I.N., I was criticizing the person reporting that Lev was claiming unusual "dangers" with cobalt, which I am almost sure Lev would not do, as I stated in said post. Why do you guys find it necessary to twist my words, I actually like Lev's gutsiness in trying to establish himself under the sun where the giants themselves fear to thread. Just because I recognize the fact that Lev is working against very formidable odds, does not mean that I criticize him, au contraire, I am taking my hat off to him and few other lesser known heroes of Yankee and American ingenuity. Right now I am involved with another "hero" trying against all odds (and he will succeed, IMHO) to do what the BCS and latter theories said could not be done, so I know quite well that Lev's problems, while formidable are surmountable. The problem with this thread is that it is setting up expectations that Lev is not willing to accept, and rightfully so. Zeev

I suppose one could argue that the focus on patent strength and competing technologies at the annual meeting was a tactic to divert attention from "when in the hell are you going to have orders in hand and be shipping batteries out the door (other than for sampling)" which is the issue that those from the SI thread here had in mind before they went. We already knew that they had an impressive portfolio of patents and what technology they were using and its supposed advantages. But what we didn't know is what we still don't know. Granted, the film was surely impressive from all accounts, but who doubted that they are a "for real" company. The questions remain of how soon they get to market and more importantly how successful they will be over the long haul. I'm saying this NOT to bash the company, just to reiterate that the proof will be in the pudding as they say, regardless of peeks or guesses about what is going on in the oven.
