Dear Andrea,
My love affair with electrons started when I chose to explore hyperfine splitting of electron spin fields in free radical systems for my Masters thesis. I was amazed to see and measure the spectral splitting in these fields using a microwave cavity that I assembled. This led me into the laser development work at the time when standard physics said they were impossible to achieve because of thermal noise which would prevent the population inversion of necessary electron energy levels. They were of course proven wrong by an experimentalist who found a method of supplying large quantities of the proper energy to the electron systems and achieved lasing in a Ruby crystal. My point is are you doing a similar procedure to force the electromagnetic fields(for instance of the S level electrons in some atoms) into the nuclei to interact with the internal fields of the nucleons to produce the excess energy you observe? Are you creating the necessary high temperature conditions by manipulating these systems with your device?
Wondering regards.
Eernie1:
The electron capture is a nuclear interaction that cannot exist in LENR, for the simple reason that if you do not have an excess of protons ( which means if you do not use radioactive materials ) or if you do not have 750 keV ( 1 eV = 12 500 Celsius ) you cannot have any kind of electron capture.
For obvious reasons, since we cannot use radioactive materials in LENR and we use energies lower by orders of magnitude than the threshold of 750 keV, I sincerely think that to talk of electron capture in LENR is not serious for any physicist, whatever his/her background or orientation. By the way, your comment arrived to me while I was reading a fantastic lecture of the Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek, whose title is “The enigmatic electron” [Nature- June 2013 498 (7452):31-2] in which the great physicist says intriguingly: “To understand the electron is to understand the world”: please, Eernie, don’t roam around capturing electrons…we need them to understand the world!

Dear Andrea,
I noticed that you dismissed the notion of electron capture in your process by using standard physics observations and theory. However you have criticized standard physics when used to dismiss your theories. Since your work is showing that perhaps standard physics cannot be used when applied to your device, perhaps it also cannot be used to dismiss electron capture as part of your process. There are other researchers who are using the notion of electron capture in their explanations of their work in LENR. I would suggest that it may be more advantageous to not discourage thinking of any sort when applied to this new direction in physics.
Open minded regards.

Is it possible with eCat-SK technology for an industrial user to have the eCat-SK output thermal energy (hot air) to heat a thermoelectric converter (say running at 5 – 10% efficiency) and then using an inverter to generate 60Hz 115VAC power to feed the eCat-SK Controller (and the eCat-SK reactor)? The excess heat could then be used for the normal industrial application with no input wall power required? Given an effective system COP of higher than 25, this should be possible. Start-up and shutdown conditions could be addressed by a rechargeable battery.
Dear Andrea,
This week I have noticed that you reply on your blog a few hours earlier than previously.
Is that because you are so extremely busy that you sleep 3 ours less?
If so, then please be careful with yourself, the world (and your family) needs you.
On the other hand maybe you are on holidays on Ponta Delgada, then enjoy your holidays, you have earned it very much!

Still about the image of the Ecat SK on http://www.ecatskdemo.com: what are for the two pipes on the top of the blue box inside the golden cone?
Can you explain what you mean when you write about the ‘unexpected success’ of the January 31 presentation. Were you not expecting to have much success?
Obama:
Do you have the slightest idea about how much I studied and discussed with top level scientists in 10 years? Should I not have made any progress or changed any idea, this would be a solid evidence of my imbecility. I am not a genius, but I am neither an imbecile.

Dr Andrea Rossi:
I found on http://www.Researchgate.net all your publications and I noticed an enormous difference between your publication co-authored by Prof. Sergio Focardi in 2010 and your last paper published on January 2019. Can you explain?
Haha ok you got me there. But no need to feel jealous she is dancing beautifullly on stage in the demo but is also a distant star and we can only look and wonder from a far. But like an angel seen dancing in the firmament there is something captivating about what she represents.
I must admit I’m fascinated though what understandings she can bring to science. I looking forward to following the new understandings that may come up when the time is ready.

Caro Dr. Rossi ha mai pensato di adottare la tecnologia con struttura a nido d’ape utilizzata all’interno delle normali marmitte catalitiche per auto allo scopo di ottimizzare la reazione e la distribuzione (spazialmente parlando) degli elementi e dei gas presenti dentro il reattore? Magari sarebbe possibile passare da una singola “ballerina” ad un vero e proprio “corpo di ballo” con numerose “ballerine” dentro ogni singolo reattore migliorando l’uniformità e la stabilità delle temperature con i conseguenti positivi effetti energetici.
English synopsis:
Why don’t you try to design the reactor as a honeycat, turning the ballerina into a collective ballet? This could upgrade the uniformity and the stability of the reactions.

I have a couple of questions about the recent demo particarly regarding the set up that I wonder if you can answer.
In your recent reply to me you confirmed the spectrometer is outside the heatf exchanger due to thermal and saturation reasons. And looking through a kind of window to the device. I suppose this I also true of course for the camera that filmed the ballerina.
I was initially wondering if it was looking through a small window perhaps a few cm in diameter. I suppose though that might imply some kind of strong filter. But another’ idea has occurred to me. I wonder.
1. Are you using a pin hole like set up?
2. Is the spectrometer looking through a pin hole window in the device or a larger window?
3. If so I assume its placed so it still gets the light from the 1cm part containing the core?.
4. A small hole brings the advantage of reducing the amount of light entering the spectrometer.
5. the size of the minimal hole is important however at thesese wave lengths there is an optimum size for image focusing of a few hundred micro meters however at diameters below this it would have diffraction effects and produce an Airy disc. Particulary towards the longer wave lengths… a larger Airy disc for longer wave lengths and smaller holes
6. I suppose this dispersion however could actually be an advantage for the alignment of for the measurement a.) allowing more dispersin of the light further moderates it reducing its strength. b) it allows easier alignment of the spectrometer sensor or attached optical fiber with the Airy disc.
7. The disadvantage is the resolution is reduced… but I suppose as long as the resolution is below 1cm we are ok here. I think that would correspond though to a pin hole a few micro meters at these wavelengths though. So for this constraints a few micro meters might be sufficient minimum.
8.. that longer wave lengths would more dispersed than shorter wavelengths so I wonder if this partly explains the cut off and lack of spectrum at longer wavelengths.
Then I thought about the image of the ballerina….
9. Is that image from a projection made bulb the pin hole… a kind op pin hole camera?
9. If so iits very clever it gets around the image saturation problem like looking at the solar eclipse with a pin hole camera…
10. The dis advantage is that tif the pin hole is very small less than a few hundred micro mthe image resolution is affected by the Airy disc. Effectively being blurred with perhaps some chromatic dispersion… but actually it does seem a bit like that…
11 on the other hand I suppose that image could have been taken through strong filter..
12 or ta combination of filter and pin hole.
Here’s a thought… if we can see the ballerina through the pin hole…. then she can see you looking back al be it you would be a bit blurry and upside down. But maybe that’s why she’s dancing.
Alll the best for things going forward it sounds like it’s going well.

In paragraph 1 of your paper https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-CatSK_and_long_range_particle_interactions you consider an elaborate hypothesis in regard of the possibility that the Casimir effect could origin the heat gain, but in your comments here you insist on the alternative hypothesis in paragraphs 2,3,4.
