Not very impressive!

THE WHALE HAS SPOUTED
Now that the "whale has spouted", shall we throw some harpoons? Our experts say yes we should, mainly because the information above is far from adequate in explaining how the basic material described by Tom as "highly conductive polymers, ElectriPlast" is as conductive or more so than metals.

Tom implies he achieves the conductivity by grinding "something" into a powder which is added to the resin-based recipe and the result is a sort of plastic that conducts electricity like metal. What is that "stuff?" Merely grinding a highly conductive metal into a powder would bring us back to the same metal--wouldn't it?

If that were explained, then the drawings would be more useful as well and experiments could and would most likely be conducted with excitement. And, if ElectriPlast is more conductive than metals, does that also mean a smaller antenna could be assembled to do the job of its bigger metal version? Tom implies a yes!

I have always said the antenna of the future will most likely look nothing like the antenna of today -- if for no other reason, to accommodate the drastic technological evolution necessary to reach the goals for high-performance and low profile. If Tom have made some great breakthrough, bravo, but at the moment there are a lot more skeptics than believers. A bit more info can turn that around. Further, if Integral Technologies desires to feed at the capital-funding trough again, it will be much harder if essential technological disclosures are not made.

SURVIVING SCRUTINY
One of our "experts" in the group has a Ph.D. degree in Polymer Chemistry, headed up a leading company in the field and now does full time work for the US Navy as a consultant/contractor at the Navy Research Labs. The Navy is where there could be a lot of interest for such a polymer as well, but, our expert wants to be convinced first and remains skeptical about the conductive properties for now.

Perhaps Tom will be willing to share more with our experts and explain the better-than-metal process if permitted. Filing a patent is just the beginning and the work really begins for Tom to now convince others he has indeed made a breakthrough. Apparently Integral Technologies believes. So, stay tuned, folks--the "test of time" has commenced!
