re: “They tend to melt down their experimental projects.”
I know ALL about it. I wasn’t born yesterday. They have gone ‘black’. I was following them quite closely. I don’t know what your technical capability is regarding reading ‘white papers’, but, Dr. Mills has been quite open with his IP once it’s locked-in via patent grant ...
That is so true. I have been interested in alternative energy technology from the time I was a child in the 1960s. My class took a field trip to the Science Center in Seattle and they had a stationary bicycle hooked up to a generator and the harder you pedaled the more headlights you lit up. It sparked my imagination and not too many years later I had already built several versions of my own which were all more capable and efficient than the one at the Science Center.
The biggest problem these days is that the entire field of alternative energy is completely dominated by people who are scam artists at heart. They completely crowd out any true innovators and innovations. It is actually stunting actual progress from the grass roots to major corporations. And even the actual innovators use the global warming scam as a crutch. The true measure of any new energy technology should always be how well it compares to existing sources without any projected advantages to a completely non-existent problem.
An experiment on September 17 ran for a limited duration to prevent heat related damage to a transparent quartz or borosilicate glass container.

Yikes!
Maybe the researchers who are profiled in the article are on to something. Alternative energy sources are slow to develop because the physics are on the side of current technologies. The energy density of chemical ( fossil) fuels delivers more energy, more reliably and over a continuous duty cycle for less money.
For “renewable” energy to become a practical alternative to the established base the physics are going to have to change.

Only amoron would fly in an electric powered plane.
You are completely correct, an “85 kWh” Tesla battery weighs over 1200 pounds contains 7,104 lithium-ion battery cells in 16 modules wired in series, costs as much to produce as some complete new cars and stores considerably less usable energy than 3 gallons of gasoline.
24m? 3m times 8? Manchuria manufacturing and Mining and media manipulation and Maoist machine mmmmm... I give up.
“don’t...produce direct climate emissions”
We won’t mention the indirect ones. Out of sight, out of mind.
This is the mullet of hair-brained schemes. Pass.
