Terry's perceptions are certainly not "clueless." Have you considered running for judge? Iverson chapped my ass popping in here with his statement on 1-16-10: "If you armchair skeptics spent as much time reading the Steorn forum or Overunity.com, as guessing and speculating and accusing here, you just might have a different opinion. " I don't know of many "armchair skeptics" on this list unless they are lurking. As for Sprain, he and I are still good friends. It was the company that owned his IP that had to be convinced. I do have permission to totally disclose the happenings; but, it has to be approved by the board of governors. It's actually a difficult story to write. One day. Mechanical energy calculations are tricky. It took me over a year to fully understand what is meant by the term torque. Would you believe that it doesn't actually exist? Anyway, thanks for clarifying things, Steven. I'll try to be less defensive in the future. T
