Hi Frank, I take it you were convinced of CETI technology. Even if something works doesn't mean it will sell. I am fond of discounting the old adage of " make a better mousetrap and peopel will beat down your door" That's not true.. true is .. show me a person that can sell mousetraps and I can make anything  you can sell. CF is sitting on the runway with the engine getting cold. It will take somebody that can sell what they can make. The sale will be in the face of skeptics and opposition. Ironically,perhaps one of the biggest obstacles is other CF research. The researchers would rather fail than share what progress they have made. Funny the market is larger than all the brainpower. Another large obstacle is phoney baloney "black box" inventions that can always find a source of funding and a later IPO. This is happening in Nano and genome out the kazoo. Now some of these genome and nano chickens are coming home to roost. May be a few CF IPO's take a dive also. This should muddy up the water more.

Mallove and H. Fox published "We have liftoff!".   Nothing much happened.  No prototypes are on the market.  My optimism has faded, Something must be amiss.          Frank Znidarsic
