La Ley, I have been Wayne's Model Maker since 1987, I know a lot about how he thinks.
I'll answer your questions.
1. The heat engine is an external combustion device, it should use much less fuel because it captures more than 90% of the reaction heat to turn it into energy. There is no time limit for the burn reaction cycle to complete. Pre-1919 corn alcohol has no carbon pollutants, therefore it is clean burning. This fuel would be use as necessary to fill in energy needs when necessary. The device accumulates heat using the heat supply as it requires. This reduces fuel usage as virtually no heat is wasted.
2. In his third world power design efforts, Wayne came up with a linear solar tracking system based on his heat cells, under test, the device followed the sun through all twists and turns, we drove in a circle and a figure 8 to test the angle controls, the full sun acquisition during all that time was 94% The device works by sensing the intensity changes across the surface of the lens. This device would work in the city much better than solar cells.
3. The solar Lens is constructed of LEXAN, the same material used for protection widows in banks & exchanges, service stations etc.
4. The energy path is direct.
5. The Generator is an electronically controlled dynamo.
6. The concrete utilized advances by a company named Enviroseal, located in Florida. Since the mono-card are about autoimobilr size, the weigh much less than normal mono-rail cars. Wayne monorail is about seven feet above the ground. The concrete is plasticized. Which reduces the effect of impacts on the concrete, therefore extending it's service life.
