Nothing is certain here, and anything is possible, but imo, they really feel they have something that can be built upon, and are not out to pull wool over anyone's eyes.
Thomson had also stated that an electrode immersed in a fluid insulating medium (an experimental analogy to a body in ether-filled space), at “...sufficiently high frequency”, would cause a gravitation of gases all around toward the electrode, but that the general opinion (of he and his European colleagues) was that it was “out of the question” that such frequencies could be reached. This last opinion was soon to be disproved by a close follower and admirer of Thomson’s work. In reiteration, another Thomson—J.J. Thomson—had claimed to have mathematically developed the theory of moving tubes of force (Phil. Mag, xxxi [1891], p. 149). For his Recent Researches in Electricity and Magnetism (1893, p. 13), his hypothesis was the “the aether is a storehouse of mechanical momentum”, but was this correct? Isn’t it more likely that the “storehouse” of “mechanical momentum” is in “ponderable matter” which reacts with the ether?
According to the later researches and publishings of J. J. Thomson 4, he had mathematically developed the theory of moving tubes of force. Two years later5, Thomson declared that “...the aether is a storehouse of mechanical momentum”. Tesla, in his prior lecture6, had mentioned the tubes of force and disclosed some of his discoveries concerning the ether and momentum Tesla had stated that all his inventions were created in furtherance of his “electric flying machine”7, which he had partially designed before coming to America, carefully carrying the plans under his arm when he arrived on the ship in 1883.

Warning...I think this is all BS, and if proven correct today, I will feel as If I am somehow "smart enough" to have known ahead of time "what is BS and what is not".

Ok, watched it and i am sorry to say that we the skeptics were correct. The demonstration did not prove anything.
The conclusion was basically "we get out 1/3rd of the energy we put in, plus work so that the conlusion is 108% efficiency". You must have faith since there is no way of measuring the work done by the rotor.
99,9% debunked, fake, hoax, call it what you wish. I seriously doubt anything will come out of this. If something comes, they did a really really terrible job in proving it.

Well, thank you TarzanBeta!
It's a double for us both then, as that is probably the nicest reply i've ever had - so we're both doing ok then!
