@DanielSuarez This is impressive. I would have thought that managing the reaction products would have been too risky to commercialize. As a political aside and having worked in government research labs, people who criticize the money spent on primary research on peaceful technologies really do not understand that so many of the technologies we use went from pipe dream to "magic" to taken for granted, purely because of government R&D funding. I would expect that Aircela was a STTR (small business tech transfer) out of SNL. (I had that specific mention of peaceful technologies given my background in military labs. Nearly all my work was dual-use. There's a lot of money that goes into things that will benefit society, but there is a lot of money that goes into weapons systems too.)

@ascii158 @DanielSuarez burning this fuel in cars is completely inefficient and will always be expensive. You need these eFuels for airplanes, chemical and steel industries. It is a solution, but not for cars. There you can use the solar power directly with something like 95% efficiency from well to wheel. I mean solar panel to wheel.
