Sure would be a good option if solar storms take out the grid, no?

Witamy pomysł jest dobry potrzeba czasu żeby to wszystko zgrać – benzyna czy olej opałowy, to się kłuci z ekologią samochody agregaty elektrownie węglowe, to nie pozwoli nam iść w stronę dobrego klimatu, nigdy nie uda się nam dojście do ochrony klimatu, powiecie Krytyką nie na problemu, więc jak ten pomysł rozwiązać. Powie ktoś marzenia nowe źródła energetyczne i tu widzimy jaskółkę Urządzenia w piwnicy 20 kw niekorzystające z gazu czy ropy czy benzyny ich praca, cicha zasili dom i nadmiar do miejskiej sieci energetycznej, to jest wizja rozwiązania tematu czy daleka powiemy, że wyłania się nam z popiołów to, co będzie nas grzało i dawało energię do sieci to samo będzie napędzać nasze samochody elektryczne o niesamowitym zasięgu, da nam energii nadmiarze, wszyscy powiecie ta wizja jest nie realna marzenia grupy Jurgena. To od was zależy, kiedy ją wszyscy chcemy musimy się zmienić, ale wszyscy ci, co są blisko ropy gazu czy kasy powiemy to kilka miesięcy do wyjaśnienia sobie czy świat zacznie się zmieniać, gdy dostanie nową energię

I think this is fantastic concept, and should also be developed to run off of wood pellets. I’d like to see life-cycle analysis of wood pellets compared to biogas to power these thermal units. Austria is already leader in pellet central furnaces that provide domestic hot water and heat – but not electricity.

–A commentor who has no actual comment on the story!– Bring it on mate!!

Have you read about truck stop plug-in sites being installed across the US? So resting truck drivers can turn off their engines instead of running them for hours just to power their AC systems. At idle the Diesel runs at all of 3% energy efficiency (emissions = energy LOL) and now local residents can get some piece and quite (noise = energy LOL)

A nuclear bomb = energy…. what is your point??

This VW system is meant to be based in residential areas. I don’t see any mention of it being intended for areas only zoned for industrial levels of noise. Having just returned from an event where diesel gen sets ran 24 hours a day to provide lighting… I am well aware of the noise and vibration they make, even when insulated from the ground by tires.

Even a small 2 hp air compressor can generate significant disturbance in a quiet residential neighborhood, and they only make noise, they don’t pump out noxious fumes!

The ‘green’ movement is meant to be getting away from ICEs not finding new ways for auto manufacturers to sell more of them!
