so are you saying that small self running devices are not useful as proof? This seems at odds with what you told me. DennisDate: Tue, 5 Mar 2013 18:13:44 -0500 Subject: Re: [Vo]:Miley Arpa-E startup project reloaded! vote for for 10 days.. hurry up From: jedrothw...@gmail.com To: vortex-l

I agree 100% Terry..the best way -by far- to convince the majority of skeptics is a self-running machine. Maybe the only way. There are tons of calorimetry data already at the watt and subwatt level. We need some drama at this stage. A self-runner should be high on the list. Speaking

But this is not a demonstrated device. It is a drawing of what Miley would like to see work. I could provide a drawing also, but where would I get the fuel? The fuel is the problem. Once a fuel that makes a lot of heat for long periods is available, the engineering design will follow. This
