actually, if anyone is interested, i did get replies from not only tom
henderson @ the company but also a guy named alex with an installed
tropikool system currently in panama. he is actually heading around
the world and has a web site and some sort of arrangement with pbs.
rather personable and the web site is worth a look-see.

i've posted the email posts and replies on the following link.

Interesting. Nice quacky responses, all the way from vague to incredible.
Read that "25 year" claim carefully, and see if you can spot the
backhandedness that makes it meaningless, the antithesis of a direct,
engineering type of answer.

You should ask Henderson how many BTUs (or the metric equivalent) you get
pumped for your amp-hours of "current".

well, you know, kinch, he isn't actually talking to an engineer. what
say you email him and politely ask him, one engineer to another, what
the btu per amp ratio is?

let us know what the response is.

And you ask him for a testimonial, and he brags about having tons of
customers, but then he can only point you to someone incommunicado on a
boat out at sea.

Geez, you're a real peach! alex isn't exactly incommunicado. he has a
constantly updated web page with photo documentation of his actual
progress plus his endeavor is linked to the public broadcasting service
(probably some sort of support in return for some amount of
journalism). email's were returned promptly with the information
requested (in laymans terms. i can see where this would bother you).

i guess what it boils down to is that i am just exploring an
interesting system that i have come across unlike you who seems to be
on some sort of crusade.

best of luck to ya
