[VO]: Free Will Power
Howdy Vorts, This link was passed on to me for comment. I am unfamilar with the people that produce this website. They claim to invest in new energy research. There is no address given and no board of directors listed although they claim 501C3 listing. Perhaps Steve Krivit , editor of New Energy Time ( NET) knows of them.

They claim to be non-profit, yet the patents are used on a for-profit basis under the company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) : http://www.freewillpower.org/aboutus.html This means the employees (the founder/owner and buddies) get to take donations and yet keep all the goodies??? I'm confused ... I think ... no ... yes ... well, I'm always confused anyway. Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/
Re: [VO]: Free Will Power
Richard One of the people involved in this seems to be inventor and professional beggar- Sir Charles Shults of [EMAIL PROTECTED] fame. I do not mean the 'beggar' part in complete disrespect, however. He does have good ideas. Although not without controversy, due to his constant tin-cup routines in various guises and tireless self-promotion, Shults is keen in advocating one particular invention of interest for solar energy conversion - based on a large fresnel lens to flash hot water (from passive panels) into steam, which is meant to run a low pressure turbine. http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Charles_Shults'_Fresnel_Solar_Design In California, Shults sez this could save an average homeowner about $40,000 over the cost of solar panels to generate 6 kW of electricity, with hot water left over for winter heating! IF Shults' numbers were accurate, this is big news, as natural gas prices are 'through the roof' this year; but AFAIK this concept is not yet reduced to practice even as a working protoype. However, other commentators have downplayed the idea as too complicated for home-use and moreover: 'just an idea' which is too green to be useful without a lot of engineering and a corporate name behind it.

Re: [VO]: Free Will Power
In an obtuse way the web site reminds me of Dr. Greer's SEAS organization, which incidentally seems to have reincarnated into a new entity called, AERO - Advance Energy Research Organization. See: http://www.aero2012.com/en/index.html ...which I could not help but notice that the web address contains the year 2012 incorporated into to the URL, which immediately makes me wonder if they are planning a special party on that momentous date. ...which, if so, they might wish to pick up a few pointers from another organization known as the Raelians. For example, in UFO Magazine Issue #142, page 5, a letter to the Editor states: --- In your November 2007 (Vol. 22, No. 11) The Rael Dael article, it is said that The Elohim are supposed to appear on Earth sometime in the year 2012 AD. This is not correct. The Elohim only told Rael that they would return to Earth at the latest in 2035. The year 2012 has no special meaning to Raelians. --- ...which as best as I can tell the Raelians appear to be an interesting front for a swinger's club, with a few philosophical eccentricities thrown in for good measure. Ever get the feeling that there's a party being planned somewhere where your name is not on the invitation list? Mark you calendar. http://www.rael.org Oh dear, my mind's wandering... Where's the ritalin. I gotta get back to work... Oh! What an interesting picture of a turtle... Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
