2/16/09 Unit testing of critical components of the K3 Promoter have been underway since December. The tests have validated several key components, and eliminated several materials under consideration. We are continuing to explore high strength metals and plastics and refining the final design based on the results from unit tests. We are on track to manufacture experimental prototypes of the final design by spring or early summer.
