Where is Brillouin Energy Corporation now in their development?
Godes describes that Brillouin has put together “a plan that will allow us to build ten more reactors to test cores that we are developing. We have many cores in CAD (computer-aided drafting) in our computer system. We don’t have the money to build and test those cores. Within 18 to 24 months the current target product is a boiler capable of producing 104 kilowatts (kW) of thermal energy.”
Why would he do that? “That 104 kW will come out in the form of 400°C oil and we are doing that because it keeps the system at atmospheric pressure,” he explains. “This simplifies things because you don’t need a pressure vessel to produce it. The oil will flow through a Stirling engine that will produce around 20 kW of electricity. A portion of that electricity will be used to run the pumps in the drive system for the unit as well as to drive an absorption chiller. So the customer will wind up with about 10 kW of electricity and close to two tons of cooling.”

Robert Godes’ vision is an encouraging one. He responds, “Modern Stirling engines have come a long way and some of my engineers are working on other technologies that will further enhance Stirling energy technologies. Assuming a 20 year life cycle for the Stirling engine, producing the electricity with this system comes out to about six cents per kilowatt hour. The fuel costs are next to nil. As the technology is scaled to large plants the cost will drop significantly.” He smiles.
Beside the company and it's project and achievements, personality and life of Robert Godes is also described.
I share with Robert Godes the fact that I missed 1989 story and discovered cold fusion in 1992, through emerging Internet... No surprise he was interested as evidences were clear at that time, that there was something interesting...
there is some discussion about tritium evidence by Claytor, and to more recent evidences of tritium generation, that he consider of evidence of his theory.
Tritium is very good evidence as the background is very low on earth.
