Dear Mr. Rossi,
i already wrote that you still have a headstart and an advance even if you start the production with just 800,000 orders. But you could try to convince politicians of EU-countries. I guess they are very desperate as the result of their failed sanctions, which now beatback 10 times harder to the initiators of the sanctions.
So write to your local deputy/assemblyman where you are able to show a working ecat sklep. Make the demonstration simple, just a light bulb with 100 Watt and an ammeter before the ecat. So this deputy can talk with his regime and maybe they give you the needed promotion (in the form of money or recommendation).
Best regards

> I ask you once again to show a picture of E-CatLEP interconnected, so that they produce 220 Volt ALTERNATING CURRENT.
I think it is much too complicated for E-CAT to produce 230V AC directly, unless it is strictly limited to off-grid usage.
If you want to use it as additional source of energy together with grid connection then this device needs to fulfill a lot of formal requirements, like “anti-islanding protections”, ability to synchronize with the grid or react to over-voltage. These requirements are called RfG (Requirements for Generators) and are mandatory in EU: https://www.entsoe.eu/network_codes/rfg/
This means it would be probably much more effective to have E-CAT producing DC with voltage between 250-400V. Then you can probably connect it to one of DC inputs of typical solar inverter. Although I’m not sure if this would play out with inverter’s MPPT function. This an option for which I’m waiting as well before I put my order.
I think, that in the long run it would be possible to have specific inverters for DC 12V E-CAT, but as I wrote already it would be quite complicated to follow all legal requirements.
Andreas and Enzo Amato:
This answer is to both of you, due to the fact that substantially you put the same questions.
My answer is combined by the following issues:
1- We have precise contracts on course that bind us to reach a precise economy scale, obviously, as I said, keeping the numbers with good sense
2- We reached pre-orders for about 800000 units, most of them made by big buyers
3- Obviously, before starting to manufacture even “only” 800000 units we need to have the guarantee to be paid
4- We do not have problems with the crowd of small buyers, that surely have the money to pay, sauf some exception that would not have relevant
consequences
5- Unfortunately, many big buyers are not able to give us evidence to dispose of the financial grounds necessary to guarantee us to be able to pay
6- As a consequence of this fact, we do not have so far enough pre-ordered units to sustain the manufacturing and the distribution
7- We cannot deliver small quantities for the following reasons:
8- We have an army of enemies- that surely are among the Clients that ordered one or few units- that will attempt to disparage the product
9- The point 8 can be resolved only if a mass of satisfied Clients obliterates the foes
10- Many other Clients will use the few units bought to make the reverse engineering
11- The points 8 and 10 would have catastrophic consequences for our investors
12- To confront successfully the points 1 through 11 it is important to dispose of a strong financial power of fire, otherwise our Team and our technology will be annihilated within weeks, if not days, after a superficial and naif distribution.
I empathyze your feelings, but also I hope you can understand that this situation is strategically very complex. This does not mean we will not be able to resolve it: we are working very hard.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
„Caro Dott. Rossi,
qual è la soglia minima per iniziare la produzione degli eCat? Se ad esempio dovesse raggiungere 800.000 ordini e le ordinazioni dovessero poi più o meno fermarsi, che fa? Butta tutto alle ortiche e rinuncia a vendere il suo progetto?
Non posso crederci…“
Lei rispose:
„Enzo Amato:
Obviously good sense will be applied,
Warm Regards,
A.R.“
Ora a quanto ho capito gli 800k ordini sono arrivati e si sono quasi fermati, quello che non vedo è il “good sense”. Si continua ad attendere la cifra magica di 1000k di ordini.
Francamente non capisco quale strategia persegua Leonardo Corporation. Disponendo di una “scatola magica” come l’Ecat, io spedirei cento apparecchi a clienti scelti che potrebbero testare l’aggeggio.
Se il dispositivo funziona, in dieci minuti avrebbe milioni di ordini e nei media la notizia letteralmente esploderebbe.
Problema risolto.
Invece si continua ad attendere il numero magico di un milione di ordini dei quali alla fine non è neanche garantito che essi si trasformeranno in vendite effettive.
Questa è una strategia per me inspiegabile. A meno che, riecco l’avvocato del diavolo, non sia tutto un fake.

Dear Dr. Rossi, last december I wrote:
“Dear Dr. Rossi,
what is the minimum threshold to start production of eCats? If, for example, you were to reach 800,000 orders and orders then more or less stop, what do you do? Does he throw it all away and give up selling his project?
I can’t believe it…”
She replied
“Enzo Amato:
Obviously good sense will be applied,
Warm Regards,
A.R.”
Now as I understand it the 800k orders have come in but almost stopped, what I don’t see is the “good sense.” One keeps waiting for the magic figure of 1000k orders.
Frankly, I do not understand what strategy Leonardo Corporation is pursuing. Having a “magic box” like the Ecat, I would ship a hundred devices to selected customers who could test the device.
If it works in ten minutes it would have millions of orders and in the media the news would literally explode.
Problem solved.
Instead you keep waiting for the magic number of a million orders of which there is not even a guarantee in the end that they will turn into actual sales.
This is an inexplicable strategy to me. Unless – the devil’s advocate is here again- it is all a fake.
Do I understand you correctly, that if you don’t reach the 1.000.000 preorders your invention will be “Lost” for Mankind because of financal terms? That would be a pitty.
I can’t believe that your only interest are in earning money. As many readers said before:
If you start delivering even with 800k units the request will rise exponential with the proof of function.
And even if someone will try to do reengineering they won’t be able to supply parts within weeks.

I still think we should be able to start the deliveries by this year, even if we had to cancel many orders from big buyers because after the vetting process we verified that they did not have the financial ground to support the payments they should do at the delivery.

Heinz Sause:
Your request is a nonsense: obviously if we reach our target we will start the global manufactiring because it is our interest, and surely we will not give out data upon which we are bound by NDAs. By the way, we did not and will not collect any money before we will inform who made a pre-order that we are ready to deliver, so nobody will be damaged and no money will change hands in case we will not reach the target of pre-orders. The pre-order form says clearly that if we will not reach the target of 1 million units ordered the pre-orders will be void. This said, any pre-order can be cancelled by the Clients anytime before the delivery.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Unfortunately there is no news on the number of “certified” pre-orders. I can imagine that the necessary economic checks with large buyers are complicated.
Due to this slowdown, are you still convinced of being able to start delivery of the SKlep by 2022?
After 11 years of unconditional support, we are looking forward to the much desired news: “The delivery of the 1,000,000 Skleps has begun !!!
hello dr rossi,
I was pretty close to the deadline with my tip for reaching 100,000 readers, but I was wrong.
My assumption that during this time the pre-order of 1 million. e-catslep would have been achieved but has been disappointed.
My initial use is to support an accumulator on my e-bike.
As things stand now, however, it will take weeks
the required number of pre-orders is reached.
And then who knows how long the delivery .
I have therefore decided to equip my bike with a “superwheel”
to equip.
Anyway, the order is out!
.
How can you ensure that for us e-catsklep customers
the pre-orders for the e-catsklep are checked by an independent body ?
About the comment Roberto made yesterday, I agree with him and think opportune to add that I checked many of the recommendations received on Researchgate by the paper http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions

Roberto
For my own purposes, I wanted to make a comparison of the Ecat-SKLep cost vs. current U.S. average natural gas (mBTU) and electricity (kWh) rates. I thought I’d share that here (and someone can correct me, if I miscalculated).
Background/Assumptions:
1) It’s based purely on the cost of the Ecat & does not include other costs (labor, inverters, housings…).
2) The Ecat runs full-on or full-off– i.e., there are no partial-power hours that utilize 100% service hours.
3) Conversion: 1 kWh = 3412 BTU.
**** Calculations: ****
Current Average US Utility Rates (as of May 2022):
Electricity: $0.1383/kWh
Heat (Natural Gas): $7.38/mBTU (million BTU)
Calculated Ecat-SKLep rates based on 3yr Warranty Period:
Electricity: $0.0951/kWh
Heat: $27.85/mBTU
Calculated Ecat-SKLep rates based on 11.4yr Service life (100K hours):
Electricity: $0.0250/kWh
Heat: $7.33/mBTU
**** Conclusions: ****
In comparison to average US utility rates of electricity and natural gas:
1) Electricity generation via the Ecat-SKLep is cost-effective at 3+ years.
2) Heat generation is not cost-effective at 3 years and marginally cost-effective at the full 11.4 years of service life (and less so, after factoring in other labor & equipment costs).
**** Comment: ****
The current, initial Ecat price-point is a reasonable start. High value applications, like transportation and power for remote off-grid locations, would greatly benefit at those prices. On-grid electricity users would also benefit at current Ecat pricing, although there needs to be off-the-shelf solutions for associated hardware (such as inverters that can efficiently balance load across multiple Ecat-SKLeps). Current-day natural gas applications may have to wait before they become cost-effective, but as with many new and evolving advanced technologies, that wait may not be all that long.
senpai:
Thank you for your comment. I received your address in my email, and it will remain confidential. I will send you the Ecat SKLep when we will start the deliveries,

Wow, I just found out that I’m really the winner of the 100K readings lottery.
Thanks to LarryG for organizing this lottery.
And thank you Dr. Rossi for making this new kind of energy possible.
As a long time silent follower of ECAT technology and this blog I’m eagerly waiting to hold one of the SKLep in my hands.
Much more difficult to speculate on a delivery date here, though.
Re your “teaser” post to Roberto today re solar panels, any chance of getting some more info?:
Are these tests looking at
1) solar panels as a power source for start up of the SKLep, or
2) using the light generated by the SKLep plasma to illuminate the solar panel so only the solar panel provides the final output power, or
3) the solar panel augments the output from the SKLep by making use of the light generated by the plasma
4) a bit more info if none of the above are close to the mark.
5) confidential at this time 🙂

Roberto:
Yes, we are making tests with prototypes of solar panels integrated with the Ecat technology, with very interesting results,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
You confirmed 4/24/2022 that you are working on an ECAT version that does not need an external power source. Posts are shown below.
1) Have you demonstrated that this is feasible?
______a.Eg something as simple as using an A/C in and out SKLep version, use a low wH capacity charged UPS as the power source, plug the SKLep into the UPS, plug an A/C splitter plug plugged into the SKLep A/C output (assuming the SKLep has only out outlet), and then the UPS plugged into the splitter.
______b.If you do not have a working A/C in and out SKLep prototype, use a DC/DC SKLep and insert between the UPS and SKLep a low power AC/DC converter, and a DC/AC converter between the SKLep and the splitter.
2) nice thing about the AC/AC version is you can insert two wattmeters in the loop to measure COP without need for any voltage/current/resistance measurements.
3)This is picky, but is it not true that it can never be 100% self starting,… you always need some energy from another source to start the SKLep up?
_________Eg in the example above, the UPS has to be charged to be able to start up the SKLep. You first have to plug the UPS into a power source to charge the UPS battery, then unplug it from that source and plug it into the SKLep AC output to make the system totally independent from any other power source.

Dear AR,
Major event in Miami today!!
Not, unfortunately, a demonstration of the 1kW device, or even that production of SKlep has started
The event is a Formula 1 race around a newly constructed circuit in the city – complete with a false marina.
Influx of 240,000 ticket holders over a few days will mean you had better avoid Miami for a bit!
A multiple World Champion has described the circuit as ‘driving a go-kart around a B&Q (major DIY store) carpark’.
regards
Greg Leonard
PS Can we expect news on the 1kW device soon, and news of production of SKlep?
Dear Mr. Rossi,
i already wrote that you still have a headstart and an advance even if you start the production with just 800,000 orders. But you could try to convince politicians of EU-countries. I guess they are very desperate as the result of their failed sanctions, which now beatback 10 times harder to the initiators of the sanctions.
So write to your local deputy/assemblyman where you are able to show a working ecat sklep. Make the demonstration simple, just a light bulb with 100 Watt and an ammeter before the ecat. So this deputy can talk with his regime and maybe they give you the needed promotion (in the form of money or recommendation).

I think it is much too complicated for E-CAT to produce 230V AC directly, unless it is strictly limited to off-grid usage.
If you want to use it as additional source of energy together with grid connection then this device needs to fulfill a lot of formal requirements, like “anti-islanding protections”, ability to synchronize with the grid or react to over-voltage. These requirements are called RfG (Requirements for Generators) and are mandatory in EU:
https://www.entsoe.eu/network_codes/rfg/
This means it would be probably much more effective to have E-CAT producing DC with voltage between 250-400V. Then you can probably connect it to one of DC inputs of typical solar inverter. Although I’m not sure if this would play out with inverter’s MPPT function. This an option for which I’m waiting as well before I put my order.

Dr. Rossi,
For my own purposes, I wanted to make a comparison of the Ecat-SKLep cost vs. current U.S. average natural gas (mBTU) and electricity (kWh) rates. I thought I’d share that here (and someone can correct me, if I miscalculated).
Background/Assumptions:
1) It’s based purely on the cost of the Ecat & does not include other costs (labor, inverters, housings…).
2) The Ecat runs full-on or full-off– i.e., there are no partial-power hours that utilize 100% service hours.
3) Conversion: 1 kWh = 3412 BTU.
**** Calculations: ****
Current Average US Utility Rates (as of May 2022):
Electricity: $0.1383/kWh
Heat (Natural Gas): $7.38/mBTU (million BTU)
Calculated Ecat-SKLep rates based on 3yr Warranty Period:
Electricity: $0.0951/kWh
Heat: $27.85/mBTU
Calculated Ecat-SKLep rates based on 11.4yr Service life (100K hours):
Electricity: $0.0250/kWh
Heat: $7.33/mBTU
**** Conclusions: ****
In comparison to average US utility rates of electricity and natural gas:
1) Electricity generation via the Ecat-SKLep is cost-effective at 3+ years.
2) Heat generation is not cost-effective at 3 years and marginally cost-effective at the full 11.4 years of service life (and less so, after factoring in other labor & equipment costs).
**** Comment: ****
The current, initial Ecat price-point is a reasonable start. High value applications, like transportation and power for remote off-grid locations, would greatly benefit at those prices. On-grid electricity users would also benefit at current Ecat pricing, although there needs to be off-the-shelf solutions for associated hardware (such as inverters that can efficiently balance load across multiple Ecat-SKLeps). Current-day natural gas applications may have to wait before they become cost-effective, but as with many new and evolving advanced technologies, that wait may not be all that long.
Best Wishes,

Thank you for your comment. I received your address in my email, and it will remain confidential. I will send you the Ecat SKLep when we will start the deliveries,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Wow, I just found out that I’m really the winner of the 100K readings lottery.
Thanks to LarryG for organizing this lottery.
And thank you Dr. Rossi for making this new kind of energy possible.
As a long time silent follower of ECAT technology and this blog I’m eagerly waiting to hold one of the SKLep in my hands.
Much more difficult to speculate on a delivery date here, though.
DrLG:
Confidential at this time,
Warm regards,

DrLG:
Please watch carefully the video of the SKLep presentation on

Dear Dr. Rossi
Re your “teaser” post to Roberto today re solar panels, any chance of getting some more info?:
Are these tests looking at
1) solar panels as a power source for start up of the SKLep, or
2) using the light generated by the SKLep plasma to illuminate the solar panel so only the solar panel provides the final output power, or
3) the solar panel augments the output from the SKLep by making use of the light generated by the plasma
4) a bit more info if none of the above are close to the mark.
5) confidential at this time 🙂
Best Regards
LarryG

Dear Dr, Rossi
You confirmed 4/24/2022 that you are working on an ECAT version that does not need an external power source. Posts are shown below.
1) Have you demonstrated that this is feasible?
______a.Eg something as simple as using an A/C in and out SKLep version, use a low wH capacity charged UPS as the power source, plug the SKLep into the UPS, plug an A/C splitter plug plugged into the SKLep A/C output (assuming the SKLep has only out outlet), and then the UPS plugged into the splitter.
______b.If you do not have a working A/C in and out SKLep prototype, use a DC/DC SKLep and insert between the UPS and SKLep a low power AC/DC converter, and a DC/AC converter between the SKLep and the splitter.
2) nice thing about the AC/AC version is you can insert two wattmeters in the loop to measure COP without need for any voltage/current/resistance measurements.
3)This is picky, but is it not true that it can never be 100% self starting,… you always need some energy from another source to start the SKLep up?
_________Eg in the example above, the UPS has to be charged to be able to start up the SKLep. You first have to plug the UPS into a power source to charge the UPS battery, then unplug it from that source and plug it into the SKLep AC output to make the system totally independent from any other power source.

Dear Dr Andrea Rossi:
Do you think that sooner or later you will show an Ecat that will make energy without any external power source ?

Jean Paul Renoir:
I agree, the recommendations are all public on Researchgate, and I noticed that thousands of the recommendations granted to the paper you cited are made by physicists, or by professionals related to Physics.
Warm Regards,

Greg Leonard,
We are working on it ( the 1 kW module, not the F1 ! )
Warm Regards,

Dear AR,
Major event in Miami today!!
Not, unfortunately, a demonstration of the 1kW device, or even that production of SKlep has started
The event is a Formula 1 race around a newly constructed circuit in the city – complete with a false marina.
Influx of 240,000 ticket holders over a few days will mean you had better avoid Miami for a bit!
A multiple World Champion has described the circuit as ‘driving a go-kart around a B&Q (major DIY store) carpark’.
regards
Greg Leonard
PS Can we expect news on the 1kW device soon, and news of production of SKlep?
Dr Rossi,
I want to congratulate for the over 100000 readings of
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
and for the thousands of recommendations made by scientists, which can surely be considered peer reviews,

Dr Rossi,
Could the Ecat SKLep technology be applied to solar panels ?
Dr Rossi,
Are you still in contact with universities for the R&D related to the Ecat ?
All the best,
