AaronB,

Well all right, murderess urges fading, hugging urges returning. All I ask for is a simple explanation on how the x-ray converter will work, it does not need to be detailed: its already outside of my field. I doubt anyone is going to read your vague explanation and slam a patent before yours get through. Now here a thing I don’t get: if 98% of your input energy comes out as a ion beam and another 57% input energy comes out as x-rays (100% in, 155% out right?) why is it debatable what energy conversion technique you’ll need to be energy positive: neither will do alone, your going to need to extract useful amounts of energy out of both the x-rays (be it directly or indirectly) and the ion beam, to make net energy positive production when all the inefficiencies are cut out.

texaslabrat,

I love you to, is that enough sunshine and sprinkles for you? If you want some positive points: I don’t think there a scam: I’m pretty sure they believe what there doing and the lack of good private investing tells me that they are nerdy scientist that lack the marketing and confidence building skills of a con artist. To top it off they have been so very open: good for academia types, but a no-no for scamer types… except on how the x-ray converter thing works that got me worried.
