Of course, they can be.
And I think the best example of that is actually electric vehicle fast charging.
Millions of electric vehicles are charged a week, actually a day now, at 400 to 800 volts DC using a touch-safe interlocked connector.
And that model is the model that, you know, Wade's video that he referred you to, they talk about it a lot in that video.
That's the model they're applying to this 800 volts distribution.
It's interlocked, it's touch safe.
You look at the connector, you can't put your finger in there, even if it is live, which it shouldn't be because it's interlocked.
You couldn't shock yourself if you tried.
That approach and that thinking and applying that thinking not just to the connectors, but also arc flash hazards, you can design intrinsically safe, in some ways safer than the alternative systems that don't have any of those interlocks or touch-safe protections.
I think we got to demonstrate it.
So we're in engineering prototype land, so are a lot of our competitors.
And engineering deployment, engineering prototypes to pilots, that's happening this, let's say, fall, winter, maybe Q1 of 2027, that'll be happening.
Not just with us, but both with our competitors.
And then, you know, we'll go from engineering pilots to commercial pilots to actual mass production deployments.
Like when we talk to our customers in the data center space, you know, we're talking about mass production deployments in late 27 and early 28.
So I think that is where this starts to take off is technology.
late 27, early 28.
And of course, Heron Power is not, we're not only building a solution for data centers, that same five megawatt module works for grid scale batteries, it works for grid scale solar.
So we're doing the same effort with those customers as well on the same timeframe.
Yeah, I think we're uniquely suited to the problem statement with my background and the sort of leadership team I built around me, you know, we've just shipped to collectively, we shipped over 80 gigawatts of grid scale power electronics.
