No, those were failed ventures. He succeeded with bio-fuel powered Diesel engines. Most successful entrepreneurs such as Rossi or Jobs fail more often than they succeed. Jobs went through a whole batch of bad ideas such as the Lisa computer and the NeXT computer. Edison also spent years of his life and much of his money on failed ventures such as magnetic ore separation. - Jed
