You're talking apples and oranges. Per is suggesting a *method*, not a material. Apples and apples. Edison had an idea and tried to implement it. Per found the "boolean" button in his 3d program, threw some inaccurate adjectives at it and talks it up like it's cross sliced bread. Not at all. Per has suggested sheet steel and plywood. Many other materials can be implied including composites. So let Per even demo a _model_. Edison did. If somebody did take Per's idea, and made it work, then marketed it or in some way profited from it, Per may well join that long list of "visionaries" who go down in history as the "real", "hard done by" inventor. If Per wants somebody to back him, and share the profits (I hope) the Per needs to show that there is some _practical_ use to this. It would cost far less than the computer and Net connection for a year to get a model going. If Per is physically incapable of this, which is a possibility that needs considering, then surely he can arrange somebody to give a small madeol a go, to generate real interest. Don. Why don't _you_ give it a go? As Per would say, "I have my own pony to ride". ;-) Hey Nick, have I seen your sig over in misc.survivalism? I haven't been there in awhile. ************************************************** ************************** ************** Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
