I can't recall which ones specifically but I think two of big videojames kickstarters before it slammed clean into 2 mill on day 2. I really wanna say it was Project Eternity and maybe the Torment sequel.

not to develop a prototype, for the special sensors a university apparently needs to buy in - from germany, of course - in order to do one of the simplest measurements in engineering

also i really trust this guy's scientific and engineering credentials

The world uses approximately 90,000 barrels of oil a day, at $100 a barrel that’s $9 billion a day wholesale. And then there’s coal and gas.

(90k barrels is what *hungary* uses in a day. the us uses two thousand times that, and the world uses a hundred thousand times more oil daily than he says. poo poo, if we were only using 90,000 barrels of oil a day we really wouldn't need his perpetual motion machine. also 90,000 times 100 is 9 million, not 9 billion)

just noticed that your investor reward, for helping bring to market something which will make the inventor literally richer than anyone has ever been anywhere in the world, is a loving brass plaque. oh, and a sports jacket and a discount off the motor when it comes to market if you pay out $5k, and you only get that *after* he proves he can break the laws of thermodynamics

if anyone really invented a transformatively cheap, clean, reliable, abundant energy source it would be profoundly immoral not to release it into public domain. besides, china/india/america/france would reverse engineer and copy it within a couple of years anyway.

if it works out like the haber-bosch process did, you could make a ton on money over those few years, then once it's reverse engineered it'll end up the same as if you gave it out. everyone wins

David Foxfire (Real Name: David Gonterman) was once one of the most controversial web cartoonists in the late 90s. In fact his early attempts at fanficiton were the topic of ridicule and derision well into the next decade due to some of the objectional content infused in them. However, as he went older, he matured in both temperament and talent, as his original novels 'Scarlet PI' and 'Blood & Metal' can show, although his eccentric storywriting and hybird Disney/Marvel drawing style is still present.

He resides in his Granite City, IL apartment close to family and friends, and is an avid Dungeons & Dragons player. Future projects include his own Campaign world for the upcoming 5th Edition of D&D.

You can visit his web site at http://foxfirestudios.net.
