A) After all those cca 12 years of research, have You found out whether any element or substance disappears from the reactor or is consummed (reactor in the technical sense, i.e. the material vessel inside which the reactions occur)?
20 persons working together on the experiments with you is a substantial team.
1) Are you all in the same location?
2) Are all working full time?
3) Do you have all the financial and equipment resources you need?
4) How do you characterize the progress of the team?
Dear Andrea,
Just a question about how you have organized the introduction of the E-Cat SK and the SK Leonardo on the market:
1. You are the only one that decides what to put on the market and when, you industrial partner has no vote.
2. You and your industrial partner have equal voting in this.
3. Your industrial partner decides what and when the E-Cats are put on the market.
Thanks, kind regards, Gerard
From meditation and a lot of information that was shared here, and which I am all trying to understand, I came across an article describing that X-rays can be converted into electricity with solid-state materials with an efficiency of 70 to 75%. https://actu.epfl.ch/news/a-novel-material-turns-space-radiation-into-electr/
Unfortunately or fortunately, X-rays are a few orders of magnitude less energetic than the production of Gamma’s previously reported by Andrea Rossi.
So by changing a parameter or a reagent somewhere on the reaction, it could well be that E-Cat SKL works on that concept.
Since X-rays deal with irradiated materials in a rather destructive way, it also seems plausible that a search must be made for stable construction materials for the reactors.
Hence my suggestion to contact specialists in this field: https://www.xfel.eu
I therefore expect a “no comment” response from Andrea Rossi, but in the meantime it helps me not to have to think about Carnot-like machines anymore. So more time for meditation, reflection and wonder for the beautiful system of the universe.
Some questions about the relativistic rotating electron model:
1- If variations in a gravity field move at the speed of light, the rotating electron’s gravity well will arrive on the opposite side of its rotation before it does (diameter vs 1/2 circumference). Is it possible for the gravitational force (as a function of rotational Radius) to be large enough to maintain the rotation?
2- When an electron is accelerated linearly to relativistic speeds, does the axis of rotation of the electron automatically align with the direction of propagation?
Would this limit the maximum linear velocity, since it is not possibly to simultaneously travel at the speed of light in two orthogonal directions?
3- If the axis of rotation is allowed to be orthogonal to the direction of propagation, the combined trajectory would be equivalent to a spot on a rotating tire on a moving car. as observed by a stationary observer. Since the velocity in the direction of propagation oscillates the electron would not be able to reach a linear speed of light.
Dear Andrea,
There is one thing that troubles me for a long time. and which I should know as a person whose basic specialization is metal science and who has been engaged all his life in developing various novel materials (metal hydrides included). But I still don’t understand one point that causes the inferiority complex in me.
All ECat previous versions, operating at 1000-1300 degrees Celsius comprise hydrogen in a form of LiAlH4, which at a less temperatures melts down, hydrogen becomes gaseous and emitted from it, lithium evaporated, Al interacts with excess if Ni forming NiAl3. What happens to hydrogen gas in this case? Will it stay in a fuel or leave Ecat?
It is known that already at 500 degrees Celsius hydrogen passes through any steel tube and only oxides can slow down this process. But micro-cracks in ceramic tubes and and poorly sealed pipe ends cannot prevent the escape of hydrogen from the system.
The only chance for hydrogen is to be absorbed by Ni powder on its surface and inside micro-defects, but it is unlikely that he will be able to stay there at these temperatures.
The other possibility exists for its accumulation in Ni powder microstructure – on dislocation loops that can be created artificially. But it requires evidence.
By the way, I forgot about third component in the fuel, which refers to your “Know-How”. May be its main goal is hydrogen accumulation? But it is not the fact as it is very complicated problem.
Best wishes to you and to your team.
Bonne chance!

Dear colleagues,
I have been waiting for the moment when scientific discussion will move to the main issue – how electricity is generated in the ECat SKL. And since this question was finally raised, I would also like to comment on a few points.
Practically all systems producing electricity use so-called the Carnot cycle – heat is transformed into mechanical work and then to electricity. Except some exotic types like low efficiency thermoelectric converters.
It is also known that any action sooner or later transforms into heat release.
Many proposals appeared on the JONP forum concerning how to optimize heat to electricity cycle but unfortunately they are all far from reality.
Any noticed in the comments proposed optimal structures such as “organizing plasma phenomena of electrons around a positive core” or others have a minor possibility to produce electricity as all these structures are in equilibrium state. For example, standard atomic structure with separated negative charged electrons rotating around positive charged protons, etc, cannot produce electricity. If something in the matter structure due to some energy impact (needs external energy) becomes separated and able to produce electricity it is immediately find more stable state with release of heat or electromagnetic radiation and we do not have time to catch the right moment for electricity. Our proposal to the system to produce electricity should be much preferable (benefit) to it (not so simple as to put electrodes). And you don’t have to offer money to it since it exists in other ways.
A few months ago I asked Andrea: “that in one model the LENR excess heat happens at the account of the chaotic pulse movement of electrons. Then just by applying a magnetic field to it, you can order the movement of electrons and get a current.” And his answer was very similar to Yes. But I am not sure that he said what he want to say. If it is not too confidential, can Andrea will not tell the truth, but will only speculate on this subject.
Best regards,
Aleksei
P.S. To everybody. Please, do not use the term ballerina in the future, if possible. This is from another area.
I also cannot agree with PlasmaFan that “getting tremendous excess heat is pretty easy”. I think he meant that transformation from heat to electricity is also a complicated task
have you ever thought of turning your eCat into an “open source project” as your “gift” to humanity?
With the worldwide collaboration of the technological companies of the sector this would greatly shorten the development time of the system and would contribute to solve a huge part of mankind’s problems.
You would go down in history as one of its most famous characters and in the end you would have more money than you can spend.
You would probably be the first to get the Nobel Prize for physics and the Nobel Peace Prize at the same time.
1) When did you first make the mental connection between ball lightning (or any kind of self organizing plasma phenomena) and your E-Cat technology?
2) The literature states that these plasma balls with an exterior membrane of electrons around a positive core can act as resonance chambers and “feed” off electromagnetic radiation. Is this the reason that in your previous powder based systems alternating current (especially with higher frequency harmonics) was used due to the fact AC would have radiated RF that would have been absorbed by the plasma balls, allowing them to grow larger and induce LENR reactions?
3) In the E-Cat QX and SK, after cutting off all input power from a power supply, what was the life span of the plasma ball or “ballerina” before it dissipated?
4) Was the lifespan of the plasma ball extended due to LENR reactions (or any other type) that produced heat which would have sustained it without the need for external electrical input?
5) Does the E-Cat QX, SK, or SKL produce a plasma ball in the steady state mode (in which the double layers remain intact) or the next phase of self-organization (the pulsating mode) in which double layers or “sheathes” are thrown off and replaced repeatedly?
6) Have you ever had a plasma ball from any of these systems, for example during high powered “torture” testing, escape the reactor body itself and enter the outer environment of the laboratory?
7) So far in the testing of the E-Cat SKL, have you found any wear and tear, erosion, or damage on the electrodes?
Thank you so much for any answers you can provide.
The UK Company Reaction Engines Limited is developing an air-breathing rocket engine named Sabre for single stage to orbit craft. As a part of this engine they have patented, developed, built and validated (Oct 2019) an extremely efficient light weight pre-cooler heat exchanger that consists of thousands of meters of small bore thin wall tube, this pre-cooler heat exchanger is capable of cooling incoming Mach 5 speed air from over 1000 deg C to -150 deg C in less than 1/20th of a second.
The technology of the pre-cooler heat exchanger may possibly be suitable for alternative development, used in reverse as part of a heater within an air or gas blower, the heat exchanger internal to the blower with single or multiple pumped fluid circuits and multiple E-Cat heaters externally close by. Thermal heat transfer fluids like Dowtherm A can be used up to 400 deg C.
An economic hot air blower will find opportunities across many industries and if small can be used for vehicle or domestic heating.
large units can be used in heating and ventilation systems (HVAC) for shops, warehouses, offices, factories or leisure venues, industrial ovens and processes, bakery ovens (150 to 300 deg C), farm grain dryers, heated farm buildings for livestock or poultry, greenhouses, or in farm fields blowing along the interior of a polytunnel, (heavily used in the UK due to our weather, could use tens of thousands of heaters to extend the growing season).
Low cost heating for agriculture may have a major impact on food costs, variety grown, year-round food availability and where you can locate farms – indoor farming in Scandinavian countries, northern Canada, Alaska or Siberia. There are many areas of the world with farms that have the benefit of a warm climate and all year sunshine, and vast northern areas that do not.
Hi Andrea, with regard to the work to obtain reliability before the public presentation of the e-cat Leonardo, I believe that it will be time to obtain such feature. The simple demonstration of the principle will bring the world to another and higher level of technology.
Remember that Volta did not wait for reliability, before show its experiments with frogs.
Time will not lack to obtain a reliable product in the future.
Regarding the problems you are dealing with, is it possible you were mistaken in thinking that the SKL could operate in permanent self-sustain over a period of days?
If the current implementation of the SKL is not “rock-solid” in its reliability and performance, then I suggest you postpone the public demonstration. I would wait until at least one month of reliable, every time, performance occurs. At that time, I would then suggest you make the announce of the public demonstration for a couple of months later. Also at that time, I would release the SKL to your independent evaluator. You would, of course, continue with minor refinements.
This is way too important to have a bad first impression.
I know that you previously said that you don’t think that your effect has something to do with the _not_yet_confirmed_ particle X17.
But I noticed the interest from Lajos Kelemen (Ikelemen), and I just watched and really appreciated the following video about it that has been released by Brady Haram on YouTube channel Sixty Symbols : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k6dKfmOufI
I just wanted to share it with you and the other readers who may be interested in learning more about the subject.
I can’t wait for the next demo (may it be in march or later).
Keep up the excellent work !

I think that if the ballerina or plasma ball has multiple striations or sheathes (double layers) of positive ions and electrons, then it would be possible to put electrodes into two points. However, I suspect that in a high powered system where everything has been tuned to achieve the greatest level of self organization, there’s a very good chance of such electrodes vaporizing. Instead, I think that what’s more likely to work is to optimize the setup so that the plasma ball produces ion acoustic oscillations that travel through the circuit. These types of plasma balls almost literally breath (inhale and exhale) electrons and ions from the plasma. The definition of electrical current is moving charged particles, so the plasma ball is actually producing electrical current with every breath. If the plasma ball is basically self sustaining itself due to producing heat from LENR reactions which is being transformed into electrical energy, these currents should be able to be tapped into. I think one issue is that the output isn’t going to be clean, straight DC. It’s going to be “dirty” and will need to be cleaned up to be re-used to close loop the system.
I think the whole key here is to treat the plasma ball like an animal that can already perform everything you want it to. Instead of artificially inserting electrodes, you should adjust the environment, fuel composition, electrode distance, atmospheric pressure, electrode shape, any external magnetic fields applied, and so forth to get the animal to produce the kind of output you want.
This is both very simple and complex at the same time. I think getting tremendous excess heat is pretty easy. However, taming the beast is probably as difficult as teaching a lion to play fetch.
—
Dear Andrea,
The literature cites that once established via one of many means, these plasma balls act like resonance cavities because of the external spherical membrane of electrons that constitutes one side of the double layer. Papers say that they can be fed with not only the heat of the reactor but also RF or microwave energy. Are you using any such method to feed the ballerina?
I think the possibility is high that the E-Cat SKL is going through a process of optimisation.
The current development is likely targeted to obtain then verify the best ratio of electricity to heat possible from the E-Cat SKL, to not just establish existing operational boundaries but to push boundaries as far as practicable in the time span available. What innovation can be applied to push the boundary, what works, what does not, it’s a team effort.
As the E-Cat SKL charge contains a plasma zone, there will always be some element of heat, so a cold SKL is not possible. There may be attempts to minimise the plasma operating temperature, and probably adjust the stimulation signal for energy production rate, but at some point there will be a structural lower phase transition, below this it will not start, the process inside the plasma at a large scale will appear constant but at a very small scale the timing of the energy production events may be random and in bursts, the control process requires active feedback, hence the advantage of an AI program trained to self-correct from deviations in output, even with AI, in attempting to reduce the heat output at some point a large deviation drop out will occur with shut down then automatic restart.
To target the optimal parameters that will produce the best electricity to heat ratio that can be tested as robust and reliant is a full research and development project, but in the case of the SKL may be limited to a period of weeks. It is likely that a good working version of the E-Cat SKL is ready, but can a better version be developed within the timespan before a third-party test then presentation.
An exciting time of discoveries but stressful to you and the people around you, this period may be regarded as the quiet before the storm, best wishes to you and your team.

An economic hot air blower will find opportunities across many industries and if small can be used for vehicle or domestic heating.
large units can be used in heating and ventilation systems (HVAC) for shops, warehouses, offices, factories or leisure venues, industrial ovens and processes, bakery ovens (150 to 300 deg C), farm grain dryers, heated farm buildings for livestock or poultry, greenhouses, or in farm fields blowing along the interior of a polytunnel, (heavily used in the UK due to our weather, could use tens of thousands of heaters to extend the growing season).
Low cost heating for agriculture may have a major impact on food costs, variety grown, year-round food availability and where you can locate farms – indoor farming in Scandinavian countries, northern Canada, Alaska or Siberia. There are many areas of the world with farms that have the benefit of a warm climate and all year sunshine, and vast northern areas that do not.

I think that if the ballerina or plasma ball has multiple striations or sheathes (double layers) of positive ions and electrons, then it would be possible to put electrodes into two points. However, I suspect that in a high powered system where everything has been tuned to achieve the greatest level of self organization, there’s a very good chance of such electrodes vaporizing. Instead, I think that what’s more likely to work is to optimize the setup so that the plasma ball produces ion acoustic oscillations that travel through the circuit. These types of plasma balls almost literally breath (inhale and exhale) electrons and ions from the plasma. The definition of electrical current is moving charged particles, so the plasma ball is actually producing electrical current with every breath. If the plasma ball is basically self sustaining itself due to producing heat from LENR reactions which is being transformed into electrical energy, these currents should be able to be tapped into. I think one issue is that the output isn’t going to be clean, straight DC. It’s going to be “dirty” and will need to be cleaned up to be re-used to close loop the system.
I think the whole key here is to treat the plasma ball like an animal that can already perform everything you want it to. Instead of artificially inserting electrodes, you should adjust the environment, fuel composition, electrode distance, atmospheric pressure, electrode shape, any external magnetic fields applied, and so forth to get the animal to produce the kind of output you want.
This is both very simple and complex at the same time. I think getting tremendous excess heat is pretty easy. However, taming the beast is probably as difficult as teaching a lion to play fetch.

Dear Andrea,
The literature cites that once established via one of many means, these plasma balls act like resonance cavities because of the external spherical membrane of electrons that constitutes one side of the double layer. Papers say that they can be fed with not only the heat of the reactor but also RF or microwave energy. Are you using any such method to feed the ballerina?

Dear Andrea,
I think the possibility is high that the E-Cat SKL is going through a process of optimisation.
The current development is likely targeted to obtain then verify the best ratio of electricity to heat possible from the E-Cat SKL, to not just establish existing operational boundaries but to push boundaries as far as practicable in the time span available. What innovation can be applied to push the boundary, what works, what does not, it’s a team effort.
As the E-Cat SKL charge contains a plasma zone, there will always be some element of heat, so a cold SKL is not possible. There may be attempts to minimise the plasma operating temperature, and probably adjust the stimulation signal for energy production rate, but at some point there will be a structural lower phase transition, below this it will not start, the process inside the plasma at a large scale will appear constant but at a very small scale the timing of the energy production events may be random and in bursts, the control process requires active feedback, hence the advantage of an AI program trained to self-correct from deviations in output, even with AI, in attempting to reduce the heat output at some point a large deviation drop out will occur with shut down then automatic restart.
To target the optimal parameters that will produce the best electricity to heat ratio that can be tested as robust and reliant is a full research and development project, but in the case of the SKL may be limited to a period of weeks. It is likely that a good working version of the E-Cat SKL is ready, but can a better version be developed within the timespan before a third-party test then presentation.
An exciting time of discoveries but stressful to you and the people around you, this period may be regarded as the quiet before the storm, best wishes to you and your team.

Keith Thomson.

I wish it was so simple !

Dear WaltC,
You here asked about elements in “reactor”.
We, technicians under term “reactor” understand a hardware – some vessel inside which are running reactions.
Here Dr. Rossi probably under term “reactor” understand something different: a plasma or dense cloud of electrons itself.
So answers to your queries have something different means.
Please next time ask about “elements/isotopes inside wider vessel”.
Dear Dr. Rossi,
Are there areas in the ballerina with different electrical potentials?
If so, it should be possible to draw electricity by simply placing two electrodes in appropriate points.
Sincerely
Italo R.
