***Yikes, they’re already ahead
This will save Greece!
Do they have a working prototype?

If you do not understand why that is a meaningless statement then you should keep your money in the bank.
Maybe this is the “magic engine” described in Atlas Shrugged”
They could sure use a PR guy to do a decent press release.
I hope what they got is real, because this article doesn’t do much for their image - did somebody use babblefish?
"My hometown is Volos not welcomed me as I expected, unlike the blonde who greeted us as they should, "he said with meaning. "
Who says scientists can't score hot babes?
Cheers!
Have they built one that does anything yet, like generate a significant amount of electricity ?
Don’t send them any money yet.
Anyone who has spent any time engineering systems for the generation of electricity will recognize one immediate fallacy. The system supposedly generates “heat” which can then drive a third party electrical generation system such as a steam turbine. Ha ha. I will not even delve into the physics of the heat generation system, of which I am highly skeptical.
Anyone who simplistically says they will just hook up a steam turbine to generate electricity has no idea of all of the equipment required to make that happen. First of all, high temperatures are required to generate steam which is useful to run steam turbines. But, let’s assume that they can generate those high temperatures with their little black box.
The steam side would have to include: Water treating and storage. Deaerator. Boiler water chemical injection systems. High pressure boiler feedwater pumps. Boiler and superheater. Blowdown piping and drums. Expensive high pressure and high temperature piping. Relief valves and control systems. Condensing turbine. Condenser. (If a water cooled condenser, then a cooling water circulation system is required.) Condensate collection and polishing. Heat recovery exchangers.
On the electrical side, you would need a generator connected to the steam turbine, and electrical gear to regulate the system to provide the electricity at the required frequency.
A 1 MW system would not be economical. It’s too small. The operator and maintenance cost alone for such a low power (1 MW) system would make the electricity very expensive. The footprint of all of this equipment would be acres, not square feet. There’s a reason that power plants are built large.
Dealing with the Chicoms is the single most stupid move this group could make. Don’t they understand that China doesn’t invent anything, THEY ALWAYS STEAL IT!
