Plus they are close to using graphene, which they say is far superior to other conductible substances and as Aus scientists have created graphene from veggie oil using standard conditions, another revolution may be just round the corner.

They are already using black salt in the same way, along with sterling engines to drive the generators, rather than steam. Might need a good size trailer to tow your silicone or salt bank around with temps over 1400degC, might stick with lifepo4.

Have read there is talk of banning li-ion packs like telsa from inside buildings, because of their habit of exploding or catching fire. Another reason to stick with lifepo4.

Bought a 5kw A/C inverter for my house to run it on lifepo4 and have yet to use it, not hot enough down here in Tas, luckily.

Here you go Bruce, bought 2 of these and have tested both in the bus and house. Quickly cooled the bus down, but didn't run long enough to get any specific data. Have to wait for some hot days, which so far, have luckily we missed.

They are gassed, but no pipes, though they can provide you with the pipes if you want. I installed them and got a local A/C bloke to hook them up and gas them, didn't cost much for both and took him about an hour to do both.

When looking for A/C/s, asked a friend who has a Domain in their house and they were very happy with it. They live on the far Sth coast of NSW so use it quite a bit, other than that, no other knowledge about them.
