Same here. I asked him what happened to his magnets and demos and such,
particularly that ring track demo unit and he said it was a combination
of theft, malicious ex-wives, fires in his home, etc..
Even then he was saying $10,000 would build another set of magnets that
would duplicate this self rolling principle, but I don't think he's ever
gotten it, or at least not spent it with any success. He says people
and groups all over the world have duplicated certain aspects of his
claims, mostly in Europe, specificlly in Germany, but I don't know else
surely someone on the net would be reporting success all over the place.
The stories are interesting but it would be nice to have sufficient info
to build one of those tabletop demos...
