Franz, What are they talking about? MHTXE is not owned by Motorola, is it? Is Motorola saying that they have their own research going on at Los Alamos? I can't imagine that all these guys are in the same lab, working on the same project, and not talking to each other. Now I am beginning to wonder if MHTXE has anything unique or not. Do you know anything about the MO/MHTXE relationship? Relax a bit - basically, Bob Hockaday had been a nuclear energy research scientist at Los Alamos and left (initially under an entrepenurial leave of absence) to pursue his lifelong dream of developing a fuel cell. He no longer has a direct connection to the national labs. Manhattan Scientifics and Hockaday's work have been demonstrated to Motorola. The MOT announcement is referring to another effort at Los Alamos, which is not related to MHTXE. Too bad for MOT, since MHTXE has a working prototype. I do not know why MOT has not chosen to partner with MHTXE; I can only speculate that MOT wanted too much from MHTXE and was unwilling to share the bounty equitably. When Bob visited Kodak in December, I observed that he had two Nokia phones in his prototype holsters. One prototype device was working and we were impressed with his presentation and with Jack Harrod's business acumen. There are still probably a couple of years of work for Hockaday and his team to have a product device, however, the concepts are protected by Hockaday's patents and his hard won know-how. The time for this technology has arrived. Cheers, Keith
