Blaze--Bob here-- If you follow Rossi's blog, he has already considered the potential of Sterling engines. I agree with Bob Higgins that small is not bad. I could use one in my off-grid home in Alaska. Even a small thermo-electric device hooked to the NANOR would be useful.

I wonder how much heat energy you need to run these, though perhaps they could be optimized for a Nanor device.

I spoke with Mitchell about this on the bus at ICCF-18. I believe small is beautiful and I have a perfect application. Today 2-way public safety radios use lithium batteries that only work to about -10C, but the radio electronics are qualified to -40C. It is entirely plausible to use a NANOR as an efficient way to keep the portable lithium battery warm when the ambient temperature is below -5C. If he can make the NANORs repeatably and operate them in optimum COP with a small uC, that could well be the first LENR device to make it to market. Having a shipping product inside another product is a sure track to a device patent. This could be the finger removed from the dike.

However, such a small effect is not a credible support for investment in a working devoice. I did not make this clear. I hope it is clear now. If Swartz supplies devices that survive testing, this would be useful to basic research but not to a development study. My point is that we need emphasis placed on basic research. Ed Storms
