Bruce Simpson is a hero. I hope the NZ government have calmed down a bit now, and stopped trying to shut him down! After all, he said no to the Iranian government.
His website is http://aardvark.co.nz/
Bruce simpson is a con man and a thief. Get your facts straight. He’s notorious for selling engines that never exist, and the customer having to chase Bruce to get their money back.
The forum at http://www.pulse-jets.com/
has known Bruce for well over 7 years. And in those 7 years, he’s pissed off and ripped off plenty of people.
You should at least TRY to balance the article with some facts you know.
You want a real hero and designer of engines contact people like Bruno Ogorelec, or Larry Cottril or Paul Skinner.
