I'm guessing not. Since Coates has always been a one man show, until Perkowski came along, I've never read or heard of where they were in contact with any sources like this, and I guess have never targeted government monies for development.
Makes me wonder why they have a board of directors. Can you name anything they've done besides an occasional small loan, to advance the company ? You'd think one of those Bozo's could have been trying to go for government funding or spreading the word about the technology.
I'd love to hear from George as to why some of those long timers are still on the board. Where's their worth ?
