Dear A. Rossi,
in the specifications of the Ecat SKLed state: “Operational Lifetime: up to 100,000 hours”. Does this mean that the Ecat SK Led can continuously emit light for up to 100,000 hours without being recharged?
Or does this mean that the lamp lasts for up to 100,000 hours, but that it sometimes needs to be recharged during that period?
Best wishes,
Pol Dekyvere
Hello Mr. Rossi
I’ve been following your development for at least 11 years now.
Your announcement of being able to purchase electricity directly from the E-Cat SKL has made me dream of an independent energy supply since then.
Would it be possible to equip a wagoon of a train with so many E-Cat SKL that it could operate an electric locomotive?
If so, I think it would be worth considering.
Huge amounts of metal in the overhead lines could be saved, electricity that is lost through long lines and much more.
This train could also run on routes that are not yet electrified.
Dear Dr Andrea Rossi:
when I read that your patent US 9,115,913 B1 granted in August 2015 has been replicated in 2019 by the US Navy scientists, whose replication has been published by the USPTO in 2021, I definitely turned my opinion that your technology would be impossible into a strong support of the importance of the work made by you and your team.

A few weeks ago, I ordered already 2 Ecat SKLeds via the website https://ecat.com/, but I noticed that you or the webmaster removed all the other information from that website. So people don’t see anymore that the Ecat SKLed is only one/(the first) item that ‘lights up a sustainable world’, but that you also have heat and electrical energy solutions in the near future. Why did you remove all the other interesting information from the website?
I have issues with net metering schemes, but that’s a conversation for another time and place.
I have a 100 amp 2 leg electrical service box. That equals 24Kw maximum so you can see the problem. I installed my own service, an electrician would have been about $2k 12 years ago. ($700+$50 hardware), I spent the extra $50 and installed a 200 amp system. It’s only limited by the 100 amp breaker. For the cost of a 200 amp breaker and a phone call to the utility, I can upgrade to 200 amp. I thought $50 cheap insurance against future possibilities.
100 amp is standard so most everyone would need to upgrade their electrical entry service. They also need heavy cabling if they don’t already have electric heat. Also, should everyone upgrade, the utility will need to do the same. This will be reflected in your utility bill. Probably, all this cost would pay for an E-cat heating system.in which case, none of these upgrades are necessary.
Dear Andrea
I assume that a SKL can easily be equipped for charging two independent batteries.
One to service buildings and one to ensure the necessary power supply to SKL itself.
Both of these will probably be easily supplied from the same SKL unit?
Regards.
Svein H. Vormedal.
Dear Dr Rossi,
About the Puthoff paper, here is another important paper of his, also published on a peer reviewed physics magazine, that confirms the coherence of his hypothesis: “Extracting Energy and Heat from the Vacuum”, published on Physical Review, September 1993, pp 1562-1565

Thank you for the precisation: It was obvious that the homonym guy was not you; eventually our IT guy discovered he was just a troll, as I suspected due to the “different intelligence” of his comments.
The pre-orders campaign is good. Obviously the mass will arrive after the presentation. Until then it is useless to publish data.
Warm Regards,

I see there is another Larry on this blog with some issues wrt posts…so I will use a bit more unique name, LarryG
I wrote about ideas for the demo “show” and supported the USB version of DC connection.
Probably like many here, I am on pins and needles re qty of orders….how close are you to the 1KK? Factor of 10 to go? Factor of 2? Some little hint?
Has the initial spike of orders dwindled off so will be tough to hit the target without more promotion activities?
The E-Cat SKLed is a remarkable engineering feat.
I have been trying to hold back my enthusiasm until your November 25th presentation and the announcement of the delivery date for my orders. 🙂
However, your projected date of 2022 for the E-Cat electric generator ties in with my order for a single-motor Telsa Cybertruck expected delivery in 2023. Has your team’s work advanced to the point where you could use specifications from Tesla about their 4680 battery pack to build an interface?
Every Tesla Cybertuck owner would be interested in this E-Cat electric generator option.
Here is an incredibly well engineered camper option for the Cybertruck that you may enjoy viewing. https://www.cyberlandr.com/
Wishing you continued good luck on your R&D efforts.
P.S. If the total number of E-Cat SKLed orders gets stuck at 999,999, please let me know and I’ll and 2 more units to my order to put you over the top. 🙂
Dear Andrea, Due to the variation of net-metering geographically and the lowering of battery prices I am warming up to an off-grid configuration. Tesla’s million mile battery is projected to cost about $100/kWh. Most residential requirements would be satisfied with 50 kWh/day which could be provided from a 1 kW ecat and a 26 kWh battery. The freedom of not dealing with a greedy utility company is a major benefit of this scenario!
You mentioned recently that the next e-cat product would be an electric generator, possibly available in 2022. Would the generated current be AC or DC?
In California the electrical utilities use net metering where the consumer is credited for their power generated so if you generate the same amount of power as you draw from the grid you owe ($0) not ($$) as you suggested. In my example of a 16.6 kW electric furnace you may need a 25 kW ecat to handle the turn-on surge of the fan motor whereas using a grid tie configuration you would only require < 1 kW ecat to supply power for the entire house load. Other generators generally cost proportionally to the power generated. So in our example the ecat required to power the heating unit that you propose would cost 25 times the cost of the grid-tied ecat. I choose the grid-tied configuration!
Dear Mr. Rossi,
Mr. Vormedal mentioned inductive load isn’t a problem with a battery.
I am not an electrician. How many kwh should an integrated battery have in an E-Cat SKL of f.e. 10 KW?
Or does it depend of the needed inductive load in the household. The biggest consumer of inductive load is surely a vacuum cleaner, f.e. with 1 KW. Does this mean a 1 kwh battery integrated in an E-Cat SKL is enough?
Best regards
Urs
Dear Mr Rossi
Regarding the plan to possibly launch ECAT SKL in 2022. Will this be a “pure” Leonardo Corp product like SKLed or will it be a product developed together with a global partner

@ Larry and Adam.
Dear colleagues,
The process of energy extracting from Physical Vacuum is not so simple, as do you think, otherwise it would be applied everywhere.
So far there is no normal theory of this process, since it is known that God does not give horns to a butting cow. Our moral level is not yet high enough for this.
Experimenters, such as Tesla, Rossi, etc., can find some things. But this is purely intuitive.
Best regards,
Aleksei

So far, this information is confidential. Obviously, once the Ecat SKLed will be distributed, every Customer will be able, if he will desire, to measure the spectrum with a spectrometer, but we are not yet there.
Warm Regards,

P.S.
The rest of your comment has been deleted because unpolite and exposes your lack of knowledge of the reference cited by Adam: perhaps instead of offending a Reader you should understand what he writes.
What are the operating ranges for the E-CAT SKL? Can it be mounted in the attic of a home in Arizona in the middle of summer ? What about in the attic of a home in northern Alaska in the middle of winter? Understanding the limits of the operating range will help others innovate new uses for this exceedingly versatile light.
What do you think about making an E-Cat battery charger product? Batteries that need charging are everywhere these days, and it might be an easier route for you than a generator at this point.
Dear A. Rossi,

Since the news of the SKLed was released have the pre-orders been:
1, as expected?
2, higher than expected?
3, lower than expected?
4, Do you expect the basic design to be radically different?
5, Do you expect to have a number iterations of the design for the presentation?
many thanks for any reply.
