Am seriously interested in using direct fire for charging, had just heard about the gas process, and I can see how with a little fire skill and wrenching, this could be the upcountry answer to solar and wind, neither of which are enough for upland forest living! A few hours a day tending fire would be bearable, done right, it could be used for vehicle transport too! With HECO's refusal to even attempt to do anything about insane electric bills, an investment in this technology would be worth it!
At least for local transport, electric is somthing you could wrench yourself (unlike any Hybrid, or even the gas sipping cars, they're no longer owner friendly for repair, even basic). We need a good metal guy with an imagination, I'll be over soon, am definetly in the market!
I am in the process of getting rid of a classic, 1964 Pacific Catamaran! It's 8' abeam and 19'long, with a 23' foam filled aluminium mast! It's been sitting for a few years, but has good paint and is still solid! All glass decks, not tramps! Shot trailer!
I'm going to try albesia as interior paneling in our cabin in Royal Hawn!
