Zero Point Energy is the energy created when molecules vibrate. I strongly believe that Andrei Rossi is using a neural net which only uses maybe 3 to 5 inputs to control the eCat. I also strongly believe that Andrei uses a custom circuit board for the eCat.

None of this makes too much sense to me:
Where is the "AI" controller that is supposed to control the unit?
How can the controller be included in that price?
The weight of the system is also very light, corresponding to a third of the density of water. I am not sure what you are really receiving inside that device?

This might help for the "minimum grid size" question:

Dear Andrea,
discard this question if you have answered it before.
At home I have a photovoltaic system that through an inverter produces 220 volts current that I can either use or feed into the grid. If by hypothesis the grid is faulty and I produce in isle mode only for my home would the EcatSKLep/mini work?

Giuseppe:
Yes,
Warm Regards,

I asked Dr Rossi two questions about these topics:

1) Have you yet encountered buyer efforts that you suspect are from organizations that would be harmed financially if your SKLep is successfully introduced into the marketplace? [Answer: no]

2) Will you be placing safeguards to protect your orders and information pages ? [Answer: yes]

Interestingly, the text of both questions were altered by Rossi. The first was specific to Russian-backed fake organizations falsifying financial data to protect Russian interests (i.e. Gazprom) by "pulling the rug" out from under his financial footing through withdrawing large orders at the last minute.

My second question gave the specific example of Russian state-sponsored hacker group Cozy Bear and their ability to hack his (any pretty much any) website, orders form and potentially place malware in his AI controller software before it has left the factory floor. Rossi is obviously aware of potential hacks. However, Russian interests in suppressing the success of his product makes their involvement an especially real threat. I hope that he gives sufficient focus to the potential of hacking and how that would quickly undermine the introduction of his products.

His answer to the first question is surprising. Surely vulnerable stakeholders investigate every potential competitive threat, though likely via a proxy buyer. Unless he is quietly filling suspect orders with intentionally inferior product to deceive his competition.

Grid requirement doesn't make any sense except maybe for an earth ground and then it don't make sense when all earth grounding in most homes is just an 8' copper rod sticking out of the ground about a half a foot. It sounds like this is static electron energy in need of charge separation. If this is the case could you not just over charge the device waste a few grams of material?

Just like the "grid theshold" question of being on a ship, we can see this question about a generator.

Dear Andrea Rossi,
Can I somehow power the ECat-Sklep from my Honda generator?

I don’t know, must experiment it.

Dr. Rossi
Do you have tested the SKLep on a boat or ship? (floating in a lake, sea or river of course)
2022-09-05 04:19 Andrea Rossi

Mirco Romanato:
No,
Warm Regards,
A.R.

The question is linked to my other question about what would happen if the grid went down:
the answer is the SKLep power would slowly go down. And my theory about ZPE.

If he test the SKLep connected to the ground (and it degrades slowly) but connected to the grid it doesn't, the question is what happens when the "ground" is just the ocean or a river (many order of magnitude larger than a house grounding).

I actually believe he has no tested the SKLep in a boat.

Wait until the electricity authorities catch up with Rossi.

"You have been detected as being in possession of a device capable of receiving radiation emitted by the electricity grid and also found operating a manufacturing facility and promoting procurement of said device for public use without licence and for the purpose of evasion of due remuneration to the detriment of the grid provider business operation. You have been found guilty of being in breach of article 1/137, sub clause 42 of the licensing act. Go straight to jail. Do not pass Go and do not collect $100.00"

future political speech: "In my administration not a single electron will flow without a proper background check and licensing!"

Nicely done!👍😎

Thanks, it's just a recalibration of the sanity threshold!
I was actually thinking of this in serious terms. If Rossi was grid free there would be no issue, but we see misappropriation of the grid enabling both electricity "theft" (certainly reliant on the infrastructure), and customer theft. This could lead to a court room battle by the utility companies based on an electricity theft argument at risk of being seen for disgruntled lose of customers. Rossi is biting the hand that feeds him.

Wh / h == [wait of it] W

W == Joules per second

1 Wh = 3600 Joules
1 W = 1 J/s
3600 J/s = 4.8 hp (UK)

This little "nuclear" battery .cup of paste here generate about à.'0.85 amps current under an electric potential différence of 12 volts permanently . Obviously this is designed for a lot of gadgets DC direct power supply but for the grid connection it appears to me that if you have the required sum the 250 dollars (SEKLEP 100 Watth) should be the way to go .instead of buying 10 smaller units (too many connections )

I prefer the fair explanations of cristal matrix (artificial diamant paste batteries) which trough added nuclear waste carbons ( C14 decaying to C12) nucleus ACTIVE neutron emission and decays of same( FREED neutron from Nucleus decaying naturally (max 15 minutes)in at least one electron plus kinetic energy and something matter like a proton usually) Those electrons are collected (similar to solar panel collecting of electrons) and usable for a battery design. That is in short the "nuclear" battery which is the future. Rossi use a similar "isotopic transformations in a paste of matter" mechanism to generate its "batteries" (SKlep) electric power.
Vacuum Energy or void space energy "exist" in Disney-world of mathematical equations only.(be careful with used POSTULATES)
We are just witnessing this simple nuclear process here and that is the cheap future of quite "permanent" electrical energy. produced out of "radioactive" material.(There is NONE "no radioactive" material on earth but some emit rare and few only neutrons-electrons per year) together with the matter localized powerful implosions (the free neutron implode in fact) mechanism which deform the cristal matrix (think about electricity generated by Silex stones shocking by "cave era men" when used to light fire) generating quite high electric potentials (VOLTAGE)
Of course like for solar panels you need here also a kind of "grounding" in the run in order to be able to maintain the electrons (electric current) collection.(if not this paste will be statically " electrically overcharged")
The infinite energy source is there, in matter.
There is nothing in the vacuum except INFORMATIONS (including the opposite spin) how to separate matter (mass plus of an electron) from anti-matter (mass minus of a positron)Their total (electron plus positron) when mixed is ZERO in mass They individualise themselves. PROVIDED you supply right there (from outside) the energy needed ("localization" of dipôle couples electron-positron) The energy needed is supplied to vacuum by electro-magnetic fields exclusively (observe the gigantic fields lines emitted in cosmology up to new stars "seeds" apparition.)

re: " Of course like for solar panels you need here also a kind of "grounding" in the run in order to be able to maintain the electrons (electric current) collection.(if not this paste will be statically " electrically overcharged")

The infinite energy source is there, in matter. "

WHAT!!??

"infinite" is figurative vs real: (the size of the Universe is a postulate)
The energy is in the matter, not in the vacuum space which need energy to localize any matter.
Shape of vacuum space change under the action of electric and swirling electric aka magnetic fields. That is why two magnets (with swirling direction correctly aligned) attract each other at a distance (the field contract the "vacuum" space between the field " lines" junctions )

We have to do something. The politicians want to pour another $370 billion into what seems to be more solar panels and wind turbines.

Could have more fun at a funeral.

Could we bring back the Hot-Cat and make a steam powered Lamborghini?

re: "We have to do something."

Well, you won't embrace ANY of the findings of Dr. Mills at BrLP. You have only yourself to blame at this point.

Yeah, I'm not to fond of it because it's a chemical reaction.

http://disq.us/p/1g8xcu6

It would be interesting if Mills used deuterium instead of protium to see if the deuterium nuclei (when in the lower orbitals) get close enough to fuse.

Like muon-catalyzed fusion (assuming the hydrinos from deuterium would be diatomic).

The most troublesome omissions from the MiniSKLep's specification are details pertaining to:

Power consumption: 0 Wh/h (grid connection is needed though. An input power converter is included and can be used to power multiple units.)

So you need use the provided "input power converter"...
What are the INPUT specifications for the "input power converter"?
And it needs a "grid connection"...
What constitutes a "grid connection"?
One wire? Two wire? Third wire ground?
Minimum wire size / impedance?
Minimum size of the "grid"? Entire US sized grid? An island's grid powered by multiple generator plants? A single generator plant? How big of a generator plant?
Etc...
This list of questions could go on and on and Rossi provides no information. Why? Because he doesn't know the answers...

why? because the grid delivers the 100Wh/hour and the sklep is not more then a plug?

...and why offer a DC input option if mains connection is required, after all no input power is needed?

Perhaps the 'grid connection' requirement is potentially 'grounded' (ahem) in the ZPE energy extraction pathway as you and others have speculated on/around earlier below. I found it intriguing. Thank you!

Would you just need a earthing rod?

Rossi says and earthing rod is not sufficient. There must be a "grid connection" and offers no guidance/details as to what a "grid connection" entails.

Strange as many earthing systems are some form of Rod in the ground, be it copper even if using Chemical Enhancers. Can't understand why, if it was just necessary to ground why some form of local earthing would not be sufficient. Not sure if Rossi is just keeping this bit quiet or the device needs quiescent power, 50 Hz Ref. All of this can be replaced by battery but makes it much more inefficient.

Rossi wrote the SKLep would slowly reduce its output is the grid failed.
This, to me, mean a "normal" ground circuit act more like a "capacitor" as it transfer a charge to the local ground. And more it is charged, less the device is able to work.

My worry is this:
what happens if a very large ground is charged by the SKLep(s) (like a big capacitor) and something discharge it suddenly? Nothing? Something? Something funny and sparky?

I suppose the grid of a small island (and the ground) is not a problem, because the ocean make a very nice and big ground (capacitor).

The problems come out when the ground is "local" and do not interconnected with anything else.

I suppose this would allow ships to be powered by SKLep.

re: "Would you just need a earthing rod?"

What for? So it doesn't 'float' away'? Earthing is used ONLY because a primary in a normal residential transformer is at between 2400 to 14,400 V AC and a SHORT from primary to secondary will blow THE PRIMARY FUSE if one side of the secondary is GROUNDED. Otherwise, the secondary could 'float' up to the primary voltage ... VERY DANGEROUS.

Don't know much about RF Jimbo do you

re: "Don't know much about RF Jimbo do you"

Can it, dude. Address the issue at hand, IF you can ...

It was a sensible question dude, and requires a sensible answer such as JohnOman's. I was just wondering did it require some small amount of power or 50Hz ref, or some form of grounding. Earthing can be very useful, screening, Star and Delta Power Transmission, RF reception, Power Storage etc. etc. This is new science so maybe a good earth is required for something else? so I was expecting a better response not to be treated like a Dimbo. Yes I can Jim and I did you just did a sanctimonious reply to a very valid question.

A contribution by all. :-)

I asked AR if the connection to the mains was for the purpose of stabilizing his device if it starts going into a melt down condition. He replied "also".

Then wouldn't that connection need to meet some kind of minimum specifications? WT* are they? He doesn't know...

Would not a simple in line DIAC triggered by a sudden voltage surge disable the device. No need for specifications.

So you think any old thing I consider to be a grid is good enough? Small island village with single generator running and a couple distribution xfmrs? I don't think he or anyone else knows. If he does, he needs to say it. See my list of grid related question above.

That's what I'm doing... Blaming him for all the obfuscations...

Tolerance John. I'm thankful for the enjoyment he has provided me by giving me something to think about, right or wrong. In my 92 years of life I have been exposed to ideas that cannot be falsified and therefor are available to offer speculation beyond commonly held views of science. Keeps me kicking the can down the road.

At 76 I was there when the first CPU on a chip was invented. At 92 you were there when the electrons that flow in that CPU were invented.

The first printed circuit I saw was a pencil drawing of a tank circuit in Scientific America. the capacitor was two parallel lines and the inductor was a drawn coil both devices connected by drawn lines. The author claimed he could induce a square wave by connecting a battery at two opposed locations of the drawing using the pencil lines as conductors.

Maybe the SKLEP's special innovation is confounding electric meters. This would at least fit the data.

I have checked the specifications for the Mini.
However nowhere do I see an output voltage.
I would hope that the output voltage would be able to charge a 12volt battery?
Strange that it is not shown.
Maybe I have missed this some were, it does need to be greater than just 12 volts.
Or variable from 12 to 15 volts. DC
Still, I find if I am correct, the omission of the voltage output, Is shoddy.
Till I have a complete specification for the Mini, I will not order any.

You can find the output voltage specified on his website here: https://ecat.com/ecat-minis...

Ok! thanks found that.
So, if output is 12volts Dc. Fixed?
You would need at least 2 minis to charge a 12volt lead acid battery.
As your later post states, is the input 230 vols Ac. OR?
