Actually Moller's efforts have resulted in the advancement of other technologies - such as engines. And, if there weren't people like him who keep pursuing the prize - the great American greed factories (MSFT, TRW, GM, etc.) would control everything that happens - which is why the 100MPG carburettors never made it to market. Personally, I prefer that more of the Tom Swift's of the world see some success. Power-to-weight ratios for engines have been the biggest problem for Moller, and the recent developments in micro-turbines (..currently used in small electrical generators; 40kW+/-..) could solve those issues. Additionally, the tremendous advancements in micro-sized computers, imbedded controllers, and the distributed control of same bring a technology like the "..flying car.." closer to reality all the time. The new lightweight carbon fiber composites vs. heavy fiberglas will also help this or a similar efforts succeed. I'm not suggesting that you or anyone else who is not a wealthy philanthropist invest in it, but I certainly prefer that they keep trying - because it is do-able at this point in time. Keep in mind, not everyone is like Dean Kamen and his "Segway" scooter - having Bill Gates fortune backing them up...!!! Having personally scratch-built, registered (JMH001), licensed, and made road-worthy a 100HP, automatic, Corvair-powered Dune Buggy, I certainly salute Moller for building and flying his machine - tethered or not. The simplest of craft that fly are much more of a challenge than a vehicle that just boogies down the road or beach. Actually, the tether was a demand of his company's business insuror. The tether never was called upon to prevent a crash, etc., in the videos I've seen on the Discovery Channel, etc. "...GOooooooooooooooooooooooooo Popular Science & Tom Swift...."!!! John :-) .
