It's a very interesting development. It may be revolutionary. I've been watching it for a while now, a super efficient small fuel engine to drive generators for hydridized fuel-electric cars.
There are a number of engine and generator and battery concepts floating around that have potential. Reciprocal piston, aluminum-air, molten salts, various kinds of turbines, supercritical fluid generators, and MHD concepts.
The thing is, do we have enough of an economic and manufacturing base left to develop these ideas?
And can we develop them in a reasonable time frame?
We will probably see them developed in china.
