Plus, the stock didn't tank because of Chris Nelson, it tanked because of Harry Schoell's blatant incompetence.
Cyclone had squandered more than $25 million in investors' cash and had not been able to make a working STEAM ENGINE. You know, the kind of thing James Watt was getting rich on more than 230 YEARS ago.
And Watt did that back before the Internet, computers, calculators, electricity, machine tools, engineering schools and indoor plumbing.
Tom Swift once said Cyclone would have done better by going to country auctions, buying old steam engines and rebuilding them. He's right. At least some customers would have gotten something that worked.
But even after Ohio State University proved the Schoell spider bearing and water lubrication can't be made to work, Harry Schoell is still trying to make engines with his spider bearing and water lubrication work. They never have, don't now and never will work. Guaranteed continued failure.
