#3 Go to the article. Scroll down to the photo of the machine she developed. Then scroll down a good deal further to the ohoto of the lab where the testing is claimed to have taken place.

#9 It's not clear if was a good idea that simply couldn't be made to work, or a fraud from the beginning. I suspect the latter.
