Well, I think it's about time I post the follow up. I got this almost a week ago, but I figured I'd wait a little to let things cool down, and let them rationalize before they went google searching again to find something else. As you'll see, they caught on and got kinda pissed. I reference a forum in my respone to theirs (I assumed they found this one) but I don't believe that they did, because when you search my name a totally different, non related forum pops up, and I think they got their info from there. Either way, if they find/found this forum, I don't care, and it doesn't look like they're trying to flame anyone on here, so I don't think we have to worry about that.
The first part is their response to the message I previously posted. After that is my response to theirs. I haven't had a reply since, and honestly I think that's a good sign. I hope they did realize their faults and are taking action to correct them. Take it for what it is, and tell me what you think on how I handled the whole situation. Sometimes I tend to speak my mind even if I don't necessarily have good things to say. Constructive criticism is welcome. Oh, and I think it goes without saying that you probably shouldn't contact them like I told you tohttp://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
I know it's long, but it's definately not boring.

You've never seen the NPS technology working on an engine yet you attack us because it works differently to conventional principles. Are you a fruitcake psychic or magician?
Intelligent people that don't agree with a new concept are constructively objective or seek proof to determine it works before reaching any conclusion. Whereas stupid or disturbed people knock a new concept that challenges their way of thinking because they don't have the mental capacity to comprehend it.
It appears UWP's pledge to, [quote] Enable each student to become broader in perspective, more literate, intellectually more astute, ethically more sensitive and to participate wisely in society as a competent professional and knowledgeable citizen [unquote] has failed with you but you have the power to fix yourself.
Focuss your energy on overcoming your bigotry and becoming a better person instead of attacking people or technology you don't understand.
If you continue to send us this dribble we'll take the matter further. Chancellor David Markee and your parents would be interested to know about your disturbing behaviour and how you're wasting that fine education at UWP.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Howdy,
Everything I say from here on out will be serious so that you can be assured that I mean every word that I say. I know it's long, but it will behoove you to read it through.
I'm glad I got a response, really.
First, I would like to say that I'm suprised how much research you put into that email. I'm guessing you were so aggrivated that you wanted to find out who this "absolutepressure" guy was, and found the forum. I'm fully aware that anything I put on the internet can be seen by anyone in the world, so I'm not at all suprised that you found out who I was and where I go to school, but I am suprised that you wasted all that time to research the school's pledge instead of seeing if anything I said had any backing. Let me assure you, it does.
Second, don't be so quick to assume that I'm wasting my education, or that people would care that I called you out on falsified information, especially my parents. Contradictory to what the internet may lead you to believe, I'm no longer in a leadership position (due to personal time conflicts), so you can't go to the Chancellor claiming that someone representing the school is doing an ill job of it, I'm just a regular student now. And even if you did an additional several hours of research, made several expensive phone calls, and blew away a good chunk of your day and found out what my real name is, I have a very common last name, so looking up my parents phone number would take exponentially longer. Let's say you do all of that and taddle on me, I'm a young adult, my parent's don't scold me anymore. So you see, your threats have fallen on deaf ears.
-Just as an aside, if you do infact make an attempt to contact any of my family or friends, I will consider that stalking, and not only you, but the company you represent will see what will happen if I "take the matter further." There, now the threat count is one me, two you. I have one more left (an eye for an eye sort of thing, and it'll work well with the contents of this email).
Third, the bigot issue. I'm assuming that either you only read on the forum what you wanted to read, or only read part of it. If you read all of it, you'd see that there is a point where I say "I think that their product would work very well in a controlled environment, and in theory (except for the valve timing issue I addressed earlier). However, I believe that there are too many uncontrollable variables in the environment for this to be a reliable (or reliably provide a lot of power) system. For example; on Monday, it was 76 degrees. On Wednesday, it was 28 degrees. You would have needed to fush out the system and put antifreeze in there. But, then the temperature warmed up again, so the system would be at less than optimum. Even just differences between night and day would have a large affect in some areas." Is that the intelligent contemplative remark that you over looked?
Along those same lines, I believe it's a little hypocritical of you to call me a bigot when you make comments such as "Kilowattpower the new shock treatment for drivers that can't get it up with Horsepower." Or "Who needs Horsepower our cars run on Light-bulb-power."
Fourth and finally, the reason I sent the message.
I wanted it to seem like someone truly misinterpreted the intent of your site due to the large amount of falsified information and lack of calculated or experimental backing. Ok, so I failed in that respect and you saw through it, oh well. However, you still should've got a key issue addressed in my message. YOU ARE OUTRIGHT WRONG. Don't be mad at me because you misunderstand the material, that would be like me getting upset at a professor because I didn't get all of the homework right because I misunderstood a concept. You need to consult a qualified engineer, physicist, or general scientist to go through your website and correct all of the false information. Why? Kilowatts IS a valid (and preferred) measurement of ANY power, from steam turbines to funny cars to scooters to light bulbs, anything that does work over a specified amount of time. Also, Torque = Force * Distance = kg*m (assuming gravity is present) = lbf*ft (sometimes notated as lbf-ft) = N*m. Ther is no division in the general torque equation. Still don't belive me? Go to Ferrari's website, click cars, today, 8 cyl, F430, tech specs, scroll down, and boom, exactly congruent with what I just said, and what I said in my previous message. There's no doubing that Ferrari know's what they're talking about. The thing about vaccum pressure is true to. If you talk about absolute pressure (saying atmospheric is 14.7psi implies absolute, not gauge pressure) you cannot go lower than 0 and get -8. Just like when you talk about absolute temperature, there is no -Kelvin or -Rankin.
The reason I am so adamant about this is because you are teaching people who don't know any better completely incorrect information. You'd be upset with your children's kindergarten teacher if she was teaching them the alphabet in the wrong order, wouldn't you? Or that 3+2=32?
I challenge you to correct the information on your site, provide mathematical backing behind the theories, and post dyno charts of before and after. If you do not do so within two months, I may take the matter further. I'm sure that the OCBA of South Australia would be interested in hearing that a company is in violation of their Misleading Advertising law which states "Misleading advertising not only is against the law but will antagonise potential customers. The simplest way to avoid this situation is to tell the truth about the products you are advertising." And goes on to say "Do not make any misleading statements." Clear as crystal. There, that's two for two.
You've ignored my initial intentions once, so please, if you are not going to address the issues of falsified information, do not respond, because I don't want to read about something else that was dug up to change the topic again. Also, do not attempt to reply with another threat, this time accusing me of libel, because if it's true, it's not libel, and it's true that you are advertising false information.
I never leave a question unanswered, so incase you're still wondering, given the choice between a fruitcake, psychic, and a magician, I'd have to choose the magician, and the straight jacket would be much appreciated so I can practice my act. Just send it to the Platteville Post Office, Attn: absolutepressure.
Thanks for reading
