Have you seen these advertized? It's supposed to be a personal reactor for single home use. It uses a reactive metal to create steam and power a generator. How much power could this thing possibly produce without filling a house with steam? And if it's recovering steam back into liquid, where is the heat going? Does it heat the room at the same time? How much heat? Could a guy like you toss one in the pool and turn it into a spa?

Maybe you're supposed to put it in the garage or a cement reinforced hole in the yard but it sure doesn't look that way. I have not found easy answers to these questions.

It looks promising. I need to see the app.

A few additional observations:
  • Smackaholic has already sent in his deposit
  • Now I remember why I hate Texas so much. No, Seater, it never really was about you.
  • The Chinese are putting these in their new Space Fighters. But you can expect an export ban in a couple of weeks unless the Trump Inauguration Committee gets a sudden anonymous “donation “ of about $100 million.

This thing is almost as cool as the space heaters that will heat an entire room from 50 to 70 degrees in 2 minutes that they've been pimping on youtube adds lately.

I'll bet it uses the Bernouli effect also.

How much juice does that thing use?

Wouldn’t be surprised if it also has one or more Frobenius manifolds.

Vegas odds on FiatLux having one surgically removed

-600 After "slipping in the shower."
-400 After a Jay-Z party

No surgery required.

It would just fall out.
