That gives others a chance to mull over a posted thought before you jump in with your "Self-Taught" edicts and discourage further discussion. This is really curious for a salutary chuckle, if nothing else, Fred. I find it intensely amusing that someone who normally excels in occasionally brilliant but occasionally deficient speculations based on a partial understanding of the total physics behind certain phenomena (the ones he chooses to believe in), to suddenly act as if he expects a possible cutting-edge and certainly very novel concept, (which he chooses not to believe in), to somehow be presented to him with full experimental proof and fully vetted details, as if it came directly from an accredited University laboratory with a mega-million budget. Bizarre.... If I had the resources to do prove the concept or even to continue to the next level of experimentation, would I even be presenting it here in the hope that someone with the necessary resources who might find it compelling, an will pursue it? Yes, I think Horace in "following his bliss" on the free-energy scene, would benefit greatly from "ignoring highly speculative posts" ... but if he does choose to comment, instead of compounding his ignorance at the expense of our bliss, it would seem that he can accomplish much more by dispensing with the unwarranted level of negativism... especially negativism compounded by short-sightedness. Negativism based on a *clear understanding* of relevant issues can be helpful, but not based on personal and arbitrary standards that only apply to the ideas of others. BTW the cynical observer might even interpret this kind of behavior as a thinly disguised "not invented here" type of envy-negativism, no? Jones
