They're taking the corn out of the mouths of our beef and dairy cattle. It's like they think depopulation is just right around that corner right there. Hmmm.

Wolf Hilbertz – Home.
I've had the IEEE paper
http://www.wolfhilbertz.com/download..._IEEE_1979.pdf since the 1970s and I spoke with him on the phone.

The Estate of Wolf Hilbertz would also like to clarify the following:
The patents and trademarks have expired. The technology can be used freely. Using electrolysis specifically to grow construction material and artificial reefs was a novel approach in the 1970s and 80s. Hilbertz patented and trademarked the process, and eventually developed additional patents in partnership with others. All U.S. and international patents have since expired.
Nonetheless, practical experience with the technology has always been - and remains - crucial to successful outcomes. The Estate remains interested in providing access to such resources where possible.
Wolf Hilbertz is the sole inventor of mineral accretion. Hilbertz invented the process for creating structures in seawater in 1976. Scientific work on the topic of mineral accretion was first published by Wolf Hilbertz in the IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering in 1979. Wolf Hilbertz was, however, always deeply collaborative in approach. He never failed to credit others for critical roles in the development or, as he might have put it, ‘evolution’ of the process.
In this spirit, we aim for a transparent and collaborative culture surrounding the use and further development of mineral accretion. We encourage eager minds ranging from scientists and students to divers and doers to spark underwater change.
