Finally! I can build coils for my plasmoid thrusters[1] and not worry about NASA coming after me. :-)<p>More seriously, this is something I really like about NASA and their mission, they are excellent at technology transfer. They did a lot of work on Lithium batteries that got widely licensed for little to no money and that has made for an explosion of battery applications (no pun intended)<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;technology.nasa.gov&#x2F;public_domain&#x2F;MFS-32364-1" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;technology.nasa.gov&#x2F;public_domain&#x2F;MFS-32364-1</a>
