Jeff and wm, Here's John Curtis' summary of the interview from the Yahoo thread. Enjoy! messages.yahoo.com <<The interviewer started off by introducing Lev. Lev then went on to describe, generally speaking, some of the applications the product is now being found in. Submarines, consumer products, and that it could go into PDA's, Laptops, etc. He also stated the product was environmentally safe, and stated it was certified for land-fill disposal as it's non-toxic. He stated they're now out talking to institutions, and the media. He was asked about VLNC's recent acquisition (Telecordia's patents). He was asked about VLNC's leading clients. Lev stated the cellphones, Quantum, "a lot of military applications, with the batteries tested down to 4000 feet in the ocean..." He "thinks we've have an opportunity to dominate the market....and can make a very low cost battery..." Lev was also asked about his background. Lev's an electrical engineer, a "techie..." He designed computers "in the early days before chips did all the work..." He then went on to do a demonstration, wherein he plugged a battery into a small lightbulb, then cut it in half, and then cut the piece still attached to the light (which was still light--although you couldn't really see it from the video) in half again. And it still worked! That picture is worth a thousand words. Now....Lev....go do that same demo on CNBC tomorrow! HEH! Highlow >>
