According to the company's current business model, you will not be able to own one. But, you can have one for an installation price of $2,000.
I don't know how that business model will work for planes, trains, ships, and automobiles. They do have a model of one about the size of a large coffee maker, that I assume would replace the engine in a car.
And once the generation goes into the self-sustaining mode, what will a car do with all that energy when it is not being used. Possibly, you plug it into the local power grid? There are still challenges the company faces in achieving its goals.
While I am skeptical, it will be interesting to see how this develops.
One thing that stands out even without knowing the science behind it is the tremendous amount of heat this thing must put out and the little radiator with a couple dozen feet of copper tubing looks sketchy.
I do hope this gets inventors around the world thinking about how make cheap clean energy.
Sounds like a great power generator and heater for use in Antarctica.
The reason you do not want to shut it down, is because it needs energy to start the reaction and another boost of energy to kick it into self-sustaining mode.
In there business model, they did mention that one of the byproducts is heat. There are definitely some more challenges for them ahead, but that is what the field tests are for.
