I will take this advice. However, it is important to present the
proof of concept to gain credibility. Without credibility what
chance do you have to get to the product stage?
Also, this will give these "hobbyists" a first option to become
private dealers. One hand should wash the other. Who would
know better than the people who built the technology? Wouldn't
these guys or gals make the best sales people?
Who likes to buy electronic parts from a Radio Shack Salesperson?
I don't know about you but buying a product from someone who does
not have a clue as to how the product works is a real turn off to me.
Do you think Joe public could build a free energy device?
