Did he indicate any kind of TBO for his tip jets? The US Army experimented with the tip jet helo back in the late 40's and early 50's and scrappped the idea because, among other things, jet engines would start or elongate after a while and lose efficiency. It was kind of like a glass blower swinging a lump of hot glass around on the end of a blow pipe. For decades now these things have popped up in the back of magazines as projects you could buy plans for. They were said to be powered by a variety of fuels from alcohol to propane. The idea isn't new, and in reading his web site it seems to be long on claims short on products, and quiet frankly, some of the stuff he's claiming in there looks to be very closely related to cow pies.
