That would be Allen Vaughn. He is/was on the big list. All your information is correct. Got into a couple of conversations with him way back about it.

Allen is a wealth of information. One the old-timers in terms of they've had 7's longer than most have had a license or been born! Ranks up there with Howard Coleman, Gordon Monsen <sp>, Kevin Wyumm, and Jim LaBreck.

Evil, Allen tools around with the sucker on continously and the results are more than 'single use."

My "single use" description was in reference to performance. An AC system could certainly be used continuously, but it would absorb more power than it produces.

While I am sure it has been done, I have very little faith that it was successful.

Evil,

It will take someone riding in Allen's car to confirm. Now since Allen is not on this forum, perhaps some of his rowdy friends will confirm? What was the shop in GA? Allen is on first name basis with Downing. Anyone else out there?

Evil, I tell you it works. Pop on the big list and shout out to Allen about it or I'll get his email for you. But I don't need to convince you. Believe what you want. If I didn't see it and experience it, I'd be with you.

Regards,
Tony
