I meant to say: LENR will be built into things like cars and space heaters, BY the companies that manufacture these things. It will take years for that to happen, just as it did in automobiles. There will likely be trades secrets in LENR which prohibit this at first. I mean with in-house expertise, and in-house production lines. LENR will be tightly integrated into the design of the machines. Eventually, after many years - but not at first. Not something you can add-on from an outside vendor. Nonsense. The main reason to integrate is simply to control supply. Often the company is better off, cost-wise, buying the engines from a specialist in engines. No major car manufacturer would buy engines from a vendor. Complete nonsense. This happens all the time. Toyota makes many engines for Chevy. 100% of several Volvo models are made by Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi specializes in making both engines and the whole car for other companies. Many Jaguar engines were built by Ford. Rolls-Royce did not make their own engines for 20 years. BMW supplied the engines and other components for Rolls and Bentley - prior to Volkswagen buying the company (years later, VW sold Rolls to BMW). Aston Martin buys all their engines, etc, etc. There is no independent factory out there churning out Toyota Prius hybrid engines. Whoa. As a matter of fact there is a Toyota engine plant not far from Atlanta that ships to GM. It is owned by Toyota, but is independent from their assembly plants - and it ships engines to other companies (not the Prius drivetrain however) including the engine in the Chevrolet compact cars and Pontiac at one time, Lotus and other smaller makes. If this plant were making LENR engines, which is not out of the question, given Toyotas R&D - it would be able to ship them anywhere if there was demand and excess supply that Toyota could not absorb. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Motor_Manufacturing_Alabama Where did you come up with this disinformation about manufacturers not buying engines from competitors ? Happens all the time. Jones
