I was wandering if it’s possible to organize a q&a session with your licensee. He can stay Anonymous but answer some of those questions that you cannot. We can use a social to do it or it can be organized with Frank Acland.
I am very excited that you have accomplished what many said you could not.
From reading others questions and the answers you have given, I have assumed that the eCat must be in a vertical position for
proper operation. I would like to hypothetically offer a physics question on this issue.
If an eCat were mounted on a centrifugal rotating base so that the axis of force is now ‘vertical’ to the eCat…
Could you use an electrically conductive ‘slip ring’ to provide a path of current for your electrical load ?
Dr. Rossi,
You mentioned the possibility of increased volumetric power density (kW/liter) with a potential 100W version of the Ecat. A potential application-set for a higher density device would be the brick-shaped (rectangular ovoid-shaped) lithium batteries used in hundreds of different devices. (E.g., mobility chairs, golf carts, oxygen concentrators, portable power stations, uninterruptable power supplies, security alarm backup supplies…)
At 1-hour of usage, lithium ion batteries have a power density of 300-700 W/L. The Ecat is currently spec’d at 120 W/L, so if an ambitious goal of a 3 to 6-fold increase in power density for the Ecat were possible, millions of such devices could be quickly switched from rechargeable, 1-hr Li-ion batteries to semi-permanent, 3-yr Ecat batteries.
3-6x improvement doesn’t seem impossible, given what you’ve already achieved, does it?
Dear Readers:
The interview with Frank Acland whose link you can find in the comment of Frank published here today at 11:27 a.m. includes the report of the Ecat Team activity of October,

Frank Acland:

One question I should have asked: Will it be possible for those who pre-ordered a 12V DC producing E-Cat NGU, to change that preorder to a 230V AC producing unit?
Please inform your many readers, if you can (yes/no/don’t know/not for me to say), when the initial ecat units are shipped and placed into operation by the licensee, will they be in operation in:
1. North America?
2. Europe?
3. Asia?
4. When they are in operation, will their locations be made known to the public?
Steven Nicholes Karels:
1. Depends on the demand od the electric distributor: normally 20/22 kV
2. depends on the situations
3. same as in 2
4. same as in 3

inside the plasma reactor there are not PV chips and the plasma reactor must be made by means of idoneous materials depending on the specific situations, that can be of different kinds depending on the specific situations, as explained in the patent you cited; besides, the magnet’s purpose cited in my former answer limits the heat exchange forcing the electrons to go in straight line toward the target,
Warm Regards,

Allow me to be more specific – for the prototype specific 22 kV European Grid Power Generation currently being developed
Questions:
1. What will be Voltage, generated by the ensemble of NGU Power Generators, that feeds the DC to AC inverters?
2. What be the output Voltage of the inverters?
3. Will the inverters by single phase or three phase?
4. Will transformers be used to reach the European Grid Voltage level of 22 kV?
Yes, I have seen the patent reference but doesn’t the glass lense and the photovoltaic chip being delicate high precision optical objects require protection from high energy electrons and plasma interactions? Thank you for your response.
Tommek:
I am not able to answer yet, because this issue does not depend on me. As much as I am aware of, the deliveries could still start within this year,
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Since they are in contact with their licensees, could they find out what the approximate schedule looks like? So the announcement of the technology and also the release of the products. If the first products are to be delivered this year, these points would apply beforehand. Maybe a question about the November update, or even earlier?
Some clarification – 22 kV European Grid Power Generation
As I understand the concept – ECat NGU Power Generators will provide electrical power to supply 22 kV European Grid Power.
Questions:
1. What will be Voltage, generated by the ensemble of NGU Power Generators, that feeds the DC to AC inverters?
2. What be the output Voltage of the inverters?
3. Will the inverters by single phase or three phase?
4. Will transformers be used to reach the Grid Voltage level of 22 kV?
Suggestions: I doubt that Tesla Energy would be based on carbon-derived fuels and it will definitely be non-nuclear. Tesla has a great deal of experience in solar panels and large battery storage devices. I strongly suspect a PhotoVoltaic generation source, with large batteries to store energy for off-sunlight conditions, and use of conventional solar inverter technology to covert DC to AC to produce European Grid power.
I doubt that Tesla would be an early adapter of eCat technology when they have a UK license to produce Grid power. That might come later. Perhaps the approach of solar panels supplemented with eCat generators. On the other hand, since the UK has a high latitude and weather conditions not desirable for a solar panel approach, Tesla might quickly expand the energy generation to a newer, 24/7 approach.
Dear Readers, here in the UK the Tesla conpany has applied and been granted a license to sell electrical power to the UK market. Presumably this electricity will be competitive or cheaper than that from other suppliers. An interesting question – where will Tesla be acquring or producing this energy?. Any suggestions?.
Dr Rossi,
Did the Latina test with the Renault Twizy trigger technological improvements of the Ecat technology ?
Did it bear a new R&D stream ?

Dear Dr. Rossi,
If the 100W is technically the same as the 10W NGU and the technical solution include a discharge tube as the E-CatSK demonstration in Stockholm in 2019, is it so that the 100W has 10 cathode emitters while the 10W NGU has only one cathode.
Kind regards,
Calle H
Dear Dr. Rossi,
Following your reply that the 100W is not a performance upgrade of the 10W NGU, is the 100W made of ten technically the same solution as the 10W NGU or is the 100W made of a technically different solution.
Kind regards,
Calle H
Dr Rossi,
is still coherent with the Ecat technology the paper “Ecat SK and long range particle interactions” now re-published in the website http://www.ecat.com ?
Point 6 related to the possibility of older 100 test units being qualified for the current use. But I think that question is obsolete given your answers to the earlier points.
It’s good to hear that development continues and improves.
I imagine things are happening very fast behind the scenes
I’m looking forward to hearing about the first devices both substantial and the smaller units.
I recall that in the days of the mainly thermal ecats before the quark QX devices you had larger devices such as the ecat X and ecat SK. The Quark was considered as a kind of optimal minimal sized device at the time. Later developments were based on the QX and these evolved into the electrical ecats SKL and NGU devices. Is this correct?
Whilst 10W cells are optimal for domestic uses and appliances.100W reactors and larger clearly are more optimal for large installations such as 1MW substations etc.easier to build maintain and monitor and less components so better reliability etc.
1. Is the new 100W device a move back to larger volume reactors?
2. Or is it rather that you have found a way to optimize the small volume ones that made the 10W pucks to produce higher electricity output?
3. Some combination of the two.
4 does the change require significant changes to the manufacturing of the units?
5 or is it that a the retesting has qualified the existing process for higher energy put?
6. I think in the past you have mentioned 100W units so I suppose the capability is still there even it’s a different reactor to the 10W ones. Just a matter of bringing on line and qualifying it maybe?
Anyway good luck with this I think it makes a lot of sense for the substation approach.
I will the smaller units based in 10W cells still be produced?
Dear Dr. Rossi,

Instead of “rectangular ovoid-shaped”, that should probably be “rectangular cuboid-shaped”– much easier to visualize too. 😉

Dr Rossi,
is your global licensee in contact with a car manufacturer ?
Dear Andrea Rossi
The core of the 10W and 100W Ecat
1) is where biasing determines the direction of electron flow?
2) is gaseous filled glass receptical?
3) is a gaseous filled metal receptical?
4) is a semi conductor device (at least in part)
5) is a capacitor like storage device? (you once wrote about custom designed capacitors)
