Magnacoaster: Hero or Villain?

[SaneOne]

I know the address and it is an office building, not manufacturing.
The day I spend money on the likes of Magnacoaster is in the very distant future...

I was with Wllis when he first rented the mail box still listed as his mailing address on his web site: 500-23-333 Fairway Rd S Kitchener Ontario, n2c 1x3

At that time, he moved his "lab" out of his apartment and into a  small unit in a converted cold storage building.

Now that he has downsized because of paying "to much" rent, who knows where his "factory" is.

As the deal with Brett Wilson "was never finalized and discussions are still ongoing" he may get into the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest negotiations in the world.

Mr. Wilson said IF Willis could prove his claims, he would invest. Mr. Wilson has never endorsed the technology.

Brett Wilson is a serious businessman, a venture capitalist capable of making decisions in 10 seconds for any deal he likes.

The fact Willis has not closed the deal with Mr. Wilson says everything anyone needs to know about "Little Dicky" and his magic box.

One thing about Willis is known for certain:

Fat people definitely _are_ harder to kidnap.

The sad thing is that, if we look at the patent, and Patrick's write-up, there is a possibility that one or both of his two concepts could be made to work. What then? Will such a person be liable to unlimited charges from the patent holder?

Don't worry.  The Magnacoaster has no possibility of working as a free energy device.

There is no magic in having a patent.

A patent that does not do what is claimed can not be enforced.

There appears to be no working Magnacoaster unit anywhere that has ever been independently tested that backs up Willis' claims.

In the past, a working model of your patent was part of your application. Luckily for Willis, that requirement was dropped.

If that ever does change, and after so many years of failure that is a huge if, ask yourself, will anyone put millions at risk in a deal with an "inventor" who can not make his own technology work and who does not live up to his agreements?

Did I mention that his "breakthrough" was actually his ex-girlfriend's idea? I note that he left her name off the patent.

As for Patrick's comments (which I have not read), while we all want to believe in a "possibility" when we buy a lottery ticket, speculation is not science.
