As for Universities working on this.... I've had assistance from institutions with respect to this. I've talked to one prof at length who was involved in catalyst development for the Oil and Gas industry. He has advised they have done away with a lot of R&D in the catalyst field because the refineries are quite efficient now. They keep R&D costs down for a good bottom line.

I work with a large Oil and Gas company now (8+ billion) and I know their R&D cycles and it usually pertains to new exploration and only when crude prices are high. As I communicate well with scientists, I have had many discussions with their geophysicists and scientists about how they work. It helps us process and migrate their data.

Look at Firefly Battery. The physicist who developed their hybrid battery had never worked in battery research before. He was not bound by assumptions of scientists immersed in that field.

Q: That's not to mention that Bordynuik has no experieince in the petrochemical industry that I know of.

JB: I don't need to be. That why I have two chemists Alan Barnett, Ron Kurp, and islechem. We have 5 total and they do know what they are talking abut. I can however take information in unrelated fields and apply it. I purchased the blest unit, modified it and tried a catalyst composition. Alan then purchased a GC, then Intertek tested the fuel and then we purchased a large processor, tested the process at 300kg, then islechem. It works scaled. If you are sceptical then don't invest until we see financial data.

Q: Regardless of any one's IQ, if you don't have experience working in a regulated industry, you'll tend to overlook and oversimplify the regulatory requirements and the direct and indirect costs of compliance with those industries regulations.

JB: You don't need a high IQ to hire process engineers and technicians to solve those problems. Our key person has already designed and built a fully operational permitted magnesium recycling plant. He is not a chemist but knows permits and processes -- and understands volatiles.

Re:<"JB: It clear this individual has done no DD on our management team. I don't throw numbers out lightly.">

Really Mr. Bordynuik?!? You really have a basis for most of what you say and that's why everything falls apart despite your well-thought-out 'expectations'?? The only problem is that you have the poorest luck of anyone else in history??...well, not you specifically since you get paid well, but your shareholders have the poorest luck because all of your solid and rational numbers and expectations mysteriously fall apart over and over and over again (and mysteriously you can't ever provide any explanations for why your solid DD misses the marks).

Well, at least shareholders can bank on processors being built at RockTenn...well except the developing of procedures due within thirty business days seems quiet and the delivering drawings to RockTenn for the slab, metal shed and processor due within 90 days also is going on two months late. Other than that....
