    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    1. When a fault or issue occurs with an industrial eCat unit, how will the status and fault information be communicated to the customer?

    2. Will the customer be able to identify a specific unit which is posting a fault/status issue?

    3. Will there be a visual indication on the specific unit (e.g., flashing red LED, visual display)?

    4. Assuming an array of eCat units, how will the customer know where the units is located (e.g., paperwork configuration, Rack, Bay and location number)?

    Dr Andrea Rossi,
    Are you also studying the self-sustaining issue, to increase its timing?

  • Juan Godboldt

    It is unbelievable the ability with which the 6 minutes summary video of the Stockholm November 24th demo has been made in a way that it contains all in a nutshell: did you make it or a specialist did?
    I mean: youtube 6 minutes video of Ecat Stockholm demonstration
    Cheers

    Sally Degeston:
    Yes, we made a due diligence about these co-generators with the Stirling engines, but we discovered that they have been taken out of production. The price was unsustainable.
    The technology is still very green.
    Warm Regards,

    Dear Dr Rossi:
    Did you collect information about the Stirling engine of the Viessmann co-generation fluid heaters? Can they be applied also to the ecats?

  • Andrea Rossi

    A Goumy:
    Good question.
    The answer is yes.
    Warm regards

    Dear Mr Rossi,

    If the control system breaks out, or communication with ECat is lost, does the ECat stop by itself?

    Best regards,

    Frank Acland:
    The control system would shut down all if the T goes above the allowed limit.
    Warm regards,

  • Frank Acland

    Dear Andrea,

    You said that the T of the E-Cat is constant, and the T of the fluid varies according to the flow. You have said the E-Cat reaches very high temperature, so what would happen if the flow was unexpectedly interrupted? Would the E-Cat overheat?

    Thank you,

    Frank Acland

    Dear Andrea
    I googled: ‘Youtube Ecat QX Stockholm presentation November 24 2017’
    Fantastic ! Thank you,

    I recall this discussion some time ago. It would be very nice, especially in some remote applications, for the eCat system to produce its own power and thus, be autonomous. The economic question then is, if grid electricity is available, whether it is more economical and to have better performance characteristics for the eCat system to create its own power or to use the grid’s power. If it can use “waste heat” to power itself, then the decision swings toward autonomous operation. If the eCat must generate its own electrical power, then it may have to do so with a Carnot cycle and the associated increases in ancillary equipment (turbine, electronics, etc.) and reduced system reliability. So if the primary application is heat generation, it may not make much sense to generate electrical power if it adds complexity and inefficiency. If the eCat naturally or secondarily produces electricity, then the added cost and decrease in reliability is limited to a storage subsystem (e.g., batteries) and conversion electronics. There are also safety concerns on the eCat generating the power it needs to control itself, but I view these as secondary concerns, except for certification purposes.

  • Andrea Rossi

    Raffaele Bongo:
    Thank you for your suggestion, you are right, but I must confess you that now we are strongly focused on the industrialization of the Exat to make heat, also considering that with the heat can be made electricity.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • Raffaele Bongo

    Hello A. Rossi

    Are you still doing R & D in direct electricity production or are you concentrating all your team’s efforts on developing heat production?
    It would be great if in the future the reactor could do without the external source of electricity. Can an autonomous E-Cat be considered in the future?
    All my support for your team
    Best regards

    Raffaele

  • Andrea Rossi

    Gerard McEk:
    1- the Ecat in operation
    2- yes
    3- no, because the high T makes also the low T, just increasing the fluid flow
    4- confidential
    Thank you for your kind wish,
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • Gerard McEk

    Dear Adrea,
    Just a few questions, if you allow me:
    1. If you present the Ecat QX, will you just present the ‘box’, or will you present the ‘box’ in operation?
    2. Have you already started to equip a factory for the Ecat QX?
    3. Do you still see a future for the low temperature Ecat?
    4. The way in how the QX and the cold- and hot cat are being stimulated are different, but still you remain that they both types work on the same principles. Do you believe that also somewhere inside the Cold- and Hot cat plasma’s play a role?
    I wish you and your team succes in getting the Ecat QX on the market this year!
    Kind regards, Gerard

  • Andrea Rossi

    Frank Acland:
    We are focused on all the issues connected to the presentation of the industrialized Ecat QX. Also, we are working on the development of the SK.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • Frank Acland

    Dear Andrea,

    Can you say what the main activities of your team are in these days? What are the current priorities?

    Many thanks,

  • Andrea Rossi

    Steven N. Karels:
    Exactly, I was talking of a hypothesis in case of a looking at the plasma, a case that cannot happen to a Customer,being the plasma inside the reactor.
    When we look at it in our laboratory must wear a 14 grade eye protection.
    Warm Regards
    A.R.

  • Steven N. Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    You posted “It is impossible to expose the eyes to the plasma, because it is inside the reactor: see the Stockholm video of the Ecat QX demo.”
    You also posted “It is necessary an eye protection index 14. Looking at it even for seconds can cause severe damages to the eyes.”

    These two posting seem contradictory. If the plasma is contained within the reactor and the reactor walls are opaque, then no eye protection should be needed.

    Did you mean to say that: if the plasma within the eCat reactor were, somehow, actually viewed, eye protection would be required. Since it only exists within the reactor, no eye protection is needed? Please clarify.

  • Dr. Rossi Plasma, this sounds very dangerous to me. In an accident could the plasma be exposed to unprotected eyes ?

  • Eugenio Mieli

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    I propose again an old, but always useful question: considering the many variables you must consider and consequently the difficulty in being precise in predictions, may you now make an updated schedule of upcoming major deadlines in the long road of E-Cat?

    I’m sure that on certain issues you will be forced to repeat yourself, but I think it is interesting to have an overall timing pattern that reflects your feelings today.

    Thanks,

    Eugenio

  • Steven N. Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    You posted “No. It is necessary an eye protection index 14. Looking at it even for seconds can cause severe damages to the eyes.”

    Is that because of the ultraviolet spectral content or for another reason?

  • JJ

    Dr Andrea Rossi,
    I watched the full video of your Stockholm presentation of the Ecat QX: very convincing.
    Godspeed,
    JJ

    Dr Rossi,
    May I inquire, are what point or during which period of production you expect your partner(s) to come forward and reveal themselves and their part in the future of the E-cat saga to the world at large?

    I expect that when this happens it will shake the foundations of worldwide power production and create tremendous excitement within the world finance markets.

    regards

    Dr Alexander Parkhomov produced a program that looked at all of the stable element isotopes and calculated nucleon exchange reactions and fission reactions that lead to stable products with a net energy yield.

    It took 10 days to calculate the more than 500,000 possible outcomes and their respective energy output.

    Dr. Alexander Parkhomov agreed to sharing his nucleon exchange / Fusion+Fission table which can be downloaded from the following link

    https://goo.gl/91fQVX

    A HUGE thankyou for his hard work and openness.

    He adds:

    “I believe that making it public will be useful for the development of LENR research. It is also useful to have a public program that allows the consideration of combinations of not only two nuclides, but also a larger number.”

    It the latter part of the sentence, he is recognising that the table as provided is only the first step and that knowing what a larger number of interacting nucleus would result in would be helpful. Due to the vast computational requirements akin to hash code breaking, distributed computing with a common database might be a way forward.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Your answer to Raffaele Bongo:
    “I do not choose the T: it is the T that comes out of the process as the Ecat is made now”
    Does that mean that different processes occur in module E-Cat QX 80 W and module E-Cat SK 10 kW?

    Best regards,
    Jaroslaw Bem

  • Andrea Rossi

    Raffaele Bongo:
    I do not choose the T: it is the T that comes out of the process as the Ecat is made now.
    In general, a higher T makes wider and more efficient the field of applications.

    Hello A. Rossi

    During my last message I probably mispelled my question. I was wondering what are the likely significant benefits of running the quark 1 ev against ¼ ev?

    Dr Andrea Rossi:
    Now that you have resolved the problem of the overheating of the circuitry of the Ecat QX, is the COP higher?

  • Physics Prof

    Dr Andrea Rossi,
    I watched the video of the November 24th Stockholm Ecat presentation.
    As an expert of the matter, I can confirm that your application of the Wien and Boltzmann equations to calculate the energy of the plasma in the Ecat is correct.
    Godspeed,
    Physics Prof
