Honorable critics of Steorn's claims [not the debunkers] should not let this issue get sidelined. Force Steorn to respond to the current official explanation, which I gather is something to the effect that using a capacitor would have resulted in too slow of a response time. I suspect Steorn will eventually be forced to respond with something to the effect of ... It's not as simple as that, whatever that might mean. But who knows. Maybe it ISN'T as simple as that. But then I'm hopelessly overoptimistic. IOW, I'm naive. ;-) Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
