For those poo pooing this ... I am wondering if any of you can tell us here if you have better expertise than this...

"Alf Andreassen, a venture capitalist with the Paladin Capital Group and a former Bell Laboratories director."

I would like to believe your criticism however I know the people that work at Bell labs and I would imagine one would not become director of Bell Labs by moving up from Fry cook. Sometimes people do create amazing things that work even when you do not believe them.

I also seem to recall a quote (can't remember the exact source) of Wilber Write declaring that secrets of powered flight were unlikely to be discovered within his lifetime. A couple of years later they were taking turns piloting the Write Flyer. Even in the weeks and months after their success, there were still a lot of people in the media claiming that it was a scam. The only thing that shut them up was when people actually started buying and flying the damn things.
