RE: just picking up this story Just picking this up hey. Well, I guess you have to review the research, notice that prototype tests are being done as we speak, and to look at what applicable options are available for the design. Generators, pumps, etc would be the first step.
As far as going into a vehicle, I suppose its a matter of contract with an automobile maker. One would start with hybrids, you would think, and go forward from there. With the compact design, you have to redesign a vehicle that would normally be situated with a larger engine, as the weight distribution will be off balance - this would make a vehicle prone to accidents. A hybrid has the heavy batteries, so the weight is still there.
It's been a few years, for myself watching, and however long the idea has been there. Go RadMax!
