Supposedly there's a patent application in on PureVap. Anybody know the number?

Your back to the 1 ton silicon cupcake. At no point has HPQ said they are trying to create a 1 ton silicon cupcake. Currently, they are trying to figure out what the maximum size cupcake is. So say they can only make a 1lb cupcake, great! What they need to figure out is not how to make that cupcake bigger but instead, how do you make a ton worth of 1lb cupcakes.
If I am not mistaken, the negative aspectes of the square cube law that you are trying to convince us all of, doesn't come into play until you reach a certian size. It would appear we haven't hit that size yet.
The first reference to 1 ton per day was refering to "yield". Then, someone went defensive on it, refereing yield as batch. So i was self-created debate... The original post never made any reference to batch size. But in any case it's yield that is important.
Yield.
And you would still need around 550kg yield per day to get to 200MT capacity.
Square Cube law is rather a mathematical concept ... and in various science, there are implications to consider... particularly when your process has a dependency to surface of
reaction vs volume of product to be reacted.
But, nobody has access to the design, so it's very speculative to determined how this "natural mathematical relation between square and cube" can be a specific challenge to the present science project.
Based on various other Plasma Process(and really impressive readings available from the 2016 plasma sympodium), it has rather been determined that there is a complexe equilibrium between substrats, electrode distance, heat, conductivity, vessel pressure vs ambiant pressure, and etc... So technically, scaling up can be relatively modelised based on various available research that are readily available to the scientific community.
I rather see this experiment as boiling water / distiller... Need to boil more water, you either improve size of pan and heat source, or boil it longer. Purity forms as a solid core, and impurities migrate around...
