hysr. The patented Gen1 device just shows the workability of the system! Tim Young just decided to improve some of the catalysts and structural components in the Gen2 system, therefore exciting some shareholders unnecessarily!
With improvements more time is required, as a hunt for longer lasting materials as well as more functional ones, depends on additional help in the technology field! In their quest to develop a truly efficient system, more work and outside help is needed! Just like the Model T Ford, every new model improved upon the last, therefore investing more time and money! BUT, the basic engine remained technically the same, though changes had to be made to meld New systems into it!
It may be that HYSR requires additional Patents however, as new changes are often reflected on down the component line? No sweat on my part!!! I don't blame TY for reaching for the best technology possible, it means a more efficient product when it commercializes? Glta...
