Looks like a cool project.
One note to entrepreneurs using Kickstarter, or creating any slide presentation for potential investors: Take the time to spell check your slides.
Tim Sefton (creator of this project), if you happen to be reading this, here are some notes that may help you make your presentation more professional...
"One thing.. The Sterling engine is about 10% more efficent then the gasoline engine, but strugles with changes in suden acceleration - like what is needed for cars."
If you are the author of the presentation, you may want to correct the four errors: efficient, than, struggles, and sudden. Also misspelled is "temperature" (on the previous slide),
Not a big deal to me, but some potential investors will absolutely be turned off by that.
- colanderman 15y agoNot to mention it's "Stirling", and not "Sterling".
- GigabyteCoin 15y agoThis. Maybe it's just because I am a web designer and lover of the English language, but when a company's blog URL looks like this: http://volodesigns-sterlingproject.blogspot.com/ http://volodesigns-sterlingproject.blogspot.com/ a) free site b) a dash? c) mispelled stirling? I get just a tad anxious.
- Volodesign 15y agoAppreciate the feedback. I'm going to have to give that typist a tough tongue lashing !
- jacquesm 15y agoOne of the first things you learn when you run a company is that you own your mistakes in public. In other words, it doesn't matter who f'd up, you own it and you can't pass the buck. Regardless of who did it, you should have proofread it, or you should have had someone else proofread it. And even after that any mistakes would still be yours to own in public. If it was in jest and you were the typist then apologies for responding in a serious way.
- Volodesign 15y agoYes, I'm the typist - just trying to lighten the mood a bit.
