Looks to be very encouraging despite the acknowledgement on the site
that they still have some engineering hurtles to overcome. When they
get a flight ready test package put together I'll be real curious as to
how they do the final integration and structural installation, as well
as powering it.

Power it from the onboard APU.

Yeow!


Thanks for the updated information.

In the last year CHOMF has been selling between $5 and $20, and is
currently $7/share. It looks like a good investment to me.

Yeah, that much I had figured out....what I was meaning is, are the
drives going to be run off of some high voltage AC or DC or run from
already common 28 VDC or 115/400 3p that the APUs can already develope.
