Hi,
If I recall correctly Rossi already mentioned coupling his device with a
Stirling engine, which only needs a hot and cold side.
The Stirling engine can then be used with a linear generator to generate
electricity.
These Stirling engines/generators are already used on a small scale (in

I believe it is more like 10% these days. I am assuming that rapid
progress in thermoelectricity will be made, in response to cold fusion.

There are others, but the Stirling is in a lower range of efficiency. Since

His biofuel Diesel engines have evidently made him a lot of money.
In fact, has not the guy not been mostly a failure for his entire career?
Mostly measured how? If you are tallying up the number of failed

Well the dictionaries are quite clear about this:

Skillfully adapting means to making money does not necessarily imply meeting

Years ago a lot of money was put into OTEC generation, which has very small
temperature differences. Those techniques could be revived.
However, as I said, based on previous Ni-H experiments there is no reason to
think high temperatures will be a problem.
