VDC to 40VDC at about 10 Amperes as the maximum power coming from the PS Solar Panel.
2. Microinverters are in that power and voltage range. String Inverters use a number of PV Solar Panels in series and can accept much higher voltages but the same regime of Amperes. I know the SKLep technology is limited in the output voltage when connected in series – roughly a limitation of 200VDC. String inverters can accept up to 500VDC or more.
3. Your paper suggests an increase of about a factor of 6 in energy per hour over the daily energy from a PV Solar Panel.
Therefore, I would expect the application of the combination of PV Solar Panels with SKLep NGU will be for physically small PV Solar Panels of the 50W to 100W variety. This would result in a total output of about 300W to 600W of electrical power. About 80% of the power would come from the SKLep NGU unit(s).
I would suggest prototyping using the Enphase IQ7 or IQ8 microinverters. I have tested these with power supplies to simulate the SKLep SSM 100W modules and they work well at a nominal input of around 30VDC and a draw of around 12 Amperes.
Dear Andrea!
Are you going to do a new demo with an electric car or maybe a demo with less quantity of connected E-cats, for example electric moped?
You then only need 0,5kW, 50 E-cats.
Less risk that some will hassle.
If the E-cat will demo together with sunpanels, people may think it is a fake.
Best regards
Nils Fryklund
Nils Fryklund:
We will remake also the EV test, but to make the difference in the solar field is the energy per sq.foot or sq. meter during 24 hours per day, also in the dark, which is based on numbers, not on opinions, intelligent or differently intelligent as those might be.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea Rossi,
In your open letter you posted:
“The E-Cat SKLep NGU can be combined with solar panels in a synergistic relationship. E-Cat technology is able to act as an amplifier of electricity generated by solar panels. We believe that this amplification effect will make it possible to generate at least as much electricity in one hour as a solar panel can normally generate in one day.”
But when asked about whether the SKLep NGU requires input from the solar panel, you posted No.
Could you please clarify? The term amplification normally is taken to mean generating a gain from an input signal to an output signal that is greater or is amplified. For example: Y = A * X, where Y is the output, X is the input, and A is the Gain Factor.
If there is no input power from the PV solar panel, and you still achieve a non-zero output, perhaps amplification is not the correct term?
Steven Nicholes Karels:
I think amplification is a correct term, even if solar panels do not feed the Ecat, albeit you surely speak English better than me.

Klas,
I downloaded the Product Features datasheet for the APsystems QT2. I have some concerns:
a. You approach envisions four groups of four 100W SKLap SSM units. Each group driving a single input of the four inputs on the QT2 microinverter. Tied in series, the four SKLep SSM 100W units will produce 48VDC which is well within the allowed input voltage range of 26V to 60V, although outside of the Peak Power Tracking Voltage range of 28V to 45V. If all four inputs are so configured, you will be inputting 1.6 kW of power from the SKLep SSM units. However, the SKLep SSM units have a shutdown feature if greater than 5% over the maximum power is demanded. The QT2 microinverter has a Maximum Continuous Output Power of 2,000VA. So, if the load exceeds 1,680VA, the SKLep SSM units may shutdown.
b. If you increased the number of SKLep SSM 100W units to 5, to avoid the potential shutdown problem, then the input voltage will elevate to 60V. The 60V is right at the upper allowed limit for the Operating Voltage Range of 60V. One might get around this by lowering each SKLep SSM to slightly below 12VDC. But that might reduce the available power from the SKLep SSM 100W units. If the power reduction is more than 5%, you might have the potential of a shutdown again.
Steve
Klas,
I agree with your analysis and your conclusion.
However, the original question was given the existence of a PV Solar Panel system, how would one use SKLep SSM technology to improve the PV Solar Panel system performance?
The simplest solution is to leave the PV Solar Panel system alone and implement a parallel SKLep SSM system.
Then there are choices depending on Grid-Tie or No Grid options.
Steve
Dear Andrea Rossi,
On the SKLep SSM units, what happens when:
a. The demand is much higher than the nominal rating. For example, a demand of 15W on a 10W SKLep SSM unit?
b. The demand is much lower than the nominal rating. For example, a demand of 5W on a SKLep SSM unit?
c. The demand is slightly higher than the nominal rating. For example, a demand of 10.1W on a 10W SKLep SSM unit?
Thank you.
Steven Nicholes Karels:
a. the Ecat shuts down
b. the load draws the energy it needs
c- there is a margin of 5% before the Ecat shuts down

To all Readers,
The discussion on how to improve the efficiency of an installed solar system is ongoing here
but I still miss an analysis of the real benefits of having solar and E-Cat power in one system.
If the main perceived reason is “only one inverter is needed” I think
building a new reliable and easily expandable E-Cat Power system from scratch could offer several advantages.
Let us analyze more the benefits while reviewing a practical case of a grid-connected microinverter
in a residential installation.
In the example I describe here, I use a 3-phase microinverter type QT2 and an ECU-R gateway.
https://emea.apsystems.com/portfolio-item/apsystems-qt2/
From the datasheet, one QT2 can safely handle 4 inputs of each 4 pcs 100W (12V, 8,3 A) E-Cat generators connected in series.
This should allow a 24/7 production of up to 1,6 kW of grid power, corresponding to 14,000 kWh/year.
As no batteries are involved, any peak load over 1.6kW is fetched from the grid, and not consumed power is exported back.
I believe this setup might be a good start for many households and when you need more power, just add another QT2 and some more
E-Cats.
Still, it should also be noted that the QT2 is a grid-following inverter, requiring a grid connection and
a suitable grid-forming microinverter might be the better choice in some cases.
So, what are the real benefits of a separate system compared with adding E-Cat to an existing solar inverter?
1. More reliable and predictable (constant,24/7) power generation.
– reduced risk for “string breakdowns”
– no solar panel “shadowing “interfering effects
– – no need for “time-switching” circuitry
2. Easier installation and expansion
– no high voltage issues (voltage range, safety, extra converters)
– flexible and convenient modular expansion
Fine, but what about the extra costs for the microinverter inverter?
Calculation (estimated excl VAT):
– 1pcs QT2+ECU-control unit+ initial certified installation: < 1000 $
Extension with another QT2 cost is then easy and cost-effective.
https://www.planetsoarshop.com/en/products/apsystems-qt2-micro-inventer/downloads
– 1.6 kW of E-CatPower (16*249$ + installation): < 5000 $
My conclusion:
Whether I have already a solar system installed OR not, based on presently available information,
I would probably go for a separate E-Cat microinverter-based system.
Best regards
Klas
Klas:
Thank you for the suggestion,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea Rossi,
You had previously spoken of a grid-tied system that required grounding and/or power from the electrical grid. later, the SKLep SSM which had no such requirement.
Later, you reported a “Safety” problem. Is the “Safety” problem common to both of the above designs or to only the SKLep SSM design?
Steven Nicholes Karels:
Thank you for your insight,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea Rossi,
Analysis on Using SKLep Technology to Supplement PV Solar Panels for Electricity Production.
Assume existing 400W max output PV Solar Panel with a microinverter capable of outputting 350W of grid power. Current cost for a 400W Solar Panel is about $750. Maximum voltage is about 37VDC.
Cost for a microinverter is around $200. Minimum start-up voltage is 30VDC.
Cost for SKLep Technology unit is about $2.50 per Watt.
Assume SKLep unit is specified to output 32VDC (For example, 3 100W SKLep units wired in series and adjusted for a total voltage of 32VDC.).
Assume using a diode bridge to control power, coming from the PV Solar Panel and the SKLep unit, that is received by the microinverter. The unit with the highest voltage provides power to the microinverter.
The “sunk costs” of the current PV Solar Panel unit is the cost of the PV Solar Panel (about $750) and the cost of the microinverter (about $200) plus some cabling and rack costs.
The additional cost of the addition of the SKLep technology units will be $750 if we assume a 300W output. Optionally, we could provide a Lipo battery with control logic with an assumed cost of $100.
The rated lifetime of the PV Solar Panel and the microinverter is 25 years. The rated lifetime of the SKLep technology unit is about 11 years – we shall assume it is 12.5 years
Assuming a location where the sun will provide 6 hours per day of useful PV Solar Panel energy, adding the SKLep technology will increase total energy production by a factor of four. This can be done at a cost an additional 2 x ($300 + $100) over the “sunk costs” of $950 ($750 + $200) or a total lifetime cost of $1,750. So, a factor of four increase in total energy output for a roughly doubling of the equipment cost. This does not include the additional labor costs to install the SKLep technology units and the mid-life replacement of the SKLep technology units labor costs.
As an alternative, where no PV Solar Panel installation exists, use SKLep technology with microinverters or grid tie inverters. This will likely be less expensive than installing new PV Solar Panels.
Thoughts?

Dear E-Cat enthusiasts,
there was a misunderstanding in the ECW article which resulted in another misunderstandings in the comments there and here.
Dr. Rossi mentioned the efficiency of the existing solar power SYSTEMS, not the efficiency of the solar PANELS.
Photovoltaic power systems (also called solar systems) consist of the following main parts:
– Photovoltaic panels
– inverter
– (usually also) battery
If you connect several E-Cats to the free DC input of the inverter (pay attention to the minimum starting voltage: usually 180-200 V), this will slightly increase the efficiency of the entire SYSTEM.
For example, in countries with expensive electricity (EU), the payback period will be reduced from 5-7 years to 3.5-4 years.
The whole idea is complicated by the fact that there are no DC-to-DC step-up converters on the market that will increase the voltage from 12V DC to 200V DC.
This is a detail that Dr. Rossi to arrange with the manufacturers of DC-to-DC converters even before the launch of the E-Cats, if they are to have a smooth marketing in the photovoltaic power systems sector.
Note: No one wants to connect 15O MINI E-Cats in a complicated scheme with 200V output.
Customers want 10-15 pcs 100 Watt E-Cats with 200 V+ output, which is simply not possible (10×12=120V).
Note: Connecting all E-Cats in series is impractical, because if one of them fails, the entire set of all E-Cats will likely fail.
Dr. Rossi completely ignored or misunderstood this detail in the JoNP discussion mentioned a few weeks ago.
Have A Nice Weekend
Cathy Johnson:
Thank you for your insight,

Dear Andrea,
What do I understand wrong? If I add an E-Cat to a solar module, I can control the system so that it delivers the same power to a battery 24/7. This would make the design of photovoltaic systems easier to plan. However, I don’t have a real advantage, as the E-Cat doesn’t run at full power and its service life is not proportional to the energy drawn. It would therefore be better to only run E-Cats at full power in order to save costs. Or you would have to use lots of small E-Cats that switch off and on again depending on the amount of solar power.
Best Regards

I totally agree with Manuel Cilia. Once stable ecat ssm out, there will be obviously no need for solar panels… and for many other energy sources.

I am not sure why you would want to increase the performance of a solar panel if you can provide steady 24 hour power supply with the Ecat or am I missing something here.
Manuel Cilia:
The Ecat can multiply the energy generation of solar systems.
As I said, the rationale of this effect, upon which we are working with the Ecat SKLep-Nevergiveup can be found here:

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Assume you wanted to augment an existing PV solar system. We model the PV solar system output as a constant between the hours of 9 AM and 3 PM (local time). Assume the average output during that time is X kW. The solar energy delivered to the inverter would be 6 * X kW-hrs. In our model, the PV solar system outputs nothing during the hours between 3 PM and the next day until 9 AM.
Suppose you added a switch that could take one of two strings and feed the selected input to the inverter. And you wanted to keep the input power to the inverter the same regardless of which source was selected.
One string would be the PV solar system, which outputs X kW during the 9AM to 3PM period. The other string input to the switch would be a combination of a battery and the SKLep SSM units. The SKLep units produce a constant output of Y kW.
During the active time of the PV solar system (9AM to 3PM), the switch channels the PV solar energy to the inverter. During this time, the SKLep units charge the battery. The battery is of sufficient capacity to accept and discharge 18 * Y kW-hrs of energy.
During the non-solar time (3PM until 9AM of the next day), the SKLep units and the battery provide energy to the switch and, combined, provide X kW to the inverter. So, the input to the inverter is always X kW of power.
Solving the equation, Y = 0.75 * X.
For example, if the PV solar system produces 8 kW of electrical power going to the inverter during the 9AM to 3PM period, this will yield 48 kW-hrs of energy.
Y will be 6 kW of power being generated by the SKLep units.
During the 9AM to 3PM period, the SKLep units will charge the battery with 6 * 6kW-hrs of energy.
During the non-solar period of 3PM to 9AM the next day, the inverter will receive 6kW of power from the SKLep and 6 * 6kW-hrs/18 hrs from the battery being discharged.
Or, 6kW coming from the SKLep units and 36 kW-hrs/18 hrs (or 2kW) coming from the battery.
In this analysis, the inverter would see a constant level of power being fed to it. The inverter would not need to be upgraded but there would be a factor of 4 increase in the amount of energy released into the grid or the household.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
I wonder if the use of electronic chips in the E cat 100 Watt improves safety and reliability in a high-speed car?
Any damage immediately makes the Ecat 100 Watt unit unusable.
One possible solution is that using external AI units based on solid electronics could solve the problem. do you agree with this statement?

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).
With regards Jitse

Dear Greg Leonard,
If/when the data of the PowerCell would be officially confirmed in practical installations, all present
national regulations for exporting to the grid have to be completely revised anyway.
Due to the present and dramatically increasing need for sustainable power, and after a period of surprise and turbulence, I expect most governments to present quite favorable conditions for the residential (and industrial) production of E-Cat Power.
In fact, we might even see a race on the matter.

Klas
Greg Leonard,
I have not tested it but I do not think that adding one or more SKLep SSM units in series in the PV string will work.
I know that PV strings have problems when one of the PV panels is shadowed. The shadowing of one panel restricts the available current in all the PV panels in the same string.
Therefore, at night, all the PV panels are effectively “shadowed” and the SKLep SSM units in series will be current limited by the PV panels that are in the series string with the SKLep SSM units.
Likewise, the SKLep SSM units are likely current limited. For example, an SKLep SSM 100W unit at 12VDC runs at about 8.3 Amps. A 320-Watt PV panel in full sunlight likely has a voltage of 40 VDC. So, the PV current would be 8 Amps. When the sun is low or clouds are present, the voltage and amps from the PV panel drop. This would restrict the current flowing through the SKLep SSM unit(s). Since the SKLep SSM unit’s voltage is limited to 12 VDC, the added power will be reduced.
A more detailed analysis should be run with the characterization of the specific PV panels used in your system.
Thoughts?
Dear AR,
I assume you mean that, because, an existing PV system will already be grid connected – all you need do is to add a few eCats in series to an existing PV string, and you will have extra power during the day as well as some power at night. My PV system has 14 panels in two strings (6 and 8), and an SMA inverter with spare capacity. Just need to calculate the number of eCats to add to each string – and stay within the voltage and power limits of the inverter.
The extra problem I have is that, as an early adopter, I am paid about 71p for every unit generated.
The contract is valid only as long as I don’t change the system!!

Greg Leonard

Dear AR,
As I understand it, the complexity of a Solar Inverter would not be necessary for an eCat setup. The Solar Inverter has to match varying voltages as the day progresses (clouds, height and brilliance of the sun etc).
A dedicated eCat converter should be simpler and cheaper.
Get one of the big guys, like SMA of Germany, to produce them for Leonardo Corp.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
A point design of SKLep SSM 100W units coupled with a Tesla Solar Inverter.
Consider using a number of eCat SKLep SSM 100W units to power a residential home using a Tesla Solar Inverter, 3.8KW.
A Tesla Solar Inverter has four inputs, nominally for four strings of solar panels connected in series. Replace the solar panels with eCat SKLep SSM 100 modules.
The input specification for each solar panel string is 60VDC to 600VDC at a maximum of 13 Amps.
I would propose to use four strings of SKLep SSM 100 units with 9 100W units per string.
At 12VDC output per 100W units and 9 units in series would yield an input voltage to the Tesla Solar inverter of 108VDC. The input current would be 8.33 Amps.
The four strings would provide a total of 3.6 kW of power. The Tesla Solar inverter has a conversion efficiency of 98% so the output on the 240VAC line would be about 3.5 kW.
Running that 24/7 would result in about 85 kW-hrs per day.
This point design results in the following:
1. The input voltage to the Tesla Solar Inverter is 108 VDC – well in the allowed input range of 60 – 600 VDC.
2. The input current per Tesla Solar Inverter string is 8.3 AMPS – well within the specified maximum of 13 Amps.
3. The series voltage of the eCat SKLep SSM is 108 VDC – well within the maximum series voltage limitation of 200 VDC.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
There are several US start-up aircraft companies that are developing all-electric aircraft for taxi and cargo applications. The common feature is the use of Lipo batteries (or equivalent).
The other common element on these aircraft is the large amount of power required during take-off, whether it be Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) or Conventional Take Off and Landing (CTOL). Likewise, relatively little power is consumed during the cruise mode.
The other common feature of these electric aircraft is their limited range, as compared to fuel-based aircraft.
This suggests the possibility of SKLep SSM technology to provide the real-time charging of these types of aircraft during the cruise portions of their flights. Batteries would be used during the critical take off and landing portions of the flight.
Nor would there be a requirement for fully charging the batteries during the flights. It would be reasonable to assume some level of charging support at the airports they fly into and out of or a centralized charging area for air taxi applications.
While not a complete solution, your technology could supplement the energy usage in this class of aircraft.

Good job to you and your entire team.

Believe me, I really sympathize you and all our Readers sharing with you the same feeling.
We are doing our best to be as fast as possible. I think that within this year we will resolve the problem with the non EV connected Ecats, and will restart the streaming. With the EV more time will be necessary and, honestly, presently I am not able to have a guess about when we will be able to fix a date.

Dear Andrea!
The first stream with the lamp had already proven that the E-Cat can deliver more energy, any conceivable battery.
For the next stream I recommend you to do something more entertaining.
A suggestion: Build a transparent indoor fountain where you can see that several watts of power are necessary to pump the corresponding amount of water.
Water is always nice to watch because the flow never repeats. Maybe you can also combine it with a play of colors. You put the whole fountain on a rotating plexiglass disk, which is driven by a second E-Cat.
I think such a fountain should be fail-safe enough to run for a few years. It’s really a gimmick anyway.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Consider an alternative demonstration of SKLep SSM technology
Equip a Dragonfly Heavy Lift Drone with SKLep SSM modules and Lipo batteries.
It has a cargo capacity of 30 kg.
Power requirements are 45.6 VDC and about 110 Amps or 5kW. 500 of the 10W SKLep would weigh about 15 kg.
With a horizontal speed of about 50 mph, you could circumnavigate the Earth in about 500 – 1,000 hours, depending on winds and route selection.
Add some more SKLep SSM units for satcomm and telemetry packages, you would still be under the 30 kg carrying capacity.
I would envision flying over the ocean for most of the journey. I would suggest you avoid Russia, Ukraine, and Israel airspaces.
Around the world in 80 days or less (ref: Jules Verne)

Steven Nicholes Karels,

Dr Rossi,
The streaming made for the EcatSKLep-SSM-powered lamp has already given evidence beyond any possible doubt that the Ecat has generated an amount of energy that no battery with the same weight could generate; notwithstanding this fact, it is important that you restart the same streaming to give also evidence of the lifetime of it.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Wilfred posted “If you now have to work on the E-Cat Core anyway, wouldn’t it make sense to tackle the next stage of downsizing (increasing power density) at the same time?”
If this is a very trivial change, then you MIGHT possibly consider including this change in your redesign. However, I would recommend against any changes other than that change(s) required to resolve the current problem.
Engineers love to make changes. But each change must be thoroughly tested and there are unforeseen cross-effects which might occur. Program Managers despise multiple simultaneous changes as it increases program risk and schedule uncertainties.
Fix the problem – then make improvements. 47 years of engineering experience speaks.
Dear Andrea,

Dear Andrea Rossi,
I do believe that you and your team will solve the current technological problem.
As I look for the best application of eCat SKLep SSM, I am still drawn to residential electrical power applications.
I suggest that SKLep SSM is best suited for applications where constant and continuous operation is required.
I further suggest that residential locations (homes, condo, apartment complexes) could be equipped with battery storage systems. The purpose of these battery systems would be to handle the variations in demand by the residential unit. The SKLep SSM units would slowly charge the battery systems, supplying constant power 24/7. The battery systems, through an appropriate converter, would provide the working AC power.
If grid electrical power is available, the converter would synchronize its output to the grid power. If the grid power is lost, the power connection to the electrical grid would be disabled for safety of electrical linesman working to restore power to the electrical grid. A separate grid monitoring line would receive grid power so the converter could tell when the electrical grid power was presence and its characteristics.
The SKLep SSM should be sized to meet the average energy requirements of the residence, plus 10%. Any excess electrical energy could be passed back to the electrical grid when it is operating and, perhaps, when it is most needed. The 10% limitation is there to not provide too much electrical power to the grid so as to not overload the local grid wiring and transformers.
If the residence had an immediate need for short term additional electrical energy, such as charging several Electric Vehicles, then grid power could flow into the residence.
This philosophy, I suggest, would generate a symbiotic relationship between the grid system and the residential power system.
Thoughts?
