ReGenX generator / Perepiteia

I guess what I don't understand is why it is such an uphill battle for these guys. The potential value of this kind of technology is so immense that I have a hard time understanding why the scientific community isn't falling all over themselves to figure out how it works.

It's an uphill battle because they were/still are learning about how it works (the principles involved) and the only application is currently in the form of that motor that hasn't yet been shown to do any useful work. If they put it into an EV or power generator (for example), and it works better than the motor it replaces, then you have a demo which is infinitely more compelling. I agree the potential seems immense, and in contrast to the conspiracy tech failures, this one is actually documented with duplication and study encouraged.

What is everybody's beef with Tesla, anyway? Sounds to me like it is taboo for scientists to take his work seriously.

Tesla had is own way of thinking about electricity and magnetism, developed from an incredible intuition (and apparently 'Confederation' help). The explanations he provided are still not very congruent with scientific thought (some kind of foundational E/M field or ether), yet the devices built from that understanding are undeniable and serve us very practically today. Dollard is one of the few that seems to understand where Tesla was coming from. Bottom line is that revolutionary discoveries require conventional treatment in their description in order to be seriously considered. People understand phenomena through conventional concepts.
