Was actually involved as consultant in the design and development of that turbine concept.

Makes nice little turbines in kilowatt size form factors but starts becoming a hard sell after 50kw.

Company was trying to get investor funding for megawatts sized turbines.

Did a design scale up of turbine concept to megawatt output and the turbine was roughly the size and shape of the Huston Astrodome - and a lot more expensive to build.

Very short term employment after that but I at least I stayed away from scrutiny by Securities and Exchange or the bunco squad.

Oh well, at least their check cleared the bank, which kind of surprised me

Seems to me it would have been easier to build 4 or 5 smaller towers which could fit in place of the “dome” sized one you were speaking of. That way if one went out for repairs the others would still be producing their combined 750 to 800 thousand watts....as opposed to losing the entire megawatt productivity when the “big one” went down and had to shut down for repairs.
