Hi,

OK, you all have a point, I cannot just close and stop.
At this stage, and of i nterest for marine-applications we test-run a 12 KVA genset, either on air only; whereby compressed air can easily be produced from power-overproduction by other onboard equipment.
Second option, listen and read carefully will be via naturally aspired air, compressed by the engine's compressor pistons (opposite the working pistons and on the same rod), then heated by an external burner (compare this to a gas-boiler) using ANY form of fuel at a rate of 0.3-0.4 liters per hour, and fed into the expansion chamber to drive the engine.
A major yachting magazine recently sent his editor to survey and ask the appropriate questions to the inventor.
An article may be expected around March-April.
Maybe this will explain better than I do.

Licences (build and market) for the marine applications of the genset range will be negociated in tune with the major yachting centres: USA-Carib / Med / Australasia.

Important for onboard use of this technology is that no exhaust is needed (we only exhaust air) and that no further marinisation is required (we have no cooling or other sensitive ancillaries).
The 12 KVA is a drop in box of 65 kgs - 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.6 metres approx.

If questions remain, and from former reactions I guess so, please put them in simple terms, I am NOT an engineer.
