For any newcomers to this thread, I recommend reading the next several parts from a NEW newsletter writer (Kathy Knight-McConnell)... Rhombic Corporation Symbol: NUKE Exchange: OTC:BB Shares outstanding: 12,394,000 Restricted shares: 9,894,000 Float: 2,500,000 (3,500,000 when private placement is completed) Shorts: Estimated at around 2 million by Mike Skerry Market Makers: FRAN, HRZG, PGON, SHRP, HILL, GVRC, NAIB, WEIN Incorporation took place in the state of Nevada on February 26, 1987, by the predecessor company which was acquired by Rhombic Corporation on November 21, 1994. According to Mike Skerry an in-house private placement of from one to three million float shares with some offshore investos is being negotiated for up to $1 million. On May 15, 1998-- Rhombic Corporation announced that the company is completing a $200,000 financing. News may be out as early as today!!! They hope to be fully reporting in 60-90 days as a step toward full listing on the AMEX. They also expect to report positive earnings of .05 to .10, for the 3rd quarter which begins in July 1998. In March 1998, Bruce Baron aggressively recommended purchase of Rhombic Corporation in his newsletter, PERCEPTION INVESTING. His one-year target price is $10.00 per share, with a $30.00 price target for two-years. Baron estimated, Rhombic should earn $1.00 per share in 1998. Projected earnings in 1998 (according to company) for P type diamond film and diamond grit is estimated at $9.5 million and $5 million for the IEC technology add up to projected earnings of $14.5 million in fiscal 1998.

Part 3: Other Practical Applications for IEC Technology Experimentation with fusion at university laboratories Analysis of mineral quality in the coal, cement and similar industries Exploration for minerals and oil Detection of non-metallic antipersonnel mines (land mines) Combustion and gasification Generation of electrical energy Detection of contraband at airports, bus stops, train stations and similar areas Until now neutrons have been extremely dangerous and difficult to generate and required the use of a nuclear reactor or a high powered particle accelerator to do the job and neutron analysis could only take place by utilizing the expert facilities of a very few specialised laboratories. The IEC unit produces neutrons more cheaply and safely than existing methods. Through Rhombic's wholly owned subsidiary, Rockford Technology Associates, the University of Illinois has licensed the technology to Daimler-Benz Aerospace (DASA) of Trauen, Germany, for which Daimler-Benz will pay a 3.2% royalty to Rhombic Corp. For the rights to develop, manufacture, and market the IEC technology to the world. This agreement provides Rhombic with a long-term royalty on all IEC sales in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, and New Zealand in the amount of 3.2% for each unit sold. Rhombic is estimating that they will receive $5 million in royalties over the next 12 months (which does not include the much larger prospective income from Rhombic's marketing rights in North America). The first units are expected to ship from Trauen in June 1998. The IEC units will be sold, depending on size and use, for between $60,000 and $150,000 each - a mere fraction of the cost of the nuclear reactors or particle accelerators now being used to produce neutron beams. Rhombic Corp. will retain all rights throughout North America and will be actively pursuing the sale of those rights. According to John Sved, an engineer with Daimler-Benz Aerospace, the IEC units are safe and easy to use which gives them an edge over other well established neutron sources. The neutron generating sources in use now contain radioactive gases such as Californium and have a risk of contamination from radioactive isotopes. With the IEC unit customers can avoid these risks because they are fueled by harmless deuterium, and the only waste is helium-3 gas, a hint of hydrogen and negligible traces of radioactive tritium. "A small IEC neutron generator could run for decades without creating enough radioactive waste to exceed minimum regulated levels," Sved says. "The machine could be completely consumed in a fire and there would be virtually no concern about escaping radiation." Daimler-Benz plans to remove the tritium from the spheres safely each time they are recharged with fresh deuterium.

Part 4: Forced Diffusion Diamond Process Rhombic Corporation holds Patent #5,597,762, covering the "Forced Diffusion" diamond technology and which was issued January 28th, 1997. The United States Patent Office received Rhombic's diamond patent application September 27th, 1994. Rhombic Corporation's doped negative type (N-type) diamond technology, often referred to as forced diffusion, has been successfully etched in a former Soviet Republic laboratory to create two functional integrated circuits. This breakthrough by Rhombic in successfully diffusing different elements into diamond film produces a diamond with electronic properties greatly superior to those of silicon, the material now used to make computer chips. This proprietary technology is theoretically so powerful that a computer chip now one inch square can conceivably be reproduced on the head of a pin, and operate hundreds of times faster than silicon. In addition, such N-type films are considerably more resistant to heat and radiation than silicon, extending indefinitely the life of electronic circuitry. This means not only ultra fast integrated circuits and chips, but also diamond diodes and switches, resulting in a complete revolution of today's computers. This is cutting edge, and projected by the company to be ready to go in 6 - 8 months. This technology will have a broad impact on the existing diamond film market, currently about $100 million and growing at a projected rate of 10 percent per year. Applications range from computer and TV screens to diamond tools and coatings for high-fidelity speakers. The total market for cutting tools worldwide in 1991 was $250 million, of which $102 million was diamond material. The projected sales of diamond electronics, currently about $6 million a year,is expected to reach $500 million by the year 2000. This market is by far the most dynamic in the diamond film industry. Rhombic Corporation has established ties with an International company, and is working on an agreement to dope white mined diamond with boron to see if the properties of the more economical white diamond can be modified to match that of mined blue diamond. In addition, Rhombic is pursuing agreements with other companies to develop applications based on material modification by the addition of impurities. The market for boron-doped diamond film for the first year is projected to be in excess of $30 million, with markets exploited by Drukker, DeBeers of Europe, and Norton Diamond of the United States. Nanophase diamond powders are a new material that was developed for the Russian military program. It is a diamond powder made up of very small pieces of diamond with a narrow distribution of sizes about four nanometers in diameter. Rhombic is developing a process to press and bind the nanophase diamond powder to form a hard material. The forced diffusion process can change the mechanical properties of diamond grit by boron doping, making the grit 10 to 15 percent harder than ordinary diamond grit. The market for diamond grit is approximately $70 million a year. With the release of the Patent "Field Enhanced Diffusion Using Optical Activation", Rhombic Corporation is preparing to establish its first manufacturing/laboratory site at Columbia, Missouri, to produce Positive (P) type diamond film, and to finalize the development of Negative (N) type diamond.

Part 5: By diffusing certain elements into the diamond interstices, Rhombic has already created a number of integrated N-type diamond circuits, and has immediate plans to produce diamond diodes and switches. Diamond is unique among all materials since it is both heat and radiation resistant, and is so electrically conductive that diamond chip speed is potentially a thousand times faster than silicon. Harder cutting tools and abrasives, diamond tv screens and computer monitors, sensors, bearings and radar are among a number of potential applications of doped diamond which Rhombic Corporation will be developing. The Nuclear Battery The nuclear battery, owned 100% by Rhombic Corporation, produces energy from the breakdown of unstable isotopes of a number of basic elements such as Krypton, Strontium, and Cesium. The battery's single purpose is to provide a generation or more of constant energy for both manned and unmanned space flights to nearby planets and eventually outer space. Diamond Flywheel Battery In May 1997, Rhombic Corporation acquired a method for storing large amounts of electrical energy for both portable and fixed applications. The acquisition, named "The Diamond Electromechanical Battery" with a patent application in Germany, is a specialized variation of the high-velocity flywheel technology for its first-time use of diamond layers as a flywheel reinforcement. Rhombic was selected to develop the diamond flywheel battery by a team of German and American inventors because of the company's intensive involvement in forced diffusion.
