Hmmm.......
I have looked carefully at this site and would make these observations:
1) The author claims: "This is to announce that `Psitronics Group Systems,
International` and it's sister-companies [snip]... are now `Hot Linked` to
the `National Aeronautics & Space Administration`"
What does `hot-linked` mean here????
In the normal usage on the web it means "hyperlinked" - and at the bottom
of the page there is indeed a hyperlink to the NASA web site.
However, the overall tone of the paragraph is trying to give the impression
that Psitronics and its sister companies are in a commercial partnership
with `blue chip` technology companies to develop this motor. In other
words it seems to be trying to give the impression that NASA is a partner
(thus giving it credibility) while not actually saying that.
2) In the author`s resume page, he says "I designed a Self-Sustaining
Permanent Magnet Motor from scratch in 1976!"
Which begs the question: "Fine - so why 23 years later are you still
looking for funding????"
If the thing worked, why haven`t we all been using them for years????
3) More generally, the level of investment asked for is ridiculous:
250,000,000 dollars - why so high? You only have to demonstrate one to any
existing large electromechanical manufacturing corporation and they will do
the rest and pay a handsome royalty.
4) The photographs are clearly labelled "Concept model" - why no photo of
the 600 HP working prototype?......
5) I`m always suspicious of vague and therefore unverifiable claims such as:
"I am currently working closely with Government and Industry"
- Which agencies?
- Which companies that are #NOT# just `sister companies` also run by the
same person?
"These Blueprints have recently been Favorably Evaluated by The United
States Navy"
- When and where?
- Official documents proving this claim?
None of the above counts against the validity of the above claims, but it
causes me to be a little less than enthusiastic.
At the least I feel that it points to an amateurish web site in support of
an enthusiastic but possibly naive inventor.
However, it does make a testable claim:
"All this is to be a Surprise to the World on January 1st, 2001 When our
Full-Sized `Millennium Motors` are also released to the Marketplace"
I have emailed the inventor and asked him what he could actually
demonstrate (i.e. a working model) to potential investors.........
