Hi Patto, thanks for giving the opportunity to show my ignorance and to explain the project a little more.

Firstly I am primarily an investor - so my technical language is bound to be inadequate to someone who obviously knows more than me.

That being said, the cell that is at the core of all the products is not a battery - it just generates (produces) electricity The base cell doesn't store the electricity - that's why I said it wasn't a battery. That maybe a little technically naive or even unintentionally false, but as a layman I call the generator a cell and if it was able to store the electricity generated I would call it a battery. That's the way I was using those terms. I would be interested in what term you would use to describe the generator cell without the storage facility - but perhaps only if it was a G rated description, although I don't mind if you are insulting, abrasive or even defamatory.

As you pointed out - its a standard magnesium rod and the patented cathode material.

Yes we are doing a lot of marketing. We would like to sell some of our products.

The reason for the kickstarter campaign is to offer some limited early release product to those of our friends (myself included) who are interested and to other backers who would like to see the product. The European and Not for Profit sector models are not part of this campaign - we are making sure that no models are loss making, so this limited run is being sold at (I believe) 40% of the future RRP.
