    Hi R. Hauer,

    I hope the grid version and the off-grid are the same, hopefully the SKLep 100 output DC can drive AC volts through an inverter at the same time (DC priority).
    In the Netherlands we can still recover some €’s costs of extremely expensive energy from the rest supply to the grid.
    warm regards,

    Dr Rossi,

    I’ve been thinking about how large the global market size for the E-Cat SKLep could end up being– the medium and long-term size of that market will be a major factor in the near-term challenges Leonardo faces when ramping up production.

    I’m certainly not an expert in such things, but it seems to me that the SKLep could conservatively exceed the size of the Global Solar Panel Market which was $146B in 2021 (source: http://www.grandviewresearch.com). In fact, it would be reasonable to project that the SKLep would rapidly grow to 10x that market size because of its inherent advantages over Solar Panels in many situations– for example in applications with electrical power needs where there are:

    a) mobility requirements (e.g., cars, trucks and ships),
    b) locations with limited solar access (e.g., cities & northern latitudes),
    c) 24×7 energy requirements (e.g., home heat and cooling, industrial server farms and manufacturing),
    d) remote locations where large banks of batteries would be less-than-optimal (cellphone and radio transmission towers).

    Question: 1) Have you had a market size analysis done for the E-Cat SKLep?

    Best Wishes,
    WaltC

  • Norma

    Dr Rossi:
    I think the name Ecat SKLep SSM is a good choice: the fact that the Ecat works without any connection with a power source is the core of your technology, beyond any possible doubt.

    Mr. Rossi
    I also think that E-cat gridless will be requested by customers from 90%. This will increase the attractiveness and speed of sales.
    Warm Regards J.Š.

  • Andrea Rossi

    R. Hauer:
    Better ask when we contact you for the delivery,
    Warm Regards,

  • Andrea Rossi

    Gregory Daigle:
    What about Ecat SK- SSM ? That would be quite distinctive.
    Warm regards,
    A.R.

  • Dear Dr. Rossi,

    Do you have a marketing name yet for the gridless Mini SKLep or gridless SKLep unit? May I suggest some variation of the phrase “unplugged” or UP?

    Warm regards,
    Greg

  • R.Hauer

    Dear Dr. Rossi,
    i reckon as soon the gridless ecat is available no one want to have the gridbound anymore.
    Should we change the orders to gridless or just wait and decide before the delivery when you ask for payment?
    Best regards
    R.Hauer

  • Andrea Rossi

    Ruedi:
    We are completing the tests, afterwards we will stream it; eventually, we will wait for the combined pre-orders for gridbound and gridless Ecat SKLep either 100 W or 10 W reach the target of 100 million Watts combined.

  • Rick 57

    Dear Andrea,
    you recently answered the gridless Ecat does not require an external power source to start-up.
    Is this result achieved keeping the internal AI always on and switching on/off only the output circuitry (a kind of idle system)?
    If yes, is this affecting the device expected lifetime?
    Thanks a lot if you can respond.
    Best Regards,
    Riccardo

  • Jean Pierre

    Dear Andrea.
    Please tell me why the following procedure cannot easily be set up, and also cheaply.

    Take the currently streamed SKLep 10 feeding the LED lamp and remove said lamp and its reactor but leave everything else in place. Then connect to the output of the current monitoring device a necessary number of SKLep100 with required inverter(s) to power and run continuously a reasonably powerful mains electric fan. The wiring that connects all the reactors should be clearly seen in total and the pathways easily identified by viewers over the internet to understand the system.

    A Faraday cage surrounding all the reactors will go a long way in convincing these viewers that no stray unidentified energy source would be helping to supply extra energy to this fan. You could also provide ,in the same shot, a separate package of reactors that would show how they would be neatly and efficiently boxed for the eventual purchaser, in order to do the same job.

    I really would like to have some hard evidence that a much larger number of SKLep 100 would/could run my dishwasher. This demo with the fan should be enough to convince me of this. I also think that this demonstration would help to remove your ‘struggling’ with the 1 million target pre orders. We need to see a heavier, practical work load in operation.
    I am aware at this time of writing that a gridless SKLep may be on the cards for future validation and possible acquisition by the public. A demo of this is eagerly awaited by many people. It may take some time to occur, however. In the meantime the above suggestion would be a valuable intermediate step?

    Hoping all goes well for you and the team; and that you all have a rewarding Christmas and New Year. Jean Pierre

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    you have deserved to be mentioned in every history book in the world!
    One question about your awesome invention:
    When you are ready to deliver the new off-grid ecat? (assumed the 1 million pre-orders are fulfilled)

    Best regards
    R.Brand

    Richard:
    We have not yes completed the R&D phase of the gridless system, so we cannot yet open the pre-order phase. I suggest you to proceed wuth your normal installation. When and if we will start the distribution of our system you will be able to integrate it.
    Warm Regards,

  • Trela Macs

    Those are fantastic news. May I suggest a name for the gridless SKLep? “SKLep GL” (for gridless). Can the SKLep GL also be combined so that we can create big power plants? Can the output of an array of gridless SKLeps be converted to 110 or 220V AC?

  • Richard

    Dear Mr. Rossi,
    what a great news about the non grid version.
    I have ordered about 6kw of e-cats for a new house which is in building progress.
    Normally a house have a 3 phase system and I’m wondering how to install this 6kw
    in to a 3 phase system so that it shared the power according to the load?
    Finishing stage of this new building will by May 23 and the a other question is
    to go now for a grid connection which cost additionaly or just wait for the
    non grid e-cat?
    Best regards, Richard

  • Dear Andrea,

    Thomas Henry Moray: http://www.rexresearch.com/moray2/morayrer.htm

    used a permanent magnet connected to a spring inside an electric coil. When you pulled the permanent magnet the spring was extended and when you released the permanent magnet the spring pulled the permanent magnet into the electric coil and it produced electrical energy that was used to start up his free energy generator. Can a similar invention replace the battery in the off-grid E-Cat SKLep?

  • Dear Dr. Rossi,

    According to your previous comments that there is no advantage of a grid version over a gridless version of the SKLep, why does the Leonardo company plan to make both versions?

    It seems that it would be more simple, and production cost-effective, to just make one version, the gridless version? Or am I missing something here?

    Looking forward to your gridless version data sheet and product delivery.

    Dr Rossi,

    To rephrase Frank Acland’s question slightly:

    c) In a grid-tied application, such as the home, would there be any advantage of a grid version over a gridless version of the SKLep?

    Best Wishes,
    WaltC

    Gerard McEk:
    1. yes
    2. no
    3. n.a.
    4. no
    5. the voltage can be stepped up and down at will

  • Jan Šrajer

    Mr. Rossi
    I think that when the E-cat goes into production, there will be new discoveries in the field of New Physics, inspired by your theoretical work and the departure from fission and fusion physics.

  • Gerard McEk

    Dear Andrea,
    It seems you have considerably progressed and you are able to deliver an off-grid version of the mini SKLep, for which I congratulate you.
    I hope you will allow me to ask some basic questions about this version:
    1. Is this version able to generate continuously 10 Wh/h as the grid version was able to?
    2. Does the off-grid version need some sort of energy source to start like a battery?
    3. In case of a ‘start-up’ energy source: Must the off-grid SKLep continuously be connected to this energy source?
    4. Does the off-grid version require an earthing connection?
    5. Can we assume that the output voltage of a single off-grid SKLep will be around 12 Volt?
    Thank you for answering our questions.
    Kind regards, Gerard

  • Wilfried Babelotzky

    Dear Andrea,

    does SSM for the ECAT SKLep mean that the ECAT runs continuously, i.e. is never switched off? Or can the SSM ECAT be switched off and then restarted via an external source?

    Kind regards
    Wilfried

  • Andrea Rossi

    Frank Acland:
    a) yes
    b) yes
    c) the gridless version is necessary where there is not a grid connection; besides, the gridless version works in ssm
    d) no
    Besides I want to add that anybody that has pre-ordered a grid version will have the faculty to turn the pre-order to the gridless version anytime, after we will communicate that the gridless version is available for pre-orders.
    Warm regards,
    A.R.

  • Frank Acland

    Dear Andrea,

    I have some questions regarding the no-grid version of the E-Cat SKLep if you don’t mind.

    a) Will those people who have pre-ordered the SKLep be able to change their order to the no-grid version, and if so, how?
    b) If you offer the no-grid version of the SKLep, will you continue to also offer the grid version?
    c) Would there be any advantage of a grid version over a no-grid version?
    d) Will there be any difference in cost between the grid SKLep or no-grid SKLep?

    Many thanks,

    Frank Acland

    A modern refrigerator needs less than 100 kwh per year, there are even some with below 70 kwh/a. A freezer is about 150 kwh/a (for typical european fridges/freezer). Yes, the consumption is mostly 100 watt or less, but it does not work 24 h a day.
    Because that extends the life time of the ecat (just operational time counts) it is better to be seperate to the fridge/freezer.

    Dear LarryG,

    I find the simulator recently published on ECW to be quite useful
    when making the ROI calculations.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Yet another unsolicited idea for the use of Mini-SKLep unit. Residential refrigerators. Most residential refrigerators AVERAGE 100 W of electrical consumption on a continual basis. If refrigerator manufacturers were to integrate Mini-SKLeps into their unit, they could substantially reduce the customer’s electricity bill. As proposed, 10 Mini0SKLeps could be coupled with a storage device (battery or super-capacitor) to provide the immediate (peak) power for the refrigeration subsystem of the refrigerator.

    This would save about 900 kW-hrs per year of residential energy consumption.

  • Paul Dianno

    Dear Dr. Rossi, Is still possible to launch the ecat this year ? What Is the probability for Plan A (start selling) or Plan B (unknown) ? Best regards

  • Andrea Rossi
