    Dear Dr. Rossi
    Please confirm my calculations that the 10W NGU has a power per unit volume density of about 0.118 W/cm^3, but the KW units have a power density almost 4 times higher at 0.444 W/cm^3.
    Regards

    Yes of course.
    However at some amount of current drawn, the voltage will start to drop.
    As it starts to drop, the amount of power delivered to the load starts to reduce.
    Please reference what a solar panel IV curve looks like and how every solar panel has a Max Power Point.
    https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/619252/determine-voltage-and-current-for-given-i-v-curve
    All electrical power generators have IV curves and have a Max Power Point at which max power is delivered to the load.
    Without a MPP tracking circuit, it will be hit or miss to match the load to the NGU and obtain max power transfer.

    I have NGUs on order and when my 1st unit arrives I will measure and publish the NGU IV curve and a circuit for a NGU MPP tracker.

    Phil Wilson:
    The Voltage is fixed and depends on the setup of the Ecat; A and W are funcion of the load’s draw.

    Hi Dr Rossi,

    Is there an IV curve for the basic NGU generator as is available for solar cells?
    Showing the relationship between voltage supplied to the load vs current drawn by the load and where the MPP (Max Power Point) is?

    I have an interest to design a circuit, which I will openly share, that will operate the NGU generator at it’s MPP, for max power output, such as solar MPP units do for solar panels.

    Thanks

  • Dear Dr Rossi
    Just another quick question about the Ecat generators, can they be installed in any orientation e.g have the unit laying down or upside down

  • Gianluca

    Nel settembre 2015 pubblicavi su questo sito JONP il brevetto appena ricevuto. Sono passati diversi anni da allora e molte cose sono cambiate (anche il vs stesso progetto). Molte persone che ti/vi seguivano purtroppo non ci sono più. Molti passi avanti sono stati fatti e pare ora ci sia molto ottimismo intorno a te e il tuo team che è stato guadagnato, nel tempo, a suon di insuccessi, prove e prese in giro. Siete stati eccezionali per costanza, perseveranza e per capacità di riconversione e adattamento. E ora di raccogliere ciò che si è seminato. Avrete certamente un raccolto eccezionale.

    Dear Dr. Rossi,
    you wrote that you won’t make any more tests before the official introduction.
    Please consider to let make some tests with the 3 KW ecat by Frank Acland.
    There would be no problem to get 2 million pre-orders.
    Warm regards

  • Calle H

    Dear Dr. Rossi,
    I may have missed some information but I find the dimensions of the 12V 10W NGU given in the Data Sheet tab and the dimensions of the 1 – 10 kW generator is provided in the Pre-Order E-Cat Products tab of the ecatthenewfire home page. What are the dimensions of the 12V 100W (former SKLep now replaced by NGU) that was the standard order in 2021- 2022?
    Kind regards,
    Calle H

  • lmwillys

    taking up Calle H’s post I will definitely buy one E-Cat NGU 3 KW generator with 30 100 W E-Cat NGU cells preassembled in series and not in parallel so one 360V generator

  • Dear Dr Rossi
    With the new Ecat generator that you are packaging can we specify the voltage out requirements e.g. if I require 240Vdc or 48Vdc outputs can that be prewired or will it be just 12Vdc.

    Thank you

  • Andrea Rossi

    Calle H:
    1. depends on the inverter

    Dr. Rossi,

    buying a 5kW generator for shipment to Italy at a cost of US$ 12,500, what other expenses should we add? Example: VAT, transport, import tax, etc.?

    Kind Regards,
    Italo R.

  • Steven Nicholes Karels

    Italo R.

    The proposed inverter seems like a good candidate to couple with NGU technology.

    I would assume you would couple this inverter with one or two 3kW NGU units. To keep the power at less than 80% of the inverter’s rated maximum – to extend operating lifetime.

    Inputs are 12VDC, 24VDC, 48VDC, and 60VDC. I assume the 3kW NGU would output 24VDC. Two could be serially connected to produce 48VDC @ 125Amps for 6,000W.

    Alternatively, if the 3kW NGU unit outputs 60VDC and they were wired in parallel, the combined current would be 100Amps.

    So, wiring is an issue but manageable.

    Low-cost units sometimes fail quickly. But I have no knowledge of this unit’s reliability. Steve

    Dear Dr. Rossi,
    It is with great joy it is now possible to order Pre-built Generators. There are for sure many of us who would like to connect the generator to a vacant DC port of a solar panel inverter that is already installed in our house. With this follows three questions:
    1. What is the output voltage of the generator? The question is because most 3-phase PV inverters have a start-up voltage of >160V. Below that voltage the inverter will not trigger for production.
    2. I would guess a constant current power module in between the generator and inverter is needed else the inverter will surge for more current until the generator can no longer supply current. The generator will then shut down. Correct?
    3. As to my knowledge constant current modules are available from Amazon as DIY circuit boards (not certified for PV inverter installations) and limited to <100V. If correct have you and your team worked out a solution to the interface between the generator and inverter?
    Thank you if you can answer.
    Kind regards,
    Calle H

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    On the NGU Supplementation concept for PhotoVoltaic (PV) solar panels, is it correct to state:

    1. The NGU unit(s) will be associated with each PV solar panel?
    2. The total output of the combination of the NGU unit(s) with the PV solar panel will be limited to the maximum output of the PV solar panel?
    3. During low illumination conditions (e.g., nighttime, snow, clouds) the NGU units may provide most of the power from the PV solar panel/NGU combination?
    4. Since the NGU unit(s) potentially can output power continuously, the present battery connected to the inverter will see less demand during times of diminished solar illumination and therefore provide power for a longer period of time?

  • Italo R.

    Dr. Rossi,
    About DC/AC inverters to connect to the output of your generators, I did a search online. This model seems interesting, its power is 8kW and it has a low cost:

    https://www.amazon.it/Inverter-inverter-sinusoidale-attacco-pannello/dp/B0D8J5BRF9?th=1

    It would be interesting to know the opinion of other users.
    Kinf Regards,
    Italo R.

  • Italo R.

    Dr. Rossi, on your pre-order page

    https://ecatthenewfire.com/pre-order-e-cat-products/

    it says, for example, that a 5kW generator costs $12,000.

    But when I go to the individual page of that generator,

    https://ecatorders.com/e-cat-ngu-5-kw-generator-pre-order-form/

    the price is $12,500

    The same difference exists for other powers.

    Kind Regards,
    Italo R.

    Dear Dr. Rossi,
    The most typical photovoltaic system in our country is 20-22 PV panels connected by two strings into two DC inputs in an inverter + 10 kWh battery.

    1) Can you please assure here 90,000 owners of such photovoltaic systems that the E-Cat can be connected to the photovoltaic system even if both DC inputs (in the inverter) are already occupied by two strings from PV panels?

    2) If the E-Cat cannot be connected in the previous example (all DC inputs are occupied by strings from PV panels), may the E-Cat be connected if the inverter has one free DC input?

    3) Will any other costly and special hardware be needed to connect the E-Cat to the inverter of the typical PV system (as were special hardware of Mr. Marzocchi)?

    Very Thanks

    With Best Regards

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Yet another NGU Application – electric drive mining trucks

    These large trucks require drive capacities around 2,000 to 3,000 HP. They run 24/7. This would be an ideal application for NGU technology to charge the vehicle’s battery system. An onboard charging system would allow continuous operation. Remote mining operations typically do not have transmission lines near them. So, an onboard electric power generation capability would be useful. Electric trucks have less maintenance issues than ICE trucks and are more environmentally friendly. A big plus in the mining industry.

    Thoughts?

    Dr Rossi,
    one of the biggest treasure of the paper
    http://www.researchgate.net/publication/330601653_E-Cat_SK_and_long_range_particle_interactions
    is the list of references: it is a choice of integrated information that combined with the paragraphs 2,3,4,5 of the pater itself make possible to replicate your experiments.
    I think this is the reason of the enormous number of total readings and recommendations collected by this publication on Researchgate.
    Best,
    Vincent

    Dear Andrea Rossi

    Your recent reply to Romanto Mirco and your reply to my follow up questions along with your intelligent response to my thoughts about theoretical posts from Axil and others, has made me thinking a bit.

    Clearly your focus at the moment is getting the ecat NGU into people’s hands and that’s really good news.

    But it occurs to me that the device itself could perhaps also be used for science as a kind of controlled experimental instrument or sensor or otherwise to test and study these potential other phenomena and compare with theory or help generate new ones.

    Do you already have universities and scientist studying it in that way?

    Or do you plan to set something like this up after release?

    Of course I suppose any university could by one and test its effects externally as they will anyway.

    For me this aspect is almost as intriguing as the device itself.

    Best Regards

    Stephen

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    Yet another eCat NGU application – Tesla Cybercab charging.

    “The future Tesla Cybercab specs will include the following, according to Tesla:

    two-passenger car
    autonomous operation only; no steering wheel or pedals accessible to passengers
    range: 200 mi (320 km)
    battery capacity: ~35 kWh
    expected efficiency 5.5 mi/kWh (8.9 km/kWh)[15]” Source: Wikipedia

    Assuming Tesla would actually consider this —

    On each Cybercab, divide the battery system conceptually into two storage units (18 kW-hrs each).

    The typical average speed in an urban environment is 30 mph (or less).

    The average power requirement is therefore 30 mph / 5.5 miles per kW-hr = 5.45 kW.

    Two 3kW NGU units (and suitable interface) would charge one of the storage units while the other powers the Cybercab.

    There is no “dangerous” charging the battery system while is it powering the vehicle.

    There Cybercab could run 24/7 except for routing things like clean-up of the passenger area and exterior washing.

    Thoughts?

    When traveling with lithium batteries, you cannot check bags on an airline that contain them. You must bring them onto the flight in you carry on baggage. This covers devices with batteries in them.

    For the E-cat NGU, I am not sure how to describe them. They obviously can provide electrical energy. You have said that the circuitry controlling the device is unique and quite innovative. I would imagine that at some point the newly assembled device did not produce energy and was in some way “activated” to begin producing energy.

    My questions are:

    1). Will the device be shipped “activated” in a manner that exhibits a voltage at the terminals.

    2). Can the device be “deactivated” for safe conveyance, say on an airplane.

    3). If the device remains “activated”, will it produce electromagnetic energy that might interfere with electronics aboard the aircraft?

    I look forward to receiving the E-Cat NGU devices soon! Congratulations on your progress!

    Dear Andrea Rossi 

    1) When idle or in storage with no load the ecat will

    a) output 12V?

    b) output 0V?

    2) Where the output is 0V 

    a) the user has switched OFF the ecat?

    b) a no load time out has switched OFF the ecat?

    c) for both a valid load and no load the output is always 12V?

    3) When the 10W ecat delivers only 500mW 

    a) this will extend the life of the reactor?

    b) the reactor will age the same as for 10W?

    Thank you
