When shit hits the fan

Hi Garry,

One of the first hurdles to jump in the alt. energy field is comming to
terms with the fact that there are no working F/E plans, besides all the
hype. What there IS, are theory's and claims. Lots of both. These provide
my motivation to search for some underlying picture that may lead me/us to
a practical solution. There just is'nt any proven F/E device. So how can
there be plans? Wish it were that simple.

What you really need, IMO, is an adventurous spirit that is prepared to
explore and experiment, and of course a little faith in the quest helps. If
you expect to simply construct a working F/E device from available
information and have it work first pop, you're destined for disappointment
and frustration. I've spent years exploring the claims of others (and my
own), and attempting reproductions of their work, with no grand end result
other than a better understanding and experience of the field. I believe
real success will come from not giving up (and of course, work and pain <g>).

You've been experimenting with the Joe X fuel cell, with little success. It
is always somewhat depressing to have your labour go unrewarded, I've been
there a hundred times. For some, the dissappointment factor becomes
overwhelming and they discontinue their quest, I would encourage you not to
lose heart. I can accept your frustration and understand how you may want
to vent it on those that you perceive are slowing your progress, but in the
end the buck stops at your own front door.

As for the Clem engine, there is obviously scant accurate technical
information on the subject. If I were in your position (workshop, time,
will), I'd be looking at an experimental approach to investigating this
machine. Surely it must be clear from your communications on this subject
that nobody really knows how to build this machine to provide the results
claimed by Richard Clem. Experiment and research may lead to success.
Looking for instant success will probably leave you bitter and twisted.

Regards, Bill.
