General
Why have we not previously heard of research on Zero Point Energy (ZPE), and of Ecat technology?
Reporting on technology development occurring at the border of established physics requires several qualities—solid scientific training, great openness, true humility, and high courage.
The audience you can target at an early stage might also be limited. It makes spreading the awareness of technology such as the Ecat challenging.
In addition to this, the inventor initially believed that the effect had its origin in so-called LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions), with a series of theoretical issues. It took him years of experiments and studies, most of them collected in the bibliography of his paper until he could understand that the concept of ZPE was resolving all the theoretical issues raised by LENR.
Why hasn’t Ecat technology been turned into a product until now?
Ten years for going from an idea to a product is perfectly normal with known physics. With unknown physics, 10 or 20 years for arriving at a product could be considered a feat and impressively fast.
Ecat SKLep
How much is 100W (the energy production of the Ecat SKLep)?
100W would power your TV-set continuously. But 100W non-stop power could be used in more ways. Producing 100W for 24 hours means 2400 Wh or 2.4 kWh of energy.
An average household in the EU consumes about 10 kWh of energy per day, so with 4 or 5 Ecat SKLep and some energy storage, you would theoretically cover the electricity consumption of an average household.
The Ecat SKLep could also power an electric car. On average, cars in the EU travel 12,000 km per year or 33 km per day. An electric car consumes about 2 kWh every 10 km, so the average electricity consumption is about 6.6 kWh per day. In other words, you would need 3 Ecat SKLep to cover the average electricity consumption of an electric car, theoretically.To power a car driving continuously you would need more. Driving at highway speed or 130 km/h, an electric car consumes about 2.5 kWh per 10 km. In one hour, the energy consumption would be 33 kWh which equals a power consumption of 33 kW. This means that 330 Ecat SKLep, each producing 100W, could power an electric car running non-stop at highway speed.330. Ecat SKLep would have a combined volume of 145 liters, and a weight of 82 kg.
How much is 1W (the energy consumption of the Ecat SKLep)?
1W is very little power. It is less than the consumption of essentially any device or lamp you have at home. It can easily be provided from a rechargeable battery.
How does the Ecat technology inside the SKLep work?
The Ecat technology stands on 20 years of R&D and is based on an innovative way to apply the physics of the electron. A theoretical hypothesis, explaining the operation of the Ecat SKLep, is presented by inventor Andrea Rossi in his paper E-Cat SK and long-range particle interactions, which has been read 63,000+ times and can be downloaded here
By how much does the Ecat SKLep reduce CO2 emissions?
If you use the Ecat SKLep to replace power from the grid you will consume 100W less grid power. In 24 hours, you will have saved about 2,4 kWh of energy. The world average carbon intensity of electricity generated is 475 g CO2/kWh, so on average, depending on where you live, you will reduce CO2 emissions by about 1 kg in 24 hours.
What are the advantages of generating electricity with the Ecat SKLep compared to other methods?
Lower cost, no CO2, no pollutants or emissions of any kind, no fuel consumption, continuous availability 24/7, decentralized, small size, low weight.
In which applications will Ecat SKLep first come into practical use?
We believe for the charging of batteries.
Are there any disadvantages?
Honestly, we don’t think so, but maybe we are wrong. Not that we are aware of, though.
Which applications are next in line?
We believe heating.
How much money can I save on electricity?
If you use Ecat SKLep to replace power from the grid you will use about 100W less grid power. In 24 hours, you will have saved about 2,4 kWh of energy. In the EU, the average price per kWh is about 0.21 euro, meaning that you will save about 0.5 euro in 24 hours, or 180 euro in a year.
Can I preorder the Ecat SKLep now?
Yes, you can preorder the SKLep here now.
How many units can I preorder?
You can preorder as many units as you like. Please contact us for large quantity discounts.
When do I have to pay?
You will pay for the Ecat SKLep only when it is time for shipping. Leonardo Corporation will inform you the day before the shipment.
When will I get the Ecat SKLep?
As soon as we get 1,000,000 preorders, production will start and you will get your Ecat SKLep as soon as possible. Leonardo Corporation will inform you when the deliveries will begin. In any case Leonardo Corporation will inform you of the delivery date within December 31st, 2022.
Can I change my mind?
Yes, you can change your mind any time, by sending an email, cancelling your order.
How can the price be so low?
In order to make the Ecat SKLep as affordable as possible we have set the preorder requirement to 1,000,000 units. In this way we can keep the production cost of some specially designed components low.
What happens if the SKLep doesn’t work?
If the SKLep’s performance does not correspond to the data-sheet published on Ecat.com, you have 60 days after the delivery to return the Ecat SKLep. The refund will be made immediately after Leonardo Corporation receives the returned Ecat SKLep integer, without parts that are broken or tampered with.
What happens if the SKLep breaks?
The Ecat SKLep comes with a 3 years warranty.
How long lifetime does the Ecat SKLep have?
The operational lifetime of the SKLep is up to 100,000 hours, meaning about ten years of uninterrupted, continuous use.
Can I recycle the Ecat SKLep?
Yes, the Ecat SKLep can be completely recycled by Leonardo Corporation.
Are there other Ecat-based products?
The Ecat SKLep is the first Ecat-based product to be presented. The Ecat SKLep (ep stands for electricity production) was introduced at our online event on December 9, 2021. As soon as other applications are mature, Leonardo Corporation aims at presenting more products making use of clean and affordable energy from the Ecat technology.
