    Dr. Rossi
    World governments are making important decisions about the future of energy; geopolitics is shifting monstrous amounts of capital.
    Stellantis alone has lost $14 billion in the United States, invested in electric mobility, due to the Trump administration’s oil planning.
    Private individuals are also planning to install photovoltaic systems or other renewable energy sources, following the oil price increase following the war in Iran.
    None of them are aware of ECAT.
    I believe it’s very important to introduce them to this new energy source; an official presentation of a functioning ECAT is sufficient, regardless of its power or type of use.
    The production and distribution of ECAT products are not so crucial right now; the world needs to know; it’s an ethical issue.
    Good luck!

    Dear Andrea,
    You wrote that E-cat can’t power drones. Do you think the Ecat could power ships?

  • Anonymous

    Dr Rossi,
    Why don’t you focus in making heat with the Ecat, since the 60% of energy demand is for heating purposes ?

    New NGU product development abounds. It seems like a new product development project is begun on a weekly basis. Are these products a response to a long established initial master marketing plan, or are these products a spir of the moment inspiration that seems to have no end? Are these products developed in some order of priority, or is the order scattershot and random without any regard to a coherent initial plan? Are these systems a kind of educational exercise so that the partner’s R&D personnel can get experience in the ways and means of the IP?
    

    The rapid cadence of New Product Development (NPD) projects is rarely “spur of the moment” in a professional setting. Instead, it typically follows a structured, strategic framework designed for competitive longevity and revenue growth.
    
    Strategy and Planning
    Master Marketing Plan vs. Inspiration:
    NPD is generally a response to a long-term innovation strategy.
    While ideas can stem from “inspiration” (brainstorming, customer feedback), they must pass through rigorous idea screening to ensure alignment with business goals.
    
    The continuous release of products is often a proactive measure to meet fluctuating market demands and stay ahead of competitors.
    
    Prioritization and Order
    Strategic Roadmaps:
    Development is managed via a product roadmap, a flexible but structured document outlining features and milestones.
    
    High-functioning organizations use specific prioritization criteria—such as market opportunity size and value creation—to avoid a “scattershot” approach.
    
    Priorities are integrated with broader organizational strategies to ensure every project contributes to long-term objectives.

    Educational and R&D Context
    Skill and IP Mastery:
    While primarily commercial, the process often functions as a systematic exercise for R&D.
    
    Overlapping development steps (team-based NPD) allows cross-functional teams to gain experience and increase effectiveness.
    
    Test marketing acts as an educational phase, allowing a company to gain experience with a proposed strategy and refine the intellectual property (IP) before a full national launch.
    
    Strategic Alignment over Spontaneity: Most organizations do not launch projects on a “spur of the moment” whim. Instead, they use a Product Strategy to bridge a long-term vision with actionable roadmap steps.
    
    Prioritization Frameworks: Projects are generally prioritized using data-driven models rather than being “scattershot”.
    
    Common methods include:
    RICE Scoring: Evaluating projects based on Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort.
    
    Value vs. Effort Matrix: Prioritizing “quick wins” (high value, low effort) while strategically planning larger, resource-intensive projects.
    
    Strategic Fit: Assessing how a project protects or leverages Intellectual Property (IP) and blocks competitors.
    
    Without exposure to customer desires, there is no feedback available to base product development on.
    
    The Feedback Loop: The lack of customer feedback is a known risk in NPD. To avoid building in isolation, successful firms incorporate customer-centric strategies:
    
    Ideation: Using surveys and interviews to identify unmet needs before requirements are defined.
    
    Validation: Conducting A/B testing or concept tests to ensure a product matches market demand.
    
    Continuous Iteration: Using post-launch reviews to refine products based on actual user experience.

    The AI take on endless product development:

    Dr. Rossi,
    Wups! I forgot the reference link to the Bloom Server datasheet:

    Best Wishes,

  • WaltC

    Dr. Rossi,
    As a point of comparison, the Bloom Energy Server addresses a market that ECat-based systems will eventually want to address– on-site, 24×7, distributed power generation.

    I say *comparison*, because I think in almost every measure– Cost, Power-density, Environment– The ECat Specs greatly exceed those of the Bloom system. The exception, however, I have to admit, might be esthetics. The Bloom’s brochures and cabinetry are very pretty!! 😉

    ** By the way, in the energy server marketplace, I’d vote for function and cost over *pretty* every time. You’re very much doing the absolute right thing in focusing on what you are.

    Best Wishes,
    WaltC

    Actual Evidence of Virtual Particle Turning Into Real Matter!
    
    In this video, we will talk about actual evidence of virtual particles turning into real matter. In a high energy environment, virtual particles can absorb enough energy to become real particles. Such a high energy environment exists inside of the EVO where vacuum energy is transformed into mass.

    Dear Andrea Rossi,

    You have mentioned about proceeding to a 25kW unit.

    Questions:

    1. May I infer that you have been successful or at least satisfied with the testing progress on the 500W prototype units?
    2. Will the 500W units, if successful, be commercially available or will the 500W production be cancelled if the 25kW units can be commercially produced?
    3. Have you begun testing on the 25kW prototype(s)?

    Dear Dr. Rossi !

    The simplest and most effective way to use ECat would be as a stand-alone electric heater for space heating, cooking, etc.

    Any electric current shape, frequency, and amplitude are suitable for generating ohmic (Joule) heat.

    Therefore, there is no need to use special inverters for ECat to generate 50/60 Hz DC or AC current, which meet the numerous strict requirements of the standard electrical grid and the corresponding certifications.

    This approach significantly simplifies and reduces the cost of the ECat electronics unit. It also reduces the requirements for the ECat’s output voltage and current.

    Dear Amdrea Rossi,

    About 6/7 kV stations:

    “A 6kV (or 6.6kV) substation, often classified as a medium-voltage distribution substation, typically handles power capacities in the range of several Megavolt-Amperes (MVA), often ranging from 2 MVA up to around 30 MVA or more depending on the industrial or utility requirement.

    For instance, a 6.6kV system serving a plant can handle loads of 35 MVA or higher, with bus currents in the range of 3100 Amps.

    Capacity Details for 6kV/6.6kV Substations

    Power Output: While 6kV is often used for medium-voltage motors in industrial settings (e.g., 500kW to 200kW), a full substation at this voltage level generally manages power loads in the tens of megawatts.

    Common Applications: 6.6kV systems are common in marine environments or industrial plants for heavy motor loads, whereas residential distribution often uses 11kV or 22kV.

    Transformer Sizing: Distribution transformers used in these scenarios often range from 750 kVA up to 3750 kVA for individual units, with multiple units often used in parallel to increase total capacity.”

  • Svein

    Dear Andrea
    I read your message on X today.
    I understand the commercial puposes why this does not mention important details about the products and launch dates.

    The announcement to initiate production of 6/7 kV AC production stations for use in low-voltage networks shows a very good understanding of where it now makes most sense to enter the market.

    Today’s energy-critical situations reinforce this relationship significantly.

    To Dr. Rossi:
    This analysis compares the electricity supply in the USA and China.
    Your potential provision of massive quantities of GPU generators to the USA could be a medium- to long-term solution.

    Analysis of Electricity Availability in the USA and China
    ———————————————————
    The global energy situation is revealing what some experts call an “electron gap” between the United States and China, where electricity availability is becoming the limiting or enabling factor in the race for artificial intelligence.
    While the USA possesses the most advanced “brains” (Nvidia chips and OpenAI models), China has the necessary “muscle” to run them on a large scale.
    Below is a detailed analysis based on the latest data from 2025 and early 2026:

    1. The Energy Infrastructure Crisis in the USA
    The United States is facing a serious energy bottleneck that threatens its technological leadership:

    Obsolete Grid: The American electrical system is based on infrastructure that is often nearing the end of its lifecycle (transmission lines, transformers, and substations).

    Explosive Demand: Energy demand for AI data centers in the USA is expected to double by 2030, potentially accounting for 9% of total electricity demand (around 426 TWh).
    In 2025 alone, data centers are projected to require 22% more energy than the previous year.

    Costs and Delays: In key regions like Maryland and Ohio, electricity rates for residents are increasing (up to $18 more per month) to fund the necessary grid upgrades for data centers.
    Some operators, like PJM, discourage the interconnection of new large loads unless they bring their own generation (solar or batteries).

    Inactive Data Centers: The shortage is so severe that some completed data centers remain inactive due to lack of power.
    Even Microsoft’s CEO has admitted that the company lacks enough electricity to install all the GPU chips it has in inventory.

    2. China’s Structural Advantage
    Unlike the USA, China has historically built energy infrastructure ahead of demand, viewing it as a national strategic asset:

    Massive Production: In 2025, China generated over double the electricity of the USA (about 10.6 trillion kWh compared to 4.24 trillion kWh in the USA).

    Execution Speed: In 2025 alone, China added approximately 543 GW of new capacity, a figure 11.5 times greater than the USA (+47 GW).

    Advanced Transmission Network: China has the largest and most advanced Ultra-High-Voltage (UHV) transmission network in the world (45 active projects), a kind of “energy highway” that transports clean energy produced in the Gobi Desert to technology hubs in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.
    Clean Energy for AI: By mid-2025, renewables accounted for over 60% of total installed capacity in China, providing a green and scalable energy base for data centers.

    3. Future Prospects
    To bridge the gap, the USA is exploring solutions such as regional energy parks (hubs that integrate generation and data centers in one location) and the reactivation of nuclear plants (such as a $1 billion loan to reopen a facility in Pennsylvania).
    However, America’s reliance on foreign components and materials for the grid remains a critical vulnerability.
    Without rapid modernization of the entire grid supply chain (from raw materials to transformer manufacturing), the USA risks being unable to power the AI economy it aims to lead.

    Kind Regards

    Italo R.

  • Bonjour Dr Andréa ROSSI

    Tous les jours, j’attends une bonne nouvelle de votre part et cela fait plus de 20ans…ce Dimanche, je vais avoir 80 ans et je commence à douter…pourriez-vous au moins nous dire comment nos dirigeants, nos chercheurs, nos milliardaires réagissent à votre nouveauté qui devrait révolutionner le monde entier? Ici, en France, aucune information n’est donnée … en Italie, votre gouvernement est-il intéressé ?

    A new “export of democracy” is underway to a people with so much oil in their soil.
    There are many dictatorships in the world that no one cares about because they don’t have oil deposits, like Israel.
