The problem is that these conversion systems are a bit pricey.  Certainly 
the systems
exist and people are using them today.

But to make them accessible to the people who need them the worst (those who
are not as affluent as T. Boone Pickens, for example), the pricing has to 
come down.

Will people try to home-brew systems?  Most likely, and some of the problems 
are
obvious.
