For those, like Jed, who have watched the unfolding of the BLP/Rossi/Defkalion saga... some of it having gone on now for 20 years or more, it is understandable that many of them express doubt and frustration. Perhaps cynicism is an even better description to use here.
Personally, I see incremental progress, but I freely admit the possibility that I might be looking through rose tinted glasses. (Wishful thinking on my part.) I am left the the feeling that all of the above mentioned organizations have been working with a mysterious technology that nobody really understands for which they hope can soon be exploited in the form of a popular commercial product... something akin to what Mr. Carrell recently mentioned - like a water heater sold at Sears. Obviously, nothing of the sort is even close to rolling off the assembly line at any of these organizations. Actually, BLP is more of a licensing company as compared to a manufacturing facility, so they would never develop a commercial product - just the rights to use the technology. Lately, it would seem to be BLP's turn to once again step up to the podium and make some bold claims... something akin to revealing a 100 watt prototype - soon. Later, I gather BLP claims they hope to assemble a kilowatt prototype for public scrutiny, perhaps sometime before the end of 2013... or was that 2014. Meanwhile, it is understandable that many cynical old-timers are prone to categorically state the fact that similar predictions have been made before. Indeed, they have. So, Is there really anything truly different this time around? Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
