The AGEI Index
17 December, 2024 in Science
A new scientific paper, in which I am a co-author, for which I was responsible for the mathematical correlation between the index and the actual energy correspondence from a physical perspective.

In a world where energy savings are becoming increasingly important to reduce CO2 emissions, the development of an index to assess the most efficient configuration of heating/cooling systems and air-to-water production systems is extremely valuable. Such an index provides a clear, quantifiable method to optimize configurations, especially when retrofitting/expanding existing plants, enabling the implementation of solutions that minimize environmental impact while maximizing efficiency. By focusing on energy efficiency, these systems can contribute significantly to both sustainability and cost reduction, playing a crucial role in the fight against climate change.
AWGSim Homepage
12 November, 2024 in Computers, Science
AWGSim, my simulator of AWG machines, has a new homepage:
www.paolocattani.com/awgsim.php
AWGSim is a modular, real-time simulator of an Atmospheric Water Generator based on the Vapour Compression Refrigeration Cycle (VCRC) technology. AWGSim can be used to study and prototype AWG machines, and/or to predict their actual behaviour depending upon real-life external condition (temperature, humidity). AWGSim is currently utilized in scientific research settings and has supported various scientific publications focused on atmospheric water generation and the integration of AWG machines within HVAC systems.
A600GS
4 August, 2024 in Computers, Games
I’m really glad to announce that two games of mine, “ThunderHell” and “Virtual GP”, developed for the glorious Commodore Amiga range of computers, are now available as preinstalled games on the A600GS from AmigaKit Ltd!
The 86 Tribute
17 May, 2024 in Cars, Computers, Games
The “86 Tribute” series for the VGP3 Engine is my heartfelt tribute to an iconic sports car renowned for its exhilarating driving experience; with its lightweight design, rear-wheel drive, low center of gravity, and perfectly balanced chassis, it has captured the hearts of driving enthusiasts around the world.
As a token of appreciation for all the joy and excitement this little japanese sports car has brought into my life, I’ve created this mod to share the experience with fellow enthusiasts.
It is my humble tribute to one of the most fun cars I have ever owned. If you want to have fun driving a “virtual” version of the GT86, you can download (for free) a special version of the VGP3 Engine, containing that series, from here:
