- For anyone - How fast do you think someone can go on a bicycle? I had no idea. The fact is that in 1984 3 time olympian John Howard was able to go 152 miles per hour - measured at the Bonneville Salt Flats. His heart rate reached 195 beats per minute. I never would have believed someone could go that fast on a bicycle. 10 years later someone was able to go 161 Miles per hour.

- This process (in human sports and endurance) as well as technological advances is quite normal. Someone has an idea, theory or concept that they explore. Sometimes it proves to be faulty or unobtainable and sometimes it provides the basis for some form of breakthrough.

We are a better society because there are pioneers that push the envelope. They reach for the impossible and don't stop even when they fall short.

I am OK with the fact that Mr. Snaper's assessment of extracting gold from fly ash fell short of economic viability. We learn as much or more in failure then we do in success. In fact true failure only happens when we quit trying.

Where would we be if we decided that orbiting the earth was sufficient space research and did not push further to land on the moon? What if we stopped researching computers as soon as we had the hand held calculators. Or stuck with phonographs or film based pictures. I am grateful for the men and women that see into the future and the possibilities to build on our knowledge and technical abilities.

I am grateful that Mr. Snaper was not satisfied with just creating Ballys first computers, or gillette's razor coatings, or the small heart pumps he developed. I support him because he is a visionary and sees beyond the normal persons possible and pours his life into achieving it. Many great men have been mocked for believing something could be done and spending their lives trying to make it happen - despite the cost and ridicule. Men who believed the world was round were mocked by those who thought it was flat. Many who believed we could fly were mocked by those who thought we never could.

Bottom line is I don't know if CTDT will ever be able to go into mass manufacturing. I have seen the preliminary results of the process and know it can crush carbon and create diamond. I don't where they are in the process beyond that. Do they have the measuring and control needed to go into full blown manufacturing? I think they can get there. But I don't know for certain. What I do know is that Mr. Snaper will invest the balance of his life working to see it happen. For that I am grateful. The value of the process will be a game changing technology that will impact ALL of society for the good. For that he needs to be applauded. Even if he falls short and someone else in 5 years or a decade or two later are able to refine his concepts.

I am here as much for the support of Mr. Snaper and the CTDT process as I am for an investment. I get as frustrated with anyone else with the way they handle things. But I am here to see this succeed and I will not leave until it is highly successful or completely shut down and proven unviable. Even then I will be appreciative of Mr. Snaper for it is men like him down through history that give us the quality of life we have today. GOOD LUCK TO ALL
