i found it interesting that the patent describes taking the alumina and PET materials down to -150 degrees C! i'm no expert, but i doubt seriously that's a common practice. that's very cold.
maybe that's the magic fairy dust everyone has missed -- the use of extremely cold temperatures to modify the property of the materials in order to make this seeming violation of physics work.
i've been following eestor for years now and i don't think they've done it, but i do find the mention of ultra cold temperatures used in manufacturing very, very, very interesting. is the low temperature something that would have been done in weir's previous career in hard drives?
as others have said, r. weir is either one of the boldest liars out there or he's an extremely shrewd inventor.

Weren't the cold temperatures necessary to embrittle the soft materials like aluminum so that they could be pulverized to the appropriate consistency? That seems like a fairly standard method of processing soft materials.
