   See the website is doing a count down to zero. I wonder
what is going to happen in 1.5 hrs? Guess I will have to stay
up and watch.
   Hard to believe that the power companies have not tried
to stonewall this guy. Gen unit in my back yard and disconnect
them. Is it going to be priced to make it worth changing over?

Why would they, it still needs fuel to operate which they control.

Exactly. They get away calling themselves "greener" but the only thing making them greener is money. I would not be surprised if the oil barons allowed this one to pass so they can have an "I'm green" excuse and continue to suck oil and gas out of earth like vampires. The people who actually think this technology is "promising" need to drink some bleach, maybe that will unclog their brains.

Stay away from main stream science and technology, unless you want to join the greed and corruption feast making billions of people suffer or employing sweatshops for your addiction with green toilet paper.

   It is a glorified Catalytic Converter.  It cost 400million to develop along with assistance from the us department of energy .  I am sure that the US taxpayer wont see a dime from the assistance lent by the us department of energy.
(US department of damage control for fossil fuel exploitation).  It runs on fossil fuels.  I know a team of Cuban auto mechanics that could have thrown this thing together in a week for about 2grand and have your exhuast system charging up your battery and get rid of the pesky alternator.  For a little bit more they would throw on a couple of resonator pipes that power up piezo elements that power some thump system for your favorite cd.
