Thanks Jay
From what I can gather John is retired but still on the Harbor Branch board. I have what maybe an old Harbor Branch email address for him but I'll have to drop him a line on it to see if it's good. I would love to talk to him about the ring thruster as well as other things if he's willing. Right now I'm thinking of designing a version of the ring thrust that can be cost effective to make, for PSUBers and the like. If so I would need to talk to Mr. Holt or Harbor Branch about licensing the patent. I'm not that interested at making money on it, just would love to see the cool concept get used by some more common folk like my self.
Are you still in contact with John?
I surely hope your enjoying the warm weather down your way, since I'm frozen up here in Priest Lake, Idaho.
