1. Is the control system inside the box?
2. Is the heat exchanger inside the box?
3. Is the box sealed? If so, will opening it prevent it from working?
4. When you replace the box at the end of the E-Cats’ useful life, will you recycle the old box, or dispose of it?
Dear Andrea, I have just been investigating ‘ultraviolet catastrophe’ on the Wikipedia site which I found most interesting and which mentioned an unpublished law of Stokes and the ‘photoelectric effect’. This I believe could be of interest to both yourself and Carl if you are unaware of this effect with regards to light. However my own thoughts regarding light is that it is a transfer of a vibration and that dependent upon the vibration it is able to entangle, isolate or dislodge with regards an electron/electrons, dependent upon the configuration of the electron/electrons involved and as mentioned earlier I believe magnetic fields resonate due to being on an event horizon.

Dear Dr Rossi,
I am following your work years since and I can’t wait your revolutionary product.
Question: how long can the Ecat QX remain shut down without losing power and efficiency?
Don Gillmer:
We had an attack from some hacker and the security system has disconnected all, but our IT guy has ripristinated the service.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Jim Rosenburg:
When I write “module” means that it is a fundamental component, not made with smaller modules. A “reactor” can either be a module itself, or an assembly of modules. This for the semanthics.
In substance, we can make a 10 or 100 or 1000 kW plant made by modules of 1 kW, or modules of 80 W, or we can try, as we are, to realize fundamental reactors – which means modules- of higher power, like 10 or 100 kW. Whereas the assembly of smaller modules option has already been achieved, this is not yet true for bigger modules.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dr Rossi:
there seems to be confusion over the terme reactor and reactor module. Are the 10 kW and 100 kW configurations comprised of 80 W modules?
Thank you,
Jimr
Robert:
First: the Ecat can compete in almost every field of application.
Second: to start from exotic applications would be an error, because this strategy could put the Ecat in a ghetto. I am not saying that exotic applications are wrong, I am just saying that the Ecat must be launched in the core of the mass market, then can be diffused also at the edges of the market.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
The Ecat could be employed in exotic situations where normal generators of heat are of difficult deployment, like for example to make air conditioned in a desert village.
Why don’t you start from these particular situations where the Ecat has more competitivity?
Raffaele Bongo:
In our case the shielding is light, because we do not use radioactive materials and our radiations are not ionizing, due to the low energy inside our Ecat.
In all the experiments we made ( tens of thousand hours now, with me as the Guinea pig ), we never found ionizing radiations exit the Ecats.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Steven N.Karels:
To shield an operating reactor like the one proposed by LM you need tons of lead with at least three zeros… the ionizing radiations exiting from there would be in the range of MeVs, not to mention what could happen in case of an accidental fall of the aircraft. Think to the fun about permissions and certifications from all the Countries such aircraft is supposed to fly the skies of, manned or unmanned as it might be.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
In your post to Domenico Canino, you dismissed hot fusion for aircraft, presumably because of the weight of shielding. Your exclusion assumes manned aircraft. UAV (unmanned aircraft vehicles) might be able to use that technology although I think eCat technology would be a better choice. Please keep up the R&D.
I understand that your technology is evolving exponentially. It is difficult for you to imagine today what will be the definitive characteristics of the E-Cat 1 MW. There is still a trend that is emerging. It was probably less bulky and lighter.
Do you have an idea of the shielding weight / total weight ratio and the power per unit mass and volume of the E-Cat boiler?
Tough wishes for success and all the best for your team
Domenico Canino:
This patent is related to a hot fusion classic application, nothing new there, apart the small dimensions. The patent covers some particulars, not the core of the process, that is well known.
It is a hot nuclear fusion reactor that would work at millions Celsius degrees, using highly radioactive fuel that does not exist in nature and is produced by nuclear reactors after decay of Uranium 235 and Plutonium.
The very weak point consists in the impossibility to harness the plasma produced by nuclear fusion by means of a magnetic shielding: this confinement has been impossible so far in big reactors- that every 10 years get 10 years delays 70 years since – therefore it will be by orders of magnitude more difficult to be obtained in small reactors like this. It was foreseen ten years ago to become a working prototype by the year 2019, now delayed ten years, so it appears to me that its destiny will be an endless series of delays, getting along with the tradition of hot fusion.
To light up this device is extremely dangerous and the emission of strong ionizing radiation will require many tonns of lead all around, for example a PET positron accelerator used in hospitals, that is by orders of magnitude less powerful, needs about 20 tonns of lead as a shielding, so the perspective to use this hot fusion reactor in an aeroplane or in a vehicle is ludicrous. Good for funding, though.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Gennady:
Not yet, but it is realistic to assume that the model shown in Stockholm on November 24th will be the 1 kW module dimensional point of reference.

I hope you as your team had a very good Easter. It seems to me you gave been working very hard with huge progress from a he start of this year.
I while a go you I think you replied to me that it might be possible to run the Ecat QX at say 20% of power for may be 5 times as long. Is this correct?
If so is this possible also for the higher powered Ecat SK’s?
If so this could be interesting I think for suppplying a stingle maybe complete fully self contained package for say for 5 years operation.
I wonder if that could help witg the domestic boiler certifications at least with the initial units.
Most boilers need to be replaced after say 10 years due to parts wearing out, obsolescence of equipment and expertise, or new technology developments.
May be a complete tamper proof unit tgat lasts 10 years with out replacements would fit very well with that time frame.
Perhaps such a unit could safely be made in a self contained tamperproof way that meets the immediate concerns of the certification bodies.
On a separate point regarding your testing with Carl Oscar Gulstrom. May I ask:
1. How this testing is progressing?
2. Has this testing results or test method itself led to insights that helped you develop the E-catQX?
3 did this testing also give give insights that led Ecat SK?
Looking forward to what comes up this year both the science and the devices production
It is great to see your progress toward the industrialization stage of eCat. As you getting closer, have you settled yet the dimensions of various units? What will 1 KW, 10 KW, 20 KW, 1 MW units be in terms of (L x W x H)?
Dr Mike:
We are working very hard to arrive to sell an industrialized product this year. I am not sure we will succeed, but the effort is brutal under every point of view and very risky too.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dr. Rossi,
I believe achieving 1KW of power with 13 E-Cat QX’s in a box the size of the one used in the Stockholm demonstration is extremely encouraging. Congratulations on your and your team’s progress!
Dr. Mike
Dear Dr. Rossi,
It was certainly good to hear that the output power of an individual E-Cat QX device has been increased from 20W to 80W. What calorimetry method did you use to measure this higher output power? Did you measure the output power using a water flow rate and delta temperature as was done in the Stockholm demonstration? How many E-Cat QX devices were used in the output power measurement?
Dr. Mike
Dear Andrea Rossi,

Dear Andrea,
Regarding the 1 kW modules:
1. Is the control system inside the box?
2. Is the heat exchanger inside the box?
3. Is the box sealed? If so, will opening it prevent it from working?
4. When you replace the box at the end of the E-Cats’ useful life, will you recycle the old box, or dispose of it?
Thank you and best wishes,

Is a better theoretical understanding at the base of the impressive progress of the Ecat QX?
Dear Andrea Rossi,
I suspect the increase in output power is likely due to the following two areas:
a. Better control understanding and implementation. Correct?
b. Better thermal transfer (so the delta temperature is about the same). Correct?
