This is not what I meant: the research would need to consider which actors believe in this patent, the politics behind it and oil, gas etc. Here we deal with strategic foresight and warning for nat and int national security issues, not with promoting a technical project, however interesting it might be…

well if you read this patent and understand this can be done in a matter of months to change the world, released today, your parameters are the same time frame, from publication to completed construction of working units, similar principal only in megawatts using the planet. (already tested ) so say June next year 20th to be precise. same designer. this one is also already independently verified.

Much would depend upon when, how and where it happens. In other words without making a proper analysis we cannot give you an informed and useful answer :).
