"Arguably I would say that you are where you (today) are because of Dr. Zahn, delivering you (media, public debate, this forum, NASA, NRC?) so I guess throwing him under the bus as a skeptic because he doesn't want to take the time (or your money) to prove your invention is real is a tactical decision?   I guess I don't understand that if Dr. Zahn's tests are so easy that you can't just produce the results?  Wasn't that your intent?  To go to MIT (or any university) to try to get the scientific community behind your invention because you lacked the expertise? That's how you hooked me in, you were humble and seeking validation. He seems to be "interested" but skeptical - why not continue to play that out by cooperating rather then just dismissing it as "more skeptical nonsense from people who don't care to do the diligence to prove me wrong"  I think he's asking you to do the same, he's saying the burden of proof is on _you_, not him.  I think that's fair." 

I didn't throw him under the bus I invited him on the bus and we were prepared to pay him up to $60,000 (all totaled) for the privilege of riding with him.
What else can we do?

I hope Thane that you will take the time to read MainePower's post again. And probably again after that. As many times as it takes to understand what he or she is saying. Hint: It might be four.  That's how many times I had to read "A Brief History of Time" back in the day.

If you can't or won't do Dr. Zahn's tests, the very best thing that will be concluded is hubris.  The worst I think is clear.  The results are no more important than the fact that you are willing to get them, wherever they fall.

Well, I think that would be wasted money.
For this amount of money you could employ a few students which
would wind all the timeforyou new coils and you perfect a prototype
that really works...

Why go the MIT route, when you can find people, who
you don?t need to convince and do this work for little money,
cause they belive it is worth to do it...

Because at the time we had a $15 M offer on the table and we wanted to provide our investor with some due diligence and Dr. Habash's experise is not in this area - so it just made sense to go to MIT because the door was open at the time.

Besides everyone needs convincing my word is not nor should it be sufficient.

Thane,
I see.
And how did now the Dr. Zahn demo work out ?
Is he still pondering about it or is he not anymore involved ?

What was his latest words about it ?

Just: I don?t know what is going on ?
Pretty lame for such a Dr.Dr. Prof.....

It seems, he was only interested in your money...
