Once it is, though, I would hope that this changes. Should be a matter of months only, since EEStor has deliverables this year to feel good cars.

This is such a big break through, in energy storage, that could catapolt the US to a hole new fronter. I see that in the near future the cost of energy is what could drive the next revolution in growth in the US and abroad. These batteries will make wind generators and solor power possible for a larger number of house holds.I could see the government getting behind this and driving it to a whole new level. Power station could cut the cost of delivering energy. What I understand is that power station produce an over supply of electricity and the part that is not used is wasted. This wasted energy could be captured in very large batteries and used. I can't wait to see this technology start making a difference. I wish I could be on the for front.

By now they may have been bought out, and even if there was any substance to the product, it will not matter any more. The whole excersise was to get some oil companies scared.

High frequency switching power supplies can easily handle the voltage conversion efficiently and compactly. (Well it's not that easy, but it's doable today.)

Did they mean September 2010? Get it going--please -the world awaits. How can I help I could collect old cigarette buts for the smoke and I know a good mirror supplier.

They say the battery was tested for a million cycles. Lets say it is a quick charge discharge cycle taking 1 minute. Doing it for 24/7 will take approx 2 years. If it a 100% rating test, then the test currents run into 100s of amperes, - you need a huge power ON/OFF contact that will wear out in no time anyway and need repalcement every few hours. when did EEStor say they developed and tested this product ? What type of test did they conduct ? Something dont seem right here. I have one douubt here.

I don't know enough about the technology EEStor is using to say. If this technology delievers, it will be absolutely revolutionary. But that's a really big "If". Time will tell.
