Mr. Tabor’s devices have been highly commended by Prof. Blackest of London’s Imperial College and one of Britain’s top scientists who has stated that the British National Research Corporation I prepared to develop both systems.

Mr. Tabor is devices convert 16 percent of the energy of the sun’s rays into mechanical and electrical power.
