Ecat Q&As Completed

Over the course of the last ten days or so I have been collecting questions from readers, and others who had watched the December 9th presentation, and sending them to Andrea Rossi. The questions came fairly rapidly at first, and then started to taper off, and I have made the decision to call it quits.

If people have further questions, I would suggest they go to Rossi’s own blog at the Journal of Nuclear Physics, and ask them there.

Below are the questions that were collected and Rossi’s answers. I sent them to him in 11 separate batches, so the ones at the top are the most recent ones.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Q&A part 11

I am interested in determining how much floor and/or shelf space I would need to house the SKLEP system. Do you plan to vary the size of the enclosure based on the number of SKLEP modules that the enclosure contains. Or do you plan to use a single enclosure size that is capable of housing a maximum number of SKLEP modules.?

We supply the modules as described in www.Ecat.com

I plan to use only single SKLEP modules in my configuration. Will a
maximum sized enclosure be used to house a single SKLEP module?

No

If you plan this type of standardized maximum sized enclosure
strategy, I will need to erect an out building to house the SKLEP
system configuration.

2. Based on the fact that the SKLep is based on the SKL i assume the
unit contains a bulb to contain the plasma during normal operation. A
typical discharge lamp has a lifespan of up to 5000 hours, which is a
lot less than the expected operational lifespan of 100 000 hours for
the SKLep stated on your website. Did you do tests to evaluate the
lifespan of the plasma bulb, and can you give us some confidence that
this will not be the bottleneck when it comes to longevity of the
device?

we made tests and the description you wrote is wrong. We do not give information about how the Ecat is made internally

Mr Rossi, Large-scale manufacturing is a specialty. Mastering all the processes and carrying out all the necessary controls during production is not easy when you talk in millions of units: 1. don’t you think that you should join forces with an industrialist whose business is the production of several million units, such as it
is for the smartphones manufacturers ?

Our industrial strategy is not public

2. why don’t you assign the patent? The fortune of you and your team
would be made, and enjoy your retirement, time flies. Humanity would
need a source of clean energy within 10 years to stabilize the climate
crisis.

Thank you for your suggestions

3. you impose a million units in pre-order before starting production. How long will it take you to serve the millionth customer?

I hope less than one year

Q&A Part 10

Dear Mr. Rossi, you estimate the lifespan of the SKLep at 100.000 h
continous use, which equals around 11 years of continous use. What, if
the SKLep is not used continously but only some hours a day (say 12
hours). Would this result in a longer lifespan (in years), since the
100.000h of use time are stretched on a longer period of days/years?
Sorry for my bad english … 🙂

Theoretically it would be so: the 100 kh should be of operating time, but, oviously, we have to experiment it

I have some questions about the power INPUT.
1. What is the input voltage range for the DC version?
12-14 V
2. What is the input voltage for the AC version? Will it accept both
110V/240V 50/60Hz or do we need to specify the grid voltage and plug
type when we order a unit?

120/240 @ 60/50 Hz is fine

Some questions about the power OUTPUT of the E-Cat:
1. What is the voltage of the version with AC output? Is it also 12V?
no, it is 220 or 110
2. What is the frequency of the AC output?

50 Hz for 220 , 60 Hz for 110

I read that the output of the E-Cat can be adjusted using a
potentiometer on the top of the unit. Is this used to set the output
voltage of the device (0-12V) or is it used to set a current limit or
even a power limit (0-100W)?

voltage regulation at the output

Mr Rossi,
You no longer talk about the composition of the ash inside the
reactor, do you think isotope decay is still relevant?

I don’t think so

1 Is the output completely floating and isolated to achieve a series
configuration?

yes

2 Can the one controller drive all the series units?

yes, with modifications depending on the specific situation

3 Is there a specified maximum number of units that can be connected in series?

theoretically not

I am interested in configuring a highly reliable parallel connected
combined system in which I can control power production over a wide
range. In order to do so, will I be permitted to order 12 standalone
systems each consisting of one 12 volt DC module together with its
controller at a cost of $250 each?
If not, what would the extra cost to configure these systems be?

I need to know exactly your installation: before the delivery we will give you the necessary instructions

Mr Rossi,
A few questions about the E-Cat’s 12V switching power supply.
(professionally I often use this kind of power supply to equip my 19
‘chassis)
– why do you use such a powerful PSU (~ 100W) to deliver a few Watts
to the E-Cat ?

confidential

– in general, this type of power supply has 4 terminals for the
output: + V, + F and -V, -F. The + V and + F terminals must be
connected together, as well as the -V and -F terminals for the power
supply to function properly. Maybe the output comes with just 2
terminals (0V, +12V)?

No

When I need more power, adding more SKLep, can I modify the control
unit by myself under your guidance?

Under our guidance

The plasma inside the SKLep emits light. Is it possible to use this
light for room illumination?

Good point: we are making experiments in this sense

Q&A Part 9

Will the control unit be able to control future higher power versions
of the E-Cat?

yes, with modifications

Is the firmware of the control unit upgradeable?

yes

Does the core of the E-Cat emit so called ‘strange radiation’

no

Does the E-Cat produce any kind of noise when it is powered up?

no

SKLep life is supposedly 100 thousand hours. Does it mean that there
is some “fuel” which lasts that long?

confidential

SKLep supposedly lasts 100 thousand hours of continuous service. Does
switching it off extend those initial 100,000 hours?

100000 hours are intended to be operative: when the Sklep is turned off the time count stops as well

Does the size of the enclosure vary with the number of modules that
are housed in that enclosure.

yes, proportionally with the number of units

What are the dimensions of a single module enclosure.

see the video

You state that the SKLEP is patent pending. 1.Has the patent office
run tests on the SKLEP to verify that the claims made in your patent
application are valid? 2.If the claims are not yet tested, will these
test be run before the patent is approved?

The patent office make all it makes for all patents

Could you give some hints on how to integrate SKLep units in a solar
panel installation so that existing 3 phase inverter and connection to
the my house installations and the grid could be utilized.

we give this consulting to our clients, and they depend on the specific situations

Why the wattmeter indicates 0.7W while the voltage is 223V and the
current 0.02A? by the math 223*.02 = 4.46W. The consumption is
measured before the power supply? this seems impossible because only
the idle consume of the switching psu is higher than 0.7W.

The green line shows the W of absorbed power, which means the actual Wh/h consumed by the appliance ( included the power source, as you correctly write). The red lines indicate the V of the grid and A, but when you make V x A you must apply the power factor. The number that shows the W is only the green one.

Mr Rossi, since the power supply of the control system is not
indicated on the synoptic, maybe the CS is self powered by the E-Cat,
am I right ?

Yes. The control system is not connected to the power source

What will happen if you don’t get the 1 million pre-orders? Will you
give up everything or will you continue your research without thinking
about putting in an Ecat again?

I am sure we will reach the 1 million units ordered target and will give well above it

If I want to order other SKLep after receiving a first order, will I
benefit from the same price?

yes

Dear Andrea Rossi, don’t you think that the review of YouTube would be
doubled if the title of the review were, for example, “Demonstration
of a 10-year uninterruptible power supply” or “Demonstration of an
electricity source efficiency factor> 90”?

I pass it on to our expert of this issue, but thank you for your good will to help us !

Is the operating time of the SKLEP 100000 hours the same even without
connecting the input power supply?

If you do not make this connection the Ecat SKLep doesn’t work

Q&A Part 8

1. There is a three year warranty stated. What about the 100,000 hour
reliability claim?

it is not guaranteed, it is a theoretical estimation

2. What happens if the system fails after the three year warranty is exceeded?

we don’t expect it to happen, but probably we will substitute it after the Client returns it back to us, so we will be able to study the problem

3. How are performance issues handled during the three year warranty?
what do you mean ?

4. Does the repair, any repair delays, and shipping to and fro time
count against the warranty time?
the time due to delays imputable to us will be recovered

5. Is the warranty reset to day zero after repair of the SKLEP?
No

My risks as follows:
I must pay the electric utility more than $500 for special metering
and connect approval study. If I fail to get approval of that
connection process, I am out that money and I must cancel my preorder.
I may need to down size my order to comply with the Utilities
connection requirements; Is this allowed?
You should to clear the issues before we delivery. Until we don’t delivery you have to pay nothing to ushttps://e-catworld.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

How can I add addition 100 watt modules after system delivery if required?
Please specify the environmental and operational conditions for the
ecat lep. It would be good to include them in the specifications.
We will supply all the necessary instructions when it will be the case, provided you send us exact specifications about your situation.
All our specs are in www.ecat.com

Hi, I did not see any Amp measured between Ecat and the Resistor, no
temperature of oil or any prof of producing energy in the
presentation. You spent most time showing the input power but no
results other then 12V and it says nothing.
Ohms Equations: A = V/R ; W = A x V
In the video we put in evidence V and R, from which you derive A and, consequently, W

Q&A Part 7

What happens if you short the output of the unit when it is powered
on? Is it protected?
yes

Is the unit protected against reverse current on the output? (e.g.
connecting a 24V battery to the 12V output of the unit).
yes

Will the unit be serviceable if a defect occurs after the warranty period?
yes

Are there employees of your company who have been provided a
pre-production version of the SKLep/SKLed products so they can
use/test them at home?
confidential

Mr. Rossi
I see it this way today: addressing the car industry, setting up a
joint venture and issuing shares on the stock exchange.
Best Regards
thank you for your suggestion

My solar energi system has 16 panels, each about 300W, 35V, connected
in series to a 5kW 3 phase inverter. Each panel is connected via an
optimizer making the panels power production independent from each
other. Each panel produces at its maximum even if the roof is party in
shadow. Can i replace one of the solar panels by three 12V SKLep
connected via the optimizer used by the replaced panel.

no, they are different things. You can integrate, not substitute

Does the ECAT SSLep continue to produce electricity in the case that
input voltage to the controller goes to zero?
no

In the AC to AC version of the SKLep are there two converters, one for
input to the controller and one for output from the white box?
it depends on the situation

Q&A Part 6

SKLEP .. Is its resources equally lost by supplying 100,000 hours of
electricity or without load?
I do not understand this question: please rephrase it

Can it be damaged due to a short circuit in the load, an overvoltage
both at the output and a lightning discharge in the control circuit
(for example)? Is there an electrical potential from the 220V mains?
No. The AI saves the circuit

Is it affected by strong electromagnetic or magnetic fields?
It depends on what you mean by “strong”

What are the operating ambient temperatures?
from -20 through 60 °C

I have a dehumidifier who need 200 W, can I use it with 2 Ecat-SKLep ?
You should

I heard that there was a security preventing an electric car from
driving when it was plugged into a charging station. Will it then be
possible to plug in the SKLep to power an electric car when it is in
motion?
we never experimented this issue, but it is worth an experiment.
Thank you for the suggestion

Q&A Part 5

1 Does the e-cat SKLep have a reactor inside?
yes
2 If yes, is it the same or similar to what you called the SKL?
yes
3 Is there is more than 1 reactor / SKL inside the e-cat SKLep or is
there is only 1 inside?
confidential

If combining ECatLEPs to serveral kW, transforming it to 240V, would
it be suitable to be pushed/sold to the net just as solar cells? So
the output would be x kW of ecat power minus the efficiency of the
transformator?
should be

Dear Doktor Rossi congratulations on your development! Do you plan on
adding sales and marketing professionals to your team? This might be
inevitable regarding the goal of one million pre-orders. Good luck and
best of wishes, Pipo
The Team will be expanded in proportion to the activity

Dear Mr Rossi, about the electrical wiring schematic, the “control
system” part intrigued me. Please, and if it is not a secret, can you
tell me what is the power consumption of the “control system” part
(which is electrically connected to the E-cat) ?
see the video

Subsidiary question, if I may: why the energy taken by the control
system is not included in the overall balance?
see the video

Dear Andrea! Can I feed the controller with a simple 12 V DC device,
for example, one made for loading 12 V car batteries? Is it important
to feed the controller with exactly 1 W? If I buy 10 SKLep, can I buy
just 1 controller?
yes

To me, the demonstration shows that have succeeded in something no one
else has been able to. Congratulations. In one of your answers you
stated that the SKLep would be distributed by regional licensed
companies. I would like to become this in my region, which is
Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. I can see a bright future for this
technology.
go to www.ecatorders.com and send your order. At the delivery send an email and we will talk of this issue

At the top of the SKLep there is a knob that can be used to modulate
the power output. This makes sense when it is a stand-alone unit. My
questions are:
1) Is the controller a separate unit, and is it provided with the 40
SKLep I have ordered?
no. It is incorporated

2) In a bank of many SKLep with many in series and in parallel,
adjusting each unit separately is not possible. Is it possible to have
a signal wire to each unit from a central controller so the entire
bank can be modulated, or do you have an alternate method to do this?
we will regulate already the power to be contingent with the assebbly and the AI will maintain it

3)Will you have a different configuration of SKLep that will allow it
to be easily assembled in a bank that is closely spaced for efficiency
and is optimized for weight and size?
see above

4) The order form provides options for AC or DC as the supply power,
and also options for the output power. What is the AC frequency
requirement for input, and what is the output frequency?
50 Hz for 220 V, 60 Hz for 110 V

5) will you be issuing a technical manual to assist in designing
products that use the SKLep? If so, when can we expect this?
yes

6) Can the options for AC or DC be changed until the the notice that
the units will ship?
yes – send changes to [email protected]

Thank you Mr. Rossi
Ted

If several SKLep systems are combined, only one controller is needed
up to 100 units. Is the price, for example, for 10 SKLeps with one
controller much less than 10 complete systems, (since the controller
must be a significant part of the cost)?
no, the AI becomes more complex for any adjunted item

Dr Rossi:
Since the power at the input of the assembly is 1W, control system
included, I suggest that the synoptic to be clarified:
– either the microcontroller card has its own power supply (+ 3.3V +
5V) and should be added to the synoptic, by properly connecting the
power supply input to the output of the Wattmeter.
– either the 3.3V and 5V voltages come from the 12V power supply and
in this case a connection should be added on the synoptic going from
the 12V power supply to the microcontroller card.
confidential

Dear Andrea Rossi,
I am very pleased that you have come to the conclusion that ECAT’s
operating principles can be based on a “zero point energy” source,
which is a step in the right direction. I also have a question:
If I buy 20 SKLEP, connecting them to two parallel circuits of 10 pcs.
What will be the solution with the control unit? Will each unit have
its own control unit, or will there be one for the entire circuit, or
one common unit?
With best wishes
Kazimieras Liepis
The AI will be adjusted to this particular schematic

What will you do with your invention if the 1Million mark is not met?
WE’LL CONSIDER THE ACTUAL GLOBAL SITUATION

Q&A Part 4

 

Okay, so, I’m a regular dude, who is not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I was watching the presentation, and I saw an artificial intelligence system that looked like it was outside of the E-Cat SKLED. Is that required to make it work? If so, will we get one if we buy a SKLED?
The SKLed does not have AI. The SKLep has
Do you plan to give or lend some ecat SKLEP to some scientific people so that they can confirm your claim and spread the information ? I’m thinking of youtuber of some scientific channels for example.
no
Please, display on tour site counter of preorders
not for now
Can you say what is the thermal heat output is from the two devices?

irrelevant

Is the 1W input power for the SKLEP for the device it self or also including the controller and AI?

includes all

Will the controller and AI be built into the same unit for the final product?

no, it will have its box
I have placed an order for an SKLed and intend to do the same for the SKLep, but my question is, are you or any of your partners/licensees working on rolling out any other products using your invention, and if so, approximately how much longer will it be until we see any of those products offered? Thanks, and congratulations!
not so far
Thank you
Does SKLed require power supply during normal operation? Or power is required only in the beginning for “ignition” ? Thank you.
permanent
SKLep Heat/Operating temperature: Can multiple SKLep units be packed together with no space in between them? Will a cooling system be required?
can be packed- no cooling system is necessary
Can one SKLep be used to power others?
it could
Can a portion of the power output of the SKLep be diverted to the input so that it is self-powering?
it could
1.the 12v battery needs at least 14,5 volts for recharge. so what is the upper voltage limit of the SKLep?
14-15
2. Is it possible to connect two or more SKLeps in series to recharge batteries with higher voltage?
yes
Thank you and congratulations for your invention.
Greetings, do I need any additional unit apart the Ecat SKLep that has been shown in the presentation? In other words, the named (artificial intelligence) group of pcb that was part of the presentation, is it needed for user operations? And, if yes, is it required? And if yes, is it already integrated as part of the final device Ecat SKLep?
Thanks for your efforts over the years
Giovanni
all the AI circuit is included in the price. It is necessary.
Is a sklep with more output possible to make, like a 1kw edition?
it is possible
For connection to grid and deliver power to grid, need inverters from 12VDC?
yes
in Ecat.com you say that “the Ecat SKLed is a compact LED-based lamp with a luminosity of a 100W LED lamp”, that is SKLed should produce light 25 times more than a standard LED-based lamp. But in your today’s presentation the ecat SKLed measurements indicated 167 lux versus 900 lux of a 98 watts standard LED lamp. That is, the SK Led lamp comsuming 4 watts is “only” about 5 times more powerful of an ordinary 100 watt LED lamp. This is a very good performance, anyway, but … can you explain better the difference with the statement in ecat.com?
in the presentation we did not compare the power, but the efficiency
What is the AC output in vrms?
I do not understand what you mean
Most private boats run on 12 volts. It would be invaluable to be able to maintain a charged battery bank by supplying 15 amps at 14 volts. Could I achieve this with two EL units? What would be the cost of purchase and delivering the required components to the UK?
Please, provide some evidence for clarification that ensures no radiation is occurring e.g. the string-vortex solitons or any other radiation. If you could present this kind of evidence, then the public can understand how the Leonardo Corporation/e-catworld.com is detecting the emissions of a very dangerous and carcinogenic causing ‘cold neutrinos’.
see the video. 
Will you later develop acessories eg an adapter for ten 12 V EcatSKLep with a 1 kW 240 V inverter and a built in 12 V small starter battery? I you plan to develop this type of accessories please say so because that will encourage people to order more EcatSKLep items now.
thank for the suggestion
Dear Andrea, I’m not aware about any disrupting technology in history that did not clash with crowd’s believes. I don’t usually watch commercials neither and, if I do by mistake, I erase the specific product from my buying list. Nevertheless, in quality of Ecat SKLep potential buyer I’m still confused, will it be possible, if coherent with your market approach strategy, set up a simple presentation for a simple minds where an actor receive the Item in a box, he/her plugs it onto the main and with that in place he/her gives power to a light bulb old style (100w tungsten filament). My Best Regards, Giovanni
thank you for your suggestion
One ecat SKLep costs 249 $ and produces about 2,4 KWh in 1 day. The same power may be easily obtained by a solar panel with a cost of no more than 100 $. Obviously, the Ecat is small and can be placed everywhere. This is not possible for a solar panel. Anyway, the cost of an ecat actually seems uncompetitive compared to solar panels. Do you think that the cost of the Ecat SKLep will decrease substantially in the next years?
the ecat sklep works 24 hours per day at maximum power, a solar panel works 4 hours per day at maximum power and generates zero energy for 10 hours per day.

The SKLed pays itself back in 1 year, a solar panel in 10 years

Once turned on, can the Ecat-Sklep power itself? Or can it feed a second Ecat?

see the video
Hi. Does the price of $249 include one controller per SKLep? What if I buy 10 units of SKLep to build a 1 kWh/h-output system, do I need 10 controllers or only one? how is the price calculated then? Plus how long will the SKLep last? For 1 year, 10 years, etc? Is there a warranty? and for how many years? Cheers.
1- yes; 2- only 1; 3- 10 years; 4- Yes, see the order form; 5
before you were having a problem with inductive loads ( running an elecric motor for example) is that now resolved? demo only verified resistive load
yes
The demo was at 12 volts . I hope you have configurations for 110 and 220 as well for bread applications if those are not available now when will they be?
now with an inverter
Hi Andrea, I was disappointed that we did not see the SKLed presented. I thought that is was the main product to be presented and we would see at least a few lit up, perhaps the ones shown in the video? Can we see a video of the lights in action?

see the video

Mark
It would seem cost-prohibitive to use E-CatSKLep alone for most applications, and better to use some combination of SKLep and batteries. How do we calculate the optimal combination?

depends on the situations
The model that you are pushing for the pre-order what type of work is it most suitable for. Usually products comes in a endless number of versions to be suitable for each application.
modules are like bricks: you can make what you want assembling them in series and parallels
Universities, companies investors like to do their own tests. Do you have any plans to offer test/lab kits for the market?
Depends on the situations

When will we be able to order the ecat sklep? What is the expected price range per kw?

see the video then go to www.ecatorders.com
Will there be bigger sizes than 100W, f.e. for a power company who want to built a powerhouse of (f.e.) 100 MW?
now we use modules of 100 W and there is no theoretical limit to assemble them
Are you going to make an all in one larger unit for instance 1000 kWh?
no
If not how will individuals deal with hooking these 100 watt systems To make a larger supply for a household?
assembling in series and par
Are you planning on releasing some of the LEDs to news organizations and scientific companies to test? As well as the generator?
depends on the situations
What do you think about this idea? If you want to get to 1M orders you should contact Nilsson Energy in Sweden, install a bunch SKLEP in one of their electrolyzers for free. When he see that it works he probably will be your salesman in Sweden. He is well known and a pioneer in sustainable solutions and will be a loudspeaker for your product.
Then I would order 80 of them.
Best regards.Curios Swede.

thank you for the suggestion
Perché non mettete sul vostro sito web un contatore dei preordini raggiunti ?
because I don’t see the point
How much will the power unit cost per unit, how much will the light unit cost per unit, when will the power unit ship, when will the light unit ship? Where do we sumbit orders?
Why is the SKLep 10x more expensive then the SKLed while both are 100W (or of equivalent value of 100W)
because is 10 folds more complex
Can I daisy chain these SKLEPs together to get even more energy?
yes
In the demo you show the AI separate from the ECat SKLep. Will this be integrated into the 7x7x9 cm box for the final product?
no, they will have a separated box, included in the price
If I want to use 10 units which could give 12 V at 1kW how to connect and control them?
depends on the situation
Is there any way to get multiple Ecat_SKLep units to work in series to continuously produce 24v DC (36,48vDC etc)?
yes
When will the US federal tax credit be available upon purchase of your SKLEP product? If I install solar power , I will receive $30,027 as a federal tax credit.
I am not able to answer
 Do you plan to compete with solar energy on this issue?
they are two different things
Are the controller and the 12V DC to 240 V AC inverter (for that option) included in the size and weight of EcatSKLep or are they in additional boxes?
they are additional issues
Do You have a “B Plan” – like finding investor and selling the technology to him so he could produce E Cats on mass scale? There are rich people that really want to manufacture novel energy sources
reality is also dynamic
How many on / off cycles can be done during the life of the SKLep?
the on/off cycles do not affect the lifespan
How many hours of operation are foreseen for the SKLep, do the on / offs affect the useful hours of operation?
100000 hours
What happens to the SKLep if the load is inductive, and not resistive, like a low power DC motor?
Is is possible to run two 12VDC 60W motors directly and continuously for 24 hrs, like the ones used in autonomous factory vehicles, using on vehicle on-board (fully changed 600Ah) battery to power the IA cards and the ecat?
Thanks
it is possible to use inductive loads, so long the powers match
You answer with “see the video”. Where is a video showing ssm?
when I disconnected the Ecat
In the video of the SKLep there was quite a bit of external control circuitry. Is that to be incorporated into the Ecat box for the final product, or will there still be a lot of external circuitry?
when the load is superior to the power of the Ecat, the AI shuts it down
Does the AI Controller permit the generation of dc, or 50 or 60 Hz, on command?
Depends on the kind of installation
Do you consider what powers the Ecat to be “fuel” or “catalyst”?
“Futalist” ?
The Ecat employs plasma and reactants. 1) Do you consider this a Hydrogen-Metal-Energy (HME) system? 2) Other than the plasma do the reactants contain metal and hydrogen?
1- no; 2- yes
After it starts up and gets into self-sustain mode, will the SKLEP continue to run indefinitely if I unplug it?
yes
Can you share exactly what CE standards the light and power source were certified to, and if their copyright laws will allow, post the report that needed to be given to CE to support the certification process?
no
From Bologna report and the demo i understand that the control unit is not integrated in the SKLep (white box). Also the power supply is separate.

yes

A. So what will Leonardo on order of one SKLep for $249?

1 One SKLep (white box) only
2. In addition to 1. one control unit
3. In addition to 1. and 2. one power supply

correct

B. What is the size of the control unit

4″ x 4″ x H 1″

C. On order of say 5 SKLep units, will you deliver 5 control units?

one control box
Can the SKLEP be connected to the grid and maintain constant full power production?
yes
When operating as an independent power provider, does the SKLEP’s configuration require a configuration that meets or exceeds the maximum worst case load condition. For example, if my current service is 200 amps 240 volts, do I need to request a SKLEP system that will meet that worst case power demand production situation to avoid a low voltage problem?
yes
Does the SKLEP automatically turn itself on when power is required?
yes
Is an enclosure and backplane supplied with all SKLEP orders from 1 to 100 modules, or does the customer required to wire his own configuration himself?
we supply one enclosure already wired
What was the 98W LED light you were comparing the SKLed to? This is a single bulb that consumes 98W or is it a 98W *equivalent* LED?
it is an average led
I read that the price $249 is for 1 SKLEP and 1 control unit.
Where I understood the control unit is the more expensive part.
wrong

 

Q&A Part 3

Hi Andrea, can you explain the yellow halo on the edges of the light from the SKLed?
it is due to the structure of the led emission and its particular spectrum
What is the maximum power that can be generated through series and parallel connection?
Theoretically there are no limits
How many units can you swi
tch together?
100 per control unit
Can I switch 100/120 SKLep to the controller? Can this number of controllers connected to SKLep be increased in the future
yes and yes
Hi Andrea, you showed the lux measured instead of lumen this kind of value doesn’t matter nothing about the efficiency of a source, why this measurement?
because lux are directly measured by the instrumentation; since the ratio between LM and LX is linear with the power, we wanted just to show the different efficiency of the lamps, with constant angle and surface of the light source
How can you claim 100,000 hr use when you have not been able to test that long?
We do not claim, we do make a projection based on analysis of the components after certain period of time and other theoretical parameters
Dear Andrea, I’m not aware about any disrupting technology in history that did not clash with crowd’s beliefs. I don’t usually watch commercials either and, if I do by mistake, I erase the specific product from my buying list. Nevertheless, in quality of Ecat SKLep potential buyer I’m still confused, will it be possible, if coherent with your market approach strategy, set up a simple presentation for a simple minds where an actor receives the Item in a box, he/her plugs it onto the main and with that in place he/her gives power to a light bulb old style (100w tungsten filament). My Best Regards, Giovanni
please watch more carefully the video
How long after that does SKLep SSM mode last?
for as long as you let it go
Which international testing organization has the SKLep certified by?
this will be disclosed only to the Clients
Does the SKLep only generate electricity under load?
yes
Does the led have enough waste heat to make the SKLed hot?
no
Andrea, you are requiring that a million people agree to purchase your products before you will start manufacturing, why didn’t you spend the money on a professional presentation? I am a true believer in what you are doing and it frustrates me no end to see such an amateurish presentation of such an important product. Surely your manufacturing partner has enough confidence in the products to invest some money in a professional presentation. Maybe talk the CEO of Apple into giving some tips on how to do a product introduction.
thank you for your opinion
How can the SKLep adapt to the electricity consumption of a consumer?
depends on the situations
Is there a manual with the approved applications for the SKLep?
yes
Does SKLed require power supply during normal operation? Or power is required only in the beginning for “ignition” ? Thank you.
it does
Dear Dr. Rossi, will be every one module E-Cat SKLep sold with own one control module or what else?
yes
Is the SKLep safety-certified and approved for consumers and industry?
yes
What functions does the internet control of the SKLep have?
all of them
In the video of the SKLep there was quite a bit of external control circuitry. Is that to be incorporated into the Ecat box for the final product, or will there still be a lot of external circuitry?
it will be in a proper box
Are you planning on releasing some of the LEDs to news organizations and scientific companies to test? As well as the generator?
only if necessary
Dear Andrea, So one Ecat SKLep gives 100 W? Is it easy to connect several? How is it done? / Best regards Lars
they can be assembled without limits, in parallel and/or series
What is the size of SKLep again
cm 6 x 6 x H 11 (2.4″ x 2.4″ x H 4.4″)
How long after the start does the SKLep SSM mode begin?
several seconds
What happen to the SKLep if too much current is drawn from the load, will it damage the device or will the output voltage simply sag
the A.I. will turn it off
How much does both devices cost?
Can you please add vat number to your order form.
Leonardo Corporation is a US company, therefore it does not have a VAT number
Will there be bigger sizes than 100W, f.e. for a power company who want to built a powerhouse of (f.e.) 100 MW?
there is not necessity, the assembly can have theoretically no limits. Anyway we are working on bigger modules
when is production starting as soon as we are enough close to the orders target
Dear Dr. Rossi, in the description of the SKLed you describe that the SKLed produces the same amount of lumens as a 100W standard LED. However, in your presentation, SKLed has 167 lux versus more than 800 lux for the 100 W standard LEd. Can you explain this? Thank you very much.
The efficiency is given by LX/W
What is the AC output in vrms?
we do not emit AC current from the Ecat; the emission of AC depends on the inverter, not from the Ecat
Dear Dr. Rossi, is E-Cat SKLep producing some (even small) radioactivity? If Yes, what level?
please watch the video ( obviously NO)
In the demo you show the AI separate from the ECat SKLep. Will this be integrated into the 7x7x9 cm box for the final product?
no
What happened to your You Tube video?
it works well. During the first hour we had overcrowding issues, perhaps also hacking activity, but our IT guys resolved the problem. Now it works well
Hi Andrea, you showed the lux measured instead of lumen, this kind of value doesn’t matter nothing about the efficiency of a source, why this measurement?
wrong, please read the answer I already gave above
Why are you not taking a third-party to verify the numbers and then let them present it ?
we have taken a third party, see the University of Bologna reports, made after an agreement to make independent measurements
Are you going to make an all in one larger unit for instance 1000 kWh? If not how will individuals deal with hooking these 100 watt systems To make a larger supply for a household?
we can make higher power assemblies, connecting the basic modules
Congratulation!! How long will the ecat SKLep work constantly before “refueling” it?
I am convinced 100000 hours, but it is a theoretical projection
Does the intensity of Cosmic Rays influence the performance of the SKLep ?
no
1) After starting the EcatSKLep with a 12 V batteri, is it then possible to use the 12 V output to drive the input or could this generate a loop back problem for the AI? 2) Can the outputs of 4 EcatSKLep be connected in series and in parallel ? 3) Can the output of one EcatSKLep drive several other EcatSKLep:s without loop back problems? 4) Can an EcatSKLep drive inductive loads (motors)?
should be yes to all, but the A.I. need always an external power source independent from the Ecat
Is the control via the controller independent of parallel and series connection?
depends on the situations
Wie kann ich ein Gerät Bestellen gibt es vordrücke dafür, und wie sind die Preise dafür?
please translate in English

yes
Is the content of the certification by an international testing organization also the certification that no ionizing radiation is emitted by the SKLep?
yes
Can you share exactly what CE standards the light and power source were certified to, and if their copyright laws will allow, post the report that needed to be given to CE to support the certification process?
the certification volume is restricted to the clients and will be delivered together with the Ecats
Can you say what is the thermal heat output is from the two devices? Is the 1W input power for the SKLEP for the device it self or also including the controller and AI? Will the controller and AI be built into the same unit for the final product?
the 1 W input power is mainly for the A.I. and the power source. The AI will be put inside its box
It would seem cost-prohibitive to use E-CatSKLep alone for most applications, and better to use some combination of SKLep and batteries. How do we calculate the optimal combination?
depends on the situations
Does the SKLep switch itself off automatically if no power is drawn, or does it continue to idle?
the AI turns it off automatically
For the SKLep: Based on the Voltage table 5 for Prototype B, the average is 11.6V into 1 Ohm, so the output power (V^2/R) is 135W . Assuming an input power of 1.0W the COP (In+Out)/Out = 136 The actual total internal power at a solar cell efficiency of 40% is 338W (135/0.4) and a COP of 339. This would be the amount available for heating, which is very impressive. The thermal component is thus 203W – so the box should be quite hot. An even greater thermal loss is expected for the SKled , presuming it uses a solar cell to generate electricity and an LED to generate light, Question 1 : What is the temperature of the SKLep when running at full power?
low
Question 2 : What is the temperature of the SKLed when running at full power?
low

see the video
Can you or members of the E-Cat team give a technical presentation (virtual or physical) to an IEEE Society? It is important for engineers who will apply the technology to know about this important discovery. Would devices be available for independent testing before the 1,000,000 order point?
no
I want to confirm that I can use several SKLep at one time. And how would this be done?
yes, connecting them in par and series
I have placed an order for an SKLed and intend to do the same for the SKLep, but my question is, are you or any of your partners/licensees working on rolling out any other products using your invention, and if so, approximately how much longer will it be until we see any of those products offered?

Dear Mr. Rossi, I had already signed up weeks ago as [email protected] for the Q&A round. Please make this possible for me. Thank you very much.

Thank you for your attention. You can put here all your questions: this is what I meant

 

Dear Andrea, I would ask how several SKLEPs can be connected in parallel, to sum multiple power outputs. In further detail, the several SKLEP outputs can be directly wired each other, o further protection devices should be added ? (i.e. to balance load, and/or avoid undesired reciprocal current flows between the outputs, etc.). Thank you in advance. Renato. PS: I write this question before the presentation, so ignore it if you’ll already answer to this issue during the presentation.
Good question. It will depend on the specific situations
