That constitute proof to you? Lol Directed energy weapons have been a thing for at least ten years!

Industry in the West has transitioned from being a manufacturing base to being a tech and service base. Tech companies design world leading products and then simply leverage superior Chinese manufacturing. It’s not even just a price thing anymore, often the quality is better than Western options. Does that have complex geopolitical and social consequences, probably yeah, but it’s not fair to say that all we do these days is buy foreign and stamp a Union Jack on it. As you know we design and build products in the UK, but there is no way we can get the electronic components or full PCBs at anything like the price of Chinese boards and parts...plus we've found the quality of these parts is usually better...they are very good at building electrical boards no doubt about it... I am however very keen to keep all production in the UK for as long as possible, and would never have the full product built in China, partly due to patriotism and mainly due to how quick it would be copied and ant patent or IP security means f**k all once they ate banging out a copy cat at half the price! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have all our production in the UK too currently. All boards batteries and tooled parts are made in China from our designs though. As our products become globally recognised over the next 12-24 months I can see production being moved there too. I deal a lot with third party products that we integrate with our ecosystem from various others, Lithuania, Australia, the Netherlands. But again a lot of their boards will be sourced from the east. Everyone does. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone does. Our designs are all in house, we're currently at the last knocking of our new systems, we've really struggled with the boards on this one (huge amp requirements, lots of pressure on board parts, plus more intelligence, mapping engine rev ranges etc..its been a quest!) Nearly there though, first boards under test currently, once they are bang on the design will be sent to our Chinese supplier, we will retain the software and blow that into the board in the UK...all the assembly in the UK... I can't see any order way to be honest.. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see any order way to be honest.. As you know Kev I worked for Nortel Networks who sold the business to Bookhams who dumped 6000 employees. Sent it all the equipment to Shenzhen China making fibre optic receivers and transmitters. I was on maintenance at this time helping stripping the production stuff out. The engineer that was in charge asked me what I thought about that the building in China it was going to for production, that it was Chinese Government was on the floor above. I said wake up in two years they will be knocking the product out. I don't know if that did occur but probably did. Must be still a lot of engineers around Paignton mate with knowledge about circuit boards. There was a lot of very brainy people there Kev. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
