    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    Considering that the 1MW E-cat test is nearing its conclusion, what according to your estimate is the probability of its results being positive?
    a)above 90%
    b)80 to 90%
    c)70 to 80%
    d)60 to 70%
    e)50 to 60%
    f)below 50%

    Kindest regards, and happy and successful New Year!

    Dear Rossi,

    What is the total down period for the eCat so far?.. where you have been unable to deliver sufficient amount of energy to your client according to the contract.

    As I understand from following your test the eCat have been fairly stable, not having more issues than a normal plant of similar complexity and design using traditional source of energy.

    Dear A.Rossi,
    About the E-Cat X:
    Do you think that it is fir only for domestic use or also for industrial and extended roles?
    Thak you for your answers,
    Alice

  • Andrea Rossi

    Ing. Michelangelo De Meo:
    Thank you for the link.
    The 1 MW E-Cat is stable ( 04.10 p.m. of Tuesdy Dec 29)

    Hello dr. Rossi,
    I am sending a link of an article talking of your work.
    Can you give us some good news on the plant?

    The cold fusion horizon
    Is cold fusion truly impossible, or is it just that no respectable scientist can risk their reputation working on it?

    1- by machine
    2- yes
    3- I have the faculty to be at the same time in two different places ( …and to walk upon the water, resuscitate deads- I did it with many zombies- etc etc)
    4- now the Team id complete, but soon I will need help and we will make known how to apply. I want to make new jobs
    5- sooner or later I will. Now it is impossible

    Marco:
    The BOEING experimental planes you cite are exactly what I meant when I said “Toys”: I did not refer literally to toys, but in general to devices that have nothing to do with industrial and commercial applications in the aviation business. They are devices interesting under a theoretical point of view, albeit you’ll never see anything like that for passengers or merchandise transportation.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

    Dear mr. Rossi,

    Considering the oil price now is Below 40 USD/bbl , and may be low for years ahead…

    Are you still confident the e-cat can compete with cheap fuel oil for producing heat (i.e. Heating medium or hot water)?

  • Marco

    Dear Andrea,

    Congratulation for the electric ECat.

    I do not agree with you regarding electric planes. Boeing (if I remember well) produces two electric planes with discrete autonomies (a mono seat and in a few months a bi-seat)… The main problem is the weight of the batteries, since an electric motor is very affordable and dependable… But with one o more EE-Cat, backed by some batteries…

    Finally a joke: “Do electric cats dream of electric mouses?”

    Regards.

  • Bernie Morrissey

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    YOU ROCK!!!!!.
    Just when I think you come with the best invention ever.(Ecat) You keep coming up with better ideas and inventions.I wish you and your team a Happy New Year. I can hardly wait for production to start and to see what you come up with next. Hopefully they all bear fruit.

  • Frank Acland

    Dear Andrea,

    A few question regarding the E-Cat X, if you don’t mind.

    1. How are you making these wafers nowadays — by machine, by hand?
    2. Does the fuel wafer in the E-Cat X include the resistors as described in your US Patent?
    3. What do you do if you need to be in two places at once (with the E-Cat X and the 1MW Plant)?
    4. With so many promising projects to work on, there must be lots of work to do. Are you hiring help — if so, how can someone apply?
    5. Could you provide a photo, like you have done with the 1MW plant?

    Many thanks,

    Frank Acland

  • Silvio Caggia

    Dear Andrea Rossi,
    Is it possible to drive e-cat-X in order to achieve only electric power and near zero thermal power?
    Is there any theorical limit to the minimal working temperature?
    (Yes, I am thinking about places where it’s difficult to dissipate heat, like in deep space vacuum or in a pocket…)

  • Andrea Rossi

    Bob Fastnacht:
    Thank you for your kind words.
    Answer: no, it is not possible.
    Happy New year to you,
    A.R.

  • Bob Fastnacht

    Dear Andrea Rossi,
    You are an inspiration to all of us who have dreamed of inventing a product that will truly make a difference in peoples lives.
    Do you believe it is possible to produce electricity from the E-Cat in a similar manner of the E-Cat X ?
    Happy New Year!

    Gerard Mc Ek:
    1- update: now, at08.10 a.m. of Dec 29th the 1 MW E-Cat is stable. I am inside here 16 hours per day, how can I neglect it?
    2- yes
    3- sooner or later yes, but it is very premature. We will present it when and if we will be sure it will be ready for production.
    4- yes
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • Andrea Rossi

    Anna:
    No, I am working on the E-Cat X in a specific laboratory I set up for “her”. This lab, for obvious reasons, is close to the factory where the 1 MW plant is operating.
    Warm Regards,

  • Andrea Rossi

    Alessandro Coppi:
    Let’s bring on the work we are focused on now. When you make a battle you must put all your force on the specific battlefield in the specific moment, otherwise you are doomed to be defeated.
    Thank you for your suggestion, though, albeit I think that, under the energetic point of view, an electric motor for aeroplanes is a wrong concept, unless you make toys.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • alessandro Coppi

    Hi Andrea,
    perhaps now you should stop the research in the jet engine sector, and focalize on very powerful and special electrical motor for airplanes.

    Best regards
    Alessandro Coppi

  • Anna

    Dear Andrea Rossi:
    Are you working on the E-Cat X in the same factory where the 1 MW plant works?
    Happy New Year,
    Anna

  • Rémi André

    Dear Mr Rossi

    Congratulations for your new discovery concerning E-CAT X. May I ask you if the phenomenom involved in the Rossi Effect has something to do with Magneto Hydro Dynamics ? You are not obliged to answer but in the case the answer is positive I recommend you to follow this link

    http://www.savoir-sans-frontieres.com/JPP/telechargeables/English/THE_SILENCE_BARRIER.pdf

    Moreover even if the answer is negative I think you should read this because it could be useful in your Jet Engine project.

    Thank you for reading this.

  • Gerard McEk

    Dear Andrea,
    Due to the extremely compelling invention of the EEcat, no doubt many new ideas blossomed in your mind and no doubt that will continue.
    1. I hope you are not neglecting the 1MW plant, which is still very important for the future I assume. How is it running today?
    A few questions regarding the Ecat X:
    2. Are all three Ecats equipped for extracting the electrical current?
    3. We would love to see it demonstrated to Lewan or some other credible people (I volunteer too). Is there any possibility?
    4. Still happy with the performance?
    I wish you and your team all the best for 2016 and a lot of cracker less New Fire!

  • Dan C.

    Dear Andrea,

    Everyone can make money with this technology.
    One Perspective is- Everyone has the potential to make money with this technology. Another Perspective is- A Penny saved is a Penny earned.

    For those who propose a moneyless society. You must keep track of work/benefit else you will have few producing(work) and many just enjoying the fruits of others labor(benefit). The system would collapse.

    We can count the labor hours performed by each person to keep track.
    I approached my Doctor about this and he concurred this could work.
    However, He wants 6 hours of my labor for 15 minutes of his time.

    Warm regards,
    Dan C.

    You said
    >>>>>>>> and I tried many times to push a communist program (abolishing wage work and money) with Andrea Rossi and his revolutionary inventions but always failed<<<<<<<<

    You did it wrong "pushing Andrea Rossi". The best results are when you self, give an example how to do it. Working for free for a year, what do you thing about this.:)
    Happy New Year

    Akum:
    You can’t imagine how impatient am I, but I must be patient all the way, working to make it happen as soon as possible. Sometime you can’t foresee: for example, I studied for years how to get out from an E-Cat directly electricity ( we had traces of it), but I have not been able and for those years no progress has been done…suddenly, during a night in the plant, I got an idea that arrived unexpected, and in few seconds we got a progress that we didn’t get in years.
    Therefore, it is impossible to give an answer.

    Andrea,
    It has taken me a few days to digest your incredible news about the E-Cat X.

    You have shared your intent to initiate a commercial revolution with the E-Cat X and this has created many thoughts on what you might mean. Does the following scenario fit within your goal?

    I suggest that another way of seeing what you are talking about is the idea of Micro-Finance . . . the lending of small $ amounts to the poor or impoverished who can then establish a small business.

    The beauty is that this enabling of entrepreneurs allows for the elevation of local conditions. For example, money to buy a milk cow goes a long way towards feeding/wet nursing the poor. Or, a sewing machine for keeping clothing in good repair for those who have jobs. A bicycle for a delivery service. Etc.

    A 3.5 kw E-Cat X can go a long way towards elevating the local conditions of the impoverished community. The local entrepreneur selling power for cell-phone charging, cooking, hot water, water purification, water pumping, sewage disposal, micro-industries, etc.

    Muhammad Yunus earned the Nobel Peace Prize because of the impact microlending had upon those in need, those cutoff from traditional sources of help.
    Link>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Yunus

    Given your apparent desire to benefit humanity, I can easily imagine this is within the scope of your stated goal. This avenue speaks to helping 10’s to 100’s of millions of people relatively quickly. Does the above fall within your idea of a commercial revolution?

    Dear Andrea Rossi!
    Just one question about the direct electricity from the E-Cat X:
    Could this be an effect from beta(-)decay? -> Emission of electrons -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_particle
    (1) Yes!
    (2) No!
    (3) Maybe!

    For those unfamiliar with an economy of plenty…

    Source: Wikia: Star Trek
    The New World Economy ( Star Trek )

    Under the New World Economy, material needs and money no longer existed and humanity had grown out of its infancy. People were no longer obsessed with the accumulation of things, effectively eliminating hunger and the want for possessions. The challenge and driving force then were to self-improvement, self-enrichment and the betterment of all humanity.

    However, the Federation continued to deal with other cultures which had money-based economies. The Ferengi in particular were scornful of the Federation’s economic system:

    “I’m Human, I don’t have any money.”
    “It’s not my fault that your species decided to abandon currency-based economics in favor of some philosophy of self-enhancement.”
    “Hey, watch it. There’s nothing wrong with our philosophy. We work to better ourselves and the rest of Humanity.”
    “What does that mean exactly?”
    “It means… it means we don’t need money!”

    Ps: you are correct, turning up or down or choosing between electricity and heat is no big deal. But I wanted to congratulate you on the production of electricity!
    Tom

    Dr. Rossi, I know you will be in the Plant on New Years Eve.
    I hope you have a TV, So you can watch the Ball Drop, as many people in
    Times Square do, as well as many millions of people all across the USA.
    I think the Ball is the one the Cat is playing with.
    I think 2016 will be the year of the E-Cat.
    I also think, (F9) 2016 will be your happiest year ever !

    What special thing happens at midnight on Dec 31st? Isn’t it just another minute, like any other passing by in your testing?

    Many thanks,

    Mr. Rossi

    I hope that you are enjoying the holidays.

    Is there anything you can tell us in general terms about the mechanism by which the E-cat X generates electricity? Does it emit some kind of particle, which can be converted easily to electricity? Some form of EM radiation?

    Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

  • orsobubu

    Silvio Caggia, haha you made me laugh, your sentence about “who pays” is correct and I tried many times to push a communist program (abolishing wage work and money) with Andrea Rossi and his revolutionary inventions but always failed. No way he can abjure the capitalist model; anyway, he’s much more akin to the classic XIX century capitalism (Edison, Ford) than contemporary imperialistic model.
