Re: [Vo]:My essay "Buying the E-cat in the sack?"

HARD CURRENCY ENERGY- how the thermal energy of the active core can be converted in electric energy in an economical way?

I don't think that's going to (or needs to) happen any time soon --- it only delivers 500C (limited by the nickel powder degrading?) at 50 bar.
Electrical conversion efficiency at that level is less than 20% (??) -- times the 6x factor is barely over unity.

Hot water + heating is a BIG market.  Let the nukes, solar, wind  & fossil fuels supply the electric grid for a few more decades.
