The approach was developed for use as a heating plant on Russian
submarines back in the days of the USSR. (Why not just use waste heat
from the reactor to keep the sub warm? They don't say.) A 3-phase
version was subsequently used on the MIR space station.
I noticed the picture of the submarine and the MIR. I don't understand
why either platform would require a water heater, the sub has waste
heat, and the MIR has solar radiation.
Most recently a 9-phase version has been developed. (WTF?? Nine
phases?? French electricity must be weird indeed!)
That's got to be a mistranslation, there is no 9 phase .
They've got CE certification, or so they say, along with some other
certificates (no UL listing, but it's not sold in the U.S. so they
don't need that).
The principle of operation:
--------------------------
It's a heating system which is entirely electrically based, and makes
maximal use of the energy available through electrolysis.
In short, instead of running a current through a wire to make it hot,
they run the current through water to heat it directly. This is far
more efficient, because, while electrons in wires travel at only 47
kps, the electrons in the water
Bable fish did a really poor job of translating, I'm not at all clear
about how this thing works, what is that black thing that looks like a
rotor?
