read the info. No way am I anywhere near the many kW of electrical need to run
a car directly. It also would require a very large heat dump.I am just going
for 2 to 10 Watts or so to trickel charge batteries for weeks for a 1 hour
drive. I am not in the proof or business mode. Just in the have fun mode.I
will leave it to Rossi and others to try for the kW or MW range. I am just not
there. Note however, it will be designed so that the Cf portion can
standalone or be used to charge the batteries. D2
