hold up in service, then more money needed to sell liscenses and finally
more money needed to make money. Everything screams the idea is great.

the poor Finn get started. Thats the way business works in the real world.
I have a rubber band motor that will be a winner.. Lets see... Frost and
Sullivan may be the people to contact. They are hand holders for a fee.

I must admit - I'm more than a bit suspicious of consultants like
Frost and Sullivan, too. Pilkington Brothers got no less than four
sets of consultants to approve their launch of Glass-Reinforced
Cement. I said PB were mad and that GRC would fail when the strain
capacity ran out at 5 years. Somewhat to my surprise and enormous
schadenfreude GRC failed right on time. 8-)

Expert testimony can not be relied on. There are way too many examples of
expert testimony being fraudulent due to monetary or other interests to rely
on such "proofs", unless the proof is overwhelming and verified in many
quarters. Certainly one expert claiming a technology works as promised is
not suitable verification. Seen any Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq
lately? The "experts" told us they were there, and the nation went to war
over it, but amazingly all those "experts" were dead wrong.
I'll have to read up on this company and technology. The claims of capacity
are so great, that a natural amount of skepticism is very warranted. If
they can produce such an aluminum battery, I would assume that it would not
be very expensive, since aluminum is rather cheap. We'll see if anything
comes of this.
