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.

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.
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.
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
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.

I will not give any information related to all the charges of all the reactors of the 1 MW plant after the test. I deem this information confidential.
Warm Regards,

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
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.
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
