My foggy memory was that is was a technology from Russian or Eastern European that was looking for a commercial application. The college research had produced a small glass demo panel that instantly shed ice when the polarity of the ice molecules was changed with an electrical pulse. Torvec was going to be the distributor or final developer of the tech for a full sized windshield. I think they got as far as a test windshield, but then the inventor wanted a better deal or he wasn't happy with the progress or the windshield was not practical as far as cost and durability or something. There was never a public explanation of why it all went south, only that the inventor went away. At least Torvec seemed to somehow make some development money on the deal, but it was a Vanguard rocket as far as a breakthrough product for Torvec. If you were a boomer child and watched the Navy's first attempt to launch Explorer I, you remember the spectacular 'launch.'
