“Earth’s atmosphere has a considerably weaker warming effect than that of Venus, but it is nevertheless a very important warming, since it brings the planet from subfreezing temperatures where the oceans would almost certainly become ice-covered, to temperatures where liquid water can exist over most of the planet.”
This is simply wrong.
Orbiting at our current distance from the Sun is akin to basking in a 394 K, 121 C, 250 F convection oven and without the atmosphere there would be zero water let alone icy oceans.
'The introduction of E-Cat Power, a new and revolutionary power source, soon to
be available, providing 24/7 unlimited sustainable electricity generation from nature.'
First delivery of NGLs is anticipated by the end of 2025.
'An E-Cat Power generator utilizes a unique component we call the SKL NGU Power Cell.'
'One NGU Power Cell (only 60 mm in diameter) can CONTINUOUSLY generate 10W of DC electricity –
24 hours a day, 7 days a week for more than 10 years'
Or 100,000 hours. CONTINUOUS generation implies the death knell of backup power and intermittent generators on the grid.
'Wind power requires energy storage solutions for a consistent power supply'
'Solar power generation depends on sunlight availability, making it intermittent and
location-dependent'
It forces the installation of backup power for solar and wind, usually gas turbines.
'Just like with solar cells and solar panels, multiple NGU Power Cells can be combined into NGU
Power Generators with capacities from watts to megawatts. And as with solar panels, the DC power
from NGU generators can be converted to AC power using commercial inverters.'
I have ordered 12 kilowatts of NGLs to provide all the power requirements of my house.
This would enable detachment from the national electricity grid and the gas mains.
'E-Cat Power provides 24/7 continuous and sustainable electricity without generating emissions or
requiring fuel.'
No backup needed.
'The superior power-density and modular, autonomous functionality allows for electricity generation
directly at the point of need, including in mobile applications.'
I have ordered two 8kW inverters to be attached to the north wall of my house and four 3kW NGLs to be located close by in the kitchen.
'With low initial costs, no fuel expenses, and a long lifespan, E-Cat Power offers a competitive total cost of the generated electricity.'
Capital cost of NGLs is £2,000 per kilolwatt. At a lifespan of 100,000 hours the cost of maximum generated electricity is 200,000/100,000=2 pence per kilowatt hour (cf. my grid electricity costs 24 pence per kilowatt hour. The cost of NGL power remains at 2 pence per hour whatever the fractional generation might be, incentivising full load operation of the minimum number of NGLs.
'E-Cat Power still lacks any record for long term reliability in professional operation.'
True and a judgement must be made. That said, a 3-year performance guarantee is available.
'E-Cat Power's basic design allows for fully decentralized electricity generation and does not require any connection to the central electrical grid. Once started, an E-Cat Power NGU Generator is expected
to produce stable power 24/7 for an estimated 100,000 hours without default maintenance.'
Full detachment from the national electricity grid and gas mains is possible and probable in increasing numbers.
'As with solar panels, the DC power generated by NGU generators can be converted to AC power using commercial inverters.'
NGLs and inverters ordered. Installation when?
'Solar Power systems: The first official demonstration of an NGU Power Generator adapted
for direct integration in modern solar systems is scheduled for Q4 2024'
'The main economic advantages of electricity made by E-Cat Power stem from a competitive LCOE (Levelized Cost of Electricity), combined with substantial savings due to 24/7 operation in fully decentralized locations and with no mandatory network grid connection.'
In the UK grid connection regulation requires approved inverters and generators. The NGL currently has no such approval, so no generation by NGLs may be exported to the grid.
Great to the newsletter back Chris. Hope you are OK

re Spanish trip - the time taken to recover was too long - trips will happen.
