Abstract
During Ni-H collisions, proton (of the hydrogen atom) combines with the Nickel nucleus and electron (of the hydrogen atom) combines with the Nickel electronic shell and forms Copper with no emission of alpha or beta or gamma rays.
or mole number of such Ni-H atomic fusions, as hydrogen atom is losing its identity, binding energy of electron is converted into heat energy of ~1.3×106 joules.
As the temperature of the system increases, more number of hydrogen atoms may fuse with more number of Nickel atoms liberating more heat energy.
Selection of the target cold fusion atom seems to follow the condition: selected stable atom’s Z+1 is a new stable element with odd atomic number.
Fineness of the Ni powder may help H atoms to fuse with ease causing more number of Ni-H fusions.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Based on your response, I gather the 1MW eCat line and the eCat X line will be independent. Each line will grow and be modified as the market dictates. This assumes:
a. You have sufficient manufacturing capabilities to independently produce each line to the level the market requires.
b. Both lines generate sufficient profit margins to warrant their continuation.
Toussaint:
No, absolutely: the 1 MW E-Cat and the E-Cat X are two completely different things, to be manufactured independently. F9.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear andrea Rossi
I hope that the rebuilt of the ECAT X will be strong and durable.
Does the development of the ECAT X will retard the commercialisation of
the megawatt plant after the one year test?
Kind regards

The current grid structures have Extra high voltage (EHV), high voltage (HV), medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) grids. Having the E-cat generating electricity at localized points of demand will render EHV, HV, and MV grids useless and redundant. All we need is a thin LV grids for sharing the loads at low voltage locally. So the effect is still profound and immediate once Andrea roll his e-CATS out. Same thing will happen if you have Tesla powerwall/powerpack + Rooftop solar (getting cheaper and cheaper) but Andrea’s e-CAT will be much more competitive in all aspects.

I am not a rumorist and I am spamming the B.S. I am receiving on the matter. The relationship between Industrial Heat and Leonardo Corporation is perfect as always and my work with my great Team grows up in harmony. I will spam all the next comments that will arrive on the matter, because there is no reason to talk about B.S.
Warm Regards,

It seems the grids will probably be around longer than I had first envisioned. If your new E-Cats can produce more electricity than is necessary for a single household, selling this excess energy back to the grids might be an option. Here in NC, the power companies are required to buy it if you have it in the approved configuration.
The first E-Cat powered folks will be able to take advantage of this. As more try to get on this bandwagon, the practice will be discouraged. But, by then the acceptance of E-Cats will be more universal, and the practice of getting off the grids will foment, and coincide with, their eventual demise.”

Now it’s 08.05 p.m. inside the plant, it is working stable: I am working here with my great Team. The E-Cat X is in re-construction and I am convinced we have resolved the problem. If God wants, we should be close …it is very promising.
Warm Regards.
A.R.
Dear Andrea,
How are things inside the container at the moment? Are you rebuilding the E-Cat X, how is the 1MW plant behaving?
Many thanks,
Frank Acland
Dr Andrea Rossi:
There are many rumors regarding your relationship with Industrial Heat: can you explain how is now your relationship with your American Licensee , to dissipate the rumors or give information about them?
For the good of all, we hope you are working well with what you always called your “great team”.
Cheers,
Lakisha

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Can you discuss some of the differences between the older eCat and the newer eCat-X?
1. Fuel composition – same or changed/improved?
2. Size – same, smaller, larger?
3. Output level?
4. Control subsystem – same or different?
Dr Joseph Fine:
I missed it! Thank you very much, very useful.

Hi Andrea. I very much enjoyed your joint paper with Norman Cook On the Nuclear Mechanisms Underlying the Heat Production by the E-Cat that you published in April this year. It was a great joint work. I was so impressed by Normans method for visualising and explaining the physical phenomena in the atomic nucleus that I brought his book straight after. I should read it again soon.
Norman Cook is very intersting man too I should read his other books some day my wife is a linguist who studied emotion in speech and I just found out he even has a book touching on that subject that’s amazing.
Warm Regards to all of you
Stephen
Andrea Rossi and Readers,
Lo and behold, there is a second edition to “Quantum Tunneling”. There is a high probability that there is new information in this latest version.

Paul:
The exclusion principle of Pauli bars two atoms to occupy the exact same space with the exact momentum, whatever the resonant frequency and the period.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Paul:
I cannot comment on this issue, either in positive or in negative.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Would not nickel loaded with interstitial hydrogen atoms have a higher spring constant and thus higher resonant frequencies than unloaded nickel?
(Think hydrogen embrittlement.)
Paul
Andrea,
If two atoms periodically occupy the exact same space with the exact same momentum at a very high resonant frequency, would Heisenberg’s Uncertainty principle allow components of one nucleus to tunnel through time into the other nucleus?
Paul
Stephen:
Thank you for your comment: I agree with you. Did you read also”Models of the Atomic Nucleus” of Norman Cook ? I think is the base to start from.
Warm Regards
A.R.
Thanks for the reference to the Quantum Theory on tunnelling by Mohsen Razavy. It’s amazing to me how there is always more to read and always more to learn, there is always another layer and always more to discover. This book is another one of those for me. I start to feel a little humble in what I don’t know but also a little excited about it.
This year I have enjoyed and look forward to reading your posts daily and it gives me great hope thinking about the potential. I wish you and your team all the best for the tests and developments in the coming months and years ahead.
Robert Curto:
You already gave instructions to find on Google what are synchrophasors: a system that will allow to the operators to have data related to voltage and frequency in different locations to optimize the distribution at the due time in the due location. What the consequences on the E-Cat? Soon to be said, but a more intelligent power distribution system will affect positively any kind of energy source.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

Andrea Rossi and Readers,
Here is an online copy of Quantum Theory of Tunneling by Mohsen Razavy U. of Alberta (2003).

To the Readers:
I am studying this very interesting book, that I suggest to all our Readers that are trying to find theoretical bases for LENR. I think it contains important mathematical bases, worth to be studied with great attention, in particular for the equations of the chapters 2,3,4,5.
The book is:
“Quantum Theory of Tunnelling”, by Moshen Razavy , University of Alberta ( Canada), Singapore 2003.

Frank Acland:
Yes. That’s what the R&D is made for. F9 copied.
Warm Regards,

Italo R.:
I cannot give the technical data related to the performance of the E-Cat X before the R&D will be completed. We are still in a preliminar phase to reach the reliability of the device.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Dr. Rossi,
will the E-Cat-X produce both heat and electricity ?
Since the total power I think is constant, removing electricity will reduce the amount of usable heat. Is it right?
Kind Regards,
Italo R.
Dear Andrea,
You have mentioned that over the course of running the 1 MW plant you have made various repairs and corrections, and I am sure you have gathered valuable information from all you have done on the plant.Right now you have your team on hand 24/7 to fix problems as they happen, but this will not be possible in the broad marketplace.
At the point these plants go into production (F9), do you think you will have been able to make modifications that will prevent the problems you have had to deal with from reoccurring?
Many thanks,
Frank Acland
Herb Gillis:
Thank you for the very interesting link. Good luck to the inventors: obviously “diamonds from the sky” is a hyperbole: what they get from carbon dioxide are C-nanofibers, not diamonds. It’s a shame, though: I had prepared the reverse umbrella already…
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Andrea Rossi:
This looks like a perfect application for Ecat technology:

Frank Acland:
No, because when we make a new material we think also how to industrialize it and how much it costs in view of mass production.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea,
It sounds like putting the E-Cat X into production will also require the manufacturing of this new material in significant amounts, if you are planning for large scale manufacturing. Do you see this as a big challenge?
Many thanks,
Frank Acland

Gerard McEk:
As I said, to repair the reactors and other parts of the plant now and again is the normality here, due to the fact that this is the first industrial real application of LENR in the History of technology.
We will start up the new E-Cat X probably at the end of the next week, because we have to produce a new material that does not exist in commerce to resolve the problem that popped out.
This attitude to make materials that do not exist is a legacy of a visit I made in the NASA concern od Huntsville, Alabama, during a meeting with their scientists: I saw their laboratory where they told me they make things that do not exist in commerce, because they have particular problems that cannot be resolved with the existing materials. I thought ” This is exactly the kind of lab I need”.
The technological characteristics of the E-Cat X will be published when the R&D on it will have been completed, and at that point will also be explained why it is more fit for household applications.
Thank you for your kind words,
Warm Regards,
A.R.

Can you describe in three words what are elementary particles in quantum mechanics?
There is a quest with friends of mine, help me to win.

Dear Dr. Rossi,
It seems that there is a new hardening technique for metallic products (cheaper, greener and better) that maybe could be useful for improving your devices.

Dear Andrea,
Sorry to hear that you had troubles with one of the reactors of the 1 MW plant. I hope you were able to repare it? Did it take a lot of time?
You also said the E-cat X was broken. When do you expect to startup the modified one?
I was also wondering why you think paticulary that very hot reactor can be introduced in the domestic world quickly. Can you explain that? When you talk about direct electricity production are you talking about watts or is it in excess of that?
Good luck with all your work, keep healthy and thank you for answering.
Gerard.

Gian Luca:
Absolutely not!
Oil price has always been a roller coaster wagon, depending on infinite factors: for example now the fracking oil and gas discovered in the USA in enormous deposits has lowered the price, together with a decrease of a hydrocarbons consume caused by lower levels of industrial production in the last 3 years in all the world.

Wich is your opinions?
Is it possible to relation with LENR?
Thanks
Dr. Rossi: Do you consider the ongoing test with customer to also be radiation safety proof, that will help in the certification process, since you and your team will have worked in close contact with the E-Cats for over a year?

Sorry, I cannot comment.

Dear Andrea,
When refering to the E-Cat X, should those of us who write articles about this technology call it a Nickel-Hydrogen based reactor any longer?
The Rossi Cook Paper gave a bold defintion of the E-Cat, calling it a Ni-LiAlH4 system. Does that definition still apply to the E-Cat X?
I guess the burning question is if this thing still contains Nickel. If not, I would advise giving it a new name all together – not just the E-Cat X.
If it uses Tungsten, I’d call it the Phoenix, because it arose from the ashes of burnt out hot cats.
Tom Conover:
1- It is too soon to answer to this: I never said we’d go for certification in October 2015 for certain
2- No, I cannot, it is under NDA
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea,
1) Do you still hope to try for the certification in October of 2015?
2) Can you share with us any comment the certification agent made recently?
(to give you and us more hope on this topic…) Thank you, and
Godspeed,
Tom

Now it is 06.45 p.m. of Sunday August 9 2015. An important date.
What I am seeing now is very, very, very good. It could be the leader for the very massive production. We will go directly from our tests to the market. If what I am seeing now goes on, in October will be tried the safety certification.
