He learned all the energy production technology on the job. The total staff of the project until this month consisted of Okabayashi, Narida, Omija and an RSVP volunteer. Since entering the production phase, a welder has been hired and six people have entered the training program. We want to create jobs. Semiconductors are sandwiched within the tube then one side is heated and one side cooled.
Water passes through the tube, producing hot water, and the heat generates electricity.
The electricity can be used directly or stored in batteries. One unit produces approximately 200 watts therefore to produce one kilowatt, one would need five units of the tube, mirror and tracking device. Common household use is 2 to 3 kw. Okabayashi and Goldberger hope it will be completed in three to four months. We will expand the factory and sell tubes.
