That looks a brilliant device, it doesnt give a place to buy it though, I'd get one for my husband if I could find it. I will research and see if they're available to buy anywhere. Thanks for sharing

i think it is a research device still and not available to public.

Yes, I think you're right, I've checked and only found lots of articles about it but no info on where to get it. I hope it becomes available, it looks brilliant.
