    What happens if the apparatus is put in parallel with a photovoltaic system that is producing 2500 W?
    1) There will be an increase of another 2500 W
    2) There will be an increase but it is unpredictable
    3) There will be a multiplicative increase

    Dear andrea

    I could not find you on X platform of Elon Musk
    Is there a reason you are not on there?

    The fastest way to move forward is to have it integrated in robotics, ev Cars
    Did you try to contaxct tesla(or did tesla contact you)?

    if not why not? it seems 1 million units it’s a no brainer when tesla gets involved so why not working togehter for the benefit of humanity?

    kind regards Arjen

  • Rik

    Thank you for your work.This might be the biggest invention i have ever witnessed.
    Do you have any plans to let it be tested by third parties in the near feature?
    I also have read that in 2023 there was a small explosion. Could you explain a bit how this happened and how you prevent it now?
    How could this work in a household? We connect the Ecats in parallel to a Battery, we connect the battery to an inverter and have AC power throughout the whole household?
    Can I find any pictures of the modal that could be used in the near future, digital or real?

    Thank you so much for your work. I am looking forward to hear more from you and make it one of my missions to spread the word!

  • Calle H

    Dear Dr. Rossi,
    From the NGU Technical Data sheet I read that the voltage output of the 100W unit is maximum 12 Volt. Can you deliver the 100W units with the 10W cells connected in series for maximum 120 Volt?
    Kind regards,
    Calle H

  • Steven Nicholes Karels

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    I have existing orders for many eCat 100W units. If I asked them to be delivered as 9 each 100W, @ 13 VDC and serially connected to output 117 VDC,

    1. Could that be done?
    2. Would there be any additional charge of the 9 * $249USD cost?

    Dear Maico:
    Thank you for your moving and sincere testimonies.

    Dear Dr. Rossi

    This last year and a half dedicated to the preparation and execution of the E-Cat EV Demo has certainly been a very demanding period for both of us.
    It is undeniable that the demonstration of September 27, 2024 has had and is having a great success. I must say that letting to that September 27, starting from 0 (at least for the Twizy) was not “a linear evolution”.
    Starting from hypotheses, we tried to transform ideas into practice, not always successfully but certainly getting a little closer to the Goal.
    There have also been very difficult and dramatic moments (the critical event that led to the cancellation of the October 2023 demonstration), but it is precisely in moments like these that the “Phoenix” can rise from its own ashes. Never was a comparison more appropriate :)).
    That “critical and difficult moment” gave birth to the most “resilient” version of E-Cat ever, namely the NGU version (even in this case, a NAME was never more appropriate).

    When at the beginning of September 2024 we met for the Static Integration tests (in my box on Friday and on the roller bench on Saturday), I was very sure that the mutual work done up to that moment on “our own creatures” would have created a “successful symbiosis”!!! ….and so it was 😉

    I remember as if it were today the wonderful feeling I felt when I saw what we had achieved, it had taken a year and a half but it was ALL TRUE!!!

    I don’t think I’m reporting anything hard to believe, or even confidential, saying that at the end of those 2 days, exciting and exhilarating, you too were particularly happy and enthusiastic about what your E-Cat together with my Twizy were able to do 😉

    I took the liberty of attaching to this message some testimonies of that day. Up until now, videos of the Saturday tests had never been published (only photographs), I’m sure that those who follow you will be happy to be able to live “with Us” that day that I would define as Historic.

    That “Friday and Saturday” were 2 “Private” days, but on September 27th, the day of the “public” demonstration we shared with the world what your E-Cat is able to do and that is, Wonderful Things!!!

    Below is what was anticipated

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-I7_9YMXn8kwQiPuS0ewJMve-pZqAsCp&usp=drive_fs

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-DfdK1Pt6v86PGtxEhUmLy4w6bNc4_bl&usp=drive_fs

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-WfbrNqNnOi9-N-HTpnhOcTmV_5jamrm&usp=drive_fs

    and below is the moment when “completely satisfied and happy” with what we had achieved, we “sealed” the culmination of our collaboration in the E-Cat project EV

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-Ql5dz7EFaKrJmTxguCMLLX_cpENX2T0&usp=drive_fs

    we still had to do the Demonstration of September 27th, the tension and nervousness were still a lot, but we knew that “technically” we had already “tried everything”, we just had to repeat on a racetrack what we had tried on a roller bench 😉

    I hope with this testimony I have managed to transfer to those who follow it what We have lived and felt in the last 78 weeks
    They have been weeks of hard work, so much dedication, so much anxiety, but the satisfaction, the joy, the exaltation that we felt at the end of that September 27th is something that at least I but I think also You “will carry with me/we will carry” always in our Heart 😉

    Regards

    Ciao Maico

    WaltC:
    1- It is an inherent aspect of the Ecat technology
    2- depends on the situations, but the Ecat gives a set voltage, does not trim it. Therefore can be connected to the Ecat only a load that
    works at the same Voltage

    A.R.

    Dan Galburt:
    Welcome back !
    Thank you for your support.
    Answers:
    1. depends on the load
    2. no, the voltage is fixed, the Ampères depend on the power
    3. no
    3.2: if the power of the load is superior of the power of the Ecat, the Ecat automatically shuts down
    Warm Regards,
    A.R.

  • WaltC

    Dr. Rossi,
    I understand that the circuit breaker aspect (trip-off on overload) of the Ecat is a firm & settled decision– questions:

    1) Is that behavior an inherent aspect of the Ecat technology, or something deliberately imposed by the hardware/firmware/AI?

    2) If some segment of the market required something with a more continuous behavior (e.g., a voltage that sags on overload, like with batteries & solar cells), would that be possible with minor changes to the hardware/firmware/AI, or would it be something much more major?

    Thanks and Best Wishes,
    WaltC

  • Dan Galburt

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    I have been following the development of your E-Cat for many years, and I am happy to congratulate you on a successful demonstration. I hope it helps you get the million preorders so that you can manufacture E-Cats and I can get one.

    E-Cat-SKL-NGU-10W spec sheet says that the NGU Cell is switched ON when connected to an allowed RLOAD.

    I have a few questions about the range of allowed load resistance.

    1. My understanding is that the lowest allowed load resistance is 0.1 ohms. Is this correct?

    2. Load resistances of between 0.1 and 14.4 ohms are allowed and the voltage is automatically set to keep the power output at 10W. Is this correct?

    3. For load resistances above 14.4 ohms there are two possibilities

    3.1 The E-Cat SKL-NGU-10W is switched off. Is this correct?

    3.2 The E-Cat SKL-NGU-10W is allowed to operate at reduced power, POWER = 144/RLOAD, unless RLOAD is greater than RLOADmax, then the E-Cat SKL-NGU-10W is switched OFF. I have no idea what RLOADmax is? Is this correct?

    Best Regards,
    Dan Galburt

    Dear Readers:
    PLEASE ATTENTION
    I have been informed minutes ago that there is somebody that fraudolently says him to be a representative of us: please do not pay anybody that offers you the Ecat, we are not yet selling the Ecat and we do not collect any money, because we want to be paid ONLY WHEN WE DELIVER THE PRODUCT !
    For this reason, please inform us if somebody tells you to be a representative or a licensee of us, and we will immediately answer you the real situation.
    I have received the information from a Reader of the JoNP, and this is the reason of this warning.

    In the past, you have stated that your team used “AI” to control the reaction underlying the E-cat NGU. I think that that the “AI” approach you have used is worthy of its own patents.

    1) Can you talk a bit about how it was developed?

    “AI” in the currently popular sense uses massive data sets to “program” the “AI”.

    2) Since E-cat NGU is new, where did the data come from to program it?

    3) Have you developed a detailed simulation of the process that can be used to program it?

  • Juan Carlos

    Dear Dr. Rossi,

    Many many congratulations on the overwhelmingly successful demo.

    I was somewhat surprised and more than a little bit disappointed,
    to see how the story was not picked up by main-stream media.
    I sent off the links to major newspapers and news portals in
    five countries and received not one single reply.

    Maybe it will just take more time and I am simply too impatient?

    Hopeful and optimistic greetings,
    Juan Carlos

    Gentilissimo Andrea Rossi, alla domanda di Patrick su quanti e-cat da 10w c’erano dentro l’auto del test hai risposto 10pz, quindi l’auto è stata pilotata con 300W in totale o c’è un errore? Mi sembrano troppo pochi… con quei watt si polota una bicicletta di solito.

  • We have several Hospitality projects in Puerto Rico and will be OFF GRID for Power and Water, a 1 mW is perfect for the larger project in Loiza and 500kw for the Miramar Project. of course, we would like to be your distributor here in Puerto Rico and also connect you to our CPA / attorney so you can get ACT 60 tax treatment for manufacturing here call me at your convenience …..

    Dr Rossi,
    do you confirm that you are preparing another presentation, this time with a heater powered by the Ecat NGU ?

    There is a complication here called the vacuum catastrophe when trying to make sence of the vacuum energy power density.
    
    According to current understanding, the “correct” value for vacuum energy, relative to the vacuum catastrophe, is significantly smaller than the theoretical value predicted by quantum field theory, with a discrepancy of around 120 orders of magnitude, meaning the observed vacuum energy is vastly lower than what calculations suggest it should be; this huge disparity is what constitutes the “vacuum catastrophe.”. This larger predicted value is predicted based on quantum electrodynamics, consistency with the principle of Lorentz covariance and with the magnitude of the Planck constant suggests a much larger value of 10^113 joules per cubic meter.
    
    Key points about the vacuum catastrophe:
    Theoretical value:
    
    Quantum field theory predicts a much larger vacuum energy density (which is an incorrect assumption) due to zero-point fluctuations, often calculated using the Planck energy scale.
    
    Observed value:
    Measurements based on cosmological observations show a significantly lower vacuum energy density.
    
    Magnitude of the discrepancy:
    This difference is considered one of the biggest unsolved problems in physics, with the theoretical value being many orders of magnitude higher than the measured value.
    
    From looking at the way that the power is produced during the EVO life cycle, it looks like that power comes from the electromagnetic field which is how science has come up with the large 10^113 joules per cubic meter value for the power density of the vacuum.
    
    Sabine states that the vacuum energy is not produced by virtual particles, rather it is an inherent property of spacetime as described by general relativity and the expansion rate of the universe.
    
    Here is Sabine’s take on the vacuum as follows:

    Dear Axil Axil and others

    We often talk about a theoretical problem of the E-Cat used to charge the batteries, and at that point we also go into details about the chemistry of the batteries themselves.

    I would like to reassure you on this aspect,

    Each battery depending on the technology with which it is built has its pros and cons and above all it must be managed appropriately.

    It is no coincidence that Dr. Rossi referred to BMS.

    Any DC generator cannot be connected directly to the battery, of any type it is, for obvious reasons.

    The electronics that I developed for the demonstration of the E-Cat EV is undoubtedly complex but it is able to manage any type of battery (it decouples the E-Cat from the battery itself) 😉
    That button, present in the electronics, that you see in the photos, if pressed is able to disable all the inputs and controls necessary for the management and control of the Twizy and its battery (Canbus), making it the perfect tool to control and recharge any type of battery.
    The control instrumentation that you saw on the dashboard of the Twizy on the right side, at that point allows you to manage the Voltage and Current of charging any type of battery (using the appropriate charging modes specific to the chemistry of the battery itself) making my electronics a very powerful and flexible “general purpose” tool to control any battery and obviously inverters and much more 😉 (IC-CPD etc … All tests already done 😉 and here I stop …. ).

    regards

    ciao Maico

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    On the NGU 100W unit, what is the maximum DC voltage that the unit can provide as set by the Factory?

  • Ambrogio Carugati

    Dr Rossi, after studying many times the paper
    http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
    from the first to the last line, I and my fellows of laboratory succeeded to obtain energy gains !
    Thank you for the paper, and congratulations for the historic event of September 27 with the Ecat powered Renault Twizy.
    Your work is inspiring,
    Carissimi Saluti

    Dear Dr Andrea Rossi,
    The videos of the Latina event are getting viral, because what you and your team did is of paramount importance.
    Thank you all for your work,
    Susan

  • Francesco

    I watched the whole six hours video of the race in the racetrack of Latina between the Renault fuelled by the Ecat and her twin without the Ecat with its normal battery, and I got WOW !
    Congratulations, great job of you and your team. I am following you 10 years since and it is impressing your resilience.
    Best regards,
    Francesco

  • Rupert

    Dear Andrea,
    Among other things, what I deem excellent is the impressive professionality of the cameramen : we can see the Twizy with the Ecat second by second without losing even one meter of its race; this fact, and all the data you reported, make the event a strong evidence of the excellency of the technological level that has been reached.
    Just one question: how many cameramen wer employed around the racetrack ?
    God bless you and your team,
    Rupert

  • Andrea Rossi

    Steve D:
    Thank you for your kind support.
    Answers:
    1, 1a, 1b: The voltage can only be changed with a step up or a step down if in DC, or with an inverter if it has to be turned into AC. In any case the voltage, once set up, cannot be trimmed.
    2- see 1
    3- the power will be the power requested by the load, so long the load’s demanded power does not exceed the power of the Ecat
    4- once the Voltage is set, the power depends on the Amperage drawn by the load: W = A x V, therefore A = W/V
    Warm regards,
    A.R.

  • Steve D

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Thank you for publishing the updated ecat specifications not to overlook your impressive demonstration. The output voltage range is from 1V to 12V. 

    1) Considering the 10W ecat for example how does the user set the output to 5 volts?

    1a) There is a user accessible control to directly set the desired voltage?

    1b) The user selects a load resistance of 2.5 ohms derived from R = V^2/P, and the ecat automatically adjusts to output 5V, so the voltage is indirectly set?

    2) If the voltage measures less than 12V (to 1V) this always indicates the ecat is delivering 10W output power?

    3) Is it possible to deliver less than maximum 10W power at 5V?

    4) At 12V maximum power can be delivered and at only 12V can less than maximum 10W power be delivered?

    Thank you

    I placed orders very soon after you were “open for business” of taking orders, and I would like to be sure about what I can change these orders to now that you are closer to production.

    Please confirm:

    1) I can order NGU Power Cell SKL-NGU-10W units with 120V AC North America output connector/power for $25 each.
    2) I can order NGU Generator SKL-NGU-100W units with 120V AC North America output connector/power for $250 each.

    Dear Dr. Rossi,
    I apologize for my post 30 min ago. I conclude the data sheet has all the information I need. Sorry for my post.

  • Stefano

    Dear Andrea,
    In order to make universal and easy to connect to EV vehicles, ecat should have an inverter and the generated AC power should go in the plug, as a regular power supply from the house socket.
    Everyone will buy, placing the ecat get in the trunk and at anytime the car will be chargeable (with engine off, off course).
    No need of complex systems and compatibilities.
    Cari saluti e in bocca al lupo.
    Stefano
