Thanks to James Thomas for pointing out a new video on the AlienScientist YouTube channel in which the host, Jeremy Rys, discusses the Thunderstorm generator and makes a claim that the invention of Malcolm Bendall is very close to a patented invention.
A curious thing about his claim is that he does not name the patent, nor the inventor, just shows a few images from the patent. Rys just states that the inventor is a roommate that the had when he was in college in around 2009, and wants to keep the person’s name private for now.
