Do you think that a phenomenon of resonance of the hydrogen ion could be at the origin of the crossing of the coulomb barrier in the Rossi effect?
Thank you if you can answer me, all my support to your team and sorry if my question is stupid because I only have a few basic notions in nuclear physics
Frank Acland:
We have now three teams I am working with:
1- industrialization in the USA
2- industrialization in Sweden
3- theory elaboration
4- Ecat SK (high power modules)
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Gian Luca:
Before the presentation of the product ready for industrialization we will not make other demos: they woudn’t make any sense.
Surely we will sell our product also in Europe.
Thank you for your kindness,

Thomas Florek:
Thank you for this precious cameo of yours.
The lesson Stephen Hawkings gave to all of us goes beyond his immense scientific work in the field of the Black Holes. His lesson has been the inspiration he gave to all of us about resiliency after personal tragedies. Nobody like him has been as resilient as he has been after confronting a the terrible illness he had to like his cross in this world, in this life. Now when we are discouraged for something we can just think about his resilience to understand that we have just to shut up and go on..
I thank you very much for your comment and for the art of your link.

Today we heard the news of Stephen Hawking’s passing. I have great admiration for his work, and also his sense of humor and humility. Stephen Hawking also wrote children’s books (with his daughter Lucy), and it was only six years ago that he declared that the greatest mystery that he wishes he could solve are “Women..they are a complete mystery.”
I spend a lot of time thinking about his assertion that time (like space) is related to matter and energy. Without matter and energy there is no time. As a result, I have given up trying to live forever, and I now am trying to take up the entire x-axis in the universe instead. 🙂
Stephen Hawking was also fond of pointing out that science is a set of questions, not answers, and that our understanding of reality changes and that some things we thought were true turn out to be more complicated (or less complicated) than we thought they were.
All of this happens on Einstein’s birthday.
Perhaps it would be great to toast, Stephen Hawking, and Einstein and everyone who is not afraid to study science because “to learn” can be courageous, especially when what we learn is not what we expect to learn.
Buon giorno Andrea,
Will there be other demonstrations or presentations (like in Stockholm) before the market starts? Given the political result of the recent elections, could Andrea Rosi review his relationship with Italy?
Would a presentation in Italy be possible?
Dear Andrea,
Brilouin has made a replication of your effect with a reactor that reproduces your Hot Cat of 2012. The report is published on EW. Are you glad or worried?
Dr Andrea Rossi,
Where are you working in this period and where the impressive progress during the aftermath of the IVA-Stockholm event has been made?
Godspeed,
Prof
Dear Andrea,
to present a product based on Ecats that works and is able to produce energy is the best thing you have to do now and very fast.
I m sure you will use the best strategy, if possible anyway i would like to make a suggestion:
on my opinion, once you demostrate the capacity to make energy you have not to work to a finished product but only on the core of the reactor and to a as cartrige recharge part and sell only it.
This give you many vantage:
You can stay focused developing your ‘creature’ increasing COP and Endurance.
You can produce milions or bilions of peaces.
Each customer can apply to it the best tools and use it in the best conditions that satisfy theyre needs, this avoid you developing a lot of produts with differents output.
Doing this you can satisfy the market in a fast way and all the world industry can grow and take opportunitys.
You can make money sooner delegating a lot of R&D to customers.
Best wishes, Giuseppe
Dr Andrea Rossi,
Your demonstration at the IVA of Stockholm has been very convincing, so I am sure that you will succeed to introduce an industrialized product by this year.
Cheers

Frank Acland:
Maybe in future, now we cannot make modifications, we have not time if we want to prioritize the presentation of the product. By the way, the gain is not relevant, due to the actual COP.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
I think that Svein Henrik made an interesting suggestion regarding using a thermoelectric device to make electricity from the E-Cat’s heat in order to drive the E-Cats, thus realizing infinite COP.
1. How feasible is this from a technological standpoint, and is it something you think you will pursue?
2. Currently, are you able to run a QX from a battery source?
But a team of MIT scientists has built a different sort of solar energy device that uses inventive engineering and advances in materials science to capture far more of the sun’s energy. The trick is to first turn sunlight into heat and then convert it back into light, but now focused within the spectrum that solar cells can use. While various researchers have been working for years on so-called solar thermophotovoltaics, the MIT device is the first one to absorb more energy than its photovoltaic cell alone, demonstrating that the approach could dramatically increase efficiency.
Dear Andrea Rossi,
I think that the suggestion of Svein Henrik to use direct current by a battery or a thermoelectric device is interesting, but you need an AC source for your particular control system, am I correct? Probably you ried to use DC power sources, but you had problems of reliability, am I correct?
Warm Regards,
DT
The following links/articles describe the insulating performance and mechanical strength of ‘Nanowood’.
It probably would not be suitable at an output temperature of 600 degrees Celsius, but perhaps may be helpful in combination with other materials for thermal insulation and or structural strength compared with other materials.
I think Nanowood may seem unusual for an E-Cat, but if it is a good insulating material, perhaps you may find a way to use it.
Best regards,
Joseph Fine
“Anisotropic, lightweight, strong, and super thermally insulating nanowood with naturally aligned nanocellulose”Nanowood exhibits anisotropic thermal properties with an extremely low thermal conductivity of 0.03 W/m·K in the transverse direction (perpendicular to the nanofibrils) and approximately two times higher thermal conductivity of 0.06 W/m·K in the axial direction due to the hierarchically aligned nanofibrils within the highly porous backbone. ”
It seems unusual that wood could be useful in an LENR device.
Dear Andrea.
The Ecat makes heat and plenty of it. As the Ecat also need a small amount of electricity from a source like a battery, why not charge the battery by solid state thermoelectric generators based on the Seebeck effect for units to be used in remote areas?
These may be built in as a part of the heat exchangers and their frames and shell. The heat of the Ecat itself will be a far more reliable source than PV elements depending of sunshine. This operation will not be more unreliable than in a car as the batteries there always are charged by the cars motor.
The COP may by this be regarded as infinity.
Regard Svein Henrik.
Dear Andrea, Regards the link put forward by Frank Ackland March 11th inst. regarding fusion. As you correctly point out fusion requires too high a heat to keep magnets stable with regards the required field. Totally unrealistic, also they say the dream of clean energy is about to become true. Must be living on mars or locked in a very dark room. All the best Eric Ashworth
Manuel Cilia:
The Ecat makes heat. The heat exchanger is a separate component whose structure depends on what the heat is for.
Thr Rankyne cycle is interesting, but has a very low efficiency, unless you raise the T, but in that case the Carnot is more efficient.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Frank Acland:
Did you note the last two lines of the article? They have to maintain stable the magnetic fields during a fusion at millions of Celsius degrees.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dr Rossi,
In the 6 minutes summary of the November 24 demo at the IVA of Stockholm there is short mention to the theory you are working on with Carl-Oscar Gullstrom, where waves and antiwaves with the same T of the reactor are formed and annihilate. Are you still working on this theory?
Thanks,
JE
I thought you might find this article from the New York Post interesting: “Scientists say the dream about unlimited clean energy is about to come true”. It is about the MIT-ENI fusion plan.
The first demonstration plant is supposed to be ready in 15 years time. I’m hoping the E-Cat will be on the market well before then, and at a much lower cost.
Will the Ecat have a heat exchanger built into it. I am looking at using an ORC generator using thermal oil rather than steam as the statutory requirements for high pressure steam generation is too strict and will make smaller systems less than 5Mw too complicated if steam is used. I rather lose efficiency and create a simpler system that will not require specialised people to run the generation system. The ORC generator I am looking at using is make by Turboden which is an Italian company, it can use thermal oil up to a temperature of 250deg. I am looking at the Ecat just as a black box that creates heat and leaving your genius to create the black box.
Jean Gluck.
The new collaboration between MIT and Eni seems to be a research for fusion power based on high-temperature superconducting magnets to hold the plasma at temperatures of millions deg. Celsius, not LENR.
Regards Svein Henrik.
Sorry Jean Gluck, by my understanding, Andrea Rossi will not be so much honorable from fierce MIT competition, after all, it seems to be another one of the same, oldie, very hot fusion radioactive prototype ready in 15 years they hope, at COP 2
Dr Rossi,
ENI has already copied your technology to turn wastes into oil, but this time they are not copying you: their agreement with the MIT is about the hot fusion, wherein the taxpayers have already payed tens of billion dollars and euro for nothing and will continue to spend billion dollars and euro for nothing. You alone are more worth than them all put together, considering that you have used not a single cent of the taxpayer. The sole guys that have made money with the hot fusion stuff are the managers of that B.S. and the politicians behind them. The consortium that is trying the hot fusion is called ITER, eventually pronounced EATER.
In this moment you are the most important mind of the world for what you are doing, don’t lose time with this B.S.
Godspeed,
Filippo
Dr Andrea Rossi,
ENI and MIT are getting public money to make the hot fusion: they are paying the trolls to discredit you, not to honour you.
I prey that you will be able to complete your “impossible invention”, as the title of Mats Lewan’s book goes.
