I found a generator driven by a 4 cycle gasoline engine that puts out 5500 watts of AC for $648 US dollars(Lowes USA). This price includes everything you need except the gasoline. I understand that the LENR powered devices that we are looking at do not require refueling except for twice a year, but the cost of the bare unit gets my attention. A 4 cycle gas engine is pretty complicated and does the conversion of heat into rotary motion as a steam engine would. Why should we not expect the price of a comparable LENR device to be more in line with this? I understand that they deserve a portion of the fuel savings, but why try to take so much of the money? Maybe the ECAT type price will be more comparable to the generator I found when production numbers and competition kicks in. Dave

With 24/7 LENR primary heat ource and CHP with electricity generation at around 5 - 6 Ac kWs, who eeds to worry about grid tie?

Some of the new tie-in controllers tell you how much carbon you're not using. (!?) - Brad p.s. Aussie, or any other Vortex person.. The Nelson slides mention someone from Quantum Energy Technologies being at the Rossi demo... Do you know if this company is one and the same? http://www.quantumenergy.com.au/
