When I first heard about Tilley's electric vehicle
driven by a mysterious charger that keeps the batteries perpetually topped, I
wanted to believe it was for real, and a manifestation of the "free
energy" that mankind is now learning to harness -- solar energy being the
most obvious example of extracting energy from a virtually inexhaustible
source.
I began this feature website of Tilley's technology with the intent of
giving adequate coverage for this phenomenal development.
As time progressed and I had interaction with Carl Tilley and his associate
Doug Littlefield, I began to see that they were less than ethical in their
dealings with me. I still remained hopeful that their technology was
sound, even as I grew less confident that the technology was theirs originally
to offer investors.
I still hope that they have something worth while in their black box, but I
am skeptical enough of their ethics that I am willing to give voice on this
forum for responsible claims of fraudulent activities by Carl Tilley.
Carl is encouraged to provide evidence to the contrary.

After writing the above, I put this exposé page on hold, pending hearing
back from Robert Kibbey, but my requests for confirmation were not returned.
With Walter Webb blowing whistle on the Tilley Foundation, I can no longer
withhold, but must contribute to the exposing of this for what it is: a
malicious scam operation by a professional con man.
