Holcomb Energy Systems:Breakthrough technology to the world

Watts available in the battery bank would be my guess.

Watts available in the battery bank would be my guess.

Would that be peak watts, continuous watts, average watts or what? I think they confuse power and energy.

Like how many watts are left in your phone battery? Nonsensical.

In 1901, two professors at one of the US universities "proved" that a heavier-than-air aircraft could never get off the ground, that it was like a "perpetuum mobile". The US Senate banned the Pentagon from funding development, but three years later the Wright brothers' plane took off, which gave way to aviation development.

This is your typical "skeptic" story but I do want to add to this something. What many people also don't know is that the Wright brothers were involved in a patent war. Sueing everyone they felt infringed on their patent. This made the US aviation industry suffer and airplane development in the US fell so far behind Europe that in WW1 American pilots were forced to fly European combat aircraft, instead.


There's a double lesson in that story. Greed always stops innovation no matter how big the idea is.

And as no frame of reference or explanation is given for that graph it can be filed under 'Useless speculation' or 'Waste of time'.

Let's move on.
