Looks aspirational to me. 1Mw electricity at 30-100% efficiency (100??) and 1.9 Mw heat via air in the volume of a shipping container? That's moving a lot of air. And I'd want fail safe, passive control "rods" (what happens if the helium leaks out and the heat isn't being removed) before I'd sleep easy with one in my back yard.
- gregbot 1y agoThis type of fuel basically cant melt so with no helium it would just heat up and natural convection would cool it.
- Peteragain 1y agoAnd everything around it? It is quite a challenge to design something that can do that.
- gregbot 1y agoYes. The fuel gets much hotter than the container
