Its probably caused them enough embarrassment. Lionel Liebman should be fired. Lockheeds new policy is to not talk about eestor anymore. Its probably caused them enough embarrassment.

The majority of capacitors do not use corrugation nor high-resistivity matrixes. In other words... Capacitors may have as much "space" to improve upon as transistors did in the 19th Century. I believe in the validity of EEStor's claim(s) due to the facts that: 1) The company is environmentally-oriented, as am I (there has to be a solution to batteries - which are toxic and cannot be recycled). 2) It does not host any marketing or advertising claims. 3) ThEEStory forums looked quite good. If this stock goes public, I am placing as much as my networth as I can on it (not that I have a high networth to begin with). Regarding Zenn electric, I will wait until I see more legislation supporting electric cars, as they are currently illegal where I live.

Like anything else before you claim anything , proof of the concept should be done using small scale unit. Anybody can put a patent on paper but there is a giant leap to go from a paper claim and building it and making it work. All of this make me believe that this all thing is a bad JOKE ...

I loved the original concept with a sporty style to a hybrid, which no one had seen. Now i see the commercial for the Volt and it is a wanna be Prius. With a 4 door box style i am very disappointed! i was looking forward to seeing a sporty hybrid brought onto the market, and know it would sell great! I am sure now though that some other non-american company such as toyota will come out with one and the American car companies will be behind again! Chevy! this was your chance to take a stab at the Japanese car makers and you screwed it up! you should at least offer the sporty style as an option! why did the hevy volt change their look.

Here is MIT validating Ultra Capacitor Technology http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/research/4252623.html And how about this company that claims to be able to make hydrogen on demand so the storage problems are eliminated. http://gas2.org/2008/03/19/how-biodiesel-fuel-cells-could-power-the-future-and-your-car Would love to see comments on these too as it never makes sense to put all our eggs in the Eestor basket!
