I'm not an academic, but have a reasonable level of physics understanding. The concept is simple enough that it should be understandable by people that have a basic understanding of how charged particles behave in a magnetic field.
It should be taken seriously because it's a good idea, and deserves to be studied. I readily admit that a full analysis is beyond my abilities, but I haven't been able to find anyone that can do any better at evaluating it, and I've talked to a lot of people.
I'm moving forward with the self funded construction of the prototype, because with this type of thing, I don't think ANYBODY can say with certainty that it will work or not. Even simulations aren't enough to tell for sure.
And yeah, I'm also trying to restart Murfie among other things.
How is this supposed to help people take you seriously? What are your credentials? Why should anyone take you seriously?
Are you an academic? Have you submitted this to academic journals or individuals? Have you tried to make or made any connections to anyone in the field?
Also, are you the guy who bought the warehouse full of CD's?
