Actually, if one reads the entire tome JR posted at http://inteligentry.com/report.html there are a couple of contingencies that must be met before demonstrations either live or via video:
1) There is the matter of "pending patents" which sets some sort of contingency that may block demonstration. It is unclear exactly what minimum condition must be met here but it could be (in JR's word) "years". 2) There is the matter of manufacturers desiring no release of information until they have met some sort of contingency. It is unclear exactly what minimum condition must be met here, too. JR's concluding statement: "*No real hurry really*."
