    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    1. What is the status of the electrical heater demonstration?
    2. What is going on with the solar panel supplementation demonstration?
    3. It would be very convincing if you could find a place with a solar inverter, either hybrid or off-grid, and feeds NGU power into the input that is normally connected to solar panels. You would need an input voltage above 100V, I suggest 120VDC (e.g., 10 each 100W NGU unit in series). The external display would show how much power is being generated.

    Dr. Rossi,
    I’d strongly expect, after your compelling demonstration of a “hyper-range” EV, that multiple EV producers are now approaching Leonardo with serious interest in the Ecat. Please, if you can say– is the level of awareness and interest on the part of EV producers beginning to ramp up?

    Best Wishes,

  • David - UK

    A simple question, can a 3000w heater be run on one 100w E-Cat?. Or what is required?. UK electrical supply is AC or DC?

    Steven Nicholes Karels:
    1. It is property of the ERV Maico Marzocchi, who got it back home; he promised me that he will conserve it for a future museum
    2. No: the Ecat NGU is not certified for use in EVs, therefore can be connected to an EV only inside private areas, like, for example, a racetrack
    3. Yes: as you probably noticed, it has a regular registered plate and the owner uses frequently it

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    1. What happened to the modified EV?
    2. Is it still equipped with the NGU?
    3. Is it allowed to drive on public streets?

    Hi Andrea, the safe in which you locked the ecats necessary to power the electric vehicle in order to prevent fires in the interation with batteries brought this question to mind: Even with this thick shielding casing the ecats manage to produce energy, so they don’t take electromagnetic energy from the surrounding environment, but they really produce it from the vacuum! It’s more proof.
    kind regards

    Dr. Rossi, after this exciting demonstration, I can’t wait for the real commercialization to begin.

    The widespread adoption of the E-Cat technology could have profound and revolutionary effects on human civilization. Here are some potential impacts:

    Energy revolution: The E-Cat, being an apparently unlimited and non-polluting energy source, could gradually replace conventional energy sources like fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and renewables. This would lead to a drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to the fight against climate change.

    Universal access to energy: If the technology became widely available, it could dramatically lower energy costs, making electricity affordable and sustainable even in poorer or more remote regions. This would improve living conditions and promote global economic development.

    Decentralization of energy production: Since the E-Cat is an autonomous energy generator, it would encourage the decentralization of energy production. Homes, businesses, and vehicles could become energy self-sufficient, reducing dependency on large power grids and centralized infrastructures.

    Technological and industrial innovation: The availability of low-cost energy would stimulate new innovations in sectors like transportation, industrial production, and computing. For example, electric vehicles would become much more efficient, as demonstrated in the experiment, and could be adopted on a large scale without the current limitations of battery range.

    Disruption of geopolitical balances: Reduced dependence on fossil fuels could destabilize oil- and gas-producing countries, as demand for their resources would decline. Conversely, technologically advanced countries could strengthen their economic position by dominating the clean energy market.

    Social and economic changes: The democratization of energy could reduce economic inequalities between nations and within them, facilitating access to advanced resources and technologies. However, it could also lead to job losses in traditional sectors related to energy extraction and distribution.

    In summary, the widespread adoption of E-Cat technology could transform human society in economic, social, and environmental terms, promoting greater sustainability, equity, and innovation.

    Kind Regards, Italo R.

    Dr Rossi,
    have you ever thought to donate your fantastic and unbelievable technology to humanity ?

  • Andrea Rossi

    Dott. AT:
    I confirm that we are closing contracts in that way, which is what I said in the press conference; the Clients were there, they attended the demo with their experts.
    Warm Regards,

  • Dear Dr. Rossi, first of all, my compliments for having demonstrated once again, the greatest discovery of humanity in the energy field, and not only.

    However, I would like to underline the importance of a news released in the press conference that I think was not emphasized enough.

    Can you confirm the announced start of the industrial production process of the ecat devices which will inevitably be followed by the shipment of the products to those, like me and many others, who are waiting and certainly with a certain trepidation, to receive the reservations made more than 10 years ago?

    I have already expressed my opinion on this blog regarding the fact that only a mass diffusion will put an end to any controversy and will trigger an exponential sale of the product.

    All my warmth and support!

    Best regards.

    Good morning Dr. Rossi,
    were you contacted by Renault after the test of “their” Twixy?
    The Stellantis group has two cars in its price list: Fiat Topolino and Citroen Ami, with the same characteristics as the Twizy, they would be perfect for the 3 KW Ecat.
    Good work and to the whole Team

  • Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Regarding the EV demonstration

    The non-equipped EV used 5.98 kW-hrs of energy to travel 73.54 kilometers = 0.0813 kW-hrs/kilometer.

    The equipped EV traveled 200.62 kilometers. Ignoring the additional mass the equipped EV was carrying, the equipped EV would have consumed 0.0813 kW-hrs/km * 200.62 km = 16.32 kW-hrs.

    In addition, the equipped EV gained 1.24 kW-hrs of energy. So, the NGU unit provided 17.56 kW-hrs of energy during the 6 hours running time. The NGU unit was at least producing 2.92 kW of power.

    The excess weight of the equipped EV was 97.8 kilograms. Allegedly, the steel safe is about 80 kilograms. This leaves 17.8 kilograms for the NGU and the interface electronics.

    A 100W NGU was specified to have a mass of 250 grams. So, a 3 kW unit should have a mass of about 7.5 kilograms. That leaves about 10 kilograms for the interface electronics and cabling.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    First of all, congratulations on yet another convincing demonstration.

    Equally important is the information you shared about the accident involving the E-Cat and the batteries last year. From engineer Maico Marzocchi, we learn through E-Cat World that the “voltage” coming from the E-Cat assembly is not pure direct current. You yourself have previously posted a photo of an oscilloscope showing variable pulses.

    I assume these pulses are like the beating heart of the technology and that they shouldn’t be dampened by circuits and electronic components. This could potentially cause damage to batteries, which seems like a significant issue that needs to be resolved. I even wonder if the E-Cat SK Lep NGU would ever be suitable for regular users to connect devices or charge batteries with.

    For this reason, I’m curious whether you have ever tried running a DC motor with carbon brushes using the E-Cat? I probably don’t need to explain the operation of the various types of conventional DC motors here. These motors easily tolerate voltage spikes. A few decades ago, a similar system was used to convert three-phase alternating current into direct current: the so-called Ward-Leonard groups. They have since fallen out of use in favor of modern static converters. However, those old techniques had a significant advantage because of their inertia, as they could use part of their kinetic energy as a buffer during sudden changes in power consumption.

    I believe the reverse could be possible with the E-Cat as well, to smooth out the output peaks via a mechanical intermediate, perhaps with an additional flywheel. On the output side, an AC generator, DC generator, or even a machine could be powered. With the direct current coming from the second stage DC generator, it would always be safe to charge batteries. The power and voltage can be easily regulated as well. You previously wrote that the E-Cat takes about one second to modulate from minimum to maximum power. One second of transition can easily be compensated with a mechanical flywheel.

    Sometimes, we need to rediscover old techniques to solve problems with new technologies.

    Finally, I wanted to mention something about the comparison you made with the waterfall and the droplets during the press conference. I think it might be time to explain the principles you use to create the electron clusters, unless, of course, it would be unsafe to make such information public. I suspect that not all opponents and deniers fully understand what they are up against.

    Dear Dr Rossi
    Would it be possible to know the watts of the Ecat (no of 100watt modules) used for the car. If approx. 17kw of energy was used by the vehicle and topping up the battery and it drove for about 6 1/2 hours I would guess that there was approx. an 3kw ecat module in the car giving the Twizy battery a nice constant charge. This would give me a reason why the box is the size it is with some protection around the Ecat unit to help with vibration from the car and the road.
    Thank you

    Dr. Rossi,

    I’m sure you’ve thought about this already, but it seems to me that a viable next step for “Ecat usage in EVs” would be for Leonardo to standardize on 1 or 2 interfaces that all EV manufacturers could conform to (if they wanted the “Ecat Inside” option). That way Leonardo can produce thousands/millions of standardized units and individual EV makers can tweak their internal software and electronics to support that option.

    Assuming that made sense, the Level-1 and Level-2 EV charging specs would seem to be a natural standard to choose. Level-1 is 120v, single phase AC at 1.3-2.4kW. Level-2 is 240v, single phase AC at 3.0-19.2kW.

    One other nice thing about standardizing on the Level-1 or Level-2 specs is that such a device would also work within the homeowner’s garage to act as an overnight charger for existing and unmodified EVs. Considering that it can cost homeowners thousands to provide Level-2 capability within their garage (electric service upgrades) that money might be better spent towards buying an, independently powered, Ecat-based charger.

    *AND*, one final point– Once an, independently powered, Ecat-based charger existed, in place, within the garage, it wouldn’t be difficult to consider taking the next step, which would be to use the Ecat charger’s excess power to help power the entire home.

    Food for thought.

    Best Wishes,
    WaltC

    Caro Dr. Rossi, molto tempo è trascorso dal mio ultimo post poichè, in attesa di notizie concrete sui progressi della sua ricerca mi sembrava inopportuno distogliere la sua attenzione con domande magari superflue, ma Le sono sempre rimasto idealmente accanto tifando ostinatamente per il successo di quella che ritengo quasi una missione e attendendo oramai da molti anni quell’esito che si è finalmente materializzato con il test del 27 settembre. Le faccio le mie più sincere congratulazioni per i risultati ottenuti e per la tenacia dimostrata dinanzi alle avversità che ha dovuto affrontare, anche quelle non rese pubbliche.
    Ora, e credo di interpretare il pensiero di tutti i frequentatori del blog, Le auguro vivamente di potersi avvalere di persone fidate che sappiano indicarLe il percorso più razionale ed efficace per l’obiettivo della commercializzazione del prodotto.
    Come Le dicevo tempo fa, a mio avviso la strada giusta che possa bloccare qualsiasi ostacolo, è l’ingresso veloce sul mercato: la testimonianza dei primi destinatari delle consegne sarà determinante ( il mio primo dei numerosi preordini risale al lontano 2018 )
    La pubblicità da parte mia è assicurata.
    Ancora congratulazioni e cordiali saluti a Lei ed a tutti i suoi collaboratori.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Thank for the additional information on the EV test.

    Questions on the steel safe:
    1. was the Twizy car battery inside the steel safe?
    2. was the eCat NGU unit(s) within the steel safe?
    3. was an additional battery within the steel safe?
    4. were any additional electronic, e.g., interface between the eCat and the car battery, also in the steel safe?

  • Franz D.

    Dear Dr. Rossi,
    is it dangerous to charge an electric car with the ecat via the usual charging socket? or do you also need a safe in case of an explosion?
    If I were to buy an electric car, I would only need to charge it when stationary. So it would be better to have an additional charging socket in the car boot.

    Have you already made an appointment to test the electric heater? It would be the more important test for me..
    Warm regards
    Franz D.

    Dear Dr Rossi,

    Many congratulations on the success of your demonstration of the Ecat powered car at Latina. Well Done!!

    I hope that the industry representatives who were present are now convinced to support the inclusion of your excellent power source in their products.

    Regarding the problems using the Ecat with LiIon batteries. This is a general problem with the batteries themselves, not so much the Ecat.

    Sadly, as you will well know, there has been much media coverage of the LiIon batteries in electric cars, buses and small electric scooters bursting into flames and causing great damage to the vehicles themselves and to the surrounding environment.

    I would expect that as LFP and solid state batteries become the new standard that they will work safely with any Ecat charging system.

    My wife was very impressed with your demonstration and she also sends her best regards.

    Congratulatory Regards,
    Martyn Aubrey

    Dear Readers,
    I have been informed that someone has hypothesized that the steel safe could be a big battery.
    Here are the numbers :
    The safe weighs about 80 kg
    The battery of the Renault Twizy weighs 105 kg
    The battery of the Twizy without the cat started with the 90% of the charge
    The battery of the Twizy with the Ecat started with 62% of the charge
    The battery of the Twizy without the Ecat lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes
    The battery of the Twizy with the Ecat not only completed the determined time of 6 hours, but ended the race with a charge of 82%, 30% more than when it started, while, assuming that the steel safe was a battery, it could run for less than 2 hours, less than the Twizy without the Ecat ( that weighs much more than the steel safe ), and the battery of the Twizy with the Ecat could not certainly end the race with a charge much higher than at the start.
