Will the SKLep grid or SSM have some form of wireless control system? Such as WiFi or BlueTooth to allow various operational parameters to be easily adjusted via our phones?
If there is no current wireless comms, maybe have a think about adding it in future versions? As these chips are less than $0.20 in large quantities, there would be little impact on the cost vs the ability to easily control and tailor many operational parameters.
Recall my application proposes to use three 100W SKLep-SSM units which are tied in series to produce 36VDC at 300W to drive an Enphase IQ7A micro-inverter. My testing with prototype substitute power supplies (for the yet to be provided SKLep units) show that the IQ7A can output a maximum of 357W of AC power (it has a 97% conversion efficiency).
1. May I assume that each 100W SKLep-SSM unit will lower its output voltage to maintain a maximum output of 100W? Or will the unit shutdown?
2. Using the new SKLep-SSM devices to create the 100W SKLep-SSM version, can you tell me the external dimensions of the 100W unit (still 7cm x 7cm x 9cm)?
Let me rephrase my question since I did not word it well….I was making a conclusion, not rephrasing something you posted.
I conclude from your posts that if you connect a battery that is in a low charge state to the ECAT SSM, the ECAT will not charge the battery since the current draw will be too large and the ECAT will turn off, even with the output level of the ECAT set to the nominal value of the battery voltage.
Hello Dr. Rossi
I asked chatGPT to ask you a question that I submit.
What are your future plans to develop the commercialization of your invention?
Can you clarify for me that the latest version of your invention does not have an on/off button and it is always on.
All my support for your work
Best regards
A battery is a time dependent load during charging…when fully discharged, the battery can have extremely low impedence, accepting a large current. As it approaches full charge, the charging current drops.
Please confirm my understanding of your recent post that you cannot charge a battery directly from the ECAT SSM. Eg to charge a 5V nominal battery, set the voltage to 5V, and connect the battery. But the effective load will be too small, and the ECAT will switch off.
senpai:
1- the Clients will know that they cannot overcharge; if not when they will connect another overload, again the Ecat will turn off: when it is turned off he cannot know the intentions of the Client: we have not been yet able to make our A.I. clairvoyant…
2- no

>>The Ecat returns in operation automatically as soon as a proper load is connected.
1) How does the Ecat sense/recognize/measure that a proper load is connected when it is switched off?
2) If it uses some of its own power, would that count into the assumed 100.000h of operation time?
Dear AR,
I am really excited about the new SSM unit – hope to get my hands on one really soon!
Couple of questions:
1. a load of 10 ohm resistor would cause the voltage to drop to 10V and deliver 10 watt
2. a load of 20 ohm resistor would keep voltage at 12V and deliver 7.2 watt

It is interesting to compare the efficiency and the related costs between the Ecat SKLep SSM and the best available solar panels: a solar panel with a power of 6 kW generates an yearly average of 0.9 kWh/h of energy, in a geographic area with a normal metheorological situation, like, for example, New York, Paris, Rome, Tokyo (source: PGIS, Photovoltaic Geographical Information System)

Congratulations on the release of the SKLep SSM 12V-10W datasheet which I hope will result in many pre-orders.
The Mini SKLep starts when a load is measured that is no more than 10 watts.
If the 10 watts are exceeded, the Mini SKLep switches off.
When the load is below 10 watts again.
A. The Mini SKLep stays off?
B. The Mini SKLep cannot be restarted automatically?
C. What needs to be done to start it again?
D. The Mini SKLep restarts?
Claudio Rossi:
We assume that the persons that ordered small amounts of units ( up to several hundreds ) will confirm the orders, while the individuals or companies that made orders for big amounts have been contacted and vetted; when we discovered that a person or a company does not have the necessary bases, we put them out of the list we consider reasonably granted. This must not mean we cancelled their pre-orders: this just means that we do not count on them to reach the target, therefore if, as we expect, when we will ask them to put the amount due in an escrow account they will cancel the order, they will not affect the patrimony of the 1 million units pre-ordered that we have counted upon.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea,
Thanks for you answer about the maximum current limit, which I now understand would be 10 Amps @ 1 Volt output.
1. What I assume is that in case we connect a load that would lead to a current in excess of 10 Amp at 1 Volt output, that this would lead to a switch-off because of overcurrent. Is that right?
2. Can you also tell us what the minimum load must be, or does the SKLep always supply 12 Volt, also when no load is connected to it like a charged battery?
Anyway, these and and the other values are interesting properties. I can’t wait to apply SKLep’s I ordered.
Kind regards, Gerard
the SSM datasheet states
1) The cell is switched ON when connected to an allowed load Rload. Reaction Time from OFF to ON is < 1 s.
2) Iout = Vout /Rload .The cell is switched OFF when Rload is disconnected or Ioad exceeds Max Operational Power
a) Doesn't that mean if I connect a 15W light bulb to a 10W SKLep-SSM that the light and/or the Ecat will continuously switch on and off?
b) Wouldn't it be better from a user perspective if the power would then be limited to the max. allowed power instead of switching off?
I have several questions concerning how you handle existing orders in context of SSM developments:
1. Is the grid connected Sklep still a thing, when there is the SSM version?
2. Is the price tag going to be the same for the SSM version?
3. Are existing orders automatically transformed into SSM orders?
4. If 3 is a no – how do you as a customer transform the order into an SSM order?
I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I don’t have to agree with your strategy but I appreciate very much that you have one. Your work is of huge importance for the world and you will be able to deliver it will mean (to me, of course) that the world has progressed enough to be able to use a clean and friendly source of energy.
Best wishes to you and your family, your colleagues, and the readers of this world
In a recent article on Nature, it is reported that in the last decades the number of scholarly articles has skyrocketed, whilst the number of disruptive discoveries has plummeted.
Background
============
From Data sheet:
Output Voltage Vout……………. 1-12 V DC +- 1% (ON), 0 V (OFF)
Max Operational Power ………….. 10 W
Operational Current 2) Iout ………Function of Vout
2) Iout = Vout /Rload .The cell is switched OFF when Rload is disconnected or load exceeds Max Operational Power.
You have confirmed that at 12V output the max current is “0.8333 ( three periodic )”

REQUEST:
Can you also confirm my understanding/interpretation of the specs that at 1V output, the max current is 10.0 amps?
Dear Andrea for a lot of reasons that you mentioned in a recent answer, you have decided that all is tied to the goal of one million E-cat pre-ordered.
Should this goal be reached (and time passing shows that it’s not so easy) what could guarantee that a part of the orders received wouldn’t be cancelled at the moment of paying and confirm?
In such a case, to avoid changes in the unit price, more time will pass in a sort of back and forth waiting for reaching one million orders confirmed and paid?
Or how you think to go on?
I read the datasheet of the SSM: fantastic.
I can’t wait to watch the live streaming of this masterpiece. Where will I find the link to it ?

HI DR Rossi
I remember some talking about a eCat the size of D type battery. If you could make one the size and shape of AA battery with the same voltage and amperage capability. This could be a drop in replacement for the AA battery.
Alfonso David Troisi Lopez:
We are organizing a marketing action that will start the same day of the start of the Ecat SKLep SSM live streaming, but it will be necessarily limited from the fact that we will start manufacturing and delivering only after we will receive pre-orders for at least 1 million units: we cannot make pressing by means of a strong marketing action until we will not be ready to deliver.
Why we will need to reach orders for at least 1 million units ? For the following issues:
1- we need to reach the guarantee to have the financial structure to manufacture the Ecats with the necessary economy scale to have a competitive price
2- we received from all the world thousands of pre-orders whose aim is only to make reverse engineering, and we need to have the financial force to
compete and to defend in Court our patents. As soon as we will start delivering, will immediately start the reverse engineering process
3- to be effective, a worldwide marketing pressing needs huge investments
4- to think that if we start delivering, then we will reach just like that 1 million units, is quite naif: the sole thing which will reach huge numbers
of enthusiasts is reverse engineering, especially in Countries wherein the patents grant the same protection of an umbrella under the Niagara Falls. All this will not help serious investors to sustain this technology, also for the risk that this technology could be, in this case, discredited from commercial, technological and safety-related shortcomings and/or fraud.
To copy an Ecat is not difficult, to sell it is easy, to make it safe, technologically perfect and so robust under any point of view, so to avoid to be destroyed from the many enemies that such products will unavoidably have, is very, very difficult.
We are spending a lot of our money to reach our target, without getting cash, and I assure you it is not funny. But it is necessary.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Thanks for bringing the Mini Sklep SSM datasheet forward, we look forward to streaming 24/7.
some questions if I may about the Mini Sklep SSM:
1) Do you confirm that the output voltage can be set from a minimum of 1V to a maximum of 12V DC?
2A) If yes at point 1), is there a trimmer on the Mini Sklep SSM to do this?
2B) If not, does the Mini Sklep have an internal regulator that automatically reduces the output voltage to stay within the maximum 10W output?
3) Do you confirm that the Mini SKlep switches on as soon as it “feels” a load which at the set or automatically regulated voltage (2A or 2B) does not absorb more than 10W?
4) do you confirm that there is no switch or electrical contact to “start” the Mini SKlep SSM but does it start as soon as it “feels” a load?
Gerard McEk:
No, because being W = V x A, the max value of A is not a number, it is an integral; anyway, you are correct: if V = 12, then A = 100/12 = 0.8333 ( three periodic )
Warm Regards,
A.R.
Dear Andrea,
Thank you for publishing the SSM SKLep data sheet.
Reading it as an electrical engineer, I noticed that the maximum output current (Imax) is not mentioned. Can we assume that this Imax will be reached when the SKLep is at 12Volt and producing 10Wh/h? In that case Imax would be 833 mA.
Thank you if you could answer.

Dear Dr. Rossi:
There will be many potential application for E-cat Sklep in the future. Do you supply the customers with finished output interface or only supply the core for DIY.
DC 12V with round socket and DC5V with USB both are very important application, can the E-cat Sklep SSM be integreted with them.
Dear Dr. Rossi,
Will the SKLep grid or SSM have some form of wireless control system? Such as WiFi or BlueTooth to allow various operational parameters to be easily adjusted via our phones?
If there is no current wireless comms, maybe have a think about adding it in future versions? As these chips are less than $0.20 in large quantities, there would be little impact on the cost vs the ability to easily control and tailor many operational parameters.
