They put on a little lecture in our building to supposedly explain their technology. I was too busy to attend, but my colleagues who did attend came back shaking their heads. The one who was my best friend there (and who had a PhD in thermodynamics) said "They couldn't even keep their units of measurement straight!" To him, that alone was a sure sign the kids were blowing smoke. And sure enough, after getting a few hundred thousand dollars from local people with more money than... well, than physics knowledge, the dudes left town and probably left the country. And your entire company didn't even know the laws of thermodynamics? ??? What a massive non sequitur! "My entire company" was the College of Engineering and Technology. And we did (and do) know the laws of thermodynamics, including the guy I mentioned with the PhD in thermo. Which is how we knew the dudes were scam artists. You're a strange one. -- - Frank Krygowski Maybe he's just trolling? Well, there is that... -- - Frank Krygowski |

The latter are stored away in case I ever sell the bike but at this point it's probably scrap value although it still rides fine. nate |

See you on r.a.t. later? -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 Hah... maybe. I have had a lot of, um, life challenges the past few years. I was retrieving some of my tools from my storage locker so hopefully I can fix my car so that it'll stop throwing a CEL. Stopped to pick up some Metro shelving off Craigslist to organize said tools and seller was trueing a wheel off an old Trek MTB in his driveway so we of course ended up chatting I almost grabbed my trueing stand and would have had it in the back of the Heep if I had, but I didn't. I was actually searching here to see if I could determine if the old SON dynohub I have stashed away was 32 or 36 hole but I guess that will wait until I find that box. I was going to pass it onto him if he could use it because I don't need it. Sadly, I haven't done any kind of real car work other than maintenance in close to 10 years. Same for bikes, my Trek 620 build was the last "real work" I've done. nate |
