"The thing that's odd to me about the patent is how much marketing data is in there. It talks about potential to revolutionize the EV industry, and compares the technology to batteries... Everything you put in your claims that doesn't need to be there limits the scope. The only reason to put that crap in there is if you're planning on trying to trick somebody into believing it simply because the patent was granted. Any patent attorney with half a brain would have stripped that stuff out of there lest it be used to limit the scope of the patent in the future.
Lockheed Martin might not share Ivan's opinion:

There is though always a possibility that the people there have been made to believe in something that is not what it seems.

No, not at all. These days I have been experiencing some problems with my flatscreen monitor (next time I certainly won't buy Korean). Had to interrupt what I was doing in order to fix the problem and used the opportunity to chime in with a word or two. Otherwise no holidays for me this year (Christmas or New Year).
Still the rather unpredictable and cosiderably insane old me, I would say.

What is far more interesting in this respect is how they process barium titanate. Through a special procedure they cause the bulk ceramic to have the property of individual barium titanate crystals. Usually the material is consituted of barium titanate crystals which have voids in-between. These voids make the current to arc, a voltage breakdown occurs and the capacitor discharges. This special procedure though eliminates the pore space.
I wondered if this can be achieved without violence and high-energy methods. Would it be possible to simply grow a gigantic barium titanate crystal or even a purely natural crystal with the same properties, but without any "violent" procedures?
Let me just offer an analogy (perhaps not the best one, but still): several hundred years ago it was traditionally believed in Europe and China that metals go through a kind of evolution (speaking of Teilhard De Chardin!). The lowest rung in the ladder was occupied by lead and the highest by gold. I think that the Chinese thought it took some 4320 years for gold to emerge and the evolution to be completed.
Crystals are living beings. They also have feelings (like metals - and if anyone thinks that metals do not feel pain when one does violence to them, then he is very mistaken /ref.: 20th-century Indian research/. And no, this is not some heart-bleeding liberal talk). Why not accelerate their evolution? Then they will perhaps happily co-operate with you and serve you well.
You can do things in an elegant, simple and sweet manner or you can do them in a crude and complicated way.
Another example: 70 years ago there was in the West a gentleman from East Asia, who studied neurology at one of the most prominent Western universities. He was a brilliant thinker and was able to achieve an elegant synthesis between the traditional knowledge that he was privy to and the achievements of modern neurology. Among other this allowed him to establish a method through which nerve cells and tissue could be regenerated merely by simple (and yet demanding) mental techniques combined with a specific control of certain areas of the nervous system.
He had outstanding success with treating such afflictions as infantile paralysis, etc.
No chips, no drugs, no machines, no violence to the human body. The texts he authored are extremely rare and very difficult to get.
Some 40 years ago, I believe, he had to close down his institute. Nobody was interested in what he had to say.
I intentionally left out the details, since I myself do not have all of his texts yet.
