   One of the main reasons I think this may not be a con is that I cannot   
   see any way that he has made any money by selling to investors or anyone   
   else....it appears he has done everything with his own money...and is   
   accepting no money from anyone else....   
      
   His whole plan seems to be to get a device into production....and make   
   all his money from selling them at the least expensive cost he   
   can....making all his money from volume sold...   
      
   A number of people feel it is a scam because he has not released details   
   of how it is built.....this makes sense to me since he is not a   
   scientist....is an engineer/inventor.....and wants to make the maximum   
   amount of money possible before he has competition....   
      
   An impossible claim requires the maximum proof possible....is there any   
   higher proof that a device works then selling thousands of the device   
   and people being satisfied that it works...???   
      
   I originally thought that there was probably 70/80 percent chance it was   
   not a scam.....now am up over 90 percent sure he has a working device....   
      
   thank you for listening to my thoughts.....have fun.....sno
