Not employed by V3Solar.
Good Point. Will look into testing without pursuing commercial advantage is legal.
Do you want to see this technology independently tested?
Naturally, However I am still not sure which technology we are talking about. The cone deally, the lens and spinning drum, or the air cooled concentrated PV, as fluid cooled CPV is being researched by many, in seemingly more scalable, industrially reliable and efficient approaches,
Do you get where im coming from with the durable goods thing? this idea just hits me as something ill see as a 1:8 table top/cubicle toy sold by thickgeek to charge your cell phone in a window office 5 years down the road, not a viable answer to national/global solar power needs.

Cute, but useless in the bigger picture. ill take a waterproof unit i can stick outside in direct sun that charges 10xAAA or 1-3 LiB in 1/2 the time, then do with them what i like, Something along those lines.
Unless the, so far mystical, energy boost is real, In which case, awesome for them. Ill have a good laugh at myself if I see it come to fruition. But normally when someone makes engineering claims that seem totally off base, are vague about it, have no working prototype to clearly demonstrate the effect, and mention IP law on their first page, it turns out to be vaporware.
Or at best they are paying someone todo just enough work to file patents to troll later when real engineers do real work and make real products. If you cant tell yet, i find the IP "threats" of their parent company more than a little suspicious which greatly adds to my skepticism.
Thats my dropout armchair opinion. =]
I respect that you seem to know what you are talking about. Would you care to speculate at all as to why you feel there is value in the claims behind the technology(after saying which technology it is we are talking about here).
