Frankly, I am still very disappointed with this thread.

Most comments are hype. No intelligent comments about the technology.

I have the patents and am reviewing them. So far, I see both some positives and some negatives for REFR. I am a technologist and will not be providing free advice to this thread w.r.t to the technology.

I was hoping, however, that others would be interested in discussing how it works, what are the benefits and drawbacks, etc.

Unlike some of the other posters on this thread, since I am not a financial advisor, I am not recommending a position in this stock.

Let me ask a few questions:

1. If no electric current is applied to the window, will it be light or dark?

2. How much power is consumed per square foot when the window is dark? Light?

3. What voltage levels are required? Current? AC/DC?

4. What is the cost per square foot of glass? What is the cost per square foot for the glass alone on some of the office buildings that are being targeted? What percentage of this cost is materials, what percentage is labor?

Hmm... This might make a pretty good test question for an electrical engineering or engineering economics class.

I know I can ask the company. I can also read the patents. I have.

But has anyone else on this thread?
