Streetlight power. In 10 years of continuous operation (24/7) there are 87,600 hours. Streetlights are on 12 hours per day – either controlled by a central location or using an ambient light sensor. Modern streetlights consume between 30 and 250W of power when operating. So, 1 – 3 SKLeps would be sufficient to power the streetlight when it is illuminating.
Consider 1 – 3 SKLeps, applying power to a DC/DC converter to reach approximately 36VDC, which drives a micro-inverter outputting approximately 300W continuously. During the dark times (night), it would power the streetlight – excess power flows back into the electrical grid. During daylight hours, all the power flows back into the electrical grid. More electrical grid power is normally consumed during daytime hours — air conditioning, human work hours, etc. The municipality could sell the excess power to the electrical grid supplier. The micro-inverter protects the electrical grid in times of grid power failure.
Assuming a cost of $0.10 per kiloWatt-hour, approximately 300W of electrical power produced and 87,600 hours the cost saving/income would be $8,760 over the ten-year lifetime.
Have you contacted any manufacturers of stop light controls? I expect that they could be a very large market for SKLep devices. The SKLep are small and probably could be incorporated into the existing cabinets. A city would save money in electric costs plus with the addition of a small rechargeable battery the installation could provide continuous stop light operation during short power outages.
Interesting to hear about ‘Big Buyers’ testing the SKLep independently following signing an agreement.
1) Was the agreement to keep their test results confidential?
2) Did they agree to place orders if the testing met certain standards?
3) So far, have these big buyers been satisfied with the performance of the SKLep?
Dear Dr Andrea Rossi,
The fact that your theoretical work has reached more than 100000 readings on Researchgate, with most of the readings focused on http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
speaks loud about the quality of your work, especially because this stunning achievement has been reached in the context of a confirmatory experimental development.
All the best,
SMG
Dr Rossi,
Did some of the big buyers of the Ecat SKLep make independent tests of an Ecat SKLep unit already, waiting for the deliveries ?
Thank you if you can answer.
Ruby
Dear Dr Andrea Rossi,
Thank you for the magnificent video of the presentation of the Ecat SKLep: I found the video link on e-catworld.com
After watching the video I read the paper http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
and it is moving to read the theoretical concepts that became reality as shown in the video.
By the way, congratulations for the over 100000 readings of your papers on Researchgate

dear Mr. Rossi, have you read the last paper of Francesco Celani on LENR-AHE?
ANV8 HOPE Assisi 2021, December 17-19, 2021 on the site: http://www.francescocelanienergy.org/
what do you think about? are you happy with the results they have achieved?
As an ancillary question to that posed by Larry G, I found that Italy gets most of its natural gas imports from Russia via pipelines across Ukraine and from southeastern Europe. Natural gas sent by pipeline from Russia accounts for about 44% of Italy’s natural gas imports. I too hope that diplomacy will prevail eventually, but now that sanctions have been imposed against Russia and the Nord Stream pipeline is on hold, Germany and other countries may find themselves competing with Italy for its non-Russian supplied gas, and it is possible that gas pipelines across Ukraine that go to Italy might be damaged if hostilities occur or capacity could be reduced by Russia.
Knowing of your fondness for your country of origin (and by extension, all of the EU), might any of these international events influence you to:
1) accelerate development of your distribution network in Europe?
2) plan for additional production capacity in Europe?
DrLG:
Thank you for your insight and your suggestions,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
P.S.
I am still convinced that diplomacy will prevail in the Ukranian crisis.
Recent world events has prompted me to beseech your reconsideration of production start timing, specifically start now not only when you reach 1000K pre-orders.
I think the following arguments are compelling reasons to reconsider. There may be compelling reasons I and fellow Ecat enthusiasts are not privy to, for instance, your commitments to your investors, but maybe these stealth reasons can be renegotiated or otherwise changed.
There are three main reasons for the review that I see…the world desperately needs this technology, the financial risk of starting now is essentially identical to starting at 1000K, and reaching 1000K orders is now at risk. Please see the following discussion points.
————————————
1) The world desperately needs the SKLep technology. Decisions are being made right now around the world based on the current world energy economy and supply (especially non-renewable energy resources) with no inkling of the technology you offer. The political decision makers are in the dark. News of the SKLep is not getting to them because of the adverse environment created by so called scientists that have egos so big that if something does not fit their personal view of the universe must be wrong. But even if they know of the SKLep, they cannot add the existence of the SKLep to their decision making process without absolute clear proof it works and is scalable to HUGE production volumes.
And of course, all the giant non-renewable energy corporations will/are trying to keep this technology in obscurity.
Examples follow, there are lots!
_____1.a) You can see this in the following quote from Russia on today’s invasion of the Ukraine:
Ukraine live updates: Germany halts key pipeline project designed to double the flow of Russian gas (msn.com)
“Welcome to the new world where Europeans would soon have to pay 2,000 euros per 1,000 cubic meters!” said Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia and former Russian President, regarding Germany’s halting the certification process for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Russia, a major suppler of oil and gas to the EU, was hoping their supply blackmail would help deter/limit action by the EU re their invasion. If the SKLep was introduced 10 years ago, the strength of this threat would have been greatly diminished.
_____1.b) Wasted investments: Ridiculously huge investments in other attempts of developing environmentally friendly energy sources such as fusion are being wasted. Plans are being put in place to go back to nuclear power plants. Dams and pipelines for supply are being built and planned for the future.
——————————-
2___ The financial risk analysis for starting production now is essentially identical to starting at 1,000K.
_________2.a You have promises to consider buying the product once you make it available for shipping and provide additional critical product information. Your customer base has made ZERO financial commitment to you. This does not change when you hit the current target.
_________2.b Your current business model appears to be to ramp production up and deliver the first million pieces in a period of months, my estimate ~4 months, based on the small hints you have provided here and there.
_________2.c Because of the ramp, there will be LOTS of press about the product well before you can ship all the first 800K. Once someone has the SKLep in their hands, able to see for themselves it works, there can no longer be any denial that this disruptive technology exists and will change the world, hopefully with a net improvement. This will be quick. Social media will explode with test and breakdown videos. News supply will finally do some real press coverage. If you ask, many of your ECAT enthusiast followers will help spread the word for you as well, even if they have not received their SKLep yet.
_________2.d If this press coverage is POSITIVE because you have little to no early production or design problems that only show up when you produce in volume, you will soon start seeing new orders that will keep your production line flowing. This will not significantly change for 800K or 1000K pre-orders.
_________2.e If this press coverage is NEGATIVE because you have significant early production or design problems, your pre-orders will be canceled in large numbers with no financial penalty for the pre-order customer and no income for you for those orders. This will happen regardless the number of pre-orders. You will have to recover, fix your problems, and get started again.
2___ Your pre-order order rate has bottomed out, probably now less than 1K/day versus peak of 33K per day. Maybe even less than 500 per day. Hitting the 1000K target this year is now at significant risk.
—————————————
If the above arguments cannot sway you start production soon, then please consider immediately changing your marketing strategy. For instance per my post earlier this week, go from passive to active and target customers you would like to do business with who will be making a huge business mistake if they do not start incorporating the SKLep technology into their business strategy.
And/or go after non-profit organization funding to provide the gap of your cost for an additional 200K units. (Not your selling price). There are many insanely rich charities now, technology funded, to consider contacting. Then the financial risk is indeed identical to starting now. Your additional funding would of course have to be negotiated with no commitments to company equity and you probably would have to commit to paying it back when you can because of selling the gap 200K at a later date.
Dear Dr. Rossi,
Have you considered informing Ms. Ursula van der Leiden that you have an invention that will solve the European energy supply problem ?
Kind regards,
Calle H
For your consideration re servicing a SKLep Plant….
In your response to Brokeeper time stamp 2022-01-21 03:40 you indicated that a red LED indicator light would tell the user if any one SKLep has failed.
In a plant this would be a daunting task…there are 10,000 SKLep to visually scan looking for a failed unit if you assume 100W per SKLep max power.
The automotive industry has an extremely mature, cost effective solution for communicating the status of the distributed electronic modules in a car, for more background information see for instance,
Piggy-backing on this mature technology would seem to be something to consider. It is not expensive…
there are Programmable Logic Devices surface mount components with A/D, D/A, Communication protocol, and programable logic that cost less than a dollarUSD with automotive level quality and temperature operating range.
Of course, as previously mentioned by others and myself, redundancy and hot swap capability would also be of great help in servicing a plant, some might say they are a requirement for a mature product.

Follow up question re input and output being isolated that Italo R. asked.
Can the negative side of the input and the negative side of the output simultaneously be connected to common/earth ground? I ask because this is a common configuration of electronic equipment for safety reasons.
Dear Dr Rossi
In which country is the factory located. I would love to do a few trials quickly with the units I have ordered so I can organised much larger 1Mw units and get these unit out in the real world.
How do you envision the Controller communicating with its SKLeps?
1. Point-to-Point – a Controller has one cable to a specific SKLep it is controlling
2. Multi-Point – A single communications line from the Controller handles multiple SKLep units?
3. Other? If this, can you further clarify?
Dear Dr. Rossi
Further to your response back to @Adolf some additional favorable information….
per the video demo notes at the 6:12 mark, there is two more bits of info to share about the test.
1) the power source was also given to E-catworld.
2) All three were verified by them to operate normally.
Dear Dr. Rossi,
I try to explain myself better.
The Ecat has, I believe, a 12 VDC input power connection (positive and negative) and two other output connections (positive and negative) to the load.
If I connect an ohmmeter between one of the input connections and one of the output connections, will I read an infinite resistance (input and output circuits are isolated from each other), or will I read zero ohms (in this case the two input and output circuits have at least one common connection)?
Sincerely
Italo R.
Dear Dr. Rossi: If one is not sure how many SKLeps he will need, can he order a controller board that will handle more SKLeps than he initially orders with the expectation that he may order more in the future. In other words if you have a controller made for 10 SKLeps will it operate with only 5 SKLeps attached?
Dear Dr. Rossi,
are the input (power supply) and output circuits inside the SKLep galvanically isolated from each other or do they have a common connection (eg negative or positive)?
A.Goumy:
I am not able to answer, because I absolutely do not know what their AI does, but their plasma is totally different from ours: it is true that they both are plasmas, but it is also true that both ants and whales are animals…
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Do you plan on different size Controller boards, depending on the number of SKLeps being controlled by a single Controller?
For example:
1. 4″ x 4″ Controller for handling 5 or fewer SKLeps?
2. 4″ x 8″ Controller for handling between 6 and 20 SKLeps?
3. 8″ x 8: Controller for handling between 21 and 100 SKLeps?
Dear Dr. Rossi
My point was not the hot fusion, but the similarity of technical approaches (as seen by an outside observer) in using AI to control physical processes involving plasma. May be you have some comments on the AI topic.
Warm Regards,
A.G.
A. Goumy:
The Ecat AI has obviously nothing to do with the hot fusion.
Thank you anyway for the link, about which I’d observe that they had to turn off the reactor after several seconds because of the fact that the magnetic field didn’t grant the necessary stability to continue. This is the same problem they have 70 years since and, as every other year, when it comes the time for asking new funds from the Taxpayer, they say that in 20 years they will resolve the problem.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Dr. Rossi
Are there some emulators of the ECat AI in the hot fusion field?
Here is a very interesting recent Nature article about “Magnetic control of tokamak plasmas through deep reinforcement learning”: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04301-9

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Another possible SKLep application —
Streetlight power. In 10 years of continuous operation (24/7) there are 87,600 hours. Streetlights are on 12 hours per day – either controlled by a central location or using an ambient light sensor. Modern streetlights consume between 30 and 250W of power when operating. So, 1 – 3 SKLeps would be sufficient to power the streetlight when it is illuminating.

2- depends on the specific situations, anyway over 10000 units
