    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Yet another SKLep SSM application

    The Flynano Electric Microlight is an ultralight, single seat aircraft, that takes off and lands on water (no wheels for runways, etc.) It has a 20 kW electric motor and a battery limited range of 40 km. It has a flight speed of 140 kph at 75% power and an operational ceiling of 3 km. It has a empty weight of 70 kg and a maximum weight of 200 kg.

    https://newatlas.com/flynano-microlight-aircraft/18411/

    Conceptually, the battery system could be replaced by an equivalent 20 kW SKLep SSM (or as a supplement to the battery system) so the range could be extended. Imagine a flight over the Missouri River in the USA. It has a length of 3,943 km. The Missouri River could be flown in about 30 hours, not counting occasional water landings for pilot breaks.

    Between 1,500 and 2,000 SKLep SSM 10W units would be required, depending on battery capacity. 1,500 units assume 75% cruise power level with the battery supplying additional power during take-off and climbs, then recharging during the cruise portion.

    Because it is an ultralight, no pilot license is required and the aircraft regulations are minimum.

    Dear Andrea,
    I really liked your joke about trolls. Humor belongs to smart people, in fact I never see any in troll posts. Whatever test you do they will always argue. You go your own way. Trolls aren’t the real problem, but they have to lose with your invention.
    Hope to see a good demo.

  • Italo R.

    Dr. Rossi,
    You are asked to accurately and reliably measure the remaining battery power at the end of the ride to avoid possible tricks.
    This is a perfectly useless or, at least, superfluous measure.
    Indeed, if:
    1) – the weight of the car is approximately the same as a car without an Ecat, which excludes the presence of hidden batteries (which, as we know, are very heavy) and:
    2) – The car has been driving for at least ten hours, accumulating a thousand km

    The only conclusion is that the Ecat has supplied all the necessary energy, and that therefore any measurement is useless or superfluous.
    Faced with this objective conclusion, anything trolls or “skeptics” can come up with is useless.

    So, in summary, only these two points are enough:
    A)- Weigh the two cars at the start of the race
    B)- Run much longer than the range of an EV car without Ecat.

    Kind Regards,
    Italo R.

  • Gerard McEk

    Dear Andrea,
    The Ecat SKLep EV charging unit will be very attractive for EV riders. You said it will be suitable for all types.
    1. Do you intend to also mass produce these units?
    2. Would that be standard units that can be placed in the trunk or the frunk?
    3. Will the weight be such that they can be taken out of the car and be used to power the owners home (e.g. via an in-home inverter)?
    Thanks for answering our questions.
    Kind regards, Gerard

  • Alessandro Coppi

    Hi Andrew,
    I already wrote this issue weeks ago but it was spammed, however this is a point that needs to be considered as skeptics will say at the end of the test, that it would be easy to manipulate the battery gauge to indicate full even if they are empty.
    Why not extend the test range instead of measuring the remaining charge?
    Best regards

  • Hi Rossi!

    I am so looking foward for the EV test.
    But just one thing I think you should do
    to keep the Trolls quite, weight both cars
    before the run and after.
    The Ecat EV should of course be a little bit heavier but
    not so muche that there could be an extra batteri pack hidden or somekinde of fuelbased energy source.

    Dear Andrea Rossi
    An good electric car that normally travels 400 km on a full charge. If it goes at 15 km/h or less can go for more than 24 hours. At what speed will the October EV race be run?

    Koen Vandewalle:
    That depends on the power of the Ecat; we won’t do it, because it is not the point; besides, all the differently intelligent trolls disperately enamored of us would write romances about what was hidden inside the caravan, doubtless abundantly supplied by double and triple bottoms, and what was running through the cables hidden in the hook between the EV and the caravan: a true fascism of cables.

  • Martyn Aubrey

    Dear Dr Rossi,

    You answered “Yes” to Calle H when he asked “1. Make the “E-Cat EV box” available to all EV brands?”.

    Q1. Is the Ecat power module positioned directly between the EV battery pack and the rest of the car’s electrical system by simply disconnecting the standard EV power cable connectors, and then inserting a two-way Ecat power connector between the two parts of the electrical system?

    Q2. Would the Ecat power module also work with existing hybrid-electric vehicles?

    I wish yourself and your team all success with the EV demonstration. It will be world changing.

    Cruising Regards,
    Martyn Aubrey

  • Koen Vandewalle

    Dear Mr. Andrea Rossi,

    During these holiday times, we see a lot of people taking their cars with caravans on vacation on our roads. Typically, these are large, powerful cars with internal combustion engines. However, this poses a problem with standard EVs as their driving range is halved when towing a caravan. Moreover, people prefer to travel quite far on their vacations.

    Do you think it is possible to tow a caravan with the demo EV for 12 hours?

    Kind regards,
    Koen

  • Sergio Carlos

    Dr Rossi,
    If you will give evidence of an EV that runs uninterruptly for 12 hours and at the end of 12 hours has still the battery fully charged, it will be a fact of momentous importance.
    Godspeed,
    Sergio Carlos

    Dear Mr. Rossi,
    in which outside temperature range can the ecat work without problems

  • Wilfried

    Dear Andrea,

    are you concentrating exclusively on preparing for the October event, or is there some time left over for other projects, such as further miniaturisation or increasing the power-to-weight ratio?
    Can you sweeten the waiting time with small progress reports?
    An E-Cat as a replacement for a AAA 1.5V battery would be brilliant!

    Best Regards
    Wilfried

  • Calle H

    Dear Dr. Rossi. Can you tell us someting about your plan after the October E-Cat EV demonstration. Is your plan (besides the 1 mil order threshold):
    1. Make the “E-Cat EV box” available to all EV brands?
    2. Make the E-Cat available to us who have placed orders a long time ago?
    3. Something else?
    Kind regards,

    Dear Andrea,

    We’re all very excited for the October EV demo.
    It sounds like you’re on the right track.
    Speaking of tracks, will the test happen:

    1. On public roads?
    2. On private roads?
    3. On a trace track?
    4. Something else?

    Warm regards,

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    Stunts apart, the Porsche Taycan has a declared autonomy of 327 km; anyway, we are not going to make any record, we are going to give evidence of the fact that the EV powered by an Ecat starts with the battery full and after 12 hours of race has the battery still full, while the same model of car in competition, at the same speed, after a couple of hours stops to run because its battery is completely discharged.

  • Franz Matzke

    Dear Mr. Rossi,

    I have been reading this blog from the beginning and congratulate You and your team for this extraordinary invention. With autonomy, there are of course many more possibilities. An EV could become a no-brainer if the financial industry and politicians play along …

    My question: you are in fact developing a generator that can be used just as immobile (for a house). If it works as it is supposed to, the step to a home power plant is not far. There should be interest from companies that offer (emergency) power generators. Are you approaching them as well or are you relying on advertising by the autonomous EV?

    Thank you very much for your answer.
    Blessed greetings
    Franz M.

  • Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    From Wikipedia – “On 18 August 2019, a pre-series model of the electric Porsche Taycan covered the distance of 3425 km in 24 hours.” This corresponds to an average speed of 142 km per hour. The World Record for an electric vehicle was set at the Nardo circular track in Italy.

    If you continued the 12-hour demonstration with an additional 12 hours, you could potentially set world distance records for an electric car.

    The Nardo “neutral speeds” by track lanes are:

    Lane # Neutral Speed (km per hour) 24-hour Range (km)
    1 100 2,400
    2 140 3,360
    3 190 4,560
    4 240 5,760

    Thoughts?

  • Italo R.

    Dr. Rossi,
    If I may ask: what data will be shown during the test of the two cars?
    It would be helpful to have at least the following:
    1) – Timer in hh:mm:ss format
    2) – EV-1 car speed
    3) – EV-2 car speed
    4) – Instantaneous residual charge of the EV-1 car battery
    5) – Instantaneous residual charge of the EV-2 car battery
    6) – Obviously, a continuous and fixed screen of the two racing cars

    My best regards,
    Italo R.

    Dear Andrea,

    the E-Cat is a quite incredible technology.
    An example calculation:
    With the E-Cat, electricity can be generated for 0.03 EUR/kWh.
    To remove the amount of CO2 from the combustion of one litre of diesel fuel from the air with CCS, you need 1.3 to 4 kWh of electricity.
    If we conservatively assume 4 kWh, then the CO2 clean-up of one litre of diesel costs 0.12 EUR.
    For this price, all combustion engines could be operated in a CO2-neutral way.
    Besides the switch to purely electrical energy use, this would be a groundbreaking success in combating climate change.

    I keep my fingers crossed that the EV demonstration will be a huge success!

    Best Regards
    Wilfried

  • Italo R.

    Dr. Rossi,
    This is really a great idea! I suggest (but of course you’ve already thought about it) that on the sides of the Ecat’s powered EV be written in large letters “POWERED BY ECAT” or something like that.

    Best Regards,
    Italo R.

    Jean Paul Renoir:
    That’s exactly what we will do, and the two EV will start with the batteries full.

  • Claudio Varotto

    Buongiorno Dr. Rossi, perdoni la domanda forse banale ma dal momento che dovrò decidere in merito all’ubicazione di 40 moduli da 100 watt, per ragioni di spazio ho necessità di sapere se questi possono operare in qualsiasi posizione senza comprometterne il regolare funzionamento. La ringrazio per la risposta e Le porgo cordiali saluti.

    Hello Dr. Rossi, forgive the perhaps trivial question but since I will have to decide on the location of 40 100 watt modules, for reasons of space I need to know if these can operate in any position without compromising their regular operation. Thank you for your reply and best regards.

    Claudio Varotto

  • Jean Paul Renoir

    Dr Rossi,
    I suggest that the Ecat powered EV will compete with an identical EV, both starting with the batteries charged in the same measure, which is easy to certify, because there are instrumentations that can certify the status of the charge; eventually, the two EVs should start at the same time and at the same speed, distanced at least 200 meters to avoid the influence of the air vortex behind the car ahead; obviously the EV without the Ecat at some point will stop with the batteries exhausted, while the Ecat will continue to march: that will be good. If at the end of the test the battery of Ecat powered EV will be still completely charged, that would be great.
    Godspeed,
    JPR

  • Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Regarding the EV demonstration:

    1. Has your team been able to sustain the EV battery system State of Charge while driving the test vehicle at the intended speed?
    2. Has your team mastered controlling the EV battery system controls so that the battery is not overcharged?
    3. Will the charging of the EV battery system be controlled manually or will it be controlled automatically (without driver intervention or adjustment)?

    @Rudiger:

    Please note that by connecting 19 pcs 100W/12V in serial you get 1900W/228V DC voltage but
    I am quite sure you are instead looking for 1900W/228V AC grid voltage.

    A factory-assembled unit with an inverter according to your direct need should be the right solution for you.

  • Rüdiger

    Thanks for the answer, Dr. Rossi.
    You wrote 2- 2 ? I reckon 2 KW ?
    Best regards
    Rüdiger
    P.S. I really guess with the suggested price list of several assembled boxes with ecat you could much more pre-orders.
    I have pre-ordered together with a few friends and also they would order more if there would be more explanations and examples to order.

  • Andrea Rossi

    Ruediger:

  • Rüdiger

    Dear Dr. Rossi,
    how many of the 100 Watt ecat ssm do i have to order, to get (assembled) an output of 230 V – without having an inverter? (just to avoid inverters because of their shorter operational lifetime than the 100,000 hours of the ecat ssm)
    And how much Watt it will then produce?

    Is my calculation correct: 19 pieces of 100 W ecat should reach 228 Volt. So do they produce an output of 1900 Watt? Without the need of an inverter?

    Sorry for that stupid question, but i am no electrician and school is decades ago.
    Maybe you could create a price list with several assembled ecat in a box to make pre-orders easier for amateurs like me?
    Best regards
    Rüdiger
