OK, it seems that the the total price should be lower than the sum, and even than the gas version alone.
today 2 things (beside the scam hypothesis, p=0.001) can block development of such solution. - the first is the fear of radiation, in case of abnormal unpredictable black swan event. (precaution principle is the craziness of todays) -> my 2cents idea is that Defkalion/Leonardo could add a geiger counter that shut-down th system quickly (vent the H...) in case of abnormal emission. a kind of anti-ghost system. - the second, much more serious, is the safety measure for H. but H is typically used by industrial and expensive applications. so the procedures are paranoid. -> maybe one should rather try to manage H like natural gas is managed, with strong but simple regulation. -> maybe H+O2 catalyst on safety valves could be uses to (slowly) destroy H when there is a venting incident , to avoid accumulation at home. -> also propose to retrofit existing chimneys as venting safety evacuation, so existing gaz/oil heaters can be replaced easily... even propose to include an emergency burner (with catalyst?), connected to the chimney. another weaker problem is the reaction of the electric grid company. will they accept to pay for electricity. in france they have delayed as much as possible not to, however there was also subsidized prices, so I don't know what was the trouble. how also the green will react to that, and how will they tray to block the acceptance and subsidies by the grid. technically also how will the grid manage the incoming power, trying or not to control it. 2011/12/2 Robert Lynn <[email protected]> > No stirling is not cheap - yet, but it is mostly a matter of large volume > production.
