Oz will surrender monkey itself out of any hi tech renewable GDP dividend requiring guvmint kick start. The anode sat still on the shelf freshly coated, dry and still in Thailand, a monument to Australian ingenuity and Illywhackers. If someone can recognise the opportunity and perform due diligence on dendrite resolution, there might be a future for the tech. Unfortunately the current management didn't have the skill, experience or knowledge to take full ownership of the technology evolution required to mature the concept to profitability. The gaps were grouted with delight. Delighted. ....and for old times sake, Rosie the Riveter for those wanting a clear view of an electrode... https://youtu.be/8QFRSF7kDuI?feature=shared
