Since Pons & Fleischmann reliability is one of the biggest problems in LENR-related fields and hot-fusion. While the SKL seems to be most advanced it is still not completely solved.
a) Is this the reason that it is still not the right moment to test in self-sustain-mode?
b) If the SKL is interrupted by a reliability issue, can it automatically recover with a back-up battery?
c) If there is enough redundancy, let’s say three instead of one SKL, does this solve the reliability issues for customers? If ‘yes’ I’m convinced there is already huge market potential for the SKL.
Dear Dr Rossi,
For your eventual household E-Cat do you think that water heating would be better performed by utilizing waste heat or by E-Cat produced electricity?
Best Regards,
Iggy
Tom Conover:
As I always said the pre-orders will be respected in their order of arrival as soon as we will put in commerce the household Ecats. Also for the industrial plants, the pre-orders will be respected, as well as their order of arrival.
Very likely, we will be able to supply industrial plants before we will get the certifications for the households. We already have the certifications for the industrial applications.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Please confirm for us that you will in the first wave of deliveries the ‘ecats’ to those of us that have commercial grade product needs, (ie home heating and cooling systems, large commercial cold storage facilities, green houses that need heating and cooling, etc…) and not send us to the back of the line for deliveries.
1) I Andrea Rossi promise to ship to all pre-orders that confirm …
— or —
2) No, all of the pending pre-orders will be delayed until the corporate orders are filled.
We have waited a decade, we deserve to have our orders respected.
To clarify, when you told Frank Acland that all you needed was a “reliable product” were you referring to:
A) A product that you believe is currently of reliable design, but needs to be proven reliable through a battery of tests of various types and durations, or
B) A product that needs further R&D to achieve a more reliable design which can subsequently be proven in testing.
Thanks for your response and for your groundbreaking work.
Dear Andrea,
Maybe this new super battery is the answer to getting the ecat to market quickly! With the battery supplying power to the load and the ecat as a battery charger the occurrence of a reactor shutdown would be mitigated. For example, charging could be accomplished while a car is not being used. Then of course you could continue to work on resolving the reliability issue with no stress.
You stated recently that your presentation will occur once you have a reliable product.
a) How would you characterize your progress towards this goal?
b) When you make a presentation will it be of a commercial product, or an experimental prototype?

This article about hotfusion might interest you: “Advancing fusion energy through improved understanding of fast plasma particles” (“Unlocking the zig-zagging dance of hot, charged plasma particles that fuel fusion reactions can help to harness on Earth the fusion energy that powers the sun and stars. Two theorists have developed a new algorithm, or set of computer rules, for tracking volatile particles that could advance the arrival of safe, clean and virtually limitless source of energy.”).
Dr. Rossi, thank you for your tremendous effort to bring this technology forward. Regarding current and potential partners, what is the primary criteria for selecting partners? Is it location, scientific skill, available resources, funding, etc.? And, how does an entity make application to become a partner? Thank you in advance for your response.
In the ideal range for the working load resistance, would you consider the E-cat SKL a current source (power out increases with in increasing load resistance) or a voltage source (power out decreases with increasing load resistance)?
Dear Andrea,
You honestly replied to Frank that all you want is a reliable Ecat.
In the past you have more often had reliability issues with the Ecat and a major step was taken by the introduction of a AI controller, if I remember well. No doubt the process is extremely complex and many parameters contribute to the stability of the plasma and energy production, the reason why you choose the AI controller.
There are many reasons for not telling us what exactly is going on, but giving us some idea or aspect may lead to an reaction that can help you further. Just one reaction of your followers may blossom in your inventive brains to a solution. Just wanting to help.
Kind regards and great success, Gerard
I feel your angst, it is frustration mixed with the taste of success. If it were I, could I still concentrate, I would at least consider allowing my progress to backtrack to a prior development level that is STABLE.
I truly hope of your previous versions is in fact stable, and that you kept detailed records to “back up” and restore the stable version.
Dear Andrea,
In Canada, today it is our Remembrance Day holiday.
I have a few questions I hate to bother you with, and if you prefer not to answer now I’ll patiently wait until the demonstration 🙂 :
1- Does the certification of the Ecat SKL involve two separate certifications : one for the control unit and one for the E-cat reactor itself?
The certifying agency might be accustomed to certifying electrical control units of various kinds, but certifying something like the E-cat reactor must be a novel experience for them.
2- Are they aware that the E-cat reactor is a power generator, and are they treating it as such? They have to have access to some of your schematics, which presumably would involve signal power input into the E-cat reactor and also power output.
3- From your recent reply to Frank about a reliable product, is it the output of the E-cat that is the hardest to procure as reliable / consistent?
4- Is this the most problematic aspect in obtaining a certification?
The closest household thing to the E-cat and controller that comes to mind is a home stereo setup. One has a digital music source including a dac and preamp. This corresponds to the control unit. The resultant electrical music signal is sent to the amplifier (which corresponds to the E-cat module), which amplifies that signal and outputs lots electrical power to the power hungry speakers.
But a critical difference : In a home stereo setup, both the music source and the amplifier are connected directly to the mains. In the case of the E-cat only the control unit is connected to the mains ; the E-cat reactor is connected only to the controller! (As I understand it.)
Anyway, may you and your team and the E-cat SKL continue to make great music together.
Mark
this quick note is simply to express an appreciation for you, Team Rossi, and your many new partners in what amounts to a +10 year long marathon soon coming to a culminating milestone . . . .
Most agree, that one of the most compelling applications for which the SKL is both well suited and can offer an immense environmental impact is Electric Vehicles (EVs). Preliminary analysis indicates that perhaps 4 – 6 SKL 95/5 reactors could offer sufficient power for most EVs and allow an 80% to 90% reduction in the batteries required (forecast to be in short supply) and thus allow unlimited EV range without requiring battery recharges (the two big impediments to EV adoption). It also appears that current EV cooling system are more than sufficient to disipate the minimal SKL heat load.
Of course to work in the EV application, the SKL must be able to start-up and run without a mains connection. Your JONP interactions of late seem to indicate limited development and testing of the SKL so far in autonomous start-up (ASU) and running in self-sustain-mode (SSM). A few questions related to this area if you will:
1) Are you confident the SKL can achieve the ASU/SSM features to support the EV application?
2) Are the ASU/SSM features fully engineered into the current SKL design?
3) If not (no to #2), how much effort is required to to engineer ASU/SSM into the SKL?
a) Minimal effort
b) Moderate effort
c) Substantial effort
4) Will the ASU/SSM engineering (#3) be performed by Leonardo of a partner?
Gerard McEk:
1- no
2- not yet
3- no
4- several short tests
5- yes
6- I am confident in the work of our Team
Thank you for your support,

Dear Andrea,
Is it likely that the following types of tests will be carried out before any presentation?
A. Long duration tests of multiple numbers of single E-Cat SKL’s at full load.
B. Cyclic on of testing.
C. Tests where the load is variable either random or cyclic.
D. Tests at elevated or low ambient temperatures.
E. Control of two or more E-Cat SKL’s linked together.
F. Do E-Cat SKL’s have to complete specific tests and minimum individual duration time to determine that the E-Cat SKL design is reliable?
Is reliability determined by you, or is it a group decision, or is reliability determined by a testing authority?
