[0] Apparently not. No doubt you are correct. Just imagine the great contribution to science if he did as I understand NASA is struggling to fund even one Next Generation Telescope

So not only are you blaming him for something he hasn't yet done, but it'll be done at a time when even himself will have been dead for decades?
Not that I'm defending the guy.

The descriptions of the
bi-ION® molecule
are very vague
Zero white papers are mentioned.
Zero patents [bi-ION] are mentioned. Older patents for solar technology are mentioned though.
Searching for news, outside their own website, there are few, after 2017 from major outlets.
Sorry. For me this sounds like another Theranos.

Once you get them all it will be a snap!

"nanoFlowcell® electric drive" - sounds a bit too much like the Nanotainer.

After all the Nikola trucks are going to save the world for transportation so now we just need the same for cars.

I work with an electrical engineer and he's learning software development in the field as he goes.
I often work with him, and am teaching him C++. It can be challenging because there are things he needs to know by certain deadlines, and he's got about 2 hours worth of stamina for a lesson at any given time.
He knows a little C, still new to classes, understands pointers (sort of), gets static members to the point where he wished he knew they existed in previous endeavors of his.
I have to teach him C++ templates and avoid STL containers because I've only got two hours to convey the fundamentals.
Also he's in Eastern Europe right now, and I'm in North America, just to up the difficulty setting a bit.

You might suggest he peruse Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo. Its a little dated now ( © 2000), but takes the position that the STL is the foundation of C++ programming, so it introduces STL concepts like vectors very early. It's available as a PDF here: Accelerated C++ Programming.pdf | DocDroid
Someone really ought to persuade them to produce a second edition, updated for a newer C++ version.
I'd also recommend Justin Turner's C++ weekly channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs3KjaCtOwSZ2tbuV1hx8Xz-rFZTan2J1 His more recent episodes tend to get quite technical, but some of the early ones explain C++ features quite clearly, with examples. For example, there's quite a few episodes covering lambdas, which might help clear up some of the confusion surrounding that particular topic.

LOL! I just recommended that very book to him this morning.

It's a classic, but as I said a little dated. Probably the biggest things are the inclusion of auto type deduction and ranged for loops. Both of which reduce typing, if nothing else. I'd have to look up how to write a loop using a fully declared iterator as the control variable, as opposed to either an auto or a ranged for.

how do you teach him? through online meeting such as Zoom?![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)
diligent hands rule....

We use a combo of remote desking w/ anydesk and phone. zoom is not so great because he's in a remote area without great broadband.

I don't know, but this seems like a loose-loose situation.
good luck.

He has kept up so far, so I have some faith.
He had to call it now, but when he's ready for the next round, so am I.
