Pre-Order IT (Ginger)

[DealSpreeDotCom]

Just posted this, I found it on News.com.

"If you're looking to buy "Ginger," the mysterious device from inventor Dean Kamen, look no further than Amazon.com. The leading e-tailer is offering customers the opportunity to pre-order the invention, even though the device doesn't have a price and, frankly, no one even knows what it is." More...

The common speculation is that Ginger is a scooter powered by a sterling cycle. Confidence lies in it being a device of transportation as there are two versions, one of which is nicknamed Metro. I was at Dean Kamen's home 1/6 and let me tell u, this guy has got some serious loot. Holy house. he hosts a robotics competition called First, where schools & companies join to form a team. i'm a team member, and at the kickoff he had a party at his house. i got real liquored up & met the competition. the guy has 2 helicopters and a hangar as part of his house. if u even care 2 see: FIRST

Um...what's the "hot deal" to this post?

Heck, they don't even describe it....bunch of hoo-ey I tell you.

It's a trike, patent info here:

It can't be a scooter. He's been quoted as saying that all of this secrecy is necessary, because the competitors to this product are big enough to stop it from happening if they find out what it is. The patent is full-disclosure, which would completely negate any kind of secrecy.

My $.02, it does have to do with a stirling cycle engine, but in a different way. A few months ago, he was giving one of his speeches and he said that within 2 years, you will be able to purchase a suitcase-sized device for around $1,500 that would provide enough power for an entire household. He's making an efficient personal power generator.

This could be considered a hot deal.


Oh, and I was at his house on 1/6 also, as I have been for the past 5 years.
