From what I gather it is a penny stock company.
Problems:
1. Water corrosion in the steam loop.
2. 3,200 psi boiler feed pump
3. Boiler material
4. Multi fuels will require a change of fuel nozzles
5. Restricted size of the condenser - from the design the delta T across the condenser looks to be about the same as the delta T in the boiler.
6. All the regeneration schemes imply very tight mfg tolerances.
7. Thermal inertia maintains temp: burners turn on and off.
8. How crash worthy is it?
