Notshir...I cannot say I know enough about all the properties of Liquidmetal to say what all future uses can be. I will say I was very excited to see the patent put into Crucible (the partnership with Apple) to produce large quantities of sheets of Liquidmetal. I had visions of using it for sheet metal applications like airplanes, automobiles, submarines, ships, armor of all types, etc...

I can say aluminum fatigues over time (expands and contracts) causing eventual failure. It is why on some rare occasions we have seen commercial jets "lose their top" - literally peel back in flight - scary (good thing it is rare as they check continuously for fatigue).

My understanding of Liquidmetal is you do not get this kind of expansion/contraction like the large temperature shifts airplanes endure.

So yes...there could be lots of potential uses.

I think us shareholders would like to see something tangible NOW to create revenue - pre-orders on products seems like a good way to do this. It would not take many pre-orders to double current revenue or even surprise all and eliminate the need for future financing (really wouldn't take much...5000 pre-orders at $1000...is $5 million...just as an example).
