I called and am on the list for the Coates open house and sent my itinerary. I have no illusions of what the news is, if any. I am very interested in what has transpired so far and was somewhat tongue in cheek on my last post. The mechanics of George's CRSV are nothing less than momentous. The correct use of carbon block material for the seals is something I have actually used and am impressed, to say the least, with the capabilities of the material. However, being a successful entrepreneur is just as dependent on navigating the business & financial landscape as it is creating a provable, viable concept and product. The process of 'learning the manufacturing uptake' for a foreign concept, for a unique product, is beyond most people's comprehension. This journey has literally taken decades. I am looking forward to seeing and touching and hearing what is to be presented.
