It was NOT meant as a personal comment... If you didn't invent it, then you don't have anything to concern yourself about... >From the Patent and design, my conclusion is that it's as phony as the EHF antenna... Serious charge or not, the so-called invention is BOGUS... in that there are no scientific facts to prove that the concept works... I seriously doubt that it does...
