I think the reason for flashy webesites and raising lots of excitement before having a product is so they can raise money to develop a product (R&D for a turbine must be quite costly... as others have posted the alloys alone are extremely expensive). I don't mind this... venture capital is necessary and part of the game. But their website should be more honest, should probably be targetting investors (venture capitalists) at this point more than trying seduce naive customers into sending them deposits for products that may never exist, and at the very least they should be checking their email.

I'd think that most people with money to invest are smart enough to know that you invest in aircraft engine projects because you like aircraft, not to actually make money. If you are not technically savvy, this is the wrong place to put your money. They will need some deep pockets before getting this to market.

The initial numbers and timetables were nonsense- time to admit that and do it right from here on in if that's the intention.

If they get it working properly, this concept will sell itself- no need to market it. The cool factor overwhelms any reason applied as to why you shouldn't have this on an experimental aircraft.

I've had many companies approach us to do injection for their new super engine design which will revolutionize some market. Not one of those is still around in business today. Enthusiasm tempered by realism and a good team is required to make some of these cool concepts work in real life. This is a hard combination to find it seems.

companies like Inodyne are what make our hobby so interesting, common sense is what makes us buy Vans and Lyclone.

I for one am always interested in all the snake juice companies and dont want them going away. Maybe, just maybe one of them will really pull of some fairytale innovation.
