Let's not forget reality guys.  The reality is that Philip has consistantly told everybody the reasons (within reason for anybody with half a brain) deadlines were missed.  The ONLY thing he is partially guilty of is not appreciating the effect of unknown unknowns on deadlines and not framing his predications with the appropriate legalese.  Nearly everyone else on this forum works (or worked (if they ever had)) in a process within established fields where there are virtually NO unknown unknowns to impede a deadline. 

Yet still deadlines are missed.  In YOUR field.  All the time.  But, of course, by THEM... not YOU.

I'll tell you something that happened to me in the last 24 hours.  I was coding something in a new programming language based on a framework I had written to make the things I was doing easier to code/read.  It turns out I had ASSUMED that the new language, which looked like a stripped down version of every other language, did something that the others did.  It didn't.  Looking at the sparse docs, armed with my recently acquired (via hours of debugging) knowledge, it turns out that what was NOT said was more important than what WAS.

Assuming previous knowledge.

So there you go, I assumed something based on the knowledge I have acquired over the years in the SAME field (in something (as all languages are) almost exactly the same) and when confronted with something different the assumptions were incorrect.  And that was with something with a manual.  The key word being "almost" (exhiled to parenthesis, being that it's so "unimportant" (although it is actually THE most pivotal point)).

So let's face it people, Phil's team have been open and honest with the issues they have faced which have delayed their work.  There is a timeline and info in this very thread that tells the whole story.  It's shameful to criticise a guy working in a field with no path already trod for not being a marketing genius, especially when that is one of the very things he is being accused of being by the very same people.

Potato/potato.

ps

I will only respond with insults.

@orbit3000 you say 'we all know that quenco probably wont work'.i say the opposite.i say it probably will work,but not necessarily at the power densities or configuration predicted.the fact is a piece of caesium metal spits out electrons on a continuous basis at room temperature.its just a matter of 'steering' them into the right direction, as best you can,its really that simple.

You have made your position clear, yet you keep coming with the personal attacks.

You are simply wrong.  I'm not attacking Philip personally.  Your definition of the term is incorrect.

I haven't visited this site in a couple of years - not since the heady days of Steorn, Mylow and Paul Lowrance's magic box. Of course, they all turned out to be frauds and delusions.

So Quentron by Philip Hardcastle is the new hot thing? How long has he been dragging this one out for?

Without attacking you personally, you're a disingenuous half-wit.
