    Ford putting down electric?

    Big surprise, the Ford guy says it's not applicable and goes out of his way to make it look like a toy calling it suitable for Ray guns.

    As far as this working or not working I'll leave that up to the Engineers and scientists. Moskolov's post doesn't mention the increased permitivity due to purity of materials.

    I couldn't invest if I wanted to so I'm not losing any money letting them try and hoping they succeed.

    I note this compnay is from Texas. 

    If they work out of a small building south of Waco it would not surprise me.  In the 70's a company in that location bilked investors out of millions with their "Perpeutal Motion" machine which they proudly demonstrated to investors and the media.  They were busted when someone finally uncovered the hidden wires which were hooked to the local electric company and provided the "Perpetual" motion.

    The free lunch is always tomorrow.

      Too much speculation and no experience. This, as with all ground breaking ideas, needs the space to breath before it gets shot down. In our society, new innovations that "break" the rules are often judged before they can be released and tested. This one sounds great and should be tested on its merits (and will be) once the product is available to the general public. A little bit of knowledge does not an expert make. I can't wait to see what happens next.

        I completely agree, of course any time someone NOT affiliated to big business has a daring new idea or concept, he is going to be 'squashed' after of course having had the idea or concept completely stolen right from under their noses IF POSSIBLE - there is major money at stake in the race for new energy sources, and we will all be the better off if we let the wild ideas unfold !!!
        go at it boys (or girls who knows! ) - I'm waiting with bated breath and watching that space !!

      Doubt it helps much, but I'm definitely cheering for these guys. What a game changer!! Since the article makes no mention of them looking for outside money, it doesn't sound like a bilking attempt. Unless by some e-car company investors using this to artificially boost the perceived viability of that business long enough to get out ahead. Lots of grassy knolls in Texas....

    Get an editor!

    San Antonio is not spelled San Antonia.
    Dielectric is not spelled dialectric.

    etc.
