There is no question in anybody’s mind that the primary cooling loop is required. The working fluid can be helium or possibly hydrogen. It’s cost is part of the system costs no matter whether the machine is sold as a heater, generator, or preferably both. Each of these design and marketing strategies will come as the installed system level technology matures. What I’m saying is that we’d better be at least aware of all of the technologies that can help the onion produce even more electricity.

Zap, the reason I keep coming back to how the also required secondary loop of the heat exchanger is going to dispose of the excess heat is that commercial heater, furnace, and low pressure boiler makers already design a very similar loop into their products which are already on the market. This type of product is what I was referring to as an existing heat sink- and we can specifically target the 8MWt class industrial heaters almost as soon as we’re over unity.

This paves the way for the PolyWell’s much larger heat dissipation requirements in what I call the multi-fusion world.

Now, for the accounting world, imagine being in the predictive history business. After all, none of us can guarantee that a fusion technology will be proven in our lifetimes- but for those who are willing to design businesses to cover this type of predictive bet go the spoils of truly adding value to the global economy. Creating wealth, much like Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, and Ford did around 100 years ago.

Precisely what the business world says they want to do as they fight over the diminishing markets of existing, proven, safe technologies, lol.
