What a guy! I hope They leave him the fuck alone. Reminds me of my old man, just wanted to be left to his thoughts and research.

I worked with a guy at my last job that was a Nuclear Electrician in the Navy for years. He was a very smart guy. He decided he was going to build a small nuclear reactor to run his house and parents house off of so he could stay off the grid. Well he got all the drawings made and was actually trying to find Uranium! Needless to say this guy was so smart he was dumb. He got a visit from the FBI and a letter from the atomic comittee for him to stop his work. It was funny but at the same time I think that is what is a bad thing in this country that has been happening for a while now. If you are outside the box on your thinking you are told to stop, not encouraged. Very few now a days succeed with that mantra. Unless you are a corperation, then you are innovative. On your own you are labeled as a weirdo.

The Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, Paul Klipsch and even Harley and Davidson started with an idea in a crappy 10x15 old shop



21st Century Big Money tries to control ideas and innovation the same way Edison tried to snuff out Tesla.

LOL, free energy! Like that's ever going to happen. No government on the face of this earth would allow it. Assuming it was actually possible and it happen tomorrow you would essentially put millions of people out of work in the blink of an eye. The world economy would crash and wars would pop up all over the place.

It's a fallacy to think free energy would make things better if it was available all of a sudden. Something like that would have to be phased in over 100 to 200 years.

He is very interesting. Seems smart as well and keeps himself busy doing pretty intelligent things. Sure he looks pretty rough, his house is a mess but he's doing cool stuff and not hurting anybody. I enjoyed the video.
