“Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door.”–Ralph Waldo Emerson
It’s been years since the basic mousetrap was invented–and despite all of the attempts–it hasn’t been improved upon.
Today, there are a lot of people trying to build “aviation mousetraps” (alternatives to liquid combustibles)–but so far, nothing beats the tried and true ones. Like the classic mousetrap–liquid combustibles WORK, they are relatively CHEAP–they are ENERGY DENSE, and well-suited to their mission.
Perhaps one has to be “of a certain age” to recall Rube Goldberg–his fanciful cartoons employed difficult “solutions” to simple perceived problems. Rube Goldberg seems to be alive and well, and trying to work in the aviation industry.
