1. no, I just said that it can operate inside in case of impossibility to keep it outside
2. no, but it will work in a system and if the outside system is paralyzed, everything inside that system could become unoperable. It depends, obviously, from the specific situations.

You responded “The Ecat SKL has not necessarily to operate outdoor.”
1. Do you mean that the eCat SKL will not operate outside?
2. Do you mean that the eCat SKL will not function at below freezing temperatures (0 deg C)?
Dear Andrea, Based upon your recent comments I have a suggested scenario for immediate release of the ecat if the process of restarting the reactor is something that any layman can perform. In a grid-tied configuration the grid would automatically assume the load in the event of an inadvertent reactor shutdown. Then the owner could perform the necessary procedure for restart. Compare this with the refueling frequency of a fossil-fueled generator currently available, about 100 days for the ecat vs daily for the generator. The restart procedure would considered as part of the required maintenance of the ecat. Then after you have determined how to prevent the shutdown, units already in the field could be retrofitted. You have probably already considered this option but I wanted to make sure.
Stephen:
1. yes
2. not yet
3. the COVID obviously creates delays
4. we do not have e-cars
5. see 4
6. not yet
7. not yet
8. no

May I ask some update questions on how the certification process is proceeding?
1. Is it still proceeding well?
2. Do you have an estimate yet on the end date?
3. Is it impacted badly by COVID restrictions or have good work arounds been found?
4. Has any feed back from the Certification body required modification to the e-cars at assemblies?
5. If 4 has that impacted the certification process or has it been easily resolved?
6. Is unit level certification complete or near completion?
7. Is assembly level certification near completion?
8. Are there other aspects requiring certification such as manufacturing processes and production?
9. Are you able to say anything about the next steps in the process?
10. Are you happy with how that process is proceeding so far?
11 once you get certification will you be able to proceed more or less immediately with initial production?
Dear Andrea.
Will a significant number of secret test facilities be installed before the presentation, which will be presented as references in this context?

You once told me that a presentation will likely be given in Q1 of 2021.
Given the discussion going on, I assume it will be later.
a. Any idea when a presentation can be expected?
b. Is the mass production of eCats already started or are there still issues to be solved?
With many power generating wind-stations frozen in Texas and thus failing to provide much needed electrical power, can you safely say that the eCat SKL will properly operate at below freezing temperatures?
Dear Andrea, When an inadvertent shutdown of the ecat occurs does it require human intervention to restart the reactor or can the reaction be restarted automatically by the controller?
Dear Andrea, The article by Leonard Weinstein is interesting although he did not discuss what I perceive to be the least expensive option available which is a grid-tied SKL in which the grid supplies high power, short term bursts of energy necessary to operate high power appliances. This configuration eliminates the expensive, life limited battery pack, an appreciable expense!
I understand that reliability is not just a matter of a few math calculations and only time can tell us if the expected reliability has been achieved or not.
Nevertheless, it would be interesting to know how many days did you manage to run continuously an eCat SKL right now at more than 80% total output:
a) less than 10 days
b) between 10 and 100 days
c) more than 100 days
Thanks a lot if you can respond.

Why do I not doubt your work despite endless criticism from both amateurs and scientists.
Despite the education I have received, I have my own view of the world order, which is different from what teachers and textbooks put into me.
It is naive to imagine a vacuum as “emptiness” on the basis only of the fact that we do not see material objects there. Any point in space is saturated with an infinite number of electromagnetic and gravitational fields of various intensities, an infinite number of radiation of all ranges of various intensities, including an infinite number of photons – all from an infinite number of objects. And any point is permeated by an infinite number of elementary particles of various energies (of which we know, I think, only a small part, most, I think, is simply inaccessible to our measurements). This means that the energy density at every point in space tends to infinity.
Proceeding from this, it is unreasonable to say that by taking some part of the energy from any point we violate the law of conservation of energy, it is only transformed.
I failed to understand the physical principles outlined in your article (not enough education, I am not a physicist), but this only concerns the way of transforming energy from an infinite source.
I think this is possible, since it does not contradict my ideas.
I wish you success in your hard work and in the difficult confrontation with skeptics.
Looking forward to the presentation and market launch of E-Cat.
I think that the phenomena are still a few orders of magnitude more complex than what can be represented by mathematical formulas – which I believe are simplifications or abstractions.
In the proposed video, the rings are passive, but I wonder what would happen if the rings had one or even more internal drives or energy sources.
It would be nice if someone could convert Andrea Rossi’s paper into a 3D video so that the mathematically described phenomena become more comprehensible.
Frank Acland:
That answer is correct in the context of what is proposed in the paper http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
but remember that the theoretical system proposed in this paper could be wrong, albeit I think it is right.
Should somebody be able to explain to me which equation is wrong, or which calculation is wrong, I would be surely ready to correct my opinion, but the criticism I received so far is just tautological, adhering to this paradigma: ” Since the electron model described in the quantum mechanics is different, this paper is wrong”: this sounds like the Aristotelic “ipse dixit” more than a serious critic and obviously I can’t answer to somebody that says “you are wrong because you do not respect what others say”… starting from the point-like nature of the electron: is somebody able to get explication from ipse qui dixit and explain to me how the electron can be point-like without implying an infinite electric field ?
Warm Regards,
A.R.
So if someone asks me where the energy gain in the E-Cat comes from, do you think it is correct to answer (as CC wrote)
“the gain of energy is generated by the electron transition from a coherent to an incoherent state, assuming an electron distance in the coherent status that is equal to the electron Compton wavelength”
Aleksei Savchenko,
thanks for your kind reply. I’m sure, your reputation is not lost and your considerations are very intriguing.
I also agree with you, saying ‘I don’t know’ is easy, expressing an opinion is always commendable.

The cement industry is known as a producer of high CO2 emissions. 6 to 8 percent of global CO2 emissions are due to the production of cement.
We need cement as a binding agent for sand and gravel for making concrete. It is an integral part of the construction of houses, hospitals, bridges and highways.
Attempts are currently being made to capture and store the released CO2, the technology for this is still being developed and tested.
The total energy consumption of the cement industry is 90% thermal energy and 10% electrical energy.
Thermal energy is used for the fire process in the rotary kiln of the cement works. These are fossil fuels and alternative fuels (waste and old tires).
This emits 590 kilograms of CO2 per ton of cement. In 2018, 33.7 million tons of cement were produced in Germany. 20 million tons of CO2 were emitted.
By using the E-CAT, the thermal energy is produced electrically and the CO2 emissions of this important industry are avoided.
Dear CC,
Your phrase for the source of energy gain:
“ zero point energy in a system wherein the dV/dt with high dV increases the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the ZBV and the deriving matterwaves” –
is hard for understanding. Using this phrase very difficult to create E-Cat.
Best regards,
Aleksei
Dear Aleksei Savchenko:
Thank you for answering my comment.
I suppose the primary source is the zero point energy in a system wherein the dV/dt with high dV increases the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the ZBV and the deriving matterwaves; the conservation of energy should be conserved, since you have a transfer of energy, not a creation of energy. This reminds me the Tesla’s dream of energy from the atmosphere around us.
Best regards to you,
CC
