What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Too early to adopt

Why
A credible decade-long academic effort with a working ~100 W sea-tested prototype, but it sits at TRL ~5-6 with a ~10,000x gap to its own headline target, tiny funding, and no recent public progress — a research curiosity, not an adoptable technology.
Next
Search for any peer-reviewed performance data or a kW/MW-class follow-on (e.g., Sindhuja-II or a grid-connected array) with a published capacity factor before reassessing.
