    Dr. Rossi:

    Does Leonardo Corp. Have the manufacturing capabilities in place to immediately start producing E-cats when the one million unit order goal is achieved? Will manufacturing be an in-house production line or done using a contractor facilities. Can you provide the current manufacturing readiness level (MRL) for in-house or contractor capabilities. See this website for definition Of MRLs:

    By using some systems engineering, there might be an easier way for you to solve this exploding Lithium ion battery issue and avoid using a steel box and extensive shielding to protect both the NGU EV LENR reactor application and the EV battery from expulsive failure during the demo. Knowing that the Renault Twizy electric vehicle uses a lithium-ion battery:
    
    A lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery does not utilize oxygen release as does the lithium ion battery type in its active chemistry, which is why it is considered very safe as it is less likely to burn even if damaged, unlike the lithium-ion battery type that does contain oxygen in their cathode materials.
    
    Chemical formula:
    The chemical formula for lithium iron phosphate is LiFePO4, where the “PO4” group is a phosphate ion containing only phosphorus and oxygen, which is tightly bound and does not readily release oxygen.
    
    Safety advantage:
    This lack of readily available oxygen in the LFP chemistry means that even if the battery is damaged and exposed to air, it is less likely to ignite or catch fire.
    
    You can mitigate this lithium battery explosion issue by interfacing with this safe fireproof lithium battery type as follows:
    
    What is the safest lithium battery?
    
    LiFePO4 Vs Lithium Ion & Other Batteries – Why LiFePO4 is #1
    
    LiFePO4 batteries are the safest of the lithium batteries, because they will not catch fire, and won’t even overheat. Even if you puncture the battery it will not catch fire. This is a massive upgrade over other lithium batteries, which can overheat and catch fire.
    
    Many electric cars use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, including:
    
    Tesla: Tesla switched to LFP batteries for its standard range models in 2021, starting with China-made vehicles and expanding to the US in 2022.
    
    Ford: Ford plans to use LFP batteries in European Mustang Mach-Es and select F-150 markets in 2024.
    
    Fisker: Fisker Ocean’s base configuration, the Sport, uses LFP batteries.
    
    Rivian: Rivian will use LFP batteries in its Electric Delivery Vans for Amazon and then switch over in its Standard Range trucks.
    
    GM: GM’s revamped Chevrolet Bolt EV will use LFP batteries to help cut costs.
    
    BMW: BMW will start using LFP batteries in 2025.
    
    Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz also uses LFP batteries.
    
    LFP batteries are a type of lithium-ion battery that are commonly used in EVs, home powerbanks, and cell phones. They are made with lithium-iron-phosphate cathodes and are commonly abbreviated to LFP batteries.
    
    LFP batteries are becoming more popular because they are made with commonly available substances like iron and phosphate, which insulates the cells from the rising costs of other metals used in EV batteries.
    
    Since the NGU LENR reactor is a good fit to power Stellantis EVs the following is appropriate:
    
    Stellantis uses multiple types of lithium battery chemistries in its electric vehicles (EVs), including:
    
    NCM
    
    Most of Stellantis’ current models use nickel, cobalt, and manganese (NCM) chemistry.
    
    LFP
    
    Stellantis plans to use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in its European EVs. LFP batteries are lighter, more efficient, and have a longer cycle life than other lithium-ion batteries.
    
    Lithium-sulfur
    
    Stellantis is developing lithium-sulfur batteries with Lyten, a Silicon Valley-based company. Lyten’s batteries are designed to have:
    
    More than twice the energy density of lithium-ion batteries and a 60% lower carbon footprint than today’s best-in-class batteries with Improved stability, efficiency, and energy density
    
    Solid-state
    
    Stellantis has invested in Factorial, a startup working on solid-state cells.
    
    Sodium-ion
    
    Stellantis has invested in Tiamat, a startup working on sodium-ion batteries that don’t use lithium.

    It seems prudent to me to test each lithium battery type for safety so that the steel case is optional for those battery types that show destructive potential.

    If a lithium battery type proves to be safe through destructive testing in interfacing with the NGU reactor, then that type of battery does not require the optional steel case.

    The designers of an EV will make a choice to include the most appropriate battery type that meets the requirements of their design which includes the use of the NGU either with or without the steel case based on safety and weight requirements tradeoffs.

    In summary, it may be best to offer the steel case as an option based on lithium battery type.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Let us assume the major areas of the eCat NGU energy production are transportation, energy production, and heating. You have a good demonstration in the area of transportation. Heating should be straightforward demonstration. Heat something for a sufficiently long time to preclude chemical processes considering the mass of the eCat NGU units.

    The energy production has some alternatives. One might be solar panel supplementation. Measure the power both day and night. Or, you might skip the solar panels and go straight to conversion to battery and/or generating power into the grid.

    The off-grid makes the most sense to me as there would be no grid power that the opposition could claim provided the generated power. There are plenty of off-grid suppliers to choose from. For example, power a house for a week using power stored in the batteries and the batteries refilled from eCat NGU units. Run it long enough to demonstrate more energy provided then stored in the batteries. Start with a low State Of Charge like you did with the car.

    Thoughts?

    Would it be theoretically possible to completely eliminate the battery in an electric car and power it only with the ECAT?
    best wishes for your work

  • @ GAVINO MAMIA
    Gavino Mamia you made a really nice video specifying details that are not present in the other videos on the ECAT test. I am also Italian and have been following Rossi for 15 years, but I would ask you to translate (even the GOOGLE translator is fine now) the text of your slides into English because in Italian you will not have the follow-up that the ECAT deserves. As you know, the keywords to find the video are very important, I would suggest among others: energy generator, ambient energy harvesting, battery charger, zero point energy.
    Thank you

    Dr. Rossi,
    And now, what will happen? We are all in eager anticipation for the commercialization to finally begin. You mentioned that there are contacts/contracts in place, which is promising.
    The power supply of the Twizy battery is certainly a prototype that still requires further studies, additional tests, and certifications. But the path is set.
    However, you already have products ready and mature for immediate market use. These could easily be marketed right now. The demand would certainly exceed production.
    I am well aware of the one million pre-orders limit. But I don’t see effective advertising in the media. It’s only discussed in restricted circles on forums and blogs, and the videos on YouTube are practically invisible, drowned out by millions of other videos.
    If you truly want to make your work known to the world, you should immediately launch a MASSIVE information campaign. You would receive substantial orders in no time.
    In my opinion, the current information campaign is too weak, unable to unlock the situation.
    Surely you have reasons (that we do not know) that make you proceed so cautiously.
    But it’s a real shame. Life goes on and we grow older and die; the world is full of immense problems and urgently needs your technology to survive.

    My Best Regards,
    Italo R.

    Good work

  • Daniel G. Zavela

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    It would be helpful, I believe, for you to show at least a block diagram of what is inside the 100kg box as this should not give away any of your proprietary information. This may counter arguments made by skeptics. Would you consider posting such a diagram on your website?

    Well, cats are perceived as pleasant and cuddly.
    The e.cat versions in the kilowatt range mean a lot of power, though.
    Why not just use something like “big dog” or “strong dog”
    as a description.
    Best wishes to you!

    Heating.
    Automotive needs much more work: do not forget that the Ecat system of the Latina test is a prototype and that to reach all the necessary certifications is necessary a long path. For the heating we already have all the necessary safety certifications.

    Dear Mr. Rossi,
    congratulations to your successful test in Latina!
    Have you ever considered making your invention open source and free to humanity?
    I am following the topic of free energy/zero point energy for over 30 years and have seen many inventors come and go.
    The problem is that the “powers that be” won’t let it happen if you go the commercial route. I can guarantee you that! I have seen it happen far too many times to other inventors with similar claims.
    Either you will go broke (best case) or you will disappear together with your invention (worst case).
    The only chance you have is by making your invention free and open source for everyone. Then it can’t be stopped. Otherwise you will go down in history as another failed attempt. Mark my words.
    You don’t know who you are dealing with and can’t outsmart these people.
    I wish you all the best and hope for humanity that you are making the right decision!
    Best regards,
    Hans

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Regarding a demonstration of a eCat NGU power heater…

    I remember the early demonstrations of boiling water and the trolls arguing where the water lost was only steam or included hot water.

    With a nominal 3kW power source, you should be able to generate a lot of hot water (with steam or not) and use mass loss to demonstrate energy production. Maybe with an automatic, metered refill.

    Maybe a constant flow measuring the mass flow rate, the input and output temperatures? For example, input temperature of 20 degC, an output temperature of 60 to 80 degC, and the mass flow rate computed for a 3-kW heater. Then let it run for a week. Both analog and digital temperature measurements. A constant rate pump and the receiving vessel that automatically dumps when a certain collect mass is received. Data collection on all events. Then real-time show the data results.

    Thoughts?

    Dear Dr. Rossi, having always followed and believed in your technology, since first learning of it, and also a believer in the original cold fusion results of Drs Fleischman and Pons etc, it seems that now is a fortuitous time for your E-Cat to be revealed. The main reason is the threat to world oil supplies through conflict in the Middle East, etc, as well as ongoing ecological issues. It is to your eternal credit that when a reader suggested military applications for your technology, you replied that you were not interested in such uses. The reverse will likely be very true.

    Dear Andrea Rossi
    Those who, like me, have been following you for 15 years and already have white hair, perhaps would finally like to be able to make a morning coffee with their moka, heating it on a resistance burner, like my grandmother had, but powered by the ecat. I can’t wait to receive my ecat orders and make my dream come true. In this regard, it occurred to me that “the heater test” could be made up of a resistance burner, a Neapolitan moka, and a cup of coffee, with boiling water bubbling from the spout and making a delicious black liquid come down. The triumph of the ecat and of Italianness. Not only that!! Since there will surely be someone who will try to say that inside the moka there are lithium batteries that power the resistance, please, this time, show that you fill the coffee maker with water yourself. Not only that!! Power the electric stove with the same ecat that you locked in the safe in the ev test. even if the shielding would not be necessary, but this time keep the box open so that everyone realizes that inside there is only ecat. If you are afraid of revealing secrets, I think it is possible to mask with some artificially generated pixels, every detail of the interior that you do not want to make known. It would be great. As they say in Italian “Prendere due piccioni con una fava”. thanks

  • Italo R.

    Dr. Rossi,
    after the exciting demonstration on the two electric cars, and in anticipation of further demonstrations, I would like to propose the following:

    Power a toy drone or something more professional and fly it in a fixed position inside a room (this is a possible function in many models). Let it fly for days and weeks, framed by a camera together with a timer.

    Kind Regards,
    Italo R.

    The Renault Twizy is a two-seat electric car designed and marketed by Renault.

    August 8, 1908, Wilbur Wright made his first public flight at the Mulsanne Straight race course, five miles south of Le Mans, France. On September 27, 2024 (116 years later), ECat-NGU equipped Twizy made its run at the Il Sagittario race course Latina, Italy. We are living in interesting times!

    Congratulations to you Andrea Rossi!
