Auric: Take the time and respond to #593, do you have any facts about the motor or just speculation. Paul

Let's keep in mind that AENG has only been promoting this engine since January. There are bound to be growing pains with a new company like this. I agree that 3rd party testing is appropriate and I think it is just a matter of time before such tests are performed. I cannot fault the company for promoting themselves in the manner in which it has. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a demonstration must be worth a million. AENG has presented this motor to some of the top names in the auto industry. If one was trying to promote a bogus engine, one would try to avoid the auto legends that AENG has sought out. I imagine AENG would do a few things different if they could, but that is part of the learning curve. I think AENG has done an excellent job by showing the engine to as many companies as they have. Let's face it, these companies will be the ultimate judge of the engine. As investors, we are speculating on how these companies will respond. Remember AENG has only been promoting for 6 months. With all that said, we are back to the point of investing. With the recent nature of this thread, resembling a political campaign with distortions and half truths, it makes it very difficult for an investor to make an informed decision. I've tried to do my homework. I have shown the engine design and video to other engineers where I work and the consensus opinion is that this is a workable design. We are split on the performance, but we all agree that it will work. I've looked at the potential market for the OX2. I've looked at manufacturing cost. Add in the comments from Mr. Barber, Mr. Fleharty and others, and you have my decision to purchase additional shares. With respect to Auric and others, your comments were also taken into consideration, hence limiting the amount of risk I was willing to take. The bottom line for me is that the OX2 engine, if given a chance, will carve out a substantial share of the engine market. I'm looking to the future with a great deal of optimism.
