And my hat, too.

Eric or Aaron mentioned somewhere that B11 could be very expensive if purchased from scientific supply channels or by the gram, something to that effect, iirc. Still, the patent does mention the ability to use nearly any borane as a fuel, with pentaborane as the preferred alternate fuel. My searches seemed to say that the pentaborane stocks were destroyed and its no longer in production, which would make diborane sweeter still.
