Interesting development. "MEO Products, which has been involved in the distribution and development of technologies for the armed services for over 10 years, is also involved in this Phase II engine development effort."

I asked the Company for how much $ the deal was for and how much military batteries cost.

Email response:

Cannot give you $ amount. But according to the Military rep. that on a 3 day field assignment each military person has from 4 to 10 lithium Ion sticks at $400 to $500 each and they return with 1 or 2.

That means, according to this rep, that each member of a squad has thrown away between $800 to $4000 worth of batteries! A five person squad is spending $4000 to $20,000 in three days. Mind boggling.

These batteries are heavy, too. So they don't want to risk being slowed down hauling useless equipment back to base.

Even the Pentagon has to see the value of the genie!

Let's say the Pentagon can pick up the Genie at the low low price of $20,000 each (figuring a toilet seat being, what was it, $500?). The genie would pay for itself in maybe 15 days?

Granted we don't have exact numbers here, and I'm sure the Genie would be sold for less than that (or AM I sure?), but one can easily see what a no brainer this is both logistically (less weight going in and coming out) and financially (ongoing cost of batteries vs. one time cost of Genie)

Whew, I hope Cyclone is getting a percentage of the sale price. LOL
