Thank you for the October update. I could not be more excited for your first commercial shipments. I applaud that the first installations will be likely highly controlled. I have no doubt that villains will consider staging e-cat disasters if they get their hands on units.
I can’t wait to hear about the current (i.e. watts) associated with 22 kV.

I never wrote or said, let alone guarantee, that the Ecats will be delivered to all the persons that sent a pre-order within the year 2025.
I wrote and said that possibly the deliveries of the Ecats could initiate within the year 2025, and I still suppose, albeit this issue does not depend on Leonardo Corporation, that the deliveries will start within the end of the 2025.
The first pre-order has been made by the corporation that eventually became the global licensee of Leonardo Corporation, and does not depend on Leonardo Corporation when the following deliveries will be completed.

The small subcomponent NGU systems’ design is full proof and can meet any system reliability and availability requirements no matter how many subcomponents that the system design may call for.
The small subcomponent systems’ design of the NGU is the most cost effective advantage that the NGU systems design has over the large single component availability design of a 35 megawatt gas turbine.
I have posted on how to achieve high system availability by including additional spare components in the clusters here:
@Axil,
I understand what you wrote AXIL, but here is my answer.
Thanks to Rossi, soon the AI Superclusters will be obsolete for at least these reasons:
1. With the current 10W NGU units, thinking of setting up a 1 GW power plant with 100 million 10W NGUs is a true folly because, as is known, the probability of damage is exponential according to the number of components of every system. This means having to substitute an enormous number of units every minute to guarantee the required power. An example; if we turned on 100 million 10 W LED lamps (guaranteed for 50,000 hours each) how many would break in the first 10 minutes? Perhaps the LEDs last 50,000 hours but the minimal electronics that turn them on truly no, we have all noticed it, in reality an average LED lamp lasts much less than expected.
2. The current NGUs cannot yet be inserted into a chip but surely some, for a few hundred W, can be inserted into the PBC cards that contain them or into their rack mount enclosures. In short, every unit will have its own power supply.
3. Fortunately, there are still few Superclusters, while there are surely billions of instruments in homes, in mobile systems, power tools, cell phones that are waiting for nothing else than generators between 5kW and 10W.
4. If the Global Licensee wastes time, (because they truly waste it!) setting up megawatt units, some other Enterprise that will purchase the first NGUs will certainly copy them, bypassing any patent, to become the world producer for small powers.

There is a new class of electrical power users whose need for electrical power far exceeds anything that the grid can support. This class is called “AI Superclusters”. The large units of this class are installing their own gigawatt level power stations and water plants which now produce power using natural gas or nuclear generation technologies.
The NGU is an ideal replacement power technology for this type of energy user. The scaleup process for the NGU will reach the gigawatt level to meet the power production requirements for the AI superclusters.
This inevitability is why I have recommended that a new class of NGU power system be invented to meet the needs of the AI superclusters. If the NGU function is integrated into the AI chip manufactures’ designs by companies like Nvidia, AMD, and Apple, and large-scale fabrication by dedicated foundries such as TSMC and Samsung produce these chips, then the demand for supercluster power might be met since there will be a direct relationship between the AI chip and their NGU power source; so power production scaleup is baked into chip production. AI technology is now a top priority of the worlds commercial and governmental decisionmakers’. If chip NGU integration is not done, then the NGU will be forced into dedicated power production for the AI superclusters and neither retail or grid users will ever see a NGU system installed to meet their needs.
Hello Dr. Rossi,
When will the electricity supplier, the financing bank, the manufacturer and operator of the production facilities reveal their names to the public?
1) As soon as the first ecats are deployed at the electricity supplier.
2) As soon as the first ecats are delivered to end customers, hence later.
3) It will be kept secret for as long as possible.
Best regards,

Normally, electric items should be protected or secured. To prevent against accidentally being struck by a falling object or in the event of an earthquake or other natural movement – tornado, etc., from being moved or turned over.
This could be done by placing the device in a protective container. For example, placing the generating unit in a safe located in a vehicle traveling around a closed course.
Or, the generating device could be securely tied to a structure, like a wall or shelf.
This could be facilitated by the manufacturer by simply adding legs or providing predrilled and tapped holes on the side or sides of the Power Generator.
Or, there could be predetermined locations on the generator body where the user could safely drill and tap holes, with suitable instructions and warnings.
Lastly, the user could have user-designed and provided hold down clamps or similar items that could be used to secure the Power Generator.
I will wait to see what brilliant method your Partners arrive at to meet this need.
I’m starting to get very worried. If the licensee’s legitimate interest is to supply 20- or 22-kW products, and these start feeding into the grid, my, our dream of going off-grid, of witnessing a democratization of energy, may no longer be realized. I hope Andrea’s comment proves me wrong. May start another “energycratization”
Dear Andrea,
The evolution of computers should have made it clear that “scale down” is the way forward, from main frame to personal computers, to smart phones, and now smart watches and smart rings too. So, as “Chief Scientist,” you should make the Global Licensee understand that “scale down” from 5 kW to 10 W or less is the way forward, not “scale up” to 1 MW, even if “clean” but with large, long cables, pylons, and transformers, to carry energy where it’s needed, as we do now.
Andrea, you will be eternally remembered for having freed humanity and the environment from the “energy grid” (not just electricity), not for having built a multi-MW power plant.

Normally the Ecat shouldn’t need to be secured, but obviously this issue depend on the specific situations and assemblies configurations.

How are the NGU Power Generators mechanically secured to external structures? For example, threaded mounting holes in one or more faces? Or, is the user required to develop a clamp devise to positionally secure the Power Generator(s)?
Steven Nicholes Karels:
In the datasheet shown in http://www.ecat.com the three dimensions are, respectively, length, width and height; obviously the height is the vertical one. In the assemblies the height is the sum of the modules piled up.

Didn’t you guarantee that all the pre-orders will be delivered within the year 2025 ? Isn’t it true ?

Dr. Rossi:
You published a very interesting October report. It is encouraging that you are still expecting delivery of the first Ecats in 2025.
One question: has the Leonardo global licensee any issues with reliability or stability of the units under test that need to be resolved?
