If the PMG worked, Charles Flynn can call up Tesla tomorrow, say: "Hey, I hold a patent to reduce your battery requirements by 90% - you can have it for $5000 royalties per car" - and it will be the fastest multi-billion dollar deal ever struck since Tesla knows this would make them the number 1 auto manufacturer in the world within 2 years.
Charles isn't doing that. Why? Maybe you can contend that Charles isn't interested in money... in which case why file a patent?
Thanks for revealing this information deonb.
I don't know Flynn. I never communicated with him or anyone from his staff. So, I cannot answer that question. I can only posit a guess.
If you follow Flynn's work, as I have done, you will find that he has various, verifiable, consultation contracts with different US Military Research Labs. He kind of went off the web radar in 2006, when he acquired the first of these contracts. I suspect that was part of the deal. It appears, however, that it is possible to acquire one of his PMGs for test purposes but, I think that they are only available to a select few. I have not contacted Flynn to find out if this is true, for I could not even afford that, on my miniscule budget. And, I definitely wouldn't qualify as one of the select few.
As for money, I also surmise that Flynn is being both, well paid and well financed.
Were I Elon Musk, I would contact Flynn. I heard he is a bit sensitive, though. So, were I Elon Musk, I would definitely tone down the your crazy jargon and the you've got to prove it to me first, before I'll take a look at it, approach. I imagine he has had enough of that.
If I were Flynn, I would sit back and wait for a humbler group to work with. Where's the joy in trying to develop something new when your own staff is constantly taking pot shots at you.
