    Dear Dr. Rossi,
    maybe you want to see the future of farming. Made possible with your invention.
    It is the third of its kind that has been built in the last five years in this country. Of course, this country values self-sufficiency and is willing to pay for the well-being of its citizens. But with your ecat and the cheap energy, this will probably become the rule everywhere.

    Dear Dr Rossi,
    having spent a large part of your life working on this technology, and being very close to it, you maybe unable to see the wood for the trees, as an old aphorism goes.
    The Ecat technology is a development of historical importance, and incredible magnitude.
    It would be too much to say familiarity breed contempt, but it is likely you do not fully appreciate the priceless value of your achievement.
    The world will soon be aware, God willing, and rightly grateful.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Another eCat application…

    Consider a transatlantic subsea pipeline(s) for oil and/or natural gas from the US to Europe? Deep water unmanned pumping stations powered by eCat technology working 24/7 would pump the product. No more transporting by ship.

    With a properly designed and implemented system, it would run continuously for decades.

    Thoughts?

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    Thank you for the suggestion, but: I am receiving from our Readers many suggestions to go subsea, in the sky, in the space, underground… so far my mind is humbly thinking to deliver on the ground.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    A few questions on the preparation for the upcoming EV test:

    1. Is everything on schedule for your first closed doors test with in the first 10 day s of October?

    2. Are you already performing initial runs with the EV to characterize the performance?

    3. Will you also be recording (video, data and otherwise) the closed door test for your own records? This could be useful comparison data for evaluating the performance of the public run.

    Anyway good luck and I hope all goes well with you and your team in these last few weeks of preparation.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    The use of eCat technology to allow continuous travel at high speeds does not make economic sense. Assuming an energy efficiency of 0.3kW-hr/mile and a sustained speed of 80 mph, we compute a minimum required eCat output of 24 kW.

    At a cost of $2.50USD/Watt the cost for eCat components would be $60,000 USD.

    Most people drive less than 20 miles per day. Assuming a quadrupling of that range for daily charging means that daily charging will require 80 miles * 0.30 kW-hrs/mile = 24 kW-hrs.

    A 1 or 2 kW eCat operating while the car is parked will provide sufficient charge for daily travel. In this case, the eCat costs will range between $2,500 AND $5,000 USD.
    Longer travel can use charging stations. This will less if the EV can accept a lower charging rate. This is applicable where residential charging is not available.

    Assuming a 1kW eCat is sufficient and the mobile charging system could be produced for $3,000 USD, and a grid electric cost of $0.20 USD / kW-hr, the added mobile charger would pay for itself in 15,000 kW-hrs. At an assumed daily energy use of 24 kW-hrs, the system would pay for itself in under 2 years.

  24. Ron

    Dr Rossi,
    With an E-Cat powered E.V , why not split the battery in half? One will power the E.V. while the other will be charging by the E-Cat. When the powering battery runs low on charge a switching system reverses the two batteries. The E.V. electrical system never “sees” the E-Cat. The E.V. electronics will only “see” a battery that it’s designed to operate with.

    Dear Andrea,

    Your website states that the operational lifetime of an E-Cat NGU unit is 100,000 hours.
    What would happen at the end of that lifetime?

    a) The unit would stop working?
    b) The unit would work, but at a lower efficiency?
    c) You don’t know yet, because you haven’t run one for that length of time?

    Dear Andrea,

    I suspect that Nicola Tesla wanted to form a plasma inside the dome with his tower and control it with copper plates that were never mounted.
    In this respect, Tesla’s design has similarities with the plasma chamber of the E-Cat.
    Could it be that Tesla and you were working on the same theory?

    It would be spectacular if there were constant sparks and lightning around the car with the E-Cat during the EV demonstration.

    When we returned from vacation with our family, we were already able to enjoy such a spectacle: https://photos.app.goo.gl/MK8YvRqjAwhuhnop8
    The plane and the electronics in it did not break down. Hopefully there will be no dense fog during the demonstration.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Martian Power
    “To effectively run a habitat on Mars and create fuel, about 40 kW would be needed, so NASA would likely send four to five of the (10 kW) reactors to the planet’s surface.”

    Perhaps something you should keep in mind. Building a small, 10kW output unit using 4 or 5 3KW NGU devices, with some of the 12kW to 15kw used for environmental control and internal control, theoretically, should be trivial.

    Whether on Mars, or beyond, solar power will not work because the solar illumination level is too low and the transportation cost is too high. A power source with nuclear energy density is needed.

    The Spacex Starship will transport 100 tons (or more) to Mars. How many 3 kW NGU units could be transported within the 100-ton payload limit?

    Dear Andrea Rossi.

    “October 19 (2023) marks the last day of operations for Norway’s only coal power plant. Providing heat and electricity to Longyearbyen since 1983, the plant was also the world’s northernmost, at 78° North.

    The plant produced 11 MW electricity and 20 MW thermal heat. CO2 emissions will be halved from today’s 70,00o tons annually with the transfer from coal to diesel. The cut equals emissions from about 20,000 cars.

    Locals are invited to the plant to mark the official shutdown. “This marks the end of a chapter in our history,” Svalbard Energy writes in the invitation.

    Environmentalists have long criticized Norway for mining coal and running a coal power plant at Svalbard as the Arctic is warming in times of climate crisis.

    Coal means more to Longyearbyen than just being a source of local energy. The town was established, and named after, John Munro Longyear, whose Arctic Coal Company started mining there in 1906. The Norwegians took over the mining in 1916 and coal was the cornerstone of Norway’s activities at Svalbard until the 1990s when tourism and science started to grow.”

    Could not eCat technology be employed here? Generating 33 MW of electricity – 11 MW for electrical needs, and 22 MW for heating, should easily be within your capabilities.

I congratulate you for your solution and I wonder then if in the case of applications furniture, can electrical conduction with water be sufficient for a boat (the hull if it is metal or a small immersed chain if it is plastic) or sliding contact with conductive rubber as was used many years ago to discharge electrostatic charges in cars?

    In ‘2024-09-02 13:27’ Zimmermann writes :-
    ‘I would not like it to pay 30,000 Euro for integral ecat and cannot use it at home.’

    The solution that Zimmermann suggests is ‘… if it is loaded you can carry the ecat into the house and use it there’. The better solution is VtoH or VtoG as described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-grid. Such portable ecats in a car or in a house would be insecure and vulnerable to theft. There is an insurance aspect as well.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    An agricultural tractor comes in several power variants – from 25hp to 85hp *roughly 20kW to 70kW).

    During certain times of the year, they are used for long hours per day, but mostly are unused during the reminder of the year.

    How about an electric farm tractor with a removable eCat power suitcase. During the busy times, the suitcase powers the tractor. The other times, the suitcase powers the farmer’s house and other fixed needs. During the “busy” times, the farmer relies on grid power to supplement his electrical needs.

    In summary – electric tractor will last longer, decrease the farm’s annual grid electrical consumption, with possible sell-back of excess power to the Grid.

    Dr. Rossi,
    With respect to portable applications of the Ecat and “proportional mass”– to better understand its application-

    If I wanted to utilize a 1kW Ecat in a portable power station application for hiking and camping, is it your current thinking that:
    1) The proportional mass could be built into the 1kW Ecat device?
    2) The proportional mass could be built into the power station assembly that incorporates the 1kW Ecat device?
    3) No proportional mass would be needed and the end-user would be required to pound a conductive rod into the earth to provide an earth-ground for the 1kW portable power station?

    Thanks, WaltC

    Hello Mr. Rossi,
    the most easy way for car producers would be a charge plug inside of the trunk. Everytime you pause at the Autobahn or in a carport at home you can load the car with the ecat in the trunk. And if it is loaded you can carry the ecat into the house and use it there. I would not like it to pay 30,000 Euro for integral ecat and cannot use it at home.

    And people who do not drive much can use a petrol car and refuel with synthetic fuel, made with the ecat and Co2.

    @Martin

    With 10 kW, frequent drivers would have an infinite range. But it’s true that 8 hours of driving per day with a 2-hour charging break in between would be sufficient for dimentionalization.
    I’m also thinking of vacation trips through Europe.
    If a BEV can already drive slowly with 2 kW, 2 kW would probably also be sufficient. If necessary, you could still drive to the next fast charging station.

    Why is so much attention paid to an EV with 10 kW Ecat??
    In my opinion, this is very expensive and not at all profitable.
    Example:
    – 20000 km./year
    – Consumption : 14 kW./100 km. = 2800 kWh/year.
    – Cost 2800 kWh at 0.39$ = 1092$
    – Cost Ecat 10 kW = 24900$
    If you pay 24900$ to save 1092$/year, then you have to drive that Ecat for 22.8 years to save 0$ !
    An EV and its battery don’t last that long!
    The cost of 24900$ is already more than 50% of the cost of the EV !
    Who is going to actually pay for the extra cost of 10 kW Ecat?

    A much better solution is, for example, to connect 1 kW Ecat to a (micro) inverter on the grid.
    Cost 2490$
    Yield : 24 kWh/day – 8760 kWh/year.
    Together with your PV installation (if you already have one) >95% of your consumption will be free !

  88. Mats Heijkenskjold

    Mr Raffaele Bongo,

    Yes, I took the example of our first EV. It was easier to calculate with 1.5 kWh/10km. In fact the car takes a little bit more. We have another EV which consumes about 2.0 kWh/10km

    You wrote: “consumes 14 kWh at 90 km/h (56 Mph), 18 kWh at 100 km/h (62 Mph) and 25 kWh at 130 km/h (81 Mph) in normal conditions” That is not correct you also must add distance, like “kWh/10km” Or just the power in kW:s!

    For total autonomy you would need a generator with a minimum power of 33 Kw.
    Kind regards
    Raffaele

    Wilfried,

    There are several levels of complexity is charging EV.

    The most demanding level is charging while the EV is in motion. One must handle regenerative braking, EV battery system monitoring, and course EV battery system charging. Variables include speed, road inclination, load, and temperature. It is a difficult problem.

    A much lower level (easier) situation is charging while the EV is parked. Then the options are direct battery system charging (faster) or use the onboard charger (slower).

  93. Wilfried

    Dear Andrea,

    You replied to Raffaele that “this is not possible”.
    I can’t understand that at all. Do you think that the car manufacturers are not prepared to develop such a setup or do you see fundamental problems? Let’s leave aside the volume of the E-Cats. 10 KW E-CATs could certainly be packed into the trunk of a suitable car. Including recuperation, this should be sufficient for continuous urban traffic to be able to drive 24/7 and even charge the battery. My point is not that the adaptation electronics still need to be developed, because that would just be hard work and not research.

    Best Regards
    Wilfried

  94. Andrea Rossi

    Wilfried:
    You do not know the interfacing system and the connected issues, about which we cannot disclose information. I answer “it’s impossible” because it actually is. So far.

    Good dream!

    If I drive my EV which takes 1.5 kWh/10km at a speed of 90 kph. In 6.7 minutes I have driven 10 km. That means you consume 60/6.7 x 1.5 kWh in 1.0 hour = 9.0 kWh. The power to drive the car is then 9 kW!
    E-cat of 3 kW is not enough! You need 6 kW more from the battery!

    Regards

  96. Raffaele Bongo

    Hello Dr. Rossi
    If it is obvious to charge the control car to 100%, it is in my opinion: less obvious to charge the vehicle equipped with the E-Cat generator identically.
    By providing higher energy of a few kW/h more than the average consumption of the car, the E-Cat will charge the battery throughout the demonstration.
    Assuming that you leave with half the charge of a 60 Kwh battery and that the E-Cat provides 3 kWh more than the vehicle’s consumption, after 6 hours your car will end up 80% charged.
    For me, it goes beyond the dream to start at 50% and finish at 80%, it goes beyond the dream…
    All my best wishes for success in this beautiful demonstration.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    If possible, I would recommend public telemetry systems, completely sperate from your internal usage.

    This could be as simple as a SatComm Tracker for each EV. Then give the public access to the SatComm channel.

    EV telemetry is a little tricker. Maybe a separate telemetry or an internal television showing the EV dashboard.

    It sounds like you will have 3 – 5 drivers.

  100. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    On the EV eCat demonstration:
    1. Will the position (i.e., the GPS coordinates) be broadcast in real-time and available to the public?
    2. Will speed, battery SOC, and other car parameters be broadcast in real-time and available to the public?
    3. Will the event be captured for later presentation on YouTube?
    4. How long (# hours) will each driver steer the car?
    5. Is the racetrack in Italy?

  101. Andrea Rossi

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    1. I am not expert of the matter; what I can say is that the streaming will show clearly location and time

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    You Posted:
    “What counts is not the speed, but the comparison of the charge of the Ecat powered car and the same model car without the Ecat, having both cars running at the same time at the same speed and compare the charges of their batteries before and after the race: the expectation is that the car with the Ecat will have the battery full after the whole 6 hours of race, while the other will have the battery discharged after at the most 3 hours. The two cars will run always at a distance of hundreds of meters between them, to avoid either one take advantage of the air vacuum.”

    Speed does play a factor. If both cars were stationary, the difference would not exist.

    A sample estimate from a Tesla Model 3 has a power efficiency of

    kW = 0.0056 * (speed in mph)**2 + 0.1638 * speed in mph + 6.1894.

    This equation will change for other that a Tesla Model 3.

    You must select a speed for both EVs such that the non-equipped eCat EV, when initially fully charged, runs out of charge within 2 (or 3) hours, when run at a constant speed, except for any short pit stops.

    For example, if the EV you selected has a 60kW-hrs battery system capacity and you want it to fully discharge in 2 hours (for the non-equipped EV), you would an energy consumption rate of 30 kW.

    On the Tesla Model 3, that would indicate a speed of about 80 mph. So, speed does matter.

    The other suggestion I would offer is:

    1. At the end of 6 hours, when the eCat equipped EV if tested
    2. Quickly remove the eCat equipment (if this is possible)
    3. Continue the demonstration at the same conditions,
    4. Until the EV runs out of charge.
    5. Then the same measurements are performed.

    Will both vehicles have telemetry made available in real time? Such as position, speed, and SOC?

    Dear Dr. Rossi

    I totally agree with what you said to Mats Heijkenskjold and Steven N. Karels.

    considering these premises on the 2 EV Vehicles:

    1) same Brand
    2) same Model
    3) same Size in KWh of the Battery

    and considering that the only difference between the 2 EV Vehicles will be:

    4) the one “prepared” by you and your Team will contain “in addition” only the ECat Modules + the interfacing electronics between the Ecat and the EV Vehicle

    The speed with which the EV Vehicles will travel on the racetrack does not matter, but if:

    5) after 2-3 hours the Ev vehicle without Ecat having exceeded the KM foreseen by its WLTP cycle, will stop
    6) while after 6 hours the same EV vehicle with the same Size of battery in KWh will still have the battery charged…..

    the only possible explanation for this thing will be that the energy consumed to advance along the racetrack that EV vehicle with Ecat on board for 6 hours without ever stopping, will have been supplied, only and exclusively, from Ecat!!!

    If I understand correctly:

    7) the selected racetrack will allow you to always have the 2 EV vehicles “in sight” while they travel on it
    8) the change of drivers at the wheel of the Vehicle with Ecat on board will last a few seconds and will be done in a “specially chosen” area so that everything is perfectly “visible”.
    9) The Ecat and the control electronics will be easily identifiable inside the EV Vehicle “prepared” by you and your Team

    in addition, the verification:

    A) of the “size” of the battery of the 2 EV vehicles
    B) of the SoC at the start of the 2 EV vehicles
    C) of the SoC at the arrival of the EV Vehicle with Ecat
    D) of the SoC of the EV Vehicle without ECat when it stops

    10) will be done by an independent person who is an expert in the EV Vehicle Model selected for the Demonstration, with specific instrumentation for that EV vehicle

    I kindly ask you to confirm or deny these “suppositions/desires” of mine 😉

    If what is described above were actually verified in your demonstration I absolutely agree with you that the speed with which the 2 EV vehicles will travel on the racetrack is NOT “absolutely” important!!! 😉

    I thank you in advance for the answers/confirmations/denials that you will want to give me.

    The speed you metioned is not normal for EV:s! Normal speeds are much lower, main roads 70 – 120 kmph.

  137. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Facts:
    1. Normal (non-equipped) EV will stop after 2 hours.
    2. Test will last for 6 hours.
    3. Driving faster than normal will decrease overall range.

    Assumptions
    1. Present EVs have a battery range around 250 to 300 miles on a single charge, at normal speeds.

    Assertions:
    1. Average speed will likely be between 90 and 120 mph.
    2. This will cause the non-equipped EV to run out of battery charge in about two hours.

    Suggestions/Questions:
    1. It is not important for the text demonstration to have the equipped EV end with 100% SOC.
    2. It might be safer to end up with an 80% to 90% SOC on the equipped EV (and more believable).
    3. Do you plan a crew change during the 6-hour run?
    4. If a pit stop is planned, how long?

  143. Dear Andrea I am sure that the size you have chosen of 3kW of your generator is the most appropriate for mass production. The application possibilities are endless, as an off the grid recharger or battery replacement, from small vehicles on land, water and air (mopeds, outboards and electric drones) to more or less humanoid robots (Optimus and Figure 02 have on board 3 kW approximately) not to mention all the portable power tools. In homes, one or more 3 kW modules coupled with 220 V AC inverters cover the needs of any family. I am writing these obvious things to you only to confirm that associating the next demonstration of the electric machine with your own 3 kW unit, with a 220 V AC inverter, which powers some household devices (electric stoves, induction plates that boil water, electric drills, panels bright with many lamps and so on) is an excellent idea. I think the public and journalists will be very interested in these applications in the “long” wait for the completion of the durability comparison between the two electric cars, one with and one without your charger. And it’s also a safety alternative in the unfortunate event that something goes wrong with cars, even if it’s not related to your generator.

    According to your answer to Mr. Corneille it is no problem for an ecat to work with an electric heater.
    So why you do not publish a video to this topic?

    Dear Andrea Rossi.

    Residential Home – EV Commute Analysis

    The Average USA Residential home consumes 29 kW-hrs of electricity per day.
    The average maximum commute (one-way) is 45 minutes.

    Assume a one-way commute distance of 45 miles.
    Also assume an EV efficiency of 0.25 kW/mile.
    The daily of 90 miles consumes 22.5 kW of energy.

    Adding an EV charger to the residential home means a daily energy consumption of about 52 kW-hrs.
    The average power requirement is 52 kW-hrs/24 hrs = 2.2 kW.

    Assume use of 25 100W 12VDC NGU devices connected in serial to produces 2.5 kW, 300VDC @ 8.33 Amps.
    Add one EG4 18KPS-12V hybrid inverter with two each Wall Mount batteries, each with 280 Ah @ 51.2V capacity.
    Of the approximately 60 kW–hrs produced per day, the excess 8 kW-hrs will be sent to the electrical grid.

    Cost
    The cost of the NGU devices is estimated to be $6,250 USD.
    The cost of the EG4 inverter with two battery systems is $11,790 USD.
    Estimate the total cost to install is $20,000 USD.

    Assuming a monthly electrical bill avoidance of $300 USD, the proposed system will pay for itself in about 66 months or 5.5 years.

    This likely less expensive than an EV NGU onboard charging system.

    For the EV demonstration,

    1. Will you be comparing the performance of an EV charged by an E-Cat against the performance of the same EV model with a battery charged in the standard way?
    2. Will they both have the same model battery?

    Hello Dr. Rossi!
    The situation is there:
    Due to the deliberate destruction of infrastructure such as the power supply in Ukraine, there is a need for e-cat!
    I will also soon need an energy source such as the e-cat in the kW range due to a major renovation.
    My urgent advice is therefore to use e-cat for domestic use before using it in vehicles.
    I hope you have good efficiency.

    Good morning Doctor Rossi
    Campers are usually equipped with a photovoltaic panel that recharges one or two lithium batteries.
    Inside the campers there are both 12 volt and 220 volt (inverter) sockets for various uses.
    The refrigerator is usually bivalent (12-220) or trivalent (also gas).
    However, there is (externally) a 220 volt connection to connect the camper in the rest areas, this allows you to recharge the batteries and manage all electricity consumption.
    In your opinion, can a 1 or 2 KW Ecat replace the solar panel or can it be connected directly to the external 220 volt input?
    Good day

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    The “complex interface” needed to allow an external e-cat to charge an EV overnight would be of huge benefit to those people who reside in apartments and condos. Do you plan to sell the required “complex interface” along with the e-cat upon request? Does this interface need to be custom made for each car manufacture? Or can you team make a universal “custom interface” in the near future?

    Looking forward to you EV demo.

    Some questions about the complex interface you have developed for the EV, if you don’t mind.

    1) Is this interface necessary for the charging of all EV batteries?
    2) Does this interface need to be different for different brands of EV batteries?
    3) Is this interface necessary for charging non-EV batteries (e.g. phones, computers)

    Dear Dr. Rossi

    I haven’t contributed to his blog for a long time.

    Obviously I follow his “evolutions” in the development of his E-Cat which has now reached the NGU version daily on http://www.rossilivecat.com/ and Jonp.

    I know that in the short term he has planned 2 demos and from his answers on JoNP I understood this (I ask you to confirm if possible):

    1) The first, called E-Cat EV, and planned for October, envisages that a “substantial” array of Ecat NGUs will be interconnected with specifically designed and particularly advanced electronics to a Full Electric vehicle. This interconnection has the purpose of recharging the battery of the EV Vehicle while driving. This “challenging” development has been carried out by you and your Team and the demo in question will aim to demonstrate that the EV Vehicle can travel, without ever stopping, the track of a racetrack specially selected to “record and document” the extraordinary nature of what you and your team were able to do. Can you kindly confirm?

    2) The Second, still to be planned and the main details of which are not yet known (so I’m imagining), which has the aim of demonstrating that by integrating another application under development into a “Solar System”, on a E-Cat NGU, it will be possible to “multiply” the performance of the Solar System itself. (during the day by adding the production of the solar system to that of the E-Cat NGUs, at night making the solar system produce even in the absence of sun 😉 ). Can you kindly confirm?

    What has just been written is not the “main” reason for my intervention, but I took advantage of it, if you want to respond, to have confirmation from you of what I have more or less understood by reading your answers given to date.

    I therefore thank you in advance for your willingness to respond.

    Let’s get to the main reason that pushed me to write to you…..

    I have seen that in the last 2 days your readers, imagining the “gigantic effort” that you and your team have made to integrate the E-Cat NGU inside an EV vehicle and therefore with the vehicle in motion (the on-board electronics of any EV vehicle do not allow the insertion of “additional modules”, nor integration with “energy systems” unrelated to the vehicle itself), they asked you direct questions about the possibility of using E-Cat NGU arrays, appropriately adapted, to recharge an EV vehicle when stationary, i.e. using the standard connections and interfaces with which all EV vehicles are equipped for charging.

    One type of these charging systems is called Wallbox.

    The question is legitimate since the integration of the E-Cat NGU to recharge the battery of a moving Electric Vehicle is “an order of magnitude more complex” (therefore much more difficult to achieve) compared to the creation of a “E-Cat Wallbox”.

    Obviously only you know the technical characteristics of the E-Cat NGU and therefore the problems to overcome to achieve what other readers have asked you and what I am trying to ask you now :).

    The integration that you and your team have created with the EV vehicle, for charging the battery while the vehicle is moving, is something “amazing” as well as very complex, and obviously we are all eager to “be able to admire”, in October, this WONDER, thanks to the demonstration it is creating…..

    Having said this, I’ll try to go a little further and ask the question that prompted me to send you this post:

    3) It is no coincidence that, given the challenges he had to face to create the demo of the E-Cat EV, he has actually already tackled the study and development of the “E-Cat Wallbox” which on paper should be simpler (obviously, I speak “by sensation” not knowing the complexity and technical characteristics of the E-Cat NGU) and therefore with his answers to us readers he was trying to “keep the secret” as he would have announced the existence of this “prototype/product” directly at the “E-Cat EV” demonstration in October?

    I’m sorry if I was “too invasive” with this intervention, and I sincerely hope I have been “well interpreted”.

    the answers you have given in these last hours have certainly worried us readers a little and therefore I preferred to “go straight to the point” and ask you the direct question….

    4) Is it possible to imagine that a “prototype” of the “E-Cat Wallbox” could also be presented at the E-Cat EV Demos in October?

    as anticipated, I sincerely hope that I have not been too “invasive and bold” with my questions and I thank you if you want to answer

    Dear Dr. Rossi!
    Due to the murder of Amy Eskridge, I would like to point out how important it is to secure scientific findings in many places in the event of a sudden death (or alleged suicide), including in foreign countries. In addition, these should then be made known unconditionally to the public/all important and competing state leaders. There is no better life insurance!
    It is equally important not only to leave the country at the first threat, but also to leave the entire political sphere of influence in which these secret services have access.

    I wish the best for your invention!

    Yours sincerely

  214. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    EVs, by the nature, are designed to accept electrical power from charging stations. Otherwise, they would not function after the EV battery system is depleted.

    So, an EV can accept power from a compatible charging system. There are two “flavors” of EV charging systems: AC and DC. The AC systems use the EV’s onboard charger to convert the AC power to battery power. They provide slow charging rates. Some of the larger charging stations use direct DC power for fast charging. Here, the EV onboard converter is bypassed when using a direct DC charging station. The logic within the EV handles the different charging modes.

    What I had suggested was for residential charging, where the Wall Unit is normally powered by grid power, that NGU devices, coupled with an appropriate inverter, could provide the power to the Wall Unit. Nothing more.

  215. Andrea Rossi

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    You are right: a normal EV can be recharged from the grid, as well as from a column, but not from the Ecat, unless we put a complex interface: this is a fa
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  216. Mats Heijkenskjold

    Dear Andrea again,

    Ok, I fully understand what you and Karels discussed earlier about the EVs and ecats.

    Sorry but I am talking about an EV which is parked connected to 240V AC 1-phase charging, may be limited to low current for instance 6A. WHy is this application different from what you said in your answer: ” I did absolutely NOT say that you cannot put Ecats in series, and as well in parallels to power general appliances, electric motors etc !”.

    Best regards and hope you will succeed!

  218. Mats Heijkenskjold

    Dear Andrea,

    Ok, thank you for the answer!

    Sorry I am a little puzzled, that means you can´t use the ecats in series for other puposes, for instance to power a heat pump via an inverter. I have intended to use them that way, it is a pity!

    Best regards,

    Mats Heijkenskjold

  219. Andrea Rossi

    Mats Heijkenskjold:
    Probably we have a reciprocal misunderstanding, and I am sorry for that: I did absolutely NOT say that you cannot put Ecats in series, and as well in parallels to power general appliances, electric motors etc !
    What I said answering my friend Steven Nicholes Karels is that in the EVs the situation is completely different, because the car manufacturers adopt systems to forbid the application of systems that are not specifically engineered by them. In fact, they cancel all the guarantees and certifications if their customer tries to modify the power system. Our Team spent more than one year to resolve all the problems deriving from this “rejecting” system. I hope now you can understand.

    I have 2 EV:s one with 240V AC 1-phase charging and the other 400V AC 3-phase.

    I don´t understand why it is not possible to use the idea of above cited from Steven Karels for the 240V AC 1-phase? It should be the normal use, more or less, for an e-cat in series connection.

  224. Caro Andrea Rossi
    Attualmente il problema è la ricarica delle batterie con l’auto in funzione o è stato risolto.
    Se è questo il punto, ecco come vedo una delle soluzioni.
    Dividi la batteria dell’auto in due A e B, essendo cariche L’E-cat montato per la ricarica è attualmente disattivato.
    Auto in movimento.
    Inizialmente l’auto funzionerà solo con la batteria A quando questa sarà scarica, il circuito di controllo , commuterà istantaneamente sulla batteria B
    mentre la batteria A staccata, verrà commutata al E-Cat per la ricarica.
    A macchina spenta, alternativamente verranno ricaricate entrambe AeB..
    Per sicurezza sarebbe opportuno montare due E-Cat e usarli alternativamente in modo da controllare il loro corretto funzionamento.
    Saluti e buon lavoro.

    Suggestions how to recharge the ERV battery during the motion

    Erasmo Bardelli:
    Thank you for your suggestions, but we already resolved the very complex problem, otherwise we couldn’t make the demo; the issue put by Steven N. Karels is another: is the system invented to interface the Ecat with the EV battery necessary also to recharge the EV battery while the EV is not turned on? The answer has been YES.

  226. Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    “Steven Nicholes Karels:
    It does not work that way; to recharge the EV battery even if the EV is not turned on, there is the same necessity of interfacing.”

    The point I was trying to make is that:
    1. A sufficient number of NGU devices could be connected,
    2. To run an inverter, which in turn, produces AC power,
    3. Which powers an EV Wall Mount,
    4. Which charges an EV while it is parked.

    But it would be much more desirable for an onboard unit to charge while the EV is operating.

    “Even if the EV is not turned on, still it would be necessary the interfacing system”

    You could configure the NGU devices to be like an EV charging station. Plug into the EV Charging port in compliance with the appropriate EV specification.

    But an onboard unit is much more desirable.

    Joseph Fine,

    Thanks for the reply. I was off by a factor of 100 as I missed the %.

    An on/off switch is not required. A control can activate/deactivate each unit.

    To reach 5 Sigma will require a great number of NGU test units and/or a very long time.

  240. Joseph Fine

    Steven Nicholes Karels

    If a .00003% probability is the 5 Sigma threshold, that is a failure criteria of 3 * 10^(-7) or 3 parts in 10 million. That might mean that 10 million E-cats should have 3 or fewer problems during a warranty period.

    Cycling a single E-CAT NGU on and off 3.333 million times (or 10 E-CATS cycling for 333,333 times) may break the on/off switches, but is hardly the best test of the E-Cats themselves.

    But there would have to be far fewer than ’60’ failures in 1,000,000 units. ( Maybe that’s acceptable for the switches! )

    Anyway, that’s just my opinion.

    Regards,

    Joseph Fine

    5 Sigma Testing Question

    Would a valid way of test NGU devices be:

    1. An ensemble of NGU devices, say 10.
    2. Each device is tested in the same manner.
    3. Start with an Off condition, turn on, wait a fixed number of seconds until the output is stable,
    4. If the output is within specified parameters, score as a success, otherwise a failure.
    5. Turn of the NGU device.
    6. Repeat the sequence for a total of 1,000,000 observations for ensemble.
    7. If the number of failures is less than 60, declare 5 Sigma success.

    For more information on Five-Sigma or Sigma-Five, see: https://home.cern/resources/faqs/five-sigma.

    It’s the Gaussian probability distribution.

    ” A result that has a statistical significance of five sigma means the almost certain likelihood that a bump in the data is caused by a new phenomenon, rather than a statistical fluctuation. Scientists calculate this by measuring the signal against the expected fluctuations in the background noise across the whole range. For some results, whose anomalies could lie in either direction above or below the expected value, a significance of five sigma is the 0.00006% chance the data is fluctuation. ( or a 0.00003% likelihood of a statistical fluctuation, that exceeds the five-sigma value on one half of the normal distribution graph). “

    Mathfan,

    When you roll a six-sided die from a pair of dice, the probability of getting a ‘3’ (or a 5 etc.) is 1/6 (0.1666). If you roll the same die 5 times, the probability of getting the same number is (1/6)^5 = .0001286 . That is about 128 times out of 1 million. When 1 million e-cats have been delivered, no one would want 128 problems.

    The Sigma 5 test must be more stringent than 128 examples out of a million.

    Statistical regards,

    @/P
    The concept of Sigma 5 is this: assume you throw a dice: if one of the 6 numbers, for example 3, wins one time, it is normal = Sigma 1 probability, if exits 2 times, it is almost normal = Sigma 2, 3 times rare = Sigma 3, 4 times very rare = Sigma 4, 5 times impossible = Sigma 5: it means all the faces are equal = 3. In the case of the Ecat tests, means that successful operation is always possible after enough number of tests to exhaust any possibility of unsuccessful event.

    Dear Mr Rossi,
    I have a question regarding your sigma 5 tests. What kind of event/phenomenon are you measuring that should result in 99.9999% probability?
    Best regards

    Sorry, it regards series of factors that are confidential, although this allows to imagine the series of difficulties we had to overcome.
