  Lonnie Johnson is brilliant. The super-soaker may have the name recognition, but he invented thin-film barriers used in every lithium ion battery you&apos;ve ever used. He made nuclear power safer. He created radar absorption tiles for stealth aircraft. And he&apos;s still the sort of person you could chat over coffee with. I love this guy.

  Lonnie was a regular customer at Egghead Software in Buckhead, GA. in &nbsp;the early 90s and he would ask me, tons of questions about software and hardware. &nbsp;I later realized that he helped me to learn more about the products we sold than any of our marketing material. After I learned who he was, he became a hero. :-)

  A little bit more light on the technical side than usual. Overall, I would consider this concept as the holy grail of energy recovery. I hope it works out.
