Lonnie: The example of Ballard was not to compare AENG with it,whether you are for or against AENG. My reasoning is that with Balalrd as you stated , you have many years of experimentation , patents contracts , hoopla etc. So what is the bottom line or where is the beef ?. If you follow the Ballard SI thread , you will note that 98% of the posts are about the price of the stock , how or when it will go up or down , or just plain hustling. It does not appear that the posters have a clue about the technology , because even the partners of Ballard know for sure ,or can state with any certainty if and when this technology will be marketed. So if a religion is organized or not , it is still religion . Big companies goof all the time , they only difference is that they can afford to so. I have some knowledge of fuels, the most ideal would be hydrogen , for reasons that are obvious. Fuel cells do not have the thrust required for most engine uses and are not economical. This is not saying that they can not work or will not work in the future. What is stated clearly , the technology of fuel cells has a long way to go in order to meet the intended uses. It is also not correct to say that the stock price has a direct correlation to the value of a technology , not matter if it is high or low. The world of technology is not that simple, to enable us to evaluate the worth of an idea by the price of the stock , this is evidently absurd. AENG is on record that it is working on the OX2 at this time , if this is not true than they are lying , if they are working on it and it is true , then the question answers itself. Everyone can decide for themselves
