Ray Lambert: Eestor, has proven its product, Zenn has increased its funding, DARPA and Lockhead is on board, and this thing is moving forward. I still want to see it in a product, but it now seems likely, Eestor is for real. (Quote)

How have they proven their product? get real. SCAM!

I’ve read all your comments with interest, Fall 2009 is upon us and we will see what will develop in the next few months ….. But I do have to leave you with my opinion … do you really think that an company like ZENN that has invested milions of dollars haven’t been testing this PowerCell from EEStor …. may I remind you that they are partners, who else would be testing this in prototype vehicles right now & in the past …. I think that these people (EEStor) have taken lessons from Apple, they don’t announce anything until they are ready to release the product. I’m sure DARPA and Lockhead are on a agreement NOT to release any information to anybody.

As to all the other provinces in Canada they are followers NOT leaders, they wait until Ontario & Quebec passes legislation so the ZENN automobiles can ride their roads, then they like the sheep they are will follow as well.

As all of you I’m hoping that they will come thru with this powercell and make this planet a little more GREEN

Eestore is a scam and a sham folks. Good greif. They have never been able to produce a working prototype ! Please keep repeating this to yourself, until the lights come on. Please.

They had an idea, and they thought they could make it work. But, they can’t seem to make it work. Hence, no working prototype. Now they are just scamming us with ‘hopeful’ reports, and eating up investment dollars. Five years from now, they will still be giving us excuses, and lies. It is a shame that they are not more honest.

Repeat…….. they don’t have a working prototype to test, because they can’t get it to work !

Dove has touched on a marriage of technologies I have been drooling over for years. I would add wind turbine to that mix. Yes… all to power an electric vehicle — without stopping at a charging station.

The vehicle I am describing is a self contained/reliant recreational vehicle (motor home). These vehicles are already lightweight considering their volume. This would allow maximum surface area for solar charging and comparatively lower power consumption. (compared to a freight vehicle of similar volume). However, the solar technology I am referring to also utilizes the infrared specrum as well as the visible.

Of course all this dreaming is pointless if EEStore doesn’t come through with this ultracap.

Well … if I were to have a http://www.nanosolar.com paint … hopefully the new default paint colour on my next car … and this capacator … it would be grand. Perhaps someone would figure out a ‘perpetual’ … (I say that jokingly … Carnot effiency) … generator using a halbach array and herbsmithite. With new materials science tomorrow is looking more like the book ‘The Diamond Age’.

News that the web site reuters.com has stated that ‘EEStor Inc, has secured a U.S. patent for its battery,’ Not a battery at all. But a ultra capacitor. The current equals the size of the capacitor, times the voltage changed, divided by the time it discharged. This will be as big of an invention for power as the airplane was for travel. Yes I am an Electronic Engineer. Finally the electrons will flow big time.

Funny that nobody even mentioned the core question of stability of such an energy storage. Imagine some 50 kW-h of energy tightly packed into 33 L volume! The system is extremely unstable: any occasional leakage to ground would bring the device to immediate warming-up to real high temps – with disastrous effects. In fact, a powerful blast could take place any moment; are you morally ready to make use of such a bomb in everyday practice?
There are merely no safe ways of that dense energy packing in a capacitor; Mother Nature’s laws. Let’s think twice before…
