OMG!

Dear Dr Rossi,
You are now referring to “preorders” as “orders”.
Question 1
Does this mean that you have decided to proceed with the mass production and sale of the ECATSKLed?
It appears that you are also going to take “orders” for ECATSKLep
Question 2
Does this mean that you have also decided to proceed with the mass production and sale of the ECATSKLep?
Question 3
If I convert an existing ECATSKLed preorder to an ECATSKLep order, will I
actually get an ECATSKLep sooner than if I just ordered it now?
Question 4
How long do you expect the start of ECATSKLep shipments to lag behind the start of ECATSKLed shipments?
You refer to “orders”, but I think you need to better define what an order is. My understanding is that an ECatSKLed order is one ECatSKLed
light, and if I order 3 ECATSKled lights then I have placed 3 “orders”.
Question 5
Is my understanding correct?
I am not sure what a ECATSKLep order is, but I hope you will clearly define that during your presentation.
I hope your presentation is a great sucess.
Warm Regards,

Dan Galburt 2021-12-03 11:33 Andrea Rossi Dan Galburt:
Q1: As you can read on the order form of the SKLed and you will read on the order form of the SKLep starting from December 9, we will deliver
after we will have received at least orders for 1 million units. At that point we will start the war machine we prepared for the mass
production.
We call them now orders because now we can produce an offer complete of all the necessary data ( when we accepted pre-orders we were not even
able to define a price )
Q2: Yes
Q3: Yes
Q4: There will not be a delay in the deliveries of the SKLep
Q5: yes
Thank you for your kind wishes,
Warm Regards,

Replication attempt of Tesla's carbon button lamp

Tip off: Peter Middleton

Gerard McEk • 2 years ago

What is so special about this Bob?

Bob Greenyer • 2 years ago

It is the first attempt at a replication of a Tesla Carbon button lamp that I have ever seen. This device was likely to have produced X-Rays and UV implying it was creating plasmoids

It is a single wire lamp

It will likely create coherent matter and transmutation.

It is like a 1 electrode portable SAFIRE cell

causal observer • 2 years ago

The rotational effects are a little hair-raising.

Mark • 2 years ago

Does the transmutation produce anything valuable?

Bob Greenyer • 2 years ago

unlikely - most likely stops at Fe

Gerard McEk • 2 years ago

Interesting! Thanks. The operator should be careful though.
I would think the first glow discharge comes from H2/ protons. After a while when the anode is heated up carbon ions may cause the incandescent light. If indeed rings with extremely high voltage potentials would appear, then effects like in SAFIRE may happen. It would be interesting to know if excess energy is measured.

georgehants • 2 years ago

Bob I cannot concentrate on videos, would this be over-unity?

Bob Greenyer • 2 years ago

No, at least not in the yield of thermal over electrical watts.

However, the lamp is said to have produced transmutation and X-Rays an UV, so this would need to be accounted for to assess total output.

Gerard McEk • 2 years ago

The show will go on!

2021-12-02 19:34 Andrea Rossi
Dear Readers:
Some preliminar information about the presentation of December 9th:
1- the presentation is irrevocably confirmed
2- it will be streamed starting from 9 A.M. Miami Time on You Tube: you will find the link on http://www.e-catworld.com and on http://www.ecat.com and on http://www.leonardocorporat...
3- the forms to order the Ecat SKLep and Ecat SKLed will be found on http://www.ecatorders.com and on http://www.ecat.com
4- who will prefer to turn an already made order of the ECATSKLed into an order for the ECAT SKLep can fill up the form to buy the SKLep and write at the bottom of the form the phrase ” THIS ORDER SUBSTITUTES THE ORDER MADE FOR THE ECAT SKLED”; otherwise also the former order remains valid.
5- in the video presentation you will find the link to send questions.
Warm Regards,
A.R

Karl_AA • 2 years ago

Hi Frank, not been following your blog so closely for the last couple of years. However, things starts to heat up and it is very very interesting to see and hear what A Rossi is up to these days - when we (on this planet) so urgently need something that is to appear to be a real pure "free" scalable energy solution. I remember now when we first started to discuss Ross on the Swedish Tech magazine "Ny Teknik" - orchestrated by Mats Lewan ... around 2011. It is very good that you have maintained to follow the E-Cat saga, again thank you Frank for that.

A SKLEP demo car would get this technology into the news. You can retrofit your Toyota Prius Hybrid to operate without a gas motor as follows:

Can the petrol motor of the Toyota Prius be replaced with 17 SKLEP 12 volt reactor cores connected in series to charge the 201 volt Prius battery?

One data that I am interested in getting from the demo is the size and shape of the configuration of a 17 core SKLEP reactor.

The Gas motor and alternator is removed from the motor compartment and replaced with an undefined number of the the 17 total 12 volt SKLEP cores connected in series with each core producing 12 volts providing 204 combined voltage. The remaining number of cores is placed in the trunk.

https://cdn.carbuzz.com/gal....

The auto brake driven energy reclaim system is removed. The Prius is powered using electric motors so a transmission is not an issue.

https://www.toyotaguru.us/p...

Components that are to be retained in the rebuild as follows:

Toyota Prius Electronically Controlled Brake System must be redesigned so that it can be functionally removed. The basic brake system looks like it is hydraulic and can be retained

The low voltage battery system. This retrofit may need a 201 volt to 12 volt DC to DV inverter. Such an inverter is a component of this car.

The electric power steering system

As you wait, why not take a bit of time and read the latest tranche of pages from Matsumoto's collected papers,1989-1999 that are now published up to page 91, well worth the read.

oldrolledgold • 2 years ago

As I said before: If the partner doesn't put his name to it/appear then that's pretty much me out thinking he's at all serious.

Frank Sedei • 2 years ago

If this demonstration is successful, partners will be lining up. Not to worry. Just following the money.

georgehants • 2 years ago

Frank, your personal observations and intuition regarding Rossi are certainly helping me to be far more optimistic than I would have been regarding this demonstration.
I certainly hope that Rossi at some point openly thanks you and ECW readers for keeping him in the public eye and all those on page with great knowledge and ability giving assistance, that he must have read and used in his work on occasion.
Thank you.
Hope

catnv • 2 years ago

Frank, at one point it was stated that Deloitte was helping Rossi in some fashion. Is Deloitte still involved and if so will they be participating in the Dec. 9th presentation?

Calle H • 2 years ago

It would be a true disaster entering 2022 and Leonardo saying: Sorry, no production. 1 million orders have not been reached. Its a matter of volume ordering and it has to happen now.

To avoid holding back volume ordering a way forward could be to install hidden SKLeds in some real life applications such sports arena, street lights, grow light. It should not be too difficult to arranged this yet hiding to outsiders what kind of lamp it is. At a given point in time disclose the lamps applications and performance during a strong media campaign. The volume ordering snow ball will soon start rolling. There would be no need for statements by 3:rd party laboratory assistants in white coats with their measuring instruments confirming that the SKLed is real and it works.

Bruno • 2 years ago

If he has a viable tech, yet still says no production, because the 1 million pre-order threshold wasn't met, it will mean that he doesn't have a partner. If he has a valid tech, and he has a partner who was allowed to validate the tech themselves, pre-order numbers would be meaningless. Let's face it, if you have an over unity device that produces clean power, inexpensively, independently of the grid, it would be momentous. You'd be moving forward, no matter what, because there would be NO way that such a product would fail in the marketplace.

Is Rossi duplicating what Ball Lightning doe naturally?

Axil Axil • 2 years ago

See

https://patents.google.com/...
Methods and systems for generating high energy photons or quantum energy

Inventor Kiril B. Chukanov

2. Background of the Invention
The naturally occurring phenomenon known as ball lightning remains one of the greatest mysteries in the field of electromagnetism. Despite enormous contemporary advancements into the micro-universe (i.e. the fundamentals of the structure of atoms, nuclei, elementary particles, structure of the universe, etc.), ball lightning remains largely undiscovered, although there has been significant interest in this phenomenon by numerous researchers and scientists.

Despite the deficiencies found within the prior art, significant advantages would be realized from the generation or production of energy from an object possessing similar properties and characteristics as those believed to be found in ball lightning. This object, referred to as a “quantum macro object” (aka EVO) for purposes of this description, is taught herein. Although the object is believed to be “artificial” ball lightning, any later significant advances made on ball lightning that distinguish the described quantum macro object away from ball lightning are not to be considered limiting as it would still be advantageous to be able to generate energy from an object possessing such unique properties and characteristics as those found in the quantum macro object as described and taught herein despite whether it is actually artificially reproduced ball lightning or some other phenomenon.

vibrator ! • 2 years ago

We're still just discovering how conventional lightning actually works; just on 1st principles it seems tenable that the conductive plasma channel might be 'cold plasma' - ie. boiled-off electron condensates carrying most of the energy before ions have much chance to heat up.

If a lightning bolt contains up-up and/or down-down polarised electron pairings then it'll likely vacate unique quantum energy states / Fermi numbers lower than those making up the surrounding air environment, which will duly drop down into any lower energy states as they become available.. once the bolt's discharged a moment later the like-polarised couplings making up the low-entropy quasi-bosons decohere, forcing the vacuum to assign higher Fermi numbers to electrons departing these coherent states than they initially vacated.

IOW, conventional lightning has a high dv/dt impulse and thus is likely non-thermal plasma in nature, which thus would conceivably replicate the basic gain principle Ecat exploits..

..and guess what? Conventional lightning does involve a hitherto-unexplained gain mechanism, that somehow gives a significant boost to the strike via an influx of energy from the environment.. So Rossi may have also inadvertently provided that explanation.

Ball lightning however is characterised by its persistence, which seems inconsistent with maintaining cool ions or thus a 'cold plasma' state.. doubtless it's a condensed-matter phenomena necessarily involving the same kinds of transient electron condensates, but must be radiating thermal energy of ions very efficiently somehow.. (?)

Frank Sedei • 2 years ago

Nice, explanatory response. "Somehow" is THE issue. Unlike lightning strikes, Ball Lightning somehow has the ability to encase the enormous energy it materializes naturally to a ball shape for a considerable length of time before disentegrating or sometime exploding violently. About 30 years ago, I was privileged to witness the emergence of two in my back yard. One was the size of a basketball and the second half that size Both were a beautiful, semi-transparent, "sizzling", bright blue in color floating about 3 or, 4 feet off the ground. The smaller one may have emanated from the larger one. Beautiful, but intimidatingly dangerous in appearance. They floated methodically, in line, toward me, like bubbles. Thusly, I exited my stance on the screened porch into my home. From the view of an inside window, nothing more was seen of them. Thankfully, no explosion. An unforgettable incident to be sure. An incident that materialized naturally before my eyes. Recently, another Ball Lightning was video taped by a local Falls Church, Va. citizen while walking down a pathway. But, it was a considerably different grey white color, about baseball size, and not as well defined, round shaped. It floated and disappeared into the wooded area. The naturally occurring Ball Lightning phenomena reportedly is more common than observed or reported by the public. It needs more study and public, informative explanation.

Ernest Dallafior • 2 years ago

Frank,
When you visited the lab were there any of his team present, or if not did he introduce any of them to you later ?

Philip James • 2 years ago

Frank-- What is Rossi's explanation for all his secrecy? Does he have a backup plan for the IP in case, say, he gets hit by a car or something?

c. kirk • 2 years ago

Rossi stated awhile ago that if anything happened to him others would be able to continue using his IP

Stephen • 2 years ago

I don’t know if you are still there working with Andrea and his team. But good luck to you, Andrea and all with the final weeks preparations.

I get the impression that this has been well prepared and planned.

It must have been amazing to have the chance to be in a modern day version of “Leonardo’s work shop”.

Gerard McEk • 2 years ago

About a week to go.
Many of us are awaiting the long promised presentation of the Ecat SKL and the SKLed. Last year AR said it would be accompanied by certificates and performance reports of a reputable 3rd party, an international operating company and it would be presented in the premises of his industrial partner (IP). That all looked very promising. Now we know that the presentation will not be held with his IP and the SKLep as the SKL is now called will not be certified yet.
I hope that AR will tell us more why one year of testing did not lead to a certificate yet and also why his IP did not chose to join the presentation, because both are important for the acceptation of his products. However, at least the SKLed should be accompanied with a performance certificate, as far as I have understood Andrea’s comments in the recent past.
Frank said ‘… something huge going on ….’ and I embrace his confidence in Andrea and his products. Let us enjoy the presentation and hope it gives enough confidence for many to preorder at least a million SKLep’s and/or SKLed’s!

Frank Acland • 2 years ago

Gerard, my words were: "I personally think that there is something huge going on with the Ecat. " Everyone will make up their own mind about it, which is as it should be.

Gerard McEk • 2 years ago

Yes, sorry Frank, it was my interpretation of your words. As you know I’m still critical about the Ecat and I will also carefully judge what is being presented. I still hope it will indeed be ‘huge’. I’v slightly edited my previous comment.

Mikey • 2 years ago

As I said before this will probably be just another not proving anything presentation with lots of wires and test equipment that make falsifying the outcome of the presentation possible. If Rossi really has something he would be able to show a real proof after 10 years. I don't count on it.

Obvious • 2 years ago

Frank, thanks for going out there to see Rossi and hear what he has to say.
I often question many things, but never your sincerity.

Michael McGovern • 2 years ago

He's been doing presentations for over a decade...how many more decades are you people willing to wait?

Amos • 2 years ago

I'm with you on this one. While companies like QuantumScape have made lots of progress over the past 10 years, partnering with the likes of VW, doing IPOs, releasing third party tests and publicly publishing clear well laid out goals and milestones for all to see and follow, Rossi is still tinkering in the lab and doing demos. Either he's a fraud or he's just an inventor with a total lack of business acumen that needs to hire a CEO to run his company, otherwise in 2030 we'll still be reading about Rossi tinkering in the lab and doing demos of a new version of the E-Cat
