Looks like Philip isn't the only horse in the race.

A company in Texas that is doing the same thing.

Looking at those other ones they don't look anything like the quenco other than the fact they use heat for genereating electricity from wasted heat in certain apps.   It does not IMO sound like it's based on the same concept.

a efficient solution to get ambient heat to QUENCO, the article say that is 30 times more efficient that a conventional solution.

Hi everyone,


Here is an update.


The scientists working on fabrication have made a lot of progress and over the next few weeks they should finish all sorts of technical calibrations that will allow mass production. Another highly qualified and skilled scientist is joining the team so things will speed up.


The mistake of June launch was mine by being naive as to all the things that needed to be tested such that a standard method of mass production and optimisation could be developed. I am now hopeful that it will be the first week of August but I will not give a launch date until they have done all their work to their satisfaction. I have 100% confidence and respect for the top level scientists working on this, and I am so grateful they are giving their time for free to be part of this.


Phil
