Sorry, Aero. Not buying. The FF MUST be cooled, recovery or no, or the electrodes will melt (remember them?). Recovery equipment is therefore an added cost, which must justify itself. In $$, which means recovered kwh’s from the waste heat at =<¼¢ each, and capital cost added at =<5¢/W. Good luck with that. If such technology existed, it would already be in use wherever low-grade waste heat is to be found. And there would be no market or need for Fofuz.
I spent years working in auditing and accounting. Costs must be allocated to the activity they support, or a financial statement is false, even fraudulent.
