    Dear Andrea,

    I have a question about the SSM that may sound odd to some.

    You have described the SSM as that time frame when the power driving control is turned off. And, you currently are pushing the envelope of the percentage of time in SSM, currently about 70%.

    I am not an engineer/physicist and so I am guessing that the LENR effect is a quantum level effect. If this is so, then my question is this:

    At what scale do you measure the %SSM? At the level of seconds, or at the level of something like nano-seconds? Does it occur at a scale which overlaps the control signals going into the E-Cat QX module?

    If the answer is part of the IP, then of course ignore the question.

    My best,

    Buck

    Frank Acland:
    With the control system, that also caused troubles to the E-Cat.

    Dear Andrea,

    Was the problem with the E-Cat or the control system?

    Many thanks,

    Did you resolve the problem with the Ecat QX?

    Hello Andrea,

    As one of the journal-of-nuclear-physics follower & also a YouTube subscriber from the University of Nottingham channel “Periodic Videos”
    https://www.youtube.com/user/periodicvideos

    I noticed that they just released an updated video about element Nickel which may also interest other readers : (nothing directly related to LENR but interesting nonetheless)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUmoaZn9bek

    Keep up the great work you and your team.
    I can’t wait for the presentation in October.

    Best Regards,

    Xavier

  • Dear Dr. Rossi,

    WARNING: To avoid feeling ancient…
    Do not attempt to discuss “Cold Fusion” with a twenty-something year-old.

    I tried to converse with a 20+ year-old city planner last week at Tai Chi class who did not know what “Cold Fusion” was, and never heard of Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann. (I felt a bit ancient that day).

    28 years is a long time to wait for a commercial “Cold Fusion” (LENR) product.

    Best of luck with your R&D.

    Best Regards,

    Daniel G. Zavela

    Dear Andrea:
    It is obvious that you cannot disclose the circuitry of the control panel!
    They are just trying to spy.

    Dear Andrea,
    During a while now I have been wondering how it can be that you are able to get nuclear reactions in a plasma, as described in your and Carl-Oskar Gullström latest paper. Circumstances seem similar to hot fusion, only the temperature is many orders of magnitudes less. Most metals you are using are in vapor in your reactor, so ‘solid state physics’ seems impossible.
    1. Do you still think reactions are taking place in the lattice of a metal or some metals?
    The circumstances of the reaction in the E-cat and the E-cat QX seem to differ a lot. In the past, you said that the reaction would stop if the nickel would melt. Now you are operating it in vaporized nickel.
    2. Do you still believe that both types of reactors are functioning on the same principles?
    I hope that you can answer this in general terms.
    3. If not, will you explain these apparent differences between the two reactor types during/after your demonstration in October?
    Thank you.
    Kind regards, Gerard

    Will you disclose the schematic of the control system of the QX or is it considered confidential?

    METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HIGH EFFICIENCY ELECTRICITY GENERATION USING LOW ENERGY THERMAL HEAT GENERATION AND THERMIONIC DEVICES
    Document Type and Number:
    United States Patent Application 20170213611 Kind Code: A1
    Abstract:
    A system and method are provided for generating electric power from relatively low temperature energy sources at efficiency levels not previously available. The present system and method employ recent advances in low energy nuclear reaction technology and thermionic/thermotunneling device technology first to generate heat and then to convert a substantial portion of the heat generated to usable electrical power. Heat may be generated by a LENR system employing nuclear reactions that occur in readily available materials at ambient temperatures without a high energy input requirement and do not produce radioactive byproducts. The heat generated by the LENR system may be transferred through one or more thermionic converter devices in heat transfer relationship with the LENR system to generate electric power.

    Dear Andrea,

    The QuarkX design is (has been) updated based on your findings in the 1 year E-Cat test results? (Y/N)

    Thank you,

    Tom

    (I am trying not to ask a question that violates your need to keep the results secret. I hope I succeeded.)

    Dr Andrea Rossi,
    can you give information about the charges of the small 20 kW Ecats of the 1 MW plant after one year of test? Did you discover why they did not work?
    Thank you for the answer

  • Andrea Rossi

    Colin Watters:
    It does not matter what terminal is connected to the 1 Ohm resistance.
    Warm Regards,

  • Colin Watters

    Dear Mr Rossi,

    I understand the QX has two terminals (One connected to the 1R resistor, the other connected to 0V). Can you tell me if the QX is polarised? Eg Does it matter which terminal is connected to the 1R and which to 0V? Thanks.

  • Andrea Rossi

    Tom Conover:
    The data related to the E-Cat QX will be given during the presentation.
    Thank you for the information.

    Dr. Rossi,

    In respect with your journey towards the eventual sima 5. Can you say if you are somewhere between sigma:

    A: 4.0 to 4.25
    B: 4.25 to 4.5
    C: 4.5 to 4.75
    D: 4.75 to 5.0

    Thank you so much for your continued hard work.

  • Tom Conover

    Good morning, Andrea!

    With your permission please, a couple of questions for you today.

    Is the QuarkX with 20 units still scheduled for use in the presentation in October?
    Have you reduced the controller power enough to use in in the COP calculation?
    Thank you for sharing if you are able to do so.

    Warm regards,

    Tom

    Dear Andrea,

    Relating to your analysis (so far) of the charges of the 1 MW plant, I realize you can’t discuss the details, but:

    1- have you found anything new?
    2- have you found anything that surprised you?

    Thanks,

    Cesare:
    I have not time to read forums and I know only the published reports about all the replications that have been made of the so called Rossi effect. I did not find any publication related to what you say.
