I was one of the judges at the Intel science fair mentioned at the end 
of the story, and Mr. Wallace was one of my assigned students.  The kid 
has a lot of mechanical aptitude, that much is obvious.  The trick is to 
harness that enthusiam and ability to produce a useful scientist/
engineer rather than discouraging him and ending up with a crackpot 
tinkerer producing the next generation Orgonne Accumulator.
