    HB, we were so busy at Poseidon's booth with the new Cis-Lunar Mk VI that I forgot to ask.

    I was speaking with Bob Hollis, founder of Oceanic and he did say that one of their Oceanic regulators partially does some slightly odd thing similar to that via pressure related to dead space....and perhaps Poseidon's new deal just takes it to it's logical conclusion.

    We hear they are trying to see if they can patent it, if so, fine, if not, they have to build so many of them that they can sell enough before it gets copied.

    "They discussed with us that the technology is simplistic, in execution and inexpensive to produce."

    But, I bet just becuase it is "revolutionary" they will charge an arm and a leg.

    I had a conversation with the former North American distributor last month and he said he had not heard anything new. His original statement was that the manufacturer was not sure it could even be patented...if not, they had to make a huge quantity and sell them real fast before they were copied, so he made it seem as if the patenting issues was a holdup problem.

    Sounds like the 100 mile per gallon carburator that the government, oil companies and auto makers were keeping secret.
