Charles, Very few engineers need to be licensed. I work in a building with about 200 electrical, mechanical and software engineers and I don't think you'd find a single one who has a state license. Generally, engineering licenses are only required for those people who work in construction or other "infrastructure" jobs. Even in those cases, there will often be just a single "licensed" engineer on the project (who has to sign and approve everything) and lots of others who do the work. Most electrical engineers work in Silicon and circuit design. Everything from microprocessors to toasters. No license required. I'm guessing the guy just wants to attract attention to himself. mg

Chas: I think you are missing the clue that tells that the static field converter is a hoax (I know, you knew that anyway.) In 1968 a self promoting nutcase from Greenwich Village with a good sense of humor campaigned for president as a write-in. He plastered the city with big posters of himself nude, with just a top hat covering his genitals. His slogan was "Vote for me, I've nothing to hide." His name? Abolafia. In other words, this is not a scam, it is performance art.
