Is the paper peer reviewed? If so, then there must be something right about it. If not, and it is just a white paper he is throwing out on the internet, then these kinds of problems should shut him down. Thank you for the points. I was never saying I believe him, or the OP, but like any space-movie junky, I would love to fantasize about worm holes and warp drives and the like even if the scientist/engineer in me refuses to believe any of it. Sometimes we intentionally wear blinders for the entertainment value.The dead giveaway is in his misapplication of the Wien Equation in section 6 of the paper. Naturally, he doesn't show a picture of the spectrum as that would flag his duplicity but some how someone got a picture of it. It's a line spectrum. The power in the spectrum is orders of magnitude less than what he calculates as his calculation is for a near black body radiator. It's also been pointed out that his calculated 8106 K is appreciably hotter than the sun's surface 5800K. So he's got something in a box on a table in a lab much hotter than the sun.
Think whatever you like. Just don't send the man money!
