So, how do you consider this thread to be "giving back to the community"? I enjoyed the article, and am very impressed with most of the things Kamen has done. Have you seen any of the video of the prosthetic arm that he developed in less than a year? It's AMAZING! Just what is it that you think is such a waste of time? The Sterling Engine? And whose time is being wasted?

From the article you linked to:

Both devices have already been proved amazingly effective: one six-month test has used a Stirling engine to provide electric light to a village in Bangladesh, powered by burning the methane from a pit filled with cow dung; Slingshot has undergone similar tests in a settlement in rural Guatemala.

I'm honestly having trouble figuring out what your problem is ...
