    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    I wish you all success with the E-Cat SKL tests and with the presentation!

    Due to the Corona crisis, some day’s ago the US government announced that – for the time beïng – Europeans are not allowed anymore to go to the US. Can you go back to the US if you want to?

    Kind Regards

    From my perspective centralized power is not now or never has been a great delivery system. Unfortunately until now it was the only option. Besides the plant inefficiency there are power line losses that further reduce the efficiency and all of those utility workers and CEO wages, bonuses and retirement payments that are added to your bill! The ecat will eliminate all of those disadvantages!

    Warm regards,

    Dear Andrea,

    Is there any consensus viewpoint from your team / partner regarding either centralised or decentralised use of E-Cat’s for near future expansion into the market?

    There is probably many pros and cons for either, viewpoints depending on whether from the supplier or the user, governments, institutions, companies and people will all have their own viewpoints on this.

    Make use of existing centralized site cooling facilities and electrical grid connections replacing the generation structures or set up new small-scale localized sites or onsite industrial / domestic installations. It may be that for near future centralized is best then progressing to decentralized in the long term.

    Regards,

    Keith Thomson.

    Dear Andrea,

    thank you for your very patient and polite response to my ungrounded question.

    I am sorry for confusing the question by using the metaphor “guardrails”, mimicking the use of guardrails from the “deep learning” video. Compared to your team member(s) having mastery over “deep learning”, I can only draw upon articles like:
    Link>> https://www.infoworld.com/article/3397142/what-is-deep-learning-algorithms-that-mimic-the-human-brain.html

    In such, they have described training of a “deep learning AI” as:
    “Supervised learning of a neural network is done just like any other machine learning. You present the network with groups of training data, compare the network output with the desired output, generate an error vector, and apply corrections to the network based on the error vector.”

    With this in mind, “guardrails” becomes the negation of “desired output”.

    As always, I deeply wish all of you good health.

    Sincerely and Respectfully,
    Mason Ainsworth

  • Eric Ashworth

    Dear Andrea, After careful considerations regarding the confidential nature of what is required to put your E Cat into a self sustaining mode and produce an unlimited supply of electrical energy I intend to publish this information and more in a paper entitled ‘Much Ado About Super Neutrals’ both on your JONP and E Cat News. Therefore you can be assured that your E Cat will eventually be able to produce exactly what is required. Both yourself and Frank Ackland did confirm that you would allow such information to be published. I am at the moment in the process of putting this information together and I will contact yourselves when complete for approval. Thank you.
    Regards Eric Ashworth

    The herd immunity policy could remotely be an option should a vaccination be possible, which is not this case. The way it has been presented, it seems to me some kind of syncretism between the nazist physician Josef Mengele and the Dr Strangelove movie character. I hope it is a joke.

    Dear Andrea,

    Will the presentation be commercially or technically orientated or both.

  • Frank Acland

    Dear Andrea,

    Interesting to hear that Deloitte is helping you with business planning. You state that your plan “foresees different scenarios depending on the allegaices?”

    1. Does this mean that personnel at Deloitte are well aware of your technology?

    2. Does this mean that you will be reaching out to make allegiances with different companies to incorporate the E-Cat SKL with their products and services?

    3. Will you be inviting companies to contact you at your presentations to negotiate allegiances?

    Best wishes,

    Frank Acland

    About your paper
    http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
    I understood how the Ecat SK works, observing at the same time the plasma shown in

    Are you not afraid that competitors couls copy your technology putting severe attention in those publications?

  • Buck

    Dear Andrea,
    On the 8th, Daniel Zavela asked “Why do you feel the SKL will be ‘easier to certify’ for home use?” Your response left me to wonder “how”.

    How could you make such a grand leap from “difficult, time consuming, years away” for a fairly reliable revolutionary technology at the beginning of 2019 to “by April 2020” as of December 4, 2019, barely days after attaining “permanent SSM” of the SKL? A period of time, during which you and your expanded team made major strides, driving toward greater and greater reliability of the whole system (control module and SKL cube/hardware). Especially and respectfully, when at its root, the physics presented in your LRPI paper still exists as “theory” rather than “law”

    I’m an optimist about your path, so intuition has framed the following:
    1. The advent of the plasma design and then the apparent major re-design of the SKL from the SK, has profoundly improved the reliability of the whole package, the 10cm cube plus the control box. Importantly, the SKL brought you far closer to achieving the direct production of electricity that you first noted many years ago. The SKL enabled you to set a goal: permanent SSM. Thereby establishing a Alpha control point of further R&D.
    2. Further, your declaration of attaining permanent SSM of the SKL (11/23/19) kicked off a retooling of the AI control software through “deep learning” as you noted December 4, 2019.
    3. Subsequently, you were specific when you first shared and then attributed the improved reliability since attaining “SSM” to the AI software . . . the reliability issues were software and not hardware related, not even the hardware associated with the new feature of harvesting electricity from the plasma, a point that became a hint for me on your work with “deep learning”.
    4. Further, during this same time frame, you shared that the software improvements reinforced the theoretical bases presented in your LRPI paper, meaning (at least to me) the resultant evolved “deep learning” software code further “mapped” the energies, forces, and conditions of the “soup” that is the plasma with the SLRPI effect hidden deep down inside.

    My guess about how “deep learning” changed the future of the SKL and could achieve these results:
    The following very short “deep learning” video, where each stage of the software evolution race begins with the most successful green “car” of the prior generation becoming the seed “cars” for the next race, definitely over-simplifies what you, your team, and HAL the AI, have attained with “deep learning”.
    Link>> https://youtu.be/Aut32pR5PQA

    The two dimensional “cars” need only act/react at the level of maybe 0.1 second and the associated CPU functions at the gigahertz level, i.e., 10^-9 . . . plenty of time. However, SLRPI exists at the level of pico-seconds, i.e.10^-12. As well, the term gigahertz is just a single clock cycle. I’m no expert, but it seems that it might take 100’s of clock cycles to pull together a “responsive command” from a CPU. Therefore, HAL must, and apparently did penetrate the fog of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th order causes/effects where the “fog” is 1000-100,000 pico-seconds long/deep, shifting from “responsive command” towards “predictive”, though not predictive in the true sense. Apparently, HAL learned to attain and maintain “homeostasis” by learning to stay away from the metaphorical “guardrails”. My thought is that you and your team possibly defined as best you can four different sets of “guardrails” for HAL, roughly defined as follows:
    1. 4-dimensional shape of the plasma, delimited by the outermost boundary between “destructive” and “non-destructive” for the plasma housing.
    2. 4-dimensional shape of the non-self-destructive throughput capacity parameters of the electrical harvesting hardware, including the point of “interface/contact”.
    3. 4-dimensional shape of the 1st order causes of the SLRPI effect, the apparent point (for me) of translation between “non-electrical” and “electrical” effect
    4. 4-dimensional shape of the metaphorical leaky-pipe between the SLRPI effect and the electrical harvesting hardware, where the leaky-pipe includes the degradation of the total system due to losses to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th order causes and effects.

    As additional substantiation about the impact of “deep learning”, you recently spoke of regaining your optimism. Empathy suggests this was because the thing that was outside of your control, outside of your ability to intuit a solution, was the “deep learning” process suggested in the video. You had to rely upon HAL. Your emotional optimism returned when HAL materially improved the measured reliability of the SKL while also affirming the underlying theory presented in your LRPI paper. Importantly, you then shared that the software had increased the level of harvested electricity towards a theoretical maximum, a new term you have only just recently used implying a heightened sense of confidence in the underlying SLRPI theory. Further, this is a result that suggests you made major improvements in your version of guardrails #3 and/or #4.

    Now, compared to the “old” SK, the SKL is significantly more reliable, both hardware and software. Now, with all the redacted R&D documentation that might be requested to provide backup to the 3rd party with a global reputation, the SKL is prepared to pass with flying colors the rigorous appropriate testing of this revolutionary energy source.

    If my intuition painted a reasonable real-world picture
    1. Has it now become easier to engineer substantive improvements in the hardware durability of the housing encasing the SLRPI plasma as well as the hardware for the newly implemented functionality of harvesting electricity?
    2. Has it now become easier to “deep learn” as the evolving precision of the “guardrails” improves?
    3. Easier to attain & maintain a 5-6 Sigma level of reliability between scheduled replacements?
    4. Easier to engineer a longer lasting Cube, extending by 2x-4x the time between scheduled replacements?
    5. Easier to harvest electricity consistently at the 70-80% level you previously described?
    6. Do you still see that it is possible the “fuel” is a 100% efficient catalyst and no longer a “fuel”?
    7. Have you made further progress on defining your versions of #1 and #2 guardrails described above?
    8. Have you made further progress on defining your versions of #3 and #4 guardrails described above?

    Thank you for your patience as I and all the rest work towards keeping up an understanding of the SKL’s magnificent progress.

    As always, I wish you, your team, your wife, and now HAL all the best.

    Sincerely,
    Mason Ainsworth

    ps. Would you consider renaming HAL to HAL 7-Eleven, home of the SLRPI a bit absurd as a marketing slogan?

    Dear Andrea,

    A question was asked and in reply you indicated that for maintenance / service purposes a complete “cube” would be swapped out at end of service life, previously you mentioned that E-Cat housings (the 10cm a side cubes) were made from comercialy available components possibly good for 20 years, and that it was only the small charge within that had to be swapped out, are you now developing E-Cat housings as a plug in module to be swapped out quickly at end of life, E-Cat housing and contents being returned to a central location to be reconditioned / recycled?

    Regards,

    Keith Thomson.

    @Colin Watters
    evidentemente non hai letto con attenzione il mio commento precedente dove non ho mai detto che le due sostanze che citi siano equivalenti. Inoltre i medici cinesi hanno visto l’efficacia degli antimalarici nel contrastare il coronavirus e il chinino fa parte di questi oltre ogni dubbio e ti parlo da una zona d’Italia dove in passato la malaria ha fatto strage di esseri umani (la pianura Pontina). Infine volevo ricordarti che la mia era una semplice confidenza personale e non un invito verso chicchessia a seguire il mio modus operandi visto che tutti siamo capaci di sbagliare da soli.
    English sinopsys:
    I did not say that the two cited substances are equivalent.
    The Chinese physicians have experimented the efficacy of the antimalaric drugs to treat the corona virus and chinin belongs to this cathegory.
    By the way: I was just citing a personal opinion and I did not want to invite anybody to follow my “modus operandi” ( = way to do things ) : we all are able to make our own errors alone.

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    have you ever had the pleasure of personally knowing Emanuele Severino, the great philosopher and poet?

    The measure I have is that if your work is empirically solid in these 30 last years we have had two Greats of human knowledge and spirit.

    That is not credible. Two thousand years ago, the spirit continued only after the holy spirit descended.

    Many regular employees get shit in their pants when the maestro drops out, then they choose the money and leave the plans to someone who puts the plans in his closet.

    This level of sacrifice like yours doesn’t come back right away.

    Not every person is equally replaceable.

    Very concerned greetings,

    Vincenzo Bonomo: My understanding is that the Chinese tried chloroquine phosphate which is NOT found in tonic water.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/32075365/

    Tonic water contained quinine which is not quite the same thing. I can’t find a study that says quinine is effective. That appears to be a hoax.
