One more and I'll try to leave it in peace:

Kevin, The price of $100 per square foot is absolutely bogus. ... The company denies that price makes any sense. Numbers like $15 or $17 per square foot are more likely. ... Hankuk has announced making film and their stated price for glass with film already on it is $400 per square meter or $37 per square foot."

So sayeth the Binkster.

But now here's reality and a price list for skylights, one of the most elementary possible applications:

spd-systems.com

24" x 36" = $1390
24" x 48" = $1840
24" x 60" = $2290

A little arithmetic reveals that the price of all three sizes of skylight window is a nearly constant $230 per square foot. The fact that the price per area is nearly constant implies that the overhead is either almost nil, or an inseparable part of the consumer cost of SPD.

$230 per square foot. What happened to Hankuk's $37, Bink? If anything it now seems Lawrence and Asensio were TOO LOW with their $100 estimate for production costs.

And they wonder why REFR gets no respect from the real money.
