iam with you all the way,iam un egypt at the moment,maybe we could make a huge 40 feet prototype making 40KW to use as desalination unit,maybe turn the desert back into forests.

Because to get an explosion you need oxygen, hydrogen alone can't burn as like any fuel, and when it burns with oxygen they are transformed in water.

Open source the project!

If you don't get the funding you should open source the project.

Scientists are saying the solar storms headed our way in 2012-2013 could fry satellite solar panels,power lines & transformers.This is no Hollywood movie.This is what scientists are saying. NOVA also presented that the earth's magnetic field is & has been rapidly weakening. This field protects earth from solar debris & radiation so when these solar storms hit our shields will be down.Presently magnetic North is moving toward Russia at 40 miles per year.It seems the pole shift has begun

Is it true that a solar storm in magnitude such as the one that occurred in 1859 could cripple the electrical grid of the US?
As far as I know the electrical grid is comprised of multi-million dollar transformers that take years to fabricate and when a solar storm hits the large land masses on earth the "energy" effectively has to go somewhere. Because the transformers are grounded, they will absorb some of this energy which could potentially fry them.

I have a couple questions.
First, the 30kw you stated for the scaled version is that a monthly figure?
Second, its seems you are saying it operates around 50% efficiency (whats the exact figure?).
Third, would that efficiency increase or decrease when you scale it up?
Fourth, what is the operational life of the system and what kind of maintenance is needed? Its seems that that kind of temperature continuously focused on the cylinder would weaken the metal over time.

@SunGreenSolarEnergy Not that I have measured

nice metro in the background! if it was the xfi model you could be gettin 72 mpg! :D
There's been a lot of news recently about sunspots and solar flares. I was wondering if these have any effect on solar power systems? Do they create more electricity than normal during solar activity?

It seems that electronics should be shielded. I learned this in studying EMP blasts from above air nuclear blasts. The EMP wave fries all electronics within it's range. The military has developed specifically an EMP weapon avoiding the actual nuclear blast. Something very similar are homemade microwave weapons made from microwave ovens, when aimed at electronics the electronic device fails just like with EMP blasts but focused only on specific items.

Not all military vehicles are shielded against an EMP blast or against a microwave weapon but I suppose the most crucial vehicles are protected, so this is the secret to protecting circuitry against such a pulse of energy. At this point I am not sure what material to use but in an experiment I wanted to see why people joke about wearing an aluminum foil hat. What purpose would that serve?

So I took my tri-field meter, set it to the radio/microwave setting, turned on the household microwave and the signal reads 20 ft from the microwave. I then encased the entire microwave minus the vent in aluminum foil & no matter how close I got to the microwave there was not a single reading coming from the microwave. Aluminum foil blocks microwaves, communications & weapons use microwaves. Maybe aluminum foil protects circuits from similar energy pulses.

The solar panel itself is the most vulnerable as it must remain exposed to the sun but I do believe you can protect all the other circuitry. It all depends upon the intensity of the proton blast from the sun as to what it will penetrate such as the steel hood on your car, inside the metal or plastic box that contains the electronic brain of your car. Most cars prior to1970s would be less vulnerable but today's cars are extremely vulnerable depending upon blast intensity.

To answer your final question do solar flares create more electrical energy than normal solar activity.
Yes, normal solar activity is about 4 x 1018 Joules per year.
solar flares can release as much as 6 × 1025 joules of energy. Many electronics absorb this energy which is what overloads them. Electronics can be designed to shield from that but everything is based upon cost of production.
