Have your have you tested your devices in a vacuum?
Will they function if isolated from any ground if they have an interior grounding mass? And what is the approximate mass needed to make one of the devices function?
Hello Dr. Rossi
Can you tell us how fast the cars will go during the demonstration?
A – equal to or greater than 80 Mph to force the control car to stop for lack of electricity more quickly.
B – equal to or less than 50 Mph to be able to complete the demonstration with the E-Cat car 100% charged

Hello Mr. Rossi,
Has a location and date for the test drive in October already been set?
If not, when will the date be announced and where will it be published?
Is it still possible to apply to take part, and if so, what is the deadline for the selection process?

I was curious about learning more about the Taycan, which I assume is the type of vehicle(s) being considered for this year’s demonstration – a ‘race’ that hopefully, everyone can ‘win’! Here is a link describing more about the Taycan.
Martian Power
“To effectively run a habitat on Mars and create fuel, about 40 kW would be needed, so NASA would likely send four to five of the (10 kW) reactors to the planet’s surface.”
Perhaps something you should keep in mind. Building a small, 10kW output unit using 4 or 5 3KW NGU devices, with some of the 12kW to 15kw used for environmental control and internal control, theoretically, should be trivial.
Whether on Mars, or beyond, solar power will not work because the solar illumination level is too low and the transportation cost is too high. A power source with nuclear energy density is needed.
The Spacex Starship will transport 100 tons (or more) to Mars. How many 3 kW NGU units could be transported within the 100-ton payload limit?
“October 19 (2023) marks the last day of operations for Norway’s only coal power plant. Providing heat and electricity to Longyearbyen since 1983, the plant was also the world’s northernmost, at 78° North.
The plant produced 11 MW electricity and 20 MW thermal heat. CO2 emissions will be halved from today’s 70,00o tons annually with the transfer from coal to diesel. The cut equals emissions from about 20,000 cars.
Locals are invited to the plant to mark the official shutdown. “This marks the end of a chapter in our history,” Svalbard Energy writes in the invitation.
Environmentalists have long criticized Norway for mining coal and running a coal power plant at Svalbard as the Arctic is warming in times of climate crisis.
Coal means more to Longyearbyen than just being a source of local energy. The town was established, and named after, John Munro Longyear, whose Arctic Coal Company started mining there in 1906. The Norwegians took over the mining in 1916 and coal was the cornerstone of Norway’s activities at Svalbard until the 1990s when tourism and science started to grow.”
Could not eCat technology be employed here? Generating 33 MW of electricity – 11 MW for electrical needs, and 22 MW for heating, should easily be within your capabilities.
An agricultural tractor comes in several power variants – from 25hp to 85hp *roughly 20kW to 70kW).
During certain times of the year, they are used for long hours per day, but mostly are unused during the reminder of the year.
How about an electric farm tractor with a removable eCat power suitcase. During the busy times, the suitcase powers the tractor. The other times, the suitcase powers the farmer’s house and other fixed needs. During the “busy” times, the farmer relies on grid power to supplement his electrical needs.
In summary – electric tractor will last longer, decrease the farm’s annual grid electrical consumption, with possible sell-back of excess power to the Grid.
In ‘2024-09-02 13:27’ Zimmermann writes :-
‘I would not like it to pay 30,000 Euro for integral ecat and cannot use it at home.’
The solution that Zimmermann suggests is ‘… if it is loaded you can carry the ecat into the house and use it there’. The better solution is VtoH or VtoG as described in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-grid. Such portable ecats in a car or in a house would be insecure and vulnerable to theft. There is an insurance aspect as well.
Dear Andrea, I remember speaking with you about the need for an earth connection for the system to function and I now understand that the problem has been solved with a “proportional mass”. I congratulate you for your solution and I wonder then if in the case of applications furniture, can electrical conduction with water be sufficient for a boat (the hull if it is metal or a small immersed chain if it is plastic) or sliding contact with conductive rubber as was used many years ago to discharge electrostatic charges in cars?
Dr. Rossi,
With respect to portable applications of the Ecat and “proportional mass”– to better understand its application-
If I wanted to utilize a 1kW Ecat in a portable power station application for hiking and camping, is it your current thinking that:
1) The proportional mass could be built into the 1kW Ecat device?
2) The proportional mass could be built into the power station assembly that incorporates the 1kW Ecat device?
3) No proportional mass would be needed and the end-user would be required to pound a conductive rod into the earth to provide an earth-ground for the 1kW portable power station?
Hello Mr. Rossi,
the most easy way for car producers would be a charge plug inside of the trunk. Everytime you pause at the Autobahn or in a carport at home you can load the car with the ecat in the trunk. And if it is loaded you can carry the ecat into the house and use it there. I would not like it to pay 30,000 Euro for integral ecat and cannot use it at home.
And people who do not drive much can use a petrol car and refuel with synthetic fuel, made with the ecat and Co2.
Best regards
Zimmermann
With 10 kW, frequent drivers would have an infinite range. But it’s true that 8 hours of driving per day with a 2-hour charging break in between would be sufficient for dimentionalization.
I’m also thinking of vacation trips through Europe.
If a BEV can already drive slowly with 2 kW, 2 kW would probably also be sufficient. If necessary, you could still drive to the next fast charging station.
Why is so much attention paid to an EV with 10 kW Ecat??
In my opinion, this is very expensive and not at all profitable.
Example:
– 20000 km./year
– Consumption : 14 kW./100 km. = 2800 kWh/year.
– Cost 2800 kWh at 0.39$ = 1092$
– Cost Ecat 10 kW = 24900$
If you pay 24900$ to save 1092$/year, then you have to drive that Ecat for 22.8 years to save 0$ !
An EV and its battery don’t last that long!
The cost of 24900$ is already more than 50% of the cost of the EV !
Who is going to actually pay for the extra cost of 10 kW Ecat?
A much better solution is, for example, to connect 1 kW Ecat to a (micro) inverter on the grid.
Cost 2490$
Yield : 24 kWh/day – 8760 kWh/year.
Together with your PV installation (if you already have one) >95% of your consumption will be free !
Yes, I took the example of our first EV. It was easier to calculate with 1.5 kWh/10km. In fact the car takes a little bit more. We have another EV which consumes about 2.0 kWh/10km
You wrote: “consumes 14 kWh at 90 km/h (56 Mph), 18 kWh at 100 km/h (62 Mph) and 25 kWh at 130 km/h (81 Mph) in normal conditions” That is not correct you also must add distance, like “kWh/10km” Or just the power in kW:s!
Hello Mr. Mats Heijkenskjold
Your car really looks very economical in terms of electrical energy. My car, which is four years old, consumes 14 kWh at 90 km/h (56 Mph), 18 kWh at 100 km/h (62 Mph) and 25 kWh at 130 km/h (81 Mph) in normal conditions (weather, luggage,…)
For total autonomy you would need a generator with a minimum power of 33 Kw.
Kind regards

There are several levels of complexity is charging EV.
The most demanding level is charging while the EV is in motion. One must handle regenerative braking, EV battery system monitoring, and course EV battery system charging. Variables include speed, road inclination, load, and temperature. It is a difficult problem.
A much lower level (easier) situation is charging while the EV is parked. Then the options are direct battery system charging (faster) or use the onboard charger (slower).
