From e-catworld.com: This is a comment that was posted on the Journal of Nuclear
Physics by reader LarryG, which I thought would be appropriate to repost
here.
Dear Rossi/SKL supporters:
Corrections and constructive criticism regarding this post are welcome.
This post is long, but I hope fellow Ecat enthusiasts will take the
time to read it and take action as they feel comfortable in doing.
The ECAT website has a “Join Us” tab with the headline: “Be part of the team”. See https://ecat.com/join-us
The final paragraph appeals to us that we “become a member of the
team together with your community, spreading the word and helping to
reach one million preorders to make the lamp and the power source as
affordable as possible. It will allow us all to light up and power the
world in a sustainable way.” I am writing this post to encourage you to
do so, and to give some suggestions on how this might happen.
RATIONALE
Why is it important to “spread the word”? Rossi needs to hit the one
million piece order for economy of scale to start up his production
lines. While the hitting 400K in less than a month is extremely
encouraging, it is not a guarantee that the rate of pre-orders will not
drop off. Let me use a Pandemic analogy…the #D921 event was like a
superspreader yielding a huge spike in orders, but if the R value is not
high enough the launch will drizzle out. We, as supporters, can help
keep the R value up to keep the orders coming in at a fast rate by
spreading the word. (In this analogy, R value is how many customers pass
on the information so that new people “get infected” and place orders, R
has to be greater than one to ensure a fast ramp to the one million
target).) Even if the R value is greater than one right now, the higher
it is the faster we get to a production launch, and the faster the world
can stop wasting billions of dollars on things like fusion R&D, and
stop the surging trend toward fission power reactors, reducing fossil
fuel consumption, etc.
You might be reluctant to “join the team” since groundbreaking
technology like the SKLep always gets bashed by the scientific community
since it goes against how they currently think the world of science
works. This has been the case for millennia, events like “the world is
not the center of the universe” comes to mind. The fact that the SKLep
superficially looks like a perpetual motion machine does not help. It
has been a popular belief that ZPE is not accessible as Garret Moddel,
Professor Emeritus, Photonics & Quantum Engineering, U of Colorado
discusses in his presentation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tGRhTXKh8A
about his ZPE research journey. But please take the risk of some knee
jerk skeptical feed back and pass on. The Ecat website also references
the WiKipedia ZPE article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy#External_links which is much more technical and exhaustive discussion of ZPE.
TALKING POINTS
You will need “talking points”. Here is a start, corrections and constructive criticism are welcome.
1) Andrea Rossi and team have been working on this new technology for
over a decade, and finally are taking pre-production orders for a 100W,
12V power source: https://ecat.com/ecat-sklep.
It comes with a pre-orders, cancelable at any time, order payable only
when shipped, and no credit card info needed to place an order. Complete
refund within 60 days if it does not meet the specifications, and a
three-year warranty.
2) The product has been CE certified.
3) The device is patented United States Patent no. US 9,115,913 B1
4) Rossi has publication (PDF) E-Cat SK and long-range particle
interactions (researchgate.net) which discusses the physics that may
properly explain the energy production of the SKLep. For less technical
discussion of zero point energy see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tGRhTXKh8A
. An extremely simple explanation is that there is a plasma discharge
of special design that promotes an electron phase change of clusters of
electrons that allows energy extraction from the zero point energy which
exists everywhere.
5) The device has been independently tested by Giuseppe Levi,
Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Bologna, see
Measurement of SK-Ecat performance in a series of sessions from October
20 to November 19 2021, and Performance of SK-Ecat prototype on a six
hours period.
WHO TO CONTACT
Andrea has shared that the bulk of the orders to get to the first 300K
was “larger orders”. Orders such as my own of 0.0002% of the target
quantity will not have any real impact on reaching the goal, the order
quantities that will reach the goal have to be in the hundreds, if not
thousands each. So please indeed share this exciting technology within
your personal social sphere, after all this is a world changing event
that we can participate in, at least a low level. But more important try
to network with persons you encounter that could eventually lead to
larger orders. As an example, if you have a tech rep show up at work for
Keithly instruments, discuss this over coffee break. If the Rep’s
interest is peaked enough, you can email them the links/info above, and
they might take it to their boss who might recognize this product as a
way to enhance their higher power rated power supply product line,
converting them from AC main power source to SKLep power source with
similar price point but vastly reduced power consumption. The list of
applications is as long as the list of power sources, instruments,
devices and appliances that need hundreds of watts DC.
