Sounds like a nice kool-aid dispenser.

What does he mean by "gone though"? US Patent application publication is 18 months from submission, and on average takes 2-5 years for issue depending on the examiner. The inventor also has priority on the claims by filing date due to first-to-file, so once its filed it is protected IP. There's no reason not to show his most ardent supporters design details of the most important system on the machine unless he hasn't even submitted those patents. As someone with decades of rotor design experience myself, this is one of the "legitimate engineering concern" areas for me.
