Sounds like another "just-around-the-corner-invest-now!" alternative fuel company.
* A lot of wordy rhetoric about "clean" and "green" power, not technical references.
* 200kg engines that generate hundreds of MW of power
* Claims prototypes are coming "very soon" (2014)
* Typical "lone inventor through sheer genius discovers new untapped, almost unlimited source of energy"
* Picture of Obama on the site ("Look govt. is investing in this too, so should you, get ahead of the game!").
<sarcasm> Not bad. I bet some will buy in. There is a profit to be made off of pedalling "just-around-the-corner" amazing energy breakthrough deals. But in this case first order of business should be finding a better website designer. If they are peddaling this for "investors" they need more flash, some animations, maybe some fake graphs.</sarcasm>
