It can be noted that the zirconia used by Arata, et al to stabilize the active alloy, has a high dielectric constant, especially in smaller geometry, and is about 6 times higher that quartz, for instance, although far less than the king of dielectrics (barium titanate). Wonder what would happen if the active Ni-Pd alloy were to be stabilized by BaTiO3? Those of us who have followed the EEStor saga - (lots of disappointment there) can appreciate how hard it is to get a fairly straightforward technology into production. Could be "any day now ..." for EEStor :) Jones
