Our gamble is that several potential investors will realize the =
advantages of being the FIRST company to market a working F/E =
technology. While "waiting" to "buy it at the store" will eventually =
benefit everyone, leading the F/E marketing industry during a time when =
no real competition exists stands to make a "few more dollars" than what =
"waiting" would produce. <grin> 8^)

Also, if a potential investor decides to "wait" for the Oct 28th =
disclosure, he runs the risk that we WILL establish solid funding =
contacts which would mean public disclosure will never happen. This =
would leave that investor waiting for the technology to hit the market =
and then having to play "catch up" as a potential competitor who has to =
start from scratch. Not a good position. IOW, deciding to wait is very =
chancey.

Hi Bill, ZPE et al!

You know, in discussing this countdown with some friends, it was pointed
out there is an inherent fatal flaw in the logic of the countdown;

1) zpe@pdq.net states they have what they believe to be a=20
theoretical model of how to extract o/u energy from a vortex

2) zpe@pdq.net states it has not been built or tested at this point

3) zpe@pdq.net is asking for funding to verify then capitalize on=20
the device if it works as they are sure it will

4) in the event they do not receive this funding before Octorber 28th,
they will release the information for free to all

Now, why would anyone want to invest in something if they can get it for
free just by waiting?

Possibly to get a commercial handle on it so they can make money?

I have heard this many times from 'moneyed people' who say well IF it IS
for real, then why should I invest anything in R&D when one day I can
just buy it at the store.

Sad, but true. Where are the Ted Turners, the Bill Gates, the Ross
Perots, the Donald Trumps and all the other multimillionaires who could
finance any of this research with what is 'chump change' to them?

As much as I detest the probability of it, we live in a comfort zone
that is highly controlled by not allowing such mavericks as we all are
(if you're reading this, you ARE a maverick..<g>..) to be granted money
that will alter not only society but governments, many corporations and
vested institutions who rely on us all being controlled as to energy and
goods. =20

Not saying we should EVER give up as they screwed up and stepped on it
when the InterNet was created, though I'd still rely on my own mail,
phone, fax and other network contacts AS WELL as the Internet so that
when the plans are ready, MANY, MANY people and groups will suddenly
have a surprise packet in their mailbox, urging them to photocopy it and
pass it everywhere first, then build, prove and USE it.

I'm just puzzled how this ZPE countdown scenario is expected to work.
