Dear Andrea,
Space applications get mentioned every now and then. Here is my subjective opinion:
1) Launch vehicles: would be need, but difficult to apply E-cat because would need enormous power density.
2) Spacecraft around Earth, Moon, Mars, Venus: not much need for E-cat because solar panels do their job well (100 W/kg whole power system).
3) Moon landers: strong need (2 weeks long night).
4) Mars landers: rather strong need (night, winter, dust).
5) Venus landers: no need for E-cat.
6) Asteroids, scientific and commercial: moderate need (sun rather far away, shadow side exists).
7) Probes to outer solar system: strong need because solar panels do not work.
For 3, 7, 4 and 6, the QX seems better suited than the old E-cat because has high COP and is small scale.
Dear Andrea:
Congratulations again for the convincing demo od Stockholm.
I watched the video of the lecture of Carl-Oscar Gullstrom: from the minute 26’40” to 27’10” it seems to me there is the core of your theory, am I correct?

I have been following your development of the Rossi Effect for the past 5 years and I am very encouraged and excited from the results of your recent demonstration of the QuarkX in Stockholm. I fully understand that you are intensely focused on mass production of the industrial systems for heat production. Although I’m now retired and not formally educated in the sciences, I have an intense interest in leading edge technologies, so please excuse me if this is an inappropriate question at this time:
I’ve recently read that NASA is considering launching a probe to Alpha Centauri by 2069 and are thinking about using ground based laser arrays with a large sail to propel the probe, which, although may be technically possible, seems to me to be very inefficient and expensive. They estimate this trip would take approximately 44 years. Do you feel that your QuarkX or its future generations might be capable of providing the propulsion and/or systems energy for such a probe?
Thank you for your consideration and your dedication toward advancing our understanding about the workings of our universe.
Dear Andrea.
A 60 W incandescent bulb with a tungsten filament diam. of 0,046 mm a length of 580 mm, have a tungsten volume of less than 1 mm^3. The volume of QX giving 60 W is 3 mm^3.
The power density of the bulb filament is then more than 3 times of the QX, which is common.
The difference is that QX is an energy source not energy consuming. The heat production in a year of the QX is about the same as from 50 liters of common fuel. The theoretical energy density by volume of QX is then 16 x 10^6 of fuel. In practice the rod of QX may need a space for heat transfer and support. If a space of 160 times the volume of the QX-rod is sufficient, the volume energy density of the QX-reactor, may be 100 000 times of common fuel measured by the reactors lifetime. By weight it may be the same.
The volume of a reactor producing heat of 100 kWh/h may then be as small as only 500 cm^3, if my calculations are correct. The construction of such compact heat exchangers may be a challenge.
The electronic controllers may need the same or more space. The change of reactors, when needed, may not be more difficult than changing a light bulb or a fuel filter.
(The atom bomb dropped at Hiroshima converted only 0,7 g mass to energy.)

Eric Ashworth:
Mass has sense if it is referred to a body. The mass of a body is the measure of its inertia, in other words of its resistance to any variation of motion. Obviously the motion can be limited by other bodies if they are close enough. Volume is the measurement of the space occupied by a body. Time is a distance between events, therefore it has sense only if referred to the space in which events occur.
The equation of Einstein involves space, time, mass, energy.
Geometry is the measurement of all that concerns the forms of bodies and, being a measurement, it is necessarily bound to Mathematics, without which it couldn’t have any sense, therefore a geometric formula is intrinsecally a mathematical formula.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea, Just a thought. In your search for the theory and a formulae relating to the LENR process would you think that an increasing impedance caused by a restriction of mobility could in some way have a direct relation to the release of a quantity of energy. The equation E=Mc2 is accepted and well established being true. But what is mass, is it a tiny compressed volume or an expanded tiny mass into volume?. Time could therefore become a relevant factor. If the LENR process does involve a dual activity this could in theory render a one formulae explanation almost impossible. Maybe, two theories using both maths and geometry which brings in mechanics could solve a paradox but then and I don’t know whether two theories would be allowed to explain a single phenomena in physics. All the best, Regards Eric Ashworth

By the Einstein equation, theoretically 1 g of matter could be turned into 25 x 10^6 kWh, therefore every 1 mg of matter could be turned into 25 x 10^3 kWh of energy. Obviously, only one fraction of this conversion is possible.

2017 has been an incredible year in the story of the e-cat. Look where we were this time last year and where we are now with the beautiful engineering behind the E-Cat QX. It’s an amazing story this and it’s developing fast.
I have the feeling now things have got to the next level of industrialization for most of us out side it’s going to take some degee of patience but behind the scenes the work will be going on as much as before if not even harder.
I was so happy that we were able to see some of the capabilities of the E-CatQX in video presentations of the demonstration in November. What a way to end this incredible year.
I’m personally really looking forward to the days we can clearly understand the science and physics behind this amazing phenomenon. Which will come in the not to distant future I think. Maybe in 2018.
All the best for Christmas and the new year season to you and all the ecat team.
6 While they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her son, the firstborn, and she wrapped him in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the lodging place.8 There were also in the same region shepherds living out of doors and keeping watch in the night over their flocks. 9 Suddenly Jehovah’s angel stood before them, and Jehovah’s glory gleamed around them, and they became very fearful. 10 But the angel said to them: “Do not be afraid, for look! I am declaring to you good news of a great joy that all the people will have. 11 For today there was born to you in David’s city a savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this is a sign for you: You will find an infant wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God and saying: 14 “Glory in the heights above to God, and on earth peace among men of goodwill.”

Dear Dr. Rossi,
I assume that you and your team are working on developing an initial production prototype of an Industrial Product that will be based on a configuration of multiple Quark X modules and an integrated heat-exchanger assembly. If it would be possible, could you indicate whether the Industrial Product might have the following general specifications:
1.Configuration Nr. 1: An Industrial Product that consists of the integration of two main system components – that includes multiple Quark X units mounted on a standardized heat-exchanger module.
2.Configuration Nr. 2: An Industrial Product that consists of the integration of three main system components – that includes multiple Quark X units mounted on a standardized heat-exchanger module with an integrated electronics control sub-unit.
3.Since the physical dimensions of the Industrial Product will be dictated by the number of Quark X modules mounted on the standardized heat-exchanger assembly, could the x and y dimensions the initial Industrial Product be one of the following:
a)25 cm x 25 cm (or less)
b)50 cm x 50 cm (or less)
c)1-meter x 1-meter (or less)
d)More than 1-meter square
4.Could the initial Industrial Product assembly contain:
a)50 Quark X modules (or less)
b)100 Quark X modules (or less)
c)500 Quark X modules (or less)
d)More than 500 Quark X modules
It is understandable if you cannot reveal this information at this time. However, I want to thank you for your extraordinary dedication and hard work in creating a revolutionary product that will be of benefit to the whole world. I wish you great success in your endeavor.
