[snip] Many of us suspected this all along - that the technology is real but the
implementation is ... not just premature, but closer to an abortion. [/snip] I would also put the MAHG in this same category , IMHO the enabling geometry is self destructing in both cases. I don't know if the solution is to seek other alloys of harder and higher temp metals that are capable of assuming this geometry or seek throw away geometries that constantly reform like bubble fusion or possibly gaseous equivalent of bubble fusion in a Papp or SPICE engine.
