Before we all sing and dance, I think we still have a serious technology issue with the AOT. At Keystone the power supply wasn't powerful enough to provide the field strength necessary to reduce viscosity at a level seen in the lab. When the power was increased the oil would then act as a conductor and the system would short out. This impedance problem was seen at Keystone and also at KM. At Keystone they tried to explain it away by saying conducting materials were attracted to and accumulated at the power grids. Nothing was said about whether this was solved at Keystone and apparently it wasn't solved because again it became a problem at the Kinder site.

It was then postulated that a vertical configuration might solve the problem. It didn't.

So here's the issue. How do apply enough electric field to reduce viscosity without the oil becoming a conductor and shorting out the system.

Sounds like a big hurdle to me.

Instead of adding DRA to the oil does an insulating compound need to be added?
