"I am quite surprised that Andrea Rossi has been so open with his plans for the public presentation of the first E-Cat SKL product. True, we don’t know the date or location of the presentation, but we do have a good idea now of what will be presented."


 Really?  After this many years?

 How long does a legitimate program need to remain exclusively in the mind of the one person that knows how it works?

More Details on the E-Cat “SKLed”
Posted on March 13, 2021 • 15 Comments

Andrea Rossi has been using the term “SKLed” to describe the product he has said will be the first mass-produced E-Cat product, so I think that is how we should refer to it for now.

There have been many questions posted by readers on the Journal of Nuclear Physics over the last day which have produced answers from Rossi giving a clearer picture of what the SKLed is and what it does. Here are some points that I have picked up from the ongoing dialogue:

1. The SKLed will be a lighting product that will marketed for all kinds of uses: industrial, commercial and domestic.

2.The product will be sold, not leased.

3. The SKLed will need to be plugged into the mains to operate – either into either 120 or 240 Volt outlets.

4. The SKLed will use specially designed LED lights built by a US partner, which Rossi says are optimized to work with the E-Cat SKL producing light at a very high efficiency: “It is designed to make light with a dramatically high efficiency, by orders of magnitude higher that the best existing LED illumination systems (220 LM/W).”

5. Rossi expect the SKLed to operate for many years, 24 hours a day, without requiring a recharge of any fuels utilized by the E-Cat.

6. The SKLed will be produced by Leonardo Corporation and built in the United States.

In short, it sounds like the SKL is a very high efficient light. LEDs have been adopted very widely around the world in a relatively short period time because of their superior efficiency compared to earlier lighting technology. Many businesses and households have moved entirely to LED lighting because of the energy savings they can realize.

If the SKLed turns out to be more efficient by orders of magnitude, compared to traditional LEDs, we could be looking at the next revolution in lighting.

The Ecat SKLed does not have fittings, it is one cubic box with Ecat and lamp incorporated jointly.
Warm Regards, A.R."

Let's join the main peanut gallery consensus about the unified lights as being a Phillips Lighting distributor product.   Very few makers of LED lights of higher capacity can alter their product to use the trashy peaky irregular power directly from an E-Cat SKL.   Phillips fits the bill and is already known to have contacted Rossi about a year ago.

Why it can work ---- multiple E-Cat SKL units output a moving voltage and amperage that circulates around a "designed mean" with irregular swings up and down as the controller acts to reel the the reaction in.   You have as many tracts up and down as you have SKL reactors, and they get into and out of sync with each other in a random fashion.

Putting them stacked on top of each other in multiples, you get a somewhat irregular DC power supply with a very trashy, noisy nature.

Somebody (Phillips ???) has designed a higher power LED system to accommodate this trashy, noisy DC power and if you consider the separate power from the mains (you need clean power to run the reactor controllers) as the input energy and the output LED light in lumens in your simple COP calculation you get COP numbers in the order of large hundreds.

Rossi claims the lights can run 24/7 for years without needing anything in the way of reactor replacement as the LED's will wear out and die before the reactors weaken significantly.

Growing hydroponics food under grow lights possibly becomes a commercially feasible thing now.

 I'd consider buying a few just to see what they are and test them alongside other LEDs but there's no way I would take on an 11-year warranty with this company.  I would only be interested in a warranty on the 1-year efficiency payback.

 Realistically it should only take 6 months of monitored usage to prove the claimed level of efficiency.

E-Cat Presentation Announced for November 30th 2021 in Sweden
Posted on March 20, 2021 • 7 Comments

Today on the Journal of Nuclear Physics, Andrea Rossi has posted the date and country of the promised presentation of the E-Cat SKL:

Dear Dr Andrea Rossi:
1- can you say now where the presentation of the Ecat SKLed will be made and when ?
2- can you say if the Ecat SKLed will be shown while operating in the concern of a customer that will participate to the presentation ?
3- can you say if the presentation will be made with the certification of a third independent party made ?
4- can you say when all the clients that have sent you a request of the order form will receive it ?
Thank you if you can answer,
Ruby

Ruby:
1- Sweden, November 30 2021. By then we all will have been vaccinated against the Covid.
2- yes
3- yes
4- about 10 days, I am waiting the last design of the body to make an updated photo. All the rest is ready.
Warm Regards,
A.R.

It’s interesting that the E-Cat SKL will be shown operating at a customer site. It makes me wonder if the presentation itself will be held on a customer’s premises. If so, it would be a first, and would lend a lot of credibility to Rossi’s claims about his technology.

Having a third party report/certification will of course also be a boost to the E-Cat’s credibility, so long the certifying body is identified as a competent and independent entity.

I do hope that Mats Lewan will be participating!


Rossi intends to reveal some separate distributor product development threads from more than one distributor team.

More than just light bulbs are in motion, interesting.

Rossi responded to questions about the unit life going way way way up, he says some life issues were resolved by the move over to multiple contact plasma reactors.

My read on it goes like this ........ small single unit items will run the Rossi E-Cat SKL of one form or another.  

Large multi-megawatt heat based plants will run the Mills Sun Cells.

Your home could run off Rossi or Mills units, with the Mills centralized as a large heat source.

Rossi is likely to be built right into separate items as they are developed.

Rossi will eventually join up with charging a power wall of some sort.

My initial understanding is that it is a squarish separate one piece fixture more akin to a kitchen style light fixture.   The controller and the reactor are built into the fixture in such a way that cannot be taken apart without destroying it.

Like the other Rossi devices, it needs a connection to simple 120 volt AC mains power to stably run the control circuitry.   In consequence, it has a COP number, which is very high using the light output as the relative output measurement metric vs the energy taken from the mains to get it going and maintain it.

This is all pending the promised (fairly soon) explanations, specs and pictures ........   and it is noted that no discernible difference in your power bill will be seen off just one unit as the benefit from a single unit is small and gets lost in your daily power use fluctuations.

Some more details have been posted by Andrea Rossi on the Journal of Nuclear Physics about the E-Cat SKLed. I think at this point we have a good idea of what to expect at the November presentation.

Rossi has stated that the dimensions of the SKLed are 10 x 10 x 15 cm (4"x 4"x 6") with a weight of 200 g. (7 ounces)  This includes all the controllers, E-Cats and lights.

Today someone posted about a new LED from Philips, a bulb that is manufactured specifically for Dubai, and not sold elsewhere, apparently:

Dear Andrea,

Please find here the latest innovation in LED bulb from Philips: https://www.mea.lighting.philips.com/consumer/dubai-lamp

And an interesting analysis and reverse engineering video of it here: https://hackaday.com/2021/01/17/leds-from-dubai-the-royal-lights-you-cant-buy/

Hope you find it useful.

Targets
Bright regards,

My ECAT SKLed generates 2500 Lumens per W, more than one order of magnitude of the presently lamp of Philips, then.

Should Rossi apply for the Biden money?    Likely not as Rossi does not care for the strings he has found in the past that are attached to govvy work.

photographed on a backdrop of pinnacle of obsolescence.  

My cynical take on the E-Cat unit shown and the info that was put forward is that Rossi is likely simply encouraging Phillips and others to jump on in as major distributor partners.

He shows them a spotlight unit that they cannot match in any fashion without using the same technology.    He applies a price point that they can easily match or exceed at their volumes of current production and current sales.

Rossi will likely get a distributor taker or two to take all his existing orders over for actual fulfillment long before he hits his million orders.

WHY IS ROSSI DOING THIS ?????

If he goes after cars or home heating he personally is likely to get a bullet in his brain, but just making a slightly eccentric LED light fixture isn't nearly as threatening to the powers that be.

Plus, Rossi encourages you (you, you major commercial supplier of whatever that you are supplying today) to send over a smart young engineer or two to his labs to take a good look around to see if you as a corporation want to buy into E-Cat technology before it potentially obsoletes all that you are making today.




BTW, on-line ordering is ready now .......   https://ecat.com/ecat-products/pre-order-ecat-skled
