bah,
$30,000 to build and it’s 8 feet long.
You can get the ultra-light version here for $3.99.
A scam is not a joke.
The scam is simple - tell a hundred people a tall tale and 10 will believe you implicitly. One of those 10 will want to invest, but be too far away to see for himself, and will rely on testimonials and press clippings, which can be created with a desktop computer.
I have a legitimate product that I show at various state fairs, etc. and there is always a scam artist within a few booths of mine trying to raise money with a strange invention that just needs tweaking to make some sucker rich. They will often have the cover of a “foundation” that has themselves as a paid employee.
I’ve seen enough interviews with this guy to know that he isn’t a scam artist.
Unfortunetly, he is nuttier than a Stucky’s log. Between this, the fire paste and the bear suit, I have no choice but to conclude his is boarderline certifiable.
Still doesn’t stop me from rooting for him. I would love to see him invent something that actually works, and is useful
So to Troy I say, “Shine on you crazy diamond, shine on”
:dubious: It might just, maybe, have been believable as a see-through ray. But then he had to get greedy and claim it’s a magical mechanical kill-o-ray too.
Sounds like a scam to me. Lots of claims, plenty reckless loose talk about top-secret security interest and mystery high-placed contacts. But zero actual demonstrations.
Expect the ‘it was so good “they” supressed it’ story any time soon.
How are these used? Does the Light Infantry sit on the cushions? What happens next?
Nay, Captain, the Dilithium crystals willna’ take it!
When everyone knows that it’s the green ones that are invisible.
No, no no. They are torture devices.
“That’s it, Private Beagles! Poke him with the blast cushions! Now, talk, you terrorist scum!”
“They don’t seem to be hurting him, Sergeant.”
“Have you got all the stuffing at one end?”
“Yes.”
“He must be made of stronger stuff. Fetch…the fire paste!!!”
Before teasing this guy with this elitist talk of because it hasn’t been done yet, it cannot be done, this fellow has some serious idea’s as you can see by watching this.

His link is the “Fire jeep” second one down.
I don’t know…isn’t that the laser from Real Genius? :dubious:
PointlessWasteofTime featured that pic in its daily caption contest. I think one of the winners was, “Gentlemen: we can rebuild his cock. We have the technology.”
