I didn't know that was him. He should have stuck with that, suppertrap
exhaust systems were about the best available...

Moler is like Jim Bede. Great at raising money for his pie-in-the-sky
ideas. After at least ten years, you'd think he'd have something
other than a sortof mockup. Where's the beef?

After 50+ years and trillions of $$$s,, where are all the fusion
reactors ? Some things take time...

There is a difference between fusion reactors, which are beyond the cutting
edge research projects.

Moler's project is a bit different. First, the technology exists to do what
he says he intends to do. He still hasn't gotten there. Beyond that, he's
promising performance figures that can't be achieved with the type craft
he's projecting. Check out his range/fuel mileage claims. Completely
impossible.

So, what we have in one instance is people trying to develop new technology
which may or may not achievable, ever.

And then, there is Moler, who has a 30+ year of failure at creating a flying
machine which should be doable with today's technology, although it'll never
meet the claimed performance. So, he's more or less a failure and a fraud
at the same time.

Anyone who can produce an "air car" for a reasonable price (say the
cost of a large luxury automobile) will be able to sell hundreds or
thousands, maybe even millions of them so there is considerable
insentive to do so so I have to ask...If this is so easily achievable
with current technology...why hasn't someone done it ?

If only Moller offered it with the Zoch Diesel....

Maybe Zzzzz or his Toadie will test fly the thing. Look for a flight
report on Aero-nut network.

For the sweet love of humanity I hope no one buys it.
