Any way. I will be posting an update video soon and will voice my opinion on all this interesting information/stuff soon...

Russ, I deeply apologize for that. I am extremely uncomfortable with all this sudden attention I am receiving. It seems that misquoting and malicious fabrications about are the norm. Poor me, Right. Anyway, I'm not yet sure who my friends are so forgive me please. I enjoy logical well considered technical criticism so don't be gentle in that regard. One thing I want to be sure you understand, I just can't tell you how we do our process. I have responsibilities to my business and my co-owner.
I see that Sterling just started to attack John for all his fraud. One thing he says is not true. When you get your popper, I don't believe you will have any trouble procuring the gas. My midsize tank of premix cost $1700 but you don't want premix anyway. Premix is not accurate to more that 3 or 4% and more expensive.
To start out with get high grade lab bottles of each gas, make up the septums as I told you, and buy used regulators. Using the multiple syringe method you can go quite fast and will be much more accurate than with premix. Be sure to establish a routine to open fill and close. I once let a container of premix cracked open all weekend. Monday morning bye bye $1700. Generally, You can open the main valve and just close it again as the pressurized gas in the regulator is sufficient for several charges. Xenon is quite expensive but one lab bottle of it will last forever as its percentage is so small. I buy from Prexaire but I'm sure airgas will be just as competitive.
I'm sure you know this but keep careful records. I simply use my web cam to capture and later transcribe into notes. If you don't you will be lost in no time. When you start charting power it's best to setup excel with the formulas. As smart as you guys are it's probably child's play for you. You will discover that different mixes (and individual gasses ) will result in different outputs and a very deep dark secret about helium. This is especially true when considering the cross over voltages (waste) that you will capture.
Any how. Back to the subject,
We don't plan on you giving us the "secret" what we do plan on is you giving us a kick in the but when we start heading in the wrong direction.. A yes or no some times is a big help.. Well when it's a honest yes or no.
Any way. Hope to have an update video out soon.
Also, paxair seems to be high on price. What size cylinders are those you have?
We plan on trying the mix as stated to start with. Once we have some success we will mix gas to the pree mix and use it as a control.
Also, what's the chances of us blowing up the aluminum cylinder if mixed with the " correct" mix???
Syringe we will be using to transfer the mix. And or mix
Our own.
Thanks, ~Russ
