Today, was the first sampling of our 2500 hour test using our newly developed sapphire on sapphire bearing system (patent pending), for liquid cooling pumps.

Running at 150% of typical load, todays results show a bearing life in the 100,000 hour range.

Testing program will continue, as wear at this point is very difficult to measure, and we need more time and sampling for final predictions.

If this technology is proven, we expect a major increase in pump warranty periods.
