(Because no metal bending is involved and the "thermoset" process uses chemistry, not immense heat, the molds cost a fraction of the conventional version.) The skins are then attached to a universal frame. The cell is closed and filled with pressurized water, which braces the skins together. Then composite materials are injected...

O.K., you have to add hardware or electrical wiring to the finished product. But the VEC cell requires three people and very little technical expertise--as long as there is a link to the mother node...
