Kinda Cool Info Regarding Strings

These strings seem very interesting. I have been obsessed with "gradual tension" sets (I have to "make" my own, nobody sells a gradual tension string set) for years, and it feels much better when playing. But these strings might revolutionize that idea...

However, I cannot find anything on the Internet about whether one can purchase these strings (and where?)...

Anyone found a lead?
 
I recently had Curt Mangan make some custom sets for me because I wanted something between 9s and 10s that was more balanced string to string. The B string on a set of 9s is lower in tension in the high E and the low E is lower in tension that the A. These differences have always kind of driven me nuts. I also wanted a little more tension than 9s but not as much as 10s.

What I ended up with was a set that feels amazing. The gauges I chose were 9.5, 12.5, 16.5, 25, 34, 46.

Next up will be a set for my Les Pauls which, IIRC, will be 10, 14, 17, 26, 35, 48. I've got the info in a spreadsheet on another PC.
 
Wondering on bends with these strings.

The E/A/D/G would change pitch/tension at the same rate, i.e. the D at least would typically become easier to bend. Compare the effort to bend a minor 3rd on your current G & D strings.

You can also get equal rates (or close) by altering the tuning scheme instead of core:wrap ratio. With a .009-.042 set try retuning E-A-D-G to F#-A-B-G, find some chords and use the bar. If a wound string changes pitch more/less than the G, tune it up (to reduce rate) or down (to increase rate) 1/2 step and try again.
 
recently tried "Thin Core" Boomers
Took me a bit to get used to them, usually use NYXL Balanced Tension.
Would like to try the strings in this new study, very interesting.

According to Mr.Kemp in the comments section for this video (dated 9/21/17) they are currently in the prototype stage of development.
