HAHAHAHA!!!  If i know as much as i *think* i do, this this is all a bunch 
of...

Ohhh really???  Yeah right.  Did they specifically mention that its different?

I think i happen to know this "physicist/EE".  The guy i know works under 
Pete and is in CA.  Coincidence???  Nah, i doubt it.  And guess what he 
asked for from me?  MY SCHEMATICS for my big SSTC and ive been helping him 
build it for some time now over online chat.  From what HE says, he only 
has a small SSTC producing 2' sparks... hmmm.

That is impressive, but im not sure if i believe it or not.

Dr,  i am in no way trying to offend you and i really hope you do not take 
anything i have said this way... but i have a feeling that they are using 
my circuit (which is really just the same thing as Jimmy Hynes DRSSTC... he 
doesnt get nearly enough credit).  And there is really nothing i can do 
about it other than hope to get some small repayment for the help i have 
given them.
