You talk about operating on a shoestring etc. and you are making my point. If the company has a valuable catalyst then a quick way to improve cash flow would be to license the catalyst. John Bordynuik claimed it even made the Blest machine operate much better.

And he claims processor #3 is far ahead of the competition and if that is true even if he licenses the catalyst he still has a competitive advantage but the company gets another revenue stream in addition to potential processor sales.

In the alternative if the catalyst and machines can not do what he says then not licensing the catalyst and keeping the machines idle makes sense.
