It does make perfect sense from a scientific and an entrepreneurial standpoint if you want this done right.
Get an idea of the market need for your product. Get your team and your funding together.
Get the individual pieces working correctly.
Make them efficient.
Make sure they're stable and will last.
We saw this with pursuing the voltage increases and the long term (1000 hours?) stability of the particles.
Get a system of these pieces together.
Make them efficient.
Make sure they're stable and will last.
We're seeing this now by looking to make dense sheets of these particles.
The next steps, not necessarily in this order, in my opinion:
- Look to keep the stability of these sheets up to par with that of the individual particles.
- Investigate the maintenance necessary to keep these sheets that way, if at all possible. How do we keep the the hydrogen produced from mixing with the oxygen with multiple sheets? Where does the waste go from the waste water? Can the sheet be made of smaller pieces that can be replaced individually?
- Build a commercial prototype, an MVP if you will, and use this to pursue and increase funding. <-- this is where I know we all want to be.
- Confirm the safety of the product. This will be a big issue with hydrogen.
- Build the functional, working, commercial product.
- Investigate the options for our end game. Licensing? Distribution? Installation? Maintenance? Do we build this for individual homes? Stations? Would the efficiency and safety allow it to be installed right into a car and we can sell them to dealers?
I have likely missed a number of other steps but the point is that there are a lot of things that can and/or need to be done. This is no quick business, it's a completely new field and it needs it's own due diligence.
