I have been following this company for a few years. They are local to me, so when I was changing careers a yr ago I looked at applying, but went for something with a little more stability. At this stage the company is mostly academic. Run by a few geniuses and highly funded by VC's. Seems like they do a lot of really cool work though. I am curious to see where they will be in a few more years.

Not to mention the fact that the 21st century isn't a great time to be developing new ways to burn fossil fuels, insofar as gathering grant money, venture capital, tax breaks and political support are concerned.

I got the impression they got DARPA funds to develop a diesel generator. You never know with some explicit military requirements. I'm just happy to see dev monies go into rotary. Probably down the drain, but what the heck.
