    1- any PSU can be used. We do not sell the PSU.
    2- see 1
    3- see 1
    4- see 1
    5- depends on the loads and their activation energy demand
    6- see 1
    7- depends on the situations and so far a grid connection is necessary

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    The demonstration of the 5 W Lamp powered by a mini-SKLep has been ongoing for approximately 2 weeks. Let’s take a look at the numbers.

    Energy produced: 5 W times 2 weeks * 7 days/ week * 24 hrs/day = 1,680 W-hr of energy (ignore the small input power and energy).

    The very best Li-Ion battery has a specific energy density of 100 to 265 W-hr/kg and a volumetric energy density of 250 to 670 W-hr/l.

    The specifications for a single mini-SKLep are:

    mass of 30 grams = 0.03 kg

    radius of 3 cm
    height of 3 cm.

    The volume of one mini-SKLep is 84.8 cc = 0.0848 l

    For the 2-week period of observation:
    the computed energy densities are:

    Specific: 1,680 W-hr / 0.03 kg = 56,000 W-hr / kg

    Volumetric: 1,680 W-hr / 0.0848 l = 19,811 W-hr / l

    Conclusion: Therefore, the energy source within the mini-SKLep is not a Li-Ion battery.

    Dear Andrea

    1- Could the format of the PSU sold by Leonardo be the same shape size and format as the miniSKLEP? It could enable simple assemblies in some cases

    Although the option to connect with wires should be kept for cases the source is needed at a short distance from the mains.

    2- I understood that the PSU needs to be matched to the load. Does this mean a 10W mini SKLEP needs a 10W PSU? Or would a smaller one be sufficient.?

    3- Is there a minimum size say 1W in this case?
    4- Or even much less closer to the apparent maximum drive power ?

    5- In the case of assemblies could a 1W OSU be sufficient to start each unit in sequence?

    6- I wonder if there is a design where the required PSU power can be assembled in a similar way the the miniSKLEP

    7- Could the same design format be applied to the inverter or other attached components? Maybe sensors and smart home adapter s too. Maybe in the future to any off grid PSU:/controller could also follow the same basic building block format.

    Best Regards

    Stephen

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    There is an old saying in the Industry. “Time to kill all the Engineers and go into production”. Engineers (I use to be one before turning to the Dark Side to become a lawyer) will continue to change everything to achieve a “Better Solution”. The other Industry saying is “Better is the Enemy of Good Enough.”

    If you have a real, producible product, then Europe alone would buy everything that you could produce. It is going to be a cold winter, and, unfortunately, people will likely die, either directly or indirectly, from the lack of power and heat. The U.S. would buy all you could possibly produce, just to reduce their electric bills (residential and commercial).

    At some point, it is better to go with what you have. Make those improvements that the Engineers always want later. IMHO.

    Wilfried Babelotzky:
    Premature, but the volume reduction would be substantial, albeit I prefer so far not to give numbers, notwithstanding the fact that that we are obtaining substantial results in this sense,

  • Wilfried Babelotzky

    Dear Andrea,
    do you have a first idea in the meantime, how to shrink the SKLep by orders of magnitude?

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    I believe you alluded to a reduction in the size and volume of the mini-SKLeps.

    1. Any word on the new dimensions?
    2. I am still unclear on any communication with the mini-SKLep controller. Can you elucidate?

    Dear Andrea ,

    If i order 1 SKLep100W.-230V-AC Input and 230V-AC Output , can i remove the 230V-AC output and change it to 120V-DC (serieel) for connection with a solar inverter ?

  • Andrea Rossi

    Milan:
    In a case like this you’d need a PSU plugged to the outlet of the grid with a power of 100 or more W, depending on the energy of activation at the start up of the load.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • Andrea Rossi

    Himpe Martin:
    1 not in the same assembly
    2 yes
    3 it depends on the type of the heater, the Ecat could either warm uo the heater to the 50% of its power, or be turned off
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • Himpe Martin

    Dear Andrea ,

    1 If i order 10 SKLep 10 W.-230V AC input & 230V AC output , can i split of some SKLeps to 10V-DC output ?

    2. Is it possible to use 1 or 2 kW SKLep 230V-AC input and DC output on an inverter for solar panels ?

    3. What happens if I connect 1 SKLep-1 kW (230V-AC in / 230V-AC out) to a 2 KW electric heating boiler ?
    a. the SKLep will not work or burn ?
    b. the SKLep gives 1 kW. and the warm-up time is 2x longer than when it gets 2 kW.

    Best Regards & Thanks
    Martin

  • Milan

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    as I understood an older comment of yours, (for some surcharge) I would be able to order a ready made setup like this: 1kW, 230V output, 12V input.

    In such a case, what would the input requirements be? A PSU plugged into the grid. But what rating? Would a tiny 1W PSU suffice?

    Best,
    Milan

    8- yes, Frank Acland has set up the circuit and the power source has been bought from him in the USA and connected to the Ecat, as you can see in the
    backstage whose link id under the video, as well as the link to the calibration of the power source he made in the USA. Besides, he remained close to
    the setup after the start for about one day, during which the values of Volts, Amperes and Watts never changed, always as the ones you can read now.

    Jean Pierre:
    Thank you for your kind concern: actually I am in very good health, thanks to God.
    The answer to your question is yes. Obviously, still remains the necessity to plug the Ecat toan outled of the grid ( so far ).

  • Jean Pierre

    Hi Andrea. Your recent video talk with Frank
    https://youtu.be/B0JBPXcTN8M
    showed you in good health and voice. This is very reassuring and gratifying news.

    One question if I may.

    Can the correct combination of SKLep(s) along with any necessary inverters connected to an inductive device such as a fan heater produce the expected ,normal functioning of said device when connected to the earthed mains?

    Thanks in anticipation of a yes answer to this very important question.

    Keep well.

    Jean Pierre

  • Dear Dott. Andrea Rossi,
    I have listened to your recent interview.

    About the fact that it is important for you, understandably, to reach the 1 million preorders, due to the possibility of retro engineering after the production, to assure an economic safe ground,
    I would like to point you the fact that the point could be not if the big energy companies will retro engineer the ecat, but if they will let you distribute 1 million of ecats. The powers that are behind the energy sector are the most powerful powers of the economy (capable even of wars). The diffusion of 1 million ecats will be for them a ‘black swan’, and they could, simply or underhand, make this possibility to be shipwrecked.
    That is, in my opinion the event you should fear most, not a competitor company.

    Since the beginning of the public ecat era, I have tried to promote your invention through my dedicated blog, I think the only in italian currently working, that I am trying to keep up to date as I can. So all my support!

    Kind regards.

  • Lars Olov

    Dear Andrea,
    So now all different E-cats is merged to one type of E-cat with different power outputs. So there is different sizes but not different types? So there will be just different sizes of boxes? The E-cat input is like the input of the power meter in the live stream? And the output is like a normal house plug in the wall? And for different countrys you deliver input- and output plugs for that country? So if I for example buy from Europe you deliver the E-cat box with Europe plugs for in and out? So I can just plug in for example a radiator like I pluged it into my wall?

  • Lars Olov

    Dear Andrea,
    Is it Franc Acland from Ecatworld who has set up your livestream?

  • Ruedi

    Dear Dr. Rossi,
    what happens if I connect 1 KW of ecat sklep (230V in/230V out) to a 1KW electric heating?
    Will I have the full power or 1 KW or will the AI throttle the power “because of better efficiency”?
    Can I ignore the AI and use the full power if I want to?
    Best regards

    Q2 yes
    Warm Regards,

  • Dan Galburt

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    Power supplies and grounding

    I believe there are 3 readily available gird sourced DC power supply options

    1. The power supply has a 2 prong plug and connects to only the hot wire and neutral wire coming from the AC grid. The 2-prong plug is not polarized so you do not know which pin is connected to the grid AC hot wire, and which pin is connected to the grid AC neutral wire. The power supply does not connect to a grid ground wire. The output DC voltage is floating with respect to gird ground. This configuration is most commonly used for small low voltage DC supplies where the electronics is built into the plug itself.

    2. The power supply has a 3-prong plug and can be plugged in in only one way. The plug pins that connect to the grid hot wire, neutral wire, and ground wire are known. The DC power supply has 2 output terminals and are usually floating with respect to AC grid ground. If the power supply has a metal case, the AC ground pin is connected to the case as a safety ground.
    I believe that this is the type of power supply you are using in your video demo.

    3. The same as 2, but an additional output ground terminal is provided so that either DC output terminal or attached equipment can be safety grounded through the DC power supply.

    A common problem with connecting separate electrical modules are ground loops caused by having multiple grounds that form a circuit that carry current. When several power supplies are used in one setup grounding all floating circuits at a single point is usually best practice.

    All of these power supplies have transformers that isolate the DC output from the AC grid ground.

    Question 1
    You are using option 2 in your video demo system, would option 1 work as well?

    Question 2
    While the 10W SKLep draws very little current you are using a power supply with a 10ampere capability. Would a 1 ampere capability supply work as well?

    Warm Regards,

    Dan Galburt

    Franco:
    To synchronize with the network, which theoretically is possible, you need the authorization of the network authority and a certified authorized contractor for the interconnections.

    good morning Dr. Rossi,
    I am about to increase my order however I need some information ..
    is the mini Sklep able to synchronize with the network? or does it only work in stand alone mode?
    thank you.

  • Ruby

    Dear Andrea,
    The video on Youtube running for 100000 hours is extremely important and convincing for its candor: will you advertise it ?
    Ad majora,

  • Andrea Rossi

    Monti:
    The Ecat must be connected to a power source that has the ground connection, like the average outlets of the grid, that’s all.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • Andrea Rossi

    Francesco Poscetti:
    1. The 100 W is an assembly of 10 x 10 W each
    2. no, because you need the source to be grounded. You can anyway use a battery or a capacitor to accumulate the unused energy made by the Ecat system.
    3. yes !
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • Andrea Rossi

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    1. yes
    2. you can choose either way, depending on the situation: we will discuss this more precisely when we will deliver, depending on your actual situation.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • Andrea Rossi

    Joan:
    I do not, I am convinced that the source of energy the Ecat draws from is the zero point energy (ZPE)
    Warm Regards,

  • Joan

    Dr Rossi,
    Very interesting and convincing the video on Youtube.
    At this point do you think your technology still belongs to the LENR universe ?

  • Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    I understand that certain techniques and designs will be confidential.

    I have an application in mind where I need to generate 36 VDC and nominally 360 W of power.

    1. Will three Stacks of mini-SKLeps, with each Stack containing 12 mini-SKLeps be available? By connecting the Stacks in Series, I should be able to achieve 36 VDC. The combined 36 mini-SKLeps should provide the 360 W of power.

    2. Can I use an AC/DC converter that accepts grid power (120 VAC) and it outputs a few Watts of 12 VDC power to power the Stacks function correctly? Or, am I required to use any AC/DC converters provided with the mini-SKLep Stack?

  • Francesco Poscetti

    Dear Andrea, I have long pre-ordered a 100watt ecat.

    I learned about the 10 watt mini ecats and I liked the idea that they didn’t need to be recharged.

    I have a lot of questions in my head.

    1) Will it be possible to have the same thing on the 100W one?

    I also saw that the ecat must be kept connected to a socket.

    2) Once started, is it not possible to take the necessary current from the ecat output? I was thinking of a mini accumulator / capacitor.

    I’m trying to design a semi-independent system but I really have a lot of gaps to do it.

    3) Are you thinking of doing an idea exchange or support forum for home users?

    here the price of energy has gone up 10 times: from 7cent/kwh to 70cent/kwh and the same for gas. We are in a hurry to get organized.

    Francesco Poscetti

  • Monti

    Dear Andrea,

    you stated many times that the ECatSKLep has to be “well-grounded”. Please forgive me to come back to the issue and maybe the answers to my questions are already given.

    a) “well-grounded” means connected to
    1) the ground electric wire of the home electrical system, i.e. tipically the yellow/green wire here in europe
    2) the neutral electric wire connected to the neutral one the electricity supplier brings at your home, i.e. tipically the blue wire of the home system here in europe
    ?

    b) supposing an SKLEp or Mini with 12V input, it can work powered by a
    1) 12V car-battery (ok, I know this list-item is redundant, but for the sake of precision)
    2) car-battery charger not equipped with the connection to the yellow/green wire of the home system (plug with 2 pins or contacts)
    3) car-battery charger equipped with the connection to the yellow/green wire of the home system (plug with 3 pins or contacts)
    4) power supply similar to the one in the streaming only
    ?

    c) what if the ECat is not “well-grounded”
    1) it breaks
    2) it doesn’t turn on
    3) loosing of warranty
    ?

    d) if c) = 2)
    1) there is an electronic check because is dangerous
    2) it’s a physical requirement
    ?

    Based on your response, maybe I will modify my preorder. And yes, I know I have to be patient and that is not your fault 🙂

    Have a nice Sunday!

  • Andrea Rossi

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    Sorry, I understood your questions and i confirm the answers I already gave, being obvious that every particular application will have specific solutions to be consulted about in collaboration with the Clients’ contractors: for example, it is obvious that any installation will need supports proportional to its weight, currents will have cable fit to their intensity, etc.
    How we make the controls is confidential, as well as how the A.I. controls the voltage.
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.
