"Cedar Park, Texas-based ultracapacitor developer EEStor could be a step closer to shipping its first product, announcing the certification of production milestones and the enhancement of its chemical purification processes. The secretive startup has made bold claims for the performance of its upcoming solid-state electrical energy storage unit, yet the company has some significant partners backing its claims, including Toronto-based electric vehicle maker Zenn Motor (TSX: ZNN), Silicon Valley's Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and Bethesda, Md.-based Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), the world's No. 1 defense contractor." This guy Weir sounds like a good used car salesman.
'good things SHOULD happen in a REASONABLE period of time'. now thats an evasive answer if i ever heard one :tsk:
Barium titanate is the basis of many piezoelectric devices such as ultrasonic cleaners. I would expect a polycrystalline barium titanate capacitor to create excess current spikes in response to random impacts; not a good thing. The Japanese seem to be avoiding such problems by choosing other materials such as lithium alloys that do not include barium, titanium or zirconium.
still waiting to retire after my Zenn stock takes off...will admit i have made a lot so far after only a few months... but nothing i can retire on....hehehe... http://www.zenncars.com/media/press_rel/07_08/EEStor_confirms_progress_July30.pdf
I would invest in Zenn if I had money to invest. It is probably a risky investment, but could be huge if Eestor "pans out."
