Entirely novel and environmentally energy technologies
Self-running electricity generators based on the so-called ECAT technology
Last update 2 November 2024
Summary: The so-called ECAT technology provides large amounts of thermal and / or electrical energy from very small amounts of hydrogen and nickel. The electrical power which is required to control an ECAT system is much less than the generated output power. Meanwhile small and self-running 10 W and 100 W electricity generators were developed. These generators can be pre-ordered. Meanwhile also pre-built based generators with the following output power can be pre-ordered: 1 kW, 2 kW, 3 kW, 5 kW, 10 kW, and 1 MW. The 5 kW generator, for example, has the dimensions 15 x 25 x 50 cm. It is intended to start the production of these self-running electricity generators when 1 million pre-orders are collected.The operation principle of the ECAT technology was / is considered in terms of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR). Meanwhile, however, the inventor and developer of the ECAT technology, Andrea Rossi, considers the operation principle in terms of the zero point energy. The author of this website prefers to replace the latter by vacuum energy, space energy, or ether energy.

Until about 2020 the development and testing of heat generators and heat-generating power plants was in the foreground. So far they are not commercially available because
of long-term tests, reliability tests, and
troubleshooting. Some were installed and tested at third
parties and undisclosed customers.
Later another potential ECAT product was developed, namely a very efficient lamp which was called Ecat SKLed. It is a compact LED-based lamp with a luminosity of a 100 W LED lamp or a 700 W standard incandescent lamp. Yet it consumes only about 4 W electric power thanks to the Ecat technology inside. In the meantime the Ecat SKLed was put into the background or withdrawn.
Subsequently another potential ECAT product was developed, namely a small 100 W electricity generator which needed an input power of 1 W. Meanwhile an input power power is no longer necessary and these types of generators are self-running. They are called Ecat SKLep NGU and can be pre-ordered as 10 W or 100 W version. Some of their technical specifications: Ecat SKLep NGU 10 W: Output power / voltage 10 W / 12 V DC, expected operational lifespan about 11 years. Ecat SKLep NGU 100 W: Output power / voltage 100 W / 12 V DC, expected operational lifespan about 11 years. Meanwhile also pre-built and NGU-type-based generators with the following output power can be pre-ordered: 1 kW, 2 kW, 3 kW, 5 kW, 10 kW, and 1 MW. The 5 kW generator, for example, has the dimensions 15 x 25 x 50 cm. It is intended to start the production of these self-running electricity generators when 1 million pre-orders are collected.

According to Andrea Rossi the Ecat SKLep converts inside light into electricity, see https://e-catworld.com/2022/01/21/ecat-sklep-light-energy-into-electrical-energy . Previously it was intended to replace the hydrogen and nickel in the heat-generating power plants every 6 or 12 months. That seems to be not necessary for the Ecat SKLep, at least not within the expected operational lifetime of about 11 years.

The ECAT SK heating technology was presented by a worldwide broadcast
on 31 January 2019. The ECAT SK device comprises a heat exchanger for
fluids and generates 22 kW heating power by using only small amounts of
hydrogen (provided by a solid hydride material) and nickel powder and an
electric input power of only 380 W. The dimensions of the ECAT SK are
about 40 x 45 x 95 cm. The size of the internal reactor core - in which
the low energy nuclear reactions between hydrogen and nickel take place -
is quite small, namely 11 mm long and 3 mm in diameter. The filling of
an ECAT SK unit with small amounts of nickel powder and a solid hydride
material allows an operating time of at least one year.
The ECAT technology was / is considered as a
LENR-based technology. LENR means Low Energy Nuclear Reactions which
usually imply no harmful and radioactive byproducts. Broadly speaking it was assumed that hydrogen H (1) and nickel Ni (28) merge
via LENR to copper Cu (29) which releases a large amount of energy.
Meanwhile Andrea Rossi considers
the underlying physics in terms of dense electron clusters,
electron-proton aggregates at picometer scale, and their formation via
vacuum polarization and zero point energy. That is presented in the following paper: E-Cat SK and long-range particle interactions, Andrea Rossi (January 2019 and updated on 21 October 2022): https://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.28382.48966/11 . The author of this website considers the zero point energy as a special case of the so-called space energy, ether energy, or vacuum energy which is presented in https://novam-research.com/resources/information-document.pdf
Report from the author of this website from 22 November 2015 about the ECAT technology (5 pages pdf): https://novam-research.com/resources/ECAT.pdf
There are indications for a new and harmful type of radiation - called strange radiation - which is emitted from LENR reactors: https://e-catworld.com/2018/10/05/strange-radiation-tracks-from-lenr-reactors-documented-by-alexander-parkhomov . The currently available results of studies indicate that this new type of radiation is most intense within a distance < 20 cm from the LENR reactor and significantly weaker for distances > 20 cm. Furthermore, it seems that this new type of radiation can be screened. Thanks to Dr. Felix Scholkmann for communicating this information.
