I watched the 2 videos and my impressions are as follows: 1. It seems like the design has undergone a lot of changes. The engineering appears to have improved based on what they've learned. I like the newest design of the suncell with a curved roof with a wash down water spray system. I think that was ingenious. My impression that BLP is a serious company really trying to solve a problem
2. I thought it was foolish for Randy to be revealing too much details about how his devices work. He seems to have revealed everything. Now, a chinese company with no respect for patent law can easily replicate his design and flood the market. Good for us, but bad for him. 3. I get the impression that they are really very close to commercialization. The problems he talked about are relatively simple engineering problems that can be solved relatively quickly. I feel 16-18 weeks is a reasonable target for a prototype. 4. The markets will be shaken when Randy releases a working prototype that closes the loop. It will be truly revolutionary and it will sell like pancakes. A 1mx1mx1m device that can produce 250kw. That would be awesome and I'll be one of the first in line. The DOD will be running a stampede to Randy's door for his devices. He'll not be able to make enough to supply all this sudden rush of demand. And if Randy delivers even just a fraction of his promised output, it will be truly revolutionary. I can't emphasize this enough. It will be the beginning of the death of Oil and this death will come rather quickly. 5. I don't get the sense that BLP is commiting some kind of fraud. On video 2, 3 of his partners endorsed Randy's work rather strongly. I get the sense that they have done their homework and believe in the technology and they are coming out strongly in support. 6. I don't get the sense that Randy was running a dog and pony show. He seems quite open and straitforward and revealing some of his secrets. I don't get the sense that his listeners were gullible people who are easily duped. They appear to be fairly intelligent and trained folks. I don't agree with Jones' impressions that these people with simple-minded investors and easily fooled by Randy. 7. I think we may have a winner here. This technology will run circles around Rossi's hotcat. If they can build this prototype and clearly closes the loop, it will be goodbye - strike out for Rossi's hotcat. The hotcat will never be able to compete with the suncell, in any application. The hotcat requires a lot of capex infrastructure to generate electricity. The suncell delivers electricity right of the box at a small form factor. 8. It will also spell the end to my wave-powered project. It won't make any sense to invest in wave power when such a cheap device as the suncell exist. Jojo
