This technology has major applications for hydrogen energy. DME can be converted into Hydrogen at the source of demand using a lightweight portable system that can be outfitted on vehicles and generators. By storing & transporting DME, and then converting to hydrogen on demand, the hydrogen economy can immediately utilize the existing global fossil fuel infrastructure, rather then develop & scale alternative methods of transportation and distribution. Storing DME also circumvents the serious technical & safety challenges inherent in storing hydrogen gas.

If you're interested, please look at the technical summary website. There are so many advantages to this technology over our existing system that I just can't fit into a brief primer.
We have done laboratory tests, but in order to see real industrial adoption we need to do field demonstrations of the technology in action. We are looking for technically minded investors & industrial partners to help take this tech to the next stage.
Outer Wilds excels with creative planets full of adventure, while Riven is a slow paced affair that is impressively dedicated to creating an intricate world wordlessly.
Without written aids ala the logs in Outer Wilds, gleaning insights from disparate information in Riven often means scrawling down notes & looking for patterns.
While I highly reccomend Riven for fans of the structure of Outer Wilds, Riven is now a dated game that operates at a glacial pace. I played it recently at a time that I was taking a break from more modern games and I think that did wonders for helping me adjust to its conventions & pace. If you give it a shot know that it'll demand your patience before it'll absorb you into its world.

If I could offer you some pointers:
- Separate the Youtube account you use for this technology from the one you use personally.
- Specify in nontechnical language the advantage this tech has over similar fusion technologies. (still working on this myself)
- Seek peer review and then highlight that peer review directly on your website. My intuition is that most people or departments who are capable of funding a demonstration are not capable of validating the science behind your technology.
- I would recommend writing and attaching a succinct summary of your technology distinct from your patent, and devoid of the legalese and cruft that fills up a patent.
