Obviously a wand (including the glide) could be made with that material... If they can make the metals flexible enough to be the inside of the vac hoses, then that could substantially reduce or eliminate water friction during extraction. Which also means a lot more effective smaller machines/blowers. Portys could be on steroids with this.
Just pray, they won't make carpet materials that behave like this. We'd be done. No dirt will stick to them...
They way I understand, that this little piece of metal got laser treated and took them an hour to make. So this technology is way to far from being mainstream...
