The size of the actual housing will be determined by what each application requires. Mobile 5MW micro factories could spark a lot of investors’ imaginations. Imagine if FEMA had had a dozen of them in time for Katrina, making juice, clean water, restoring communications, and providing emergency medical facilities? If not FEMA, how about the National Guard and UN?

I remember when only Star Fleet had flip phones, lol.

Now imagine a disaster movie or TV series with a disaster relief convoy- kind of like a wagon train… FF would instantly be on the map.

Each individual generator requires walk-around-space for servicing. I don’t know if the shells could be packed in closer together, but I doubt it would make much sense, for safety and operational reasons.

As for the wagon trains, hey, dramatic stuff will happen, but it’s not the road to acceptance and success. It’s the economics. Clean and quick helps, too.

Speaking of the money: your savings calculations require a base to compare the current costs to, as I mentioned. Even a line like, “Installed cost per Watt and output pricing will both be at most 1/20 of current normal market prices,” inserted before your numbers, would allow them to make sense.
