What a great story! This guy really had resources and knew how to use them! Facing a possible violation for taking all that silver for the battery, he went ahead and followed through. Now that takes courage!Way to go!

These are the kind of people that push the technological boundaries forward. Sadly, our current establishment discourages this kind of independent thinking, inventiveness, and creativity. People has to "conform" to the norm like mindless robots.

Mark- you are dead on with your comment. Back in the day, these guys went for it to make a difference. This guy is a hero on many levels to be so inventive and creative for a 38 year long record! Kudos to him and his associates who helped make this a reality!!
