A couple of points...
This from Fains CEO update...
"Effectively, we have been driving this transmission at over 100% overload during the entire testing period. In addition to operating in an overloaded condition, we ran the unit in excess of the design limits. We also performed a series of rapid deceleration tests without braking, including a “shock-load” deceleration of the Tahoe from 23 mph to zero in exactly one second!"
Isn't part of testing a product include overloading and shock loading designed to find weaknesses and sometimes break parts, etc...I'm thinking that is a normal part of making any product...pushing it to the limit...doesn't that have to be done before going to market, and in the case of a development company like Torvec, that will most likely be part of the process going forward with any deal partners on the IVT...they are going to WANT to try and push it to failure to test the limits of the product...
This from the filing....
"In addition one must ignore Mr. Carlisle's remarks concerning Torvec's IVT and FTV since those comments do not take into consideration that failures do occur with the development of any new product and specifically with respect to normal development procedures, tests are designed to take its products to the limit in order to identify any weak spots that could exist. Mr. Carlisle's characterization that this is a short coming defies reasonable analysis especially given his credentials."
You can't say that Torvec hasn't addressed his comments about the IVT...it's right there in the filing...
