I looked up their patents. All pretty gauzy. A colleague who had been a plasma physicist was decidedly unimpressed. Haven't heard a peep since then. Joe Gwinn

Lockheed can do that without betting the whole company. This relates to the "stupidity" thread below. Ignore authority.

All their literature describing their work is 100% obfuscation bullshit. Only a shit-hole country like US allows scammers on this scale to operate so freely. They should be arrested by the local bunco squad, treated very roughly and kept locked up for 45 days.
