For $12K I could buy enough solar panels to outproduce that thing and
pay $0.00 running costs for fuel.

Some of my guys built a small genset a couple years ago to deploy on
Heard Is. It used a tiny Honda weed-wacker type powerhead driving a PM
generator. Cost even with Govt R&D accounting a fraction of this
thing.

Reminds me of a salesman who tried to sell me a 600W 12V microwave for
some ungodly price. I did a quick mental calculation & pointed out I
could buy a $100 microwave and a 1Kv inverter to run it for less than
half his price, so who but an idiot would buy one?

This thing falls into the same category.

Look at it from the prespective of A-H produced
per gal of fuel. Then balance that against the
benefit of quiet power and it's versatility as a
heat source for hot water. I think it is a winner.

BTW. There are no libricants and only easy to
replace seals.

The big question is the lifespan of the unit. If it
last far longer than a genset per A-H produced
then I'm sure it will have a broader appeal.

Longevity is the question I'd want to ask, and I
have not gotten a straight answer to that one.

More like *at least* $11K too much. Who in their right mind would pay
that much for that little?
