Normally I would be interested in such a project, but recently my wife has suffered a stroke and I'm committed to taking full time care of her now.  So my time is very, very limited, and I'm afraid that, except possibly for technical advice, my services would not be effective under the circumstances.

As far as our own MEG is concerned, Dr. Lee Kenny is completely in charge of that project.  For Howard Johnson's project, Howard is completely in charge of that one.

Presently I cannot take on any new projects at all.

Very best wishes,

Tom Bearden

Dear Dr. Tom Bearden,

Several years ago, I contacted you regarding the MEG as well as Howard Johnson's magnet motor. Now, my situation has changed. Quietly, I have put together a consortium of like-minded individuals who are prepared to financially back these technologies. The basic plan is this... to baseline designs in one or both concepts at the 30hp equivalent, at 200 hp, at 750 hp, and 1500hp. In 30-60 days we'll be ready to fund this project outside of the US. Would you be interested in consulting and working with us. I will be happy to give you more details in person. Also, I respect your views in this area, and therefore, would be very interested in your opinions on the possibility of recruiting 6-10 other consultants, if you believe there is such a brain trust available, and who you would recommend. Please let me know your interest. I am very anxious to receive your reply. Thanks for your time.

Best Wishes,

Mike
