True, but that's a large-scale technology. The ingenious Swedish development has no major moving parts except a pump, I presume, and it lends itself to domestic home-heating. It's scope of application would depend a lot on the temperature at which the phase-change occurs and the latent-heat input that requires. The 35-ton brick idea is interesting, but it would require an unsightly tower and some pretty complex control systems.
