I believe they work and was in the process of getting a demo system built
and sent here
to convice companies who were interrested in buying into the licence.
Initially I wanted to know approximately how much it would be so that I
would not be waisting peoples time if it was way too rich for me.
Griggs said that the licence would be in the US$100 K ball park.
after some discussions a rough contract was sent to me with a price of
US$750K
plus minimum anual fees of about US$50K to US$100K.
I gave it all up as just totally over the top for an undeveloped country
with a population of 1.5 million.
If you scaled up the annual charges by 100 times as a very conservative
ratio to the US economy then they should be doing over a billion worth of
business in the states now.
I just can't believe these inventors who have something good but just want
to milk
it for all they can get. If they believed in their product I would be happy
to pay a reasonable percentage of sales but they want millions up front.
Then they are surprised when companies are not interrested.
I hope it is working somewhere and there are huge opertunities in the paper
industries and
heating industries for this product as one of the key advantages is that
there is NO Scaling.
In some paper manufacturing processes the heat exchangers work at an
average of about 50% efficiency and have to be dismantled for de-scaling
regularly.
Just my experience
