RE:RE:Plasma torchesPYR is not going after the generic torch market, they are going after areas they can patent like iron ore pelletization and maybe from there more value adds that they can resell to the same customers. The moat is the patents + client relationships.

The competition would not be other torch houses, it would be a better technology, which I have not found. Remember that this is only one of the potential multi billion market at which we are aiming.. We're shooting at the moon but might reach the stars instead. Go Peter, your technology is amazing!

Pyr's torch design is under patent so, yes there will be other torches out there at some point (after all we are talking a 4T potential market, impossible that Pyr takes it all), but who would want cheap torches in their production plant? I'd rather have the ones tested in a similar oven in Sweden, chosen over all other conpetitors, and from the biggest high powered plasma expertise and first market big player. Like choosing a Cisco networking gear, sure there are others, they are still trying to catch up for 30 years...
