Dynex has brought the technology to the proof-of-concept phase, in which virtual modelling of the âoeair-sealingâ principle looks promising enough to get to work on the real thing.

So, they haven't gone beyond a computer simulation of this? Yet,...

Weâ(TM)ve reached the point where we need to secure corporate backing to push the project through the development stage towards international commercialisation,
