GREAT to see engineer Gallagher has the PROVEN AOT working. Previous issues resolved. From the latest 10Q filing

Re-testing of the AOT began in July and the dead short condition that had developed during the demonstration was not present. Various tests were conducted to control variables and identify possible reasons for the arcs and short circuits. We ran tests to isolate debris, plate spacing, alignment of grid pack, presence of oil and presence of the pressure vessel. The best results obtained with the new stack were when the stack had been cleaned, assembled in a hanging position and was outside of the vessel.

For comparison the old stack was tested in a similar manner, and, by chance, arcs were observed near insulated parts. The stack was inspected where the arcs were witnessed, and damaged insulation was found. It seems likely these locations failed during the demonstration and led to the short circuits.

Testing of grid screens in isolation showed the ability to achieve much higher voltages.
