As I said, chemistry is not my field. I would with it or did during my career, but running heat calculation estimates with a formula that takes the outside temperature in air and includes the outer area and from that gives you a time/MOH output is sometime that I used tables for and never had to do the calculations so I'm uncomfortable with it.
It's a calculation we electricians use to determine the maximum loading for wires in different environments and I probably could do it given time and the ability to make mistakes....or minor screwups until I got it right. So I might try it if I have time and there is enough info for me to plug into a formula. Not even sure where to find the formula I need but it's probably in one of my books. (been reading tables since I got out of school)
I really would like this project to bear fruit if it's economical. But I can't say it is over cheap nat gas, oil and of course nuclear. But if it works, and the chemicals needed are borderline efficient, it might be worth something. There would be a matter of emissions....I have sucked up enough nickel fumes to choke a horse and it's not good, but I can see possibilities in it vs the fuel cell tech which they cannot seem to get priced low enough to make widely usefull except for special purposes and they tend to be unstable at times.
So we will see.....But I see nothing yet but some sort of game of cat and proprietary mouse. and very little else.
