Gents my reasoning is this,
I wouldn't want that much heat! Thermal output*** too high

Genlec A4 Kingston
Engine Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)
using steam raising primary HX
Main Burner Dedicated pre-mix
Generator Permanent magnet asynchronous, 1.1kW nominal
Installation Type Wall hung room sealed appliance
Electrical Supply 230 VAC 50 Hz (Nominal grid voltage)
ELECTRICAL OUTPUT
Nominal Mode up to 1000 W
THERMAL OUTPUT
Minimum 7.2kW condensing, 6.8kW non-condensing
Nominal Mode Fully modulating
Maximum 18.0kW condensing, 16.9kW non-condensing
POWER CONSUMPTION
Standby c.10W including boiler standby
Generating c.200W maximum, losses dependent
on power output
Points too much heat!,
permanent magnet generator potential in-use problems like whispergen,
Cannot be expected to modulate like Bluegen, as it has to lose heat, in order to power up in a stop start situation.
Bluegen:

BlueGen fuel cell generator
Performance
Electrical output 0.5–1.5 kW
Peak electrical efficiency 60% (at 1.5 kW)
Thermal output 0.3– 0.54 kW
Thermal efficiency up to 25%
Total efficiency 85%
=> Thermal output at max power output Bluegen 30 Times lower than Genlec
Crikey efficiency wise its a cooker , CHP more HEAT than power.... IMHO
and don't forget E.on UK needs to order 100,000 by the end of 2012.....

And Energetix went up 36% on this, when the order turns up look out and hold on tight
