    Dear Andrea,

    You replied to Raffaele that “this is not possible”.
    I can’t understand that at all. Do you think that the car manufacturers are not prepared to develop such a setup or do you see fundamental problems? Let’s leave aside the volume of the E-Cats. 10 KW E-CATs could certainly be packed into the trunk of a suitable car. Including recuperation, this should be sufficient for continuous urban traffic to be able to drive 24/7 and even charge the battery. My point is not that the adaptation electronics still need to be developed, because that would just be hard work and not research.

    Best Regards
    Wilfried

    Raffaele Bongo:

    Good dream!

    If I drive my EV which takes 1.5 kWh/10km at a speed of 90 kph. In 6.7 minutes I have driven 10 km. That means you consume 60/6.7 x 1.5 kWh in 1.0 hour = 9.0 kWh. The power to drive the car is then 9 kW!
    E-cat of 3 kW is not enough! You need 6 kW more from the battery!

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    If possible, I would recommend public telemetry systems, completely sperate from your internal usage.

    This could be as simple as a SatComm Tracker for each EV. Then give the public access to the SatComm channel.

    EV telemetry is a little tricker. Maybe a separate telemetry or an internal television showing the EV dashboard.

    It sounds like you will have 3 – 5 drivers.

  • Raffaele Bongo

    Hello Dr. Rossi
    If it is obvious to charge the control car to 100%, it is in my opinion: less obvious to charge the vehicle equipped with the E-Cat generator identically.
    By providing higher energy of a few kW/h more than the average consumption of the car, the E-Cat will charge the battery throughout the demonstration.
    Assuming that you leave with half the charge of a 60 Kwh battery and that the E-Cat provides 3 kWh more than the vehicle’s consumption, after 6 hours your car will end up 80% charged.
    For me, it goes beyond the dream to start at 50% and finish at 80%, it goes beyond the dream…
    All my best wishes for success in this beautiful demonstration.
    Kind regards
    Raffaele Bongo

    have you been driving in the EV with the ecat by yourself?

  • Albert

    Will the day when I will be enjoying free power for my home arrive soon?

  • Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    On the EV eCat demonstration:
    1. Will the position (i.e., the GPS coordinates) be broadcast in real-time and available to the public?
    2. Will speed, battery SOC, and other car parameters be broadcast in real-time and available to the public?
    3. Will the event be captured for later presentation on YouTube?
    4. How long (# hours) will each driver steer the car?
    5. Is the racetrack in Italy?

    Dear Dr Rossi,
    The highest part of use of electricity in the world is to make heat: make an Ecat heater, focus the advertising on this market and all the rest will come eventually.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    You Posted:
    “What counts is not the speed, but the comparison of the charge of the Ecat powered car and the same model car without the Ecat, having both cars running at the same time at the same speed and compare the charges of their batteries before and after the race: the expectation is that the car with the Ecat will have the battery full after the whole 6 hours of race, while the other will have the battery discharged after at the most 3 hours. The two cars will run always at a distance of hundreds of meters between them, to avoid either one take advantage of the air vacuum.”

    Speed does play a factor. If both cars were stationary, the difference would not exist.

    A sample estimate from a Tesla Model 3 has a power efficiency of

    kW = 0.0056 * (speed in mph)**2 + 0.1638 * speed in mph + 6.1894.

    This equation will change for other that a Tesla Model 3.

    You must select a speed for both EVs such that the non-equipped eCat EV, when initially fully charged, runs out of charge within 2 (or 3) hours, when run at a constant speed, except for any short pit stops.

    For example, if the EV you selected has a 60kW-hrs battery system capacity and you want it to fully discharge in 2 hours (for the non-equipped EV), you would an energy consumption rate of 30 kW.

    On the Tesla Model 3, that would indicate a speed of about 80 mph. So, speed does matter.

    The other suggestion I would offer is:

    1. At the end of 6 hours, when the eCat equipped EV if tested
    2. Quickly remove the eCat equipment (if this is possible)
    3. Continue the demonstration at the same conditions,
    4. Until the EV runs out of charge.
    5. Then the same measurements are performed.

    Will both vehicles have telemetry made available in real time? Such as position, speed, and SOC?

    Dear Dr. Rossi

    I totally agree with what you said to Mats Heijkenskjold and Steven N. Karels.

    considering these premises on the 2 EV Vehicles:

    1) same Brand
    2) same Model
    3) same Size in KWh of the Battery

    and considering that the only difference between the 2 EV Vehicles will be:

    4) the one “prepared” by you and your Team will contain “in addition” only the ECat Modules + the interfacing electronics between the Ecat and the EV Vehicle

    The speed with which the EV Vehicles will travel on the racetrack does not matter, but if:

    5) after 2-3 hours the Ev vehicle without Ecat having exceeded the KM foreseen by its WLTP cycle, will stop
    6) while after 6 hours the same EV vehicle with the same Size of battery in KWh will still have the battery charged…..

    the only possible explanation for this thing will be that the energy consumed to advance along the racetrack that EV vehicle with Ecat on board for 6 hours without ever stopping, will have been supplied, only and exclusively, from Ecat!!!

    If I understand correctly:

    7) the selected racetrack will allow you to always have the 2 EV vehicles “in sight” while they travel on it
    8) the change of drivers at the wheel of the Vehicle with Ecat on board will last a few seconds and will be done in a “specially chosen” area so that everything is perfectly “visible”.
    9) The Ecat and the control electronics will be easily identifiable inside the EV Vehicle “prepared” by you and your Team

    in addition, the verification:

    A) of the “size” of the battery of the 2 EV vehicles
    B) of the SoC at the start of the 2 EV vehicles
    C) of the SoC at the arrival of the EV Vehicle with Ecat
    D) of the SoC of the EV Vehicle without ECat when it stops

    10) will be done by an independent person who is an expert in the EV Vehicle Model selected for the Demonstration, with specific instrumentation for that EV vehicle

    I kindly ask you to confirm or deny these “suppositions/desires” of mine 😉

    If what is described above were actually verified in your demonstration I absolutely agree with you that the speed with which the 2 EV vehicles will travel on the racetrack is NOT “absolutely” important!!! 😉

    I thank you in advance for the answers/confirmations/denials that you will want to give me.

    best regards

    Maico

    Dear Andrea,

    I perfectly understood the idea for the EV test, will be very,very interesting to follow!

    I just wanted to correct the statement of EV cars having high normal speeds.

    Mats Heijkenskjold and Steven N. Karels:
    What counts is not the speed, but the comparision of the charge of the Ecat powered car and the same model car without the Ecat, having both cars running at the same time at the same speed and compare the charges of their batteries bofore and after the race: the expectation is that the car with the Ecat will have the battery full after the whole 6 hours of race, while the other will have the battery discharged after at the most 3 hours.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Facts:
    1. Normal (non-equipped) EV will stop after 2 hours.
    2. Test will last for 6 hours.
    3. Driving faster than normal will decrease overall range.

    Assumptions
    1. Present EVs have a battery range around 250 to 300 miles on a single charge, at normal speeds.

    Assertions:
    1. Average speed will likely be between 90 and 120 mph.
    2. This will cause the non-equipped EV to run out of battery charge in about two hours.

    Suggestions/Questions:
    1. It is not important for the text demonstration to have the equipped EV end with 100% SOC.
    2. It might be safer to end up with an 80% to 90% SOC on the equipped EV (and more believable).
    3. Do you plan a crew change during the 6-hour run?
    4. If a pit stop is planned, how long?

  • Iggy Dalrymple

    Dr Rossi,
    Do you still recommend using a battery to buffer the output of the ECat for powering household appliances, motors, and electronic devices such as TV?

    Welcome back !
    Thank you for your suggestion, but we will not mess up the things. We will make separated demos to focus perfectly in each of them.
    Besides, the Ecat system for the EV is different from the normal Ecat, because there is a complex interface system.

    Yury Ekdokimov:
    Thank you for your support.
    Answers:
    1. the race will last 6 hours: after a couple of hours the car without the Ecat will stop because the battery SOC will be exhaused, the Ecat will continue to race and when the race time will be completed the battery of it will have SOC 100%; a neutral referee expert of the EV will check the SOC of both the cars at the start and at the end
    2. see 1
    3. yes

  • Dear Andrea I am sure that the size you have chosen of 3kW of your generator is the most appropriate for mass production. The application possibilities are endless, as an off the grid recharger or battery replacement, from small vehicles on land, water and air (mopeds, outboards and electric drones) to more or less humanoid robots (Optimus and Figure 02 have on board 3 kW approximately) not to mention all the portable power tools. In homes, one or more 3 kW modules coupled with 220 V AC inverters cover the needs of any family. I am writing these obvious things to you only to confirm that associating the next demonstration of the electric machine with your own 3 kW unit, with a 220 V AC inverter, which powers some household devices (electric stoves, induction plates that boil water, electric drills, panels bright with many lamps and so on) is an excellent idea. I think the public and journalists will be very interested in these applications in the “long” wait for the completion of the durability comparison between the two electric cars, one with and one without your charger. And it’s also a safety alternative in the unfortunate event that something goes wrong with cars, even if it’s not related to your generator.
