    Rupert Jeffreys:
    In a comment lost in the spam and resent to my email you asked to explain something more about the system that generated the discovery of the gravitational waves.
    Here is , in a nutshell, what I have understood.
    It is a 1.1 billion dollars set of twin instruments dubbed LIGO ( Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory ): they are 2 perpendicular arms 2 miles long aimed to detect a gravitational wave generated by the collision of two black holes that, luckily, are distant from the Earth pretty much: 1.3 bllions light years. The 2 arms of the LIGO have been set up in Hanford ( Washington) and Livingston (Louisiana). Between them a laser beam is split and travels both arms bouncing between mirrors. Normally the beams are aligned, but if there is a gravitational wave the laser beams are mismatched by a very, very tiny gap: not enough tiny, though, not to be detected by Super Ligo!
    Warm Regards,

    Frank Acland:
    We are maintaining for long time very high temperatures and causing thermal shocks to test the materials in this period, while our specialists are reducing the volume of the regulation system and the Hi Tech within very tiny volumes.
    Pretty interesting work.

    Dear Andrea,

    Can you explain what you mean when you say you are making “strong solicitations” on the E-Cat X?

    It sounds interesting!

    Tom Conover:
    Yes. When we will hit the massive market (F9) the Competitors will be definitely put out of race from our competitivity. Most of them are, substantially, waiting for the E-Cat in the market to copy it and fulfill the empty boxes they have created to be ready to copy it immediately and compete. But, besides the hurdles put by our patents, at that point they will have to deal with the fact that we will have already the production line in operation and the scale economy will kill any competition. This is , in few words, the strategy Leonardo Corporation is pursuing.

    “Well, that “excess” heat. Within about 40 minutes. gave extra power reactor, about .. (700-380) / 3 = 100W. And, little by little increased temperature (at a rate 1g / min – setting PID controller), and the power first increases, and then began to fall! On the chart you can see everything.”

    Dear Andrea,

    You locked your doors with the E-Cat X inside against spying? And now have opened another development site (factory?) to pursue E-Cat X development (WONDERFUL!!).

    Question: Is the E-Cat X safe from industrial espionage ALL your Competitors?

    Thank you for your kindness in your reply!

    No, it is not a noise, it is important and I think it gives evidence that Stephen Hawking merits the highest recognition from the scientific most important echelons.

    Reader Stefenski in ECW E-Cat World:

    It’s odd that these noise measurements – sorry ‘G Waves’ – have appeared only after The E-Cat powered up

    hehe

  • Ing. Michelangelo De Meo

    Hello dr. Rossi,
    It has been published yesterday on the major French newspaper ” La Tribune ” an article on LENR : on page 10-11 edition of the ‘ February 11, 2016 at number 159 there is the article entitled ” Cold fusion , the hopes of Green Energy Nuclear “. It speaks very well of Leonardo, but also puts in evidence that Brillouin is among your main competitors and Industrial Heat is financing them as their partners; spontaneous comes a question: how can a licensee of Leonardo Corp be at the same time competitor ? We saw that Brillouin made a replication of your effect in Washington copying your Hot Cat, clearly after instructions given by IH, because before their agreement with IH Brillouin was making only electrolytic experiments; after their agreement with IH they got a technological ‘loophole’.
    I would like to read your comment about this and about the fact that IH has announced that they are making agreements with many competitors of Leonardo.
    For example the sister of Ing La Gatta ( Ing La Gatta works for ENEA in the LNR field competing against you) has released an interview sayng that her brother is working with IH in North Carolina factory…
    Thank you if you can answer

    This information is contained in an agreement between the Customer and IH and this agreement is under NDA.

  • Bernie Koppenhofer

    Dr. Rossi: Does the customer pay for the heat produced by IH’s plant on a monthly basis or at the end of the contract?

    gravitons are bosons, therefore are massless, therefore their speed is c.

  • Buck

    Andrea,

    I agree, it is a great day for science with the discovery of gravitational waves.

    I will be eager to the answer to the question of speed. We talk about the speed of light as a constant. However, what is the speed of gravity? Does it behave like a constant?

    Wow . . . what a day.

  • Andrea Rossi

    Dear Readers of the JoNP:
    Today Nature published the discovery and measurement, for the first time in History, of the gravitational waves.
    This discovery, from the Caltech, MIT, Ligo and Virgo scientific collaboration, gives evidence not only of the gravitational waves, but also of the Black Holes, because it has been made possible from the crash between two Black Holes. This is not only a birthday gift for Albert Einstein, who theorized the gravitational waves 100 years ago, but also for Stephen Hawking, who dedicated his life to the discovery and the analysis of the Black Holes.
    This discovery gives birth to Gravitational Astrophysics, that will allow a more comprehensive understanding of the Universe than the sole Astrophysic based on the analysis of the photons.
    Warm Regards

    Dear Andrea,
    Can you tell me if the E-CatX is using,time wise,proportionally more fuel than the low temp E-Cat? If so, perhaps you are operating the low temp device in a first derivative mode(dE/dT)and the X version in a second derivative mode(dE/dT^2). If so, you may be operating in an accelerated pace with the X version that could lead to a run away event that may produce a large burst of energy since your fuel contains a large amount of energy. Be careful.
    Cautious regards.

  • Sebastian

    Andrea:

    When you started the 1MW E-cat test, you had to be operational for 350 out of 400 days. So 50 days where you can have the plant be out of service.

    Could you tell if you have more or less than 15 of those 50 days left?

    Warm Regards

    1 MW E-Cat stable
    E-Cat X operating and still very promising.
    Surely we will work also in France. F9.
    The E-Cat X is now developed in a new factory wherein Leonardo Corporation will dedicate its production.
    We are already preparing the structure for a massive production, F9. I am working with a US engineer expert of the involved matter indirectly in contact with aerospace concerns. He is not involved in the 1MW issue. He is in the scientific commettee of Leonardo Corporation.

  • Maurice Bernadotte

    Dr Andrea Rossi:
    can we have an update today?
    Besides: have you programmed to make your plants also in France?
    Last question: some of the engineers working on the 1MW plant is working also on the ECat X?
    Thank you if you can answer

    Very difficult to answer: the 1MW plant is a reality in operation in an industry, while the Xes are R&D.

    Dear Andrea,

    aside from efficiency values, from economic forecasts and from F9, can you tell us
    about your personal satisfaction as engineer and scientist:

    given =100 the value of your personal satisfaction with the classical
    E-Cat module (1MW plant), what are the values for the standard E-Cat X
    and for the new E-Cat Comple-X respectively? I promise I will not try
    to extrapolate the COP or other numbers

  • Jeff

    Dr Andrea Rossi:
    Comgratulations for your US Patent.
    Anout the E-Cat X: are you working on it with the same team working in the 1MW plant?
    Thanks

    I am afraid the certification process does not work that way. The idea to use the E-Cat-X (F9) to recharge batteries is not wrong, this could be one of the many purposes.

    250 kW E-CAT have a same cop about 20kW E_CAT ?
    Have you an idea about 1 MW plant COP ?

    Thank-you

  • Aillas

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I am not sure why everyone is so fixated on getting an Ecat-X working off the grid (ultracapacitors, batteries) straight out of the box. There is nothing to stop the user from plugging their Ecat-X into an AC inverter/charger (bought separately) coupled with a rechargeable battery, instead of a regular wall outlet. The Ecat-X won’t “know” whether it’s using grid electricity or power generated by itself and stored in a rechargeable battery. Such an after-market “loop” solution would bypass the need for certification, the only question being whether such a combo is actually safe to run. Do you think it would be safe, or can be made safe with sufficient R&D?

  • Dear Andrea,

    Have you tried using your E-Catx to run all the overhead lighting in
    1) your control room?
    2) the 1MW freight container?
    3) the laboratory nearby?

    Thanks as usual for taking the time to reply. We all appreciate hugely your updates/comments.
    Keep well.
