Equipment operating temperature upper bound is well below that (700 .. 1500 kelvin), and
the xrays themselves also well outside that range (equivalent to ~500 million kelvin)
Ovonics and Ovshinsky are not like “most” anything. He’s now 88, widower-ed and re-married (to a physicist in ’07). Never went to university/college. Since ’06 has been awarded 6 honorary doctorates or so.
Read the bio. Notwithstanding that FF is a direct competitor to solar. Stan is a brilliant maverick, with contacts and (some?) resources, looking for excitement.
