Seams a while since I last updated the Blog, but then I can't see the point in writing with nothing to include.

Since the last update.

The retail outlets have been busy, with new interest, sales, and website updates.  Margins continue to be an issue and its clear that with the Trade Price offered and VAT the retail outlets have slim pickings from the Fan-C. However, the Fan-Ce is better and as this was seen as the main product for retail it is progressing well.

We have taken delivery of the first batch of New coolers to convert rather than 'pre-loved' coolers. additionally, we now have a new batch of smaller higher output TEG modules which should combined produce an improved air flow through great power output & less losses.

The whole import, customs duty & handling fees are a frustration and erode the margin. But they were built into the original costings.  We are awaiting hubs for the Fan-C, and drive mount fixtures - once received we will re-order a larger batch to remove the bottle neck.

No words from the Academics on the test results, and thats progress updated. 

We are still thinking through the key design features of the new product, I hope to have prototypes by the end of the summer and roll out should be pretty quick there after.

Website hits remain consistent, a news letter out to 60 associates is hoped to bring in some further interest locally along with increased site traffic generally.  The Google Adds YouTube campaign is still running and at a low cost level send half a dozen clients to the website each day.  At current levels the add fund should be good to end August.

Done.
