In my days research I came by this little tid bit.

Is it me, or is the speed at which technology is advancing increasing exponentially?

Confess. You had to check the spelling on that. :mrgreen:

It is cool - so when do we get to use it?

Interesting. I wonder what benefit it gives over solar panels. The test output was 32 watts, and they claim it should get over 100. A $400 22"x48" solar panel can produce 85 watts. They both use light, except a solar panel uses the photons to knock loose electrons to create a charge. Here they are using light generated heat and converting that somehow. At nearly 2000K, I wouldn't want to go anywhere near that thing.

Are you serious? Math was my strongest subject. I know all the words used in math.

Depends who I'm eating dinner with.

Or what's on the plate.
