Dear Andrea,
Have you also addressed the issue of distribution and deliveries? Shipping and delivery companies will certainly have to increase their workforce, and if production starts up at full capacity, there will be a general collapse of the international shipping system.
What do you think? Thank you.
Dr. Rossi, It will be a momentous day when the first Ecats are released. I believe God will be helping you get there.
1. How busy is your Licensee these days?
2. What is left to do before deliveries start?
3. What are you personally focusing your time and attention on?
4. Which continent will get the first Ecat deliveries?

Please prepare for me detailed documentation to allow a due diligence on your activity: we must be sure Leonardo Corporation’s help does not go to mammoth administrative structures ( presidents, managers, secretaries, blue cars and other nice fringe benefits and amenities, like conventions in exotic villages, etc.) instead of to them who really need help.

IMHO, depending on the amature electrical production crowd is now a major miscalculation. The current negative reaction turnaround to green energy production is a major impediment to the introduction of the NGU. Solar systems are no longer discounted via the 30% government subsidies. Electric vehicle support has been discontinued.
Furthermore, Dr. Rossi’s fear of reverse engineering is a roadblock to any attempt to develop NGU applications in various industries.
If I had my druthers, I would be going after the big moneyed highly capitalized applications now keeping the stock market near it peak even with the remainder of the world’s economy sliding into recession.
For one thing, I would be talking to NVIDIA on integrating the NGU into the NVIDIA chip set as follows:
We can conceptualize how a NGU vacuum power chip would be integrated into NVIDIA’s architecture, based on the NVIDIA current architecture.
The integration strategy would focus on adapting existing power delivery and thermal management systems to leverage the new, self-contained power source, eliminating external cabling so that the design of the data center can be simplified.
Hypothetical hardware integration
Since the vacuum power chips produce 10 watts at 12 volts, they would be integrated into the AI system as a new type of chiplet building block.
Chiplet integration: Modern GPU architectures, like NVIDIA’s Blackwell, already use a chiplet design. The vacuum power chips could be designed as a new class of chiplet, integrated onto the same package or interposer as the GPU and CPU.
Power delivery network (PDN): The current PDN, which delivers power from the power supply unit (PSU) to the chip, would be redesigned. The vacuum power chiplets would connect directly to a modified on-package PDN, simplifying the power delivery pathway and dramatically reducing power-loss resistance.
Backplane clustering: For massive AI systems like a DGX SuperPOD, the backplane would serve as a high-efficiency power bus. The clustered 10-watt power chips would connect to this backplane, delivering a total power output equivalent to or greater than the current external power shelves.
12V power rail: NVIDIA’s move toward higher-voltage power distribution in data centers (from 48V to 800V) is driven by the need to minimize current and resistance. A native 12V power source would reverse this trend for the system’s internal power. It would require highly efficient, integrated DC-to-DC converters to step up or down the voltage for different components, with the 90% efficiency figure indicating minimal conversion loss.
New system architecture
The integration of this technology would lead to a radical restructuring of AI systems.
Power backplane and architecture
Decentralized power delivery: Instead of central power shelves and bulky cabling, the AI system would feature a power backplane that directly mounts the vacuum power chips. An NVIDIA HGX baseplate, for example, could be re-engineered to include sockets for these power-generating chips.
Voltage regulation and filtering: The 12V output from the power chips would feed into on-backplane voltage regulator modules (VRMs). These VRMs would provide clean, stable power at the sub-1V level required by the GPU’s core logic. The power chips’ 90% efficiency would minimize conversion losses, which are a major concern in current data centers.
Self-contained DGX modules: Large-scale NVIDIA DGX systems would no longer require a separate rack for power shelves. Each modular unit (e.g., eight GPUs) would contain its own internal vacuum power chiplets, creating a fully self-contained compute node.
Modified cooling systems: The power chip itself would be a source of heat, albeit with 90% efficiency. The remaining 10% waste heat would need to be handled by the existing thermal management solution, likely requiring the power chips to be placed in areas with adequate liquid or air cooling.
Cable-free back-end: A DGX system powered by this technology would not need external power cables. The only connections would be for networking, such as InfiniBand or NVLink, dramatically simplifying data center deployment and maintenance.
GPU board design and modularity
Elimination of external power connectors: A modern GPU like NVIDIA’s Blackwell B200 draws 1,000 watts or more, requiring multiple 12V High Power (12VHPWR) connectors. With integrated power chips on the backplane, the GPU would not need any external power connectors or associated wiring.
Compact design and chiplets: The vacuum power chips could potentially be designed as highly efficient “chiplets,” mirroring NVIDIA’s multi-chiplet GPU designs. This could allow the power source to be placed in very close proximity to the GPU die, reducing power delivery network (PDN) losses.
Deployment and usage implications
The practical implementation of this hypothetical system would have far-reaching effects.
Data center redesign: Future data centers would be less expensive to field and need far less infrastructure for power delivery, cooling, and cable management. Entire floors dedicated to power conversion would be eliminated.
Scaling and data center deployment
High-density clustering: The AI system could achieve unprecedented compute density by clustering the 10-watt power chips together on the backplane. This aligns with NVIDIA’s existing modular scaling strategies, such as the MGX and NVL72 platforms.
Rack-level consolidation: An entire AI compute rack—containing multiple GPU nodes—could potentially be self-powered. This would eliminate the need for dedicated power supply racks, massive cable trunks, and a complex AC-to-DC conversion infrastructure. A high-density rack of 32 or 64 vacuum power chips could supply the hundreds of watts needed for an individual GPU and its supporting CPUs
Thermal management
Improved cooling efficiency: Eliminating bulky power cables and external power supplies frees up a significant amount of space and reduces thermal load. This would improve airflow and make advanced cooling solutions, like direct liquid cooling, more effective by removing obstructions to coolant lines.
Waste heat reduction: The 90% efficiency of the vacuum power chips means less heat is generated from power conversion, simplifying the overall thermal design of the system. This allows more of the thermal capacity to be dedicated to cooling the GPUs and other compute elements.
System implications
Enhanced reliability: A decentralized power system reduces single points of failure. If one power chip were to fail, the redundant, clustered design could pick up the slack, improving the system’s overall resilience.
Simplified supply chain: Without the need for heavy-gauge copper wires, high-amperage connectors, and bulky power supplies, the bill of materials for high-end AI systems would be drastically simplified.
Revolutionized data center design: The physical architecture of AI data centers could be re-imagined. Facilities would no longer need vast, purpose-built power infrastructure, and the entire footprint could be dramatically reduced. The lack of external power cables could simplify installation, maintenance, and facility design.
Portable high-performance computing: A cable-free, self-powered AI system would enable portable, high-performance computing far beyond current mobile platforms. This could be transformative for applications in robotics, edge AI, and field research.
Sustainability: By eliminating energy draw from the power grid, such a chip would make AI systems carbon-neutral from an energy consumption standpoint, shifting the environmental impact to the manufacturing process instead.
I would sincerely like to private message or email you about ongoing activities with our organization and the need for this wonderful breakthrough. I have been following your work for many years. We are building a new hospital ship to serve the poor and needy, mostly in Africa, and there are many opprotunities I would like to discuss with you as you might have opportunity?? You have my email and this would be the way to reach me if you are able and interested to speak with me.
Blessings on you Dr. Rossi and the work of your hands and heart.
Here are some of my thoughts about the E-Cat launch. https://youtu.be/5plYeteasLs
In summary, I believe that once the launch starts you will get a lot of validation from early adopters reporting their experiences with your E-Cats.
Dear Dr Andrea Rossi,
What worries me are the trolls that are ready to kill the Ecat as soon as you will start the deliveries, for example buying an Ecat and voluntary causing some bad accident to storm out the diffusion of the Ecat.
Do you too have concerns of the like ?
How do you think to avoid this or similar things happen ?
I wish you all the best,
Roberto
Prof. Neri Accornero:
1- not so far
2- thank you for the suggestion
3- this is a good suggestion too, but for the time being we prefer not to add new items. Eventually we will consider what you suggest, if there will be a related consistent demand.
Anyway, we exclude any modification made by the Customer, because in such cases the guarantee will be cancelled as well as the validity of the safety certification.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Yes, even a relatively small number of units initially produced and distributed to reliable customers who confirm their functionality will quickly spark interest and demand worldwide.
Dear Andrea,
If you can, please share some technical information that I think will be useful to many:
The minimum ECAT unit produces 10W at 12V at approximately 0.8A, according to the specifications.
1- Is it possible to obtain a higher voltage in a single cell, up to 24 or 36V, obviously with a reduction in amperage if the 10W rating is maintained?
2- If a higher voltage cannot be obtained in a single cell, however, one could consider inserting a very small circuit with a YX8018 integrated circuit (like those of few millimeters in small solar garden lights) to increase the voltage.
This is to avoid having to connect multiple units in series to increase the voltage, considering that connecting multiple units in parallel to increase the amperage is certainly the safest option if a single cell is damaged, but it requires the use of an external DC-DC UP converter of adequate amperage to increase the voltage.
3- In short, having small 24-36-48 V units, even with very low amperage, that can be connected in parallel would be very convenient to obtain the power needed, because currently most power tools, electric bikes, mopeds and small marine outboards use these voltages.
Best regards
Neri
To Axil
I refer to your briefing here on August 20th where you recommend the Ecat partners, as a marketing measure, to contact more companies working with the emergence of AI.
I am of the opinion that when Ecat is available, all companies that have energy technology needs, will contact manufacturers and licensees themselves to take advantage of what many have called a paradigm shift in energy technology and which Greg Smith, on August 19, points out can save humanity.
His point about the TGTBT effect also shows how crucial a real and functioning product, in this context, is absolutely necessary.
To concentrate 100% on achieving a functioning and marketable product now seems to have to be the partners’ main task.
Regards Svein
I imagine there is big pressure from many places on you and your licensee at the moment. It is not common for an invention as important as the Ecat to come along, and I am sure there are many factors to consider with making a launch.
Is it correct to assume that your Licensee is making the major decisions about when to launch the Ecats and start delivering them?
If not is the mechanism still there using Hydrogen NMR emission but now converted into another form lower energy photons or increased space charge etc.
Global electricity demand is expected to continue growing, with increases projected to be close to 4% annually through 2027. This growth will be fueled by factors like increased industrial production, rising use of air conditioning, and in particular the expansion of data centers.
The partner should reach out as a pre marketing effort to companies that supply power and cooling to data centers that will be fielded in the next few years in order to make the E-cat compatible with their data center solutions and to make them aware of the high efficiency of E-cat power generation. Companies like Vertiv, Eaton, Hubbell, and those in the HVAC industry are playing a crucial role in enabling the future of data centers by addressing the critical challenges associated with power and cooling in the face of escalating demands driven largely by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).

Dear Andrea.
The model Tesla has based its application to the authorities in the UK, as Italo R. points out, will also be ideal for Ecat users.
Tesla’s application for the UK came in July and could be granted within 9 months.
If Ecat is available then, Tesla could become a significant customer as they are today for solar cell manufacturers in Texas.
Regards Svein
Dear Andrea, since the Latina test (carried out on a Renault Twizy) have you received any expressions of interest or contact requests from car manufacturers ?
Dear Andrea,
The concept of “Slow TV” seems to be gaining global interest, not very surprising, I think.
Right now, from the largest municipality in the world:
The spectacular relocation of the famous church of Kiruna, https://www.svtplay.se/video/KnDgQ9G/den-stora-kyrkflytten/forsta-dagen
Elon Musk, through Tesla, has begun the process of becoming an electricity supplier in the UK.
Tesla already obtained a license for electricity generation in 2020, but now aims to sell energy directly to British consumers, offering integrated packages that include vehicle charging, home storage, and the sale of excess energy to the grid.
This model has already been successfully tested in Texas.

The instrumentation described in the publication you cited is complete; the trade mark of the instruments is not an issue, the important is that their range of operation covers the demanded spectrum of values,

Just some musings about the challenges ahead. I’ve spent a lifetime enjoying ‘pioneer’ selling, selling bleeding-edge technology. My primary key success factor has been relentlessly finding courageous individuals (i.e., a personality type), enamored with new technology and willing to take a chance. When the innovation represents a paradigm shift. the challenges become much greater. AI is a paradigm shift but it’s very different from energy; AI is virtual and additive; energy innovation is physical and dealing with a fierce legacy of installed technology.
The number one objection I receive from individuals about E-Cat is TGTBT (Too Good To Be True). In evaluating the ethics of someone selling something, TGTBT is statistically helpful, as most people, especially me, have fallen for some awesome, proffered promotion or deal only to find out we’ve been burned. However, dismissing E-Cat as TGTBT without any investigation is intellectual laziness.
The dismissive response to E-Cat is often that it violates the second law of thermodynamics, and/or it’s an impossible perpetual motion machine. For reasons I can’t explain, most people have no issue accepting that mysterious, vast quantities of energy released from a fission reaction (e.g., U-235 or hydrogen atom splitting), but can’t accept the more manageable and safe release of energy from the E-Cat process.
I live in the energy capital of the world, Houston, where the insanity persists. As vast resources are being expended for massive LNG trains, microreactors, small medium reactors (SMRs), and geothermal projects, I can’t help but wonder if mankind is going to begin routinely wearing radiation detection buttons and masks.
Reuters Recent Article Summary:
“President Trump’s orders to fast-track the deployment of small modular reactors on federal sites could help unlock commercial deployment, if licensing authorities and suppliers can keep up.”
Not to sound overly dramatic, but E-Cat could play a crucial role in saving humanity. When I first met you years ago, your simple answer to my question: “What are you trying to accomplish?” You said, “I am trying to help humanity.” An inspiring answer that aligns with mine.
An important note is that there is NO practical limit to what people, who are benefiting from the status quo, will do to stop or block a disruptive mission like E-Cat. Although the shade cast toward you and E-Cat has been terrible for years, it will intensify when you deliver E-Cat to the market. The participants in and around the E-Cat eco-system must step up to protect and promote it. This means stepping up on social media and with political and regulatory officials. Once E-Cat is shown to work reliably and safely, everything related to E-Cat needs to go quickly – the supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, implementation, and integration; this can’t be a slow 20-year rollout to market acceptance. And pray!
Dear Dr Andrea Rossi,
in the publication http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
are listed in paragraphs 6,7 the instrumentation to perform the experimental test; are there particular instructions to choose a specific kind of such scientific instrumentation, or any kind of them is fit to replicate the experiment ? Do you have any further instrument to add to the published list ?
Thank you if you can answer,
Jean Paul Renoir

Dear Andrea, many people question about technical specs, but hey, we are not talking about an electrical device among others. This is a start of a new industrial revolution in my point of view. People will begin to buy the e-cats to become eletrically indipendent from the grid but… the grid itself at the end will be useless. Or it could deliver electricity almost for free when old power plants will be substitute with this more cheap way to produce energy. The fact is I find it surreal that no one is talking about it. Maybe this silence is just a way for great economical powers to get rid gradually of their oil & gas shares before this becomes of public domain? What’s your opinion about this? Warm regards
Dr Rossi

Is the rollout of the E-Cat still expected for this year 2025? That is the most important thing to now.
Dear Dr Andrea Rossi,
What worries me are the trolls that are ready to kill the Ecat as soon as you will start the deliveries, for example buying an Ecat and voluntary causing some bad accident to storm out the diffusion of the Ecat.
Do you too have concerns of the like ?
How do you think to avoid this or similar things happen ?
I wish you all the best,
Roberto
Dr Rossi,
Did you already see this ?

Dear Dr. Andrea Rossi, is there any correlation between latest Ecat and the correlated (uncorrelated) state of electron clusters?
Warm Regards.

Prof. Neri Accornero:
1- not so far
2- thank you for the suggestion
3- this is a good suggestion too, but for the time being we prefer not to add new items. Eventually we will consider what you suggest, if there will be a related consistent demand.
Anyway, we exclude any modification made by the Customer, because in such cases the guarantee will be cancelled as well as the validity of the safety certification.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
to Svein:
Yes, even a relatively small number of units initially produced and distributed to reliable customers who confirm their functionality will quickly spark interest and demand worldwide.
Italo R.
Dear Andrea,
If you can, please share some technical information that I think will be useful to many:
The minimum ECAT unit produces 10W at 12V at approximately 0.8A, according to the specifications.
1- Is it possible to obtain a higher voltage in a single cell, up to 24 or 36V, obviously with a reduction in amperage if the 10W rating is maintained?
2- If a higher voltage cannot be obtained in a single cell, however, one could consider inserting a very small circuit with a YX8018 integrated circuit (like those of few millimeters in small solar garden lights) to increase the voltage.
This is to avoid having to connect multiple units in series to increase the voltage, considering that connecting multiple units in parallel to increase the amperage is certainly the safest option if a single cell is damaged, but it requires the use of an external DC-DC UP converter of adequate amperage to increase the voltage.
3- In short, having small 24-36-48 V units, even with very low amperage, that can be connected in parallel would be very convenient to obtain the power needed, because currently most power tools, electric bikes, mopeds and small marine outboards use these voltages.
Best regards
Neri

I refer to your briefing here on August 20th where you recommend the Ecat partners, as a marketing measure, to contact more companies working with the emergence of AI.
I am of the opinion that when Ecat is available, all companies that have energy technology needs, will contact manufacturers and licensees themselves to take advantage of what many have called a paradigm shift in energy technology and which Greg Smith, on August 19, points out can save humanity.
His point about the TGTBT effect also shows how crucial a real and functioning product, in this context, is absolutely necessary.
To concentrate 100% on achieving a functioning and marketable product now seems to have to be the partners’ main task.
Regards Svein
Ecat Enthusiast:
Thank you for your kind support.
Answer:
Yes,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dr. Rossi:
I imagine there is big pressure from many places on you and your licensee at the moment. It is not common for an invention as important as the Ecat to come along, and I am sure there are many factors to consider with making a launch.
Is it correct to assume that your Licensee is making the major decisions about when to launch the Ecats and start delivering them?
Regards!

Dear Andrea Rossi
Is the 437.2 nm emission line (related to NMR of Hydrogen (Protium)) mentioned in your paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long-range_particle_interactions and presented in your demonstrations of the SK and QX still present in your newer devices such as the NGU?
If not is the mechanism still there using Hydrogen NMR emission but now converted into another form lower energy photons or increased space charge etc.
Thanks and Best Regards
Stephen

Dear Andrea.
The model Tesla has based its application to the authorities in the UK, as Italo R. points out, will also be ideal for Ecat users.
Tesla’s application for the UK came in July and could be granted within 9 months.
If Ecat is available then, Tesla could become a significant customer as they are today for solar cell manufacturers in Texas.

Dr. Rossi, I read:
Elon Musk, through Tesla, has begun the process of becoming an electricity supplier in the UK.
Tesla already obtained a license for electricity generation in 2020, but now aims to sell energy directly to British consumers, offering integrated packages that include vehicle charging, home storage, and the sale of excess energy to the grid.
This model has already been successfully tested in Texas.
Best regards,

Andrea,
Just some musings about the challenges ahead. I’ve spent a lifetime enjoying ‘pioneer’ selling, selling bleeding-edge technology. My primary key success factor has been relentlessly finding courageous individuals (i.e., a personality type), enamored with new technology and willing to take a chance. When the innovation represents a paradigm shift. the challenges become much greater. AI is a paradigm shift but it’s very different from energy; AI is virtual and additive; energy innovation is physical and dealing with a fierce legacy of installed technology.
The number one objection I receive from individuals about E-Cat is TGTBT (Too Good To Be True). In evaluating the ethics of someone selling something, TGTBT is statistically helpful, as most people, especially me, have fallen for some awesome, proffered promotion or deal only to find out we’ve been burned. However, dismissing E-Cat as TGTBT without any investigation is intellectual laziness.
The dismissive response to E-Cat is often that it violates the second law of thermodynamics, and/or it’s an impossible perpetual motion machine. For reasons I can’t explain, most people have no issue accepting that mysterious, vast quantities of energy released from a fission reaction (e.g., U-235 or hydrogen atom splitting), but can’t accept the more manageable and safe release of energy from the E-Cat process.
I live in the energy capital of the world, Houston, where the insanity persists. As vast resources are being expended for massive LNG trains, microreactors, small medium reactors (SMRs), and geothermal projects, I can’t help but wonder if mankind is going to begin routinely wearing radiation detection buttons and masks.
Reuters Recent Article Summary:
“President Trump’s orders to fast-track the deployment of small modular reactors on federal sites could help unlock commercial deployment, if licensing authorities and suppliers can keep up.”
Not to sound overly dramatic, but E-Cat could play a crucial role in saving humanity. When I first met you years ago, your simple answer to my question: “What are you trying to accomplish?” You said, “I am trying to help humanity.” An inspiring answer that aligns with mine.
An important note is that there is NO practical limit to what people, who are benefiting from the status quo, will do to stop or block a disruptive mission like E-Cat. Although the shade cast toward you and E-Cat has been terrible for years, it will intensify when you deliver E-Cat to the market. The participants in and around the E-Cat eco-system must step up to protect and promote it. This means stepping up on social media and with political and regulatory officials. Once E-Cat is shown to work reliably and safely, everything related to E-Cat needs to go quickly – the supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, implementation, and integration; this can’t be a slow 20-year rollout to market acceptance. And pray!
Fiat voluntas Dei.
Fair winds.
Greg
Dear Dr Andrea Rossi,
in the publication
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
are listed in paragraphs 6,7 the instrumentation to perform the experimental test; are there particular instructions to choose a specific kind of such scientific instrumentation, or any kind of them is fit to replicate the experiment ? Do you have any further instrument to add to the published list ?
Thank you if you can answer,
Jean Paul Renoir
Zoltan:
We have a mission, not opinions, about the future of the Ecat.
Now we have to put the Ecat in the market at work. Then we’ll see.
Fiat voluntas Dei.
Warm Regards,

Dear Andrea, many people question about technical specs, but hey, we are not talking about an electrical device among others. This is a start of a new industrial revolution in my point of view. People will begin to buy the e-cats to become eletrically indipendent from the grid but… the grid itself at the end will be useless. Or it could deliver electricity almost for free when old power plants will be substitute with this more cheap way to produce energy. The fact is I find it surreal that no one is talking about it. Maybe this silence is just a way for great economical powers to get rid gradually of their oil & gas shares before this becomes of public domain? What’s your opinion about this? Warm regards
