Why mess with such complexity? Just put a stupid frikn supercap in there, and measure the voltage. Here, I have five different kinds in a box here. Two minutes work.

In an area were scams were rare, that would work fine. In FE business, Steorn is a guilty scammer until they prove their innocence through obvious and continuing honest behavior. > For now, I think a D cell is not a big issue.

That poor job... since we're dealing with a scammer-ridden topic area, we should consider whether it's really carefully-crafted to appear like a poor job. Frankly, if Steorn was a major user of vortex-L, I'd have thrown them off after seeing enough of the fuzzy smokescreen behavior. They're behaving very much like "Doctor Stiffler": no very obvious dishonesty, but a huge glaring lack of honesty. (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.
