Default fun new engine

and dont forget the "always having hot water to brew Tea with"


If that system really works as proposed (including the mentioned

efficiency
increase) and they are able to secure patents worldwide then they will be
able to give all makers of outboarders & marine engines a very hard time!
And of course they will ensure that no plans for their engine are publicly
available so that anybody cheating on their patents has to do his own
research. But if you get an original engine to examine it should be not

too
hard to build your own.

The advantages are numerous:
Just think about having no heavy outboarder any more. It should be

possible
to just have the lightweight jet part hanging of the transom and the heavy
boiler part may be located in the center of the boat.
Fuel and boiler may also be used for cabin & water heating as well,

probably
also for a cooling system like the gas-powered camping fridges.
It should be possible to have boilers working with different fuel types
(just about everything that burns).
And it looks like the jet engine has very few moving parts and so
maintenance requirements should be very low. And that system should last
much longer than the average outboarder (if they get the corrosion problem
sorted out).

Without the outboarder you will need more solar power for the eGimmicks.

Time will show...
