You should know that by now. Next he'll say a fluid bearing turbo has no break in period either :P

One what? One person who knows more about it than you? In this case there is two.

Damn that cheap professor. He used to make us revive his engine coolant from his car.

BTW isn't it sebacic acid? Also, I understand they are close, but if you run them through a mass spec. I guarantee completely different molecular structures. Yes I know they're both alkali metals but it doesn't mean that when they make a compound the compounds have the same chemical properties as well as structural integrities. But with out stepping on toes, I'll stick to my g12 and you can stick to your GM stoof

And another note, changing one element in your solution won't warrant a patent. There's got to be much more involved (excluding process) to allow the patenting of two such similar ideas! I've been going through the patent process for the last 4 years. I'm very well aware that in this country it requires much more.

the faster you come to that realization...we'll be in the same boat :P

I never admit to knowing more....I only admit to understanding better.

...yeah, like the Radiator Manufacturers' Association.
