Not only did I figure out the proper materials but I figured out how to produce the bottles. I can't afford to take this idea further and need a partnership with someone or some company that can bring this product to market. Do you have any suggestions that might help me locate a partner?

I purchased a pretty stainless one with an old tree design on it (reminds me of nature, trees, and the beautiful outdoors that we're trying to save). Here's a photo of the one I bought: http://www.brightandbold.com/stbo33oztr.html I just love the fact I'm saving an estimated $15 per week and saving 12 disposable water bottles per week from being tossed in the landfill... plus I no longer worry about bpa leaching into my water. The taste of my drinks is neutral - no metallic taste, and when I want to take super hot chocolate or coffee, I use a thermos anyway. I love this bottle for outdoors use, hiking, biking, and the gym... it's gotten me to start drinking more water now which is healthier as well.
