Hi Norm!

I have that file around here somewhere.

You know, someone told me the other day that the guy who did the CEACU
is Terry Tharps father???? Have to ask Terry about that.

The point remains, the Clem engine was actually built and tested from
all indications I have, while the CEACU was never built, but only
theorized probably from CLEM papers.

This guy named Pete Aldo that I met at an INE or Tesla conference said
he'd built one and couldn't get it to self run. But his was a fat disc
rather than the cone shape and I think he only got it to about 1500.
The pictures he showed me of it were not remotely related to CLEM. I
couldn't tell is he had tested it in a box like the original where the
oil could get and stay hot, circulating and lubricating.

I know what Albert has been able to provide is all there is at this
point, but I think when I get the opportunity to build it, that will be
the form I want to use, though with a vertical axis as we've all agreed
it surely must be.

The Fibonacci expansion of the cone from the apex to the rim also must
play a part, possibly allowing for the additional tapping of gravity
over the larger exposed and cascading surface area.
