Does that mean, joemama, that they have hit you up for money? They haven't scammed me -- they probably could but they haven't asked me yet. As far as I can tell the only people that are able to invest in EEStor are big boys with lots of money and presumably got and kept all that money by thorough due diligence. “They are scamming us?” Does that mean, joemama, that they have hit you up for money?

They haven't ever produced a working prototype. They are just sucking up investiment dollars with 'hopeful' news. They had a nice idea. They thought they could get it to work. But alas, they can't figure it out, and they can't make it work. Hence, they can't produce a working prototype. It's a scam and a sham folks. They keep missing their own deadlines, BECAUSE they can't get it to work ! Why else are they so secretive ! They are scamming us. It’s truly amazing that anyone brings up Eestore anymore.

Then these cars would charge themselves, without stoping, as they drive over this electromagnetic strips via a pick up coil placed under the chasis of the car" If you are talking about putting magnets in the highway that generate current in a coil as the car passes over it (i.e., a linear generator), the drag on the car will exceed the energy gained. Otherwise, it would be a perpetual motion machine, which violates the laws of physics. #72 Electriciti Says, “This technology is fine, but it would not be necessary if we could have imbeded magnetic strips at specfic intervals on our highways.

Sounds like something we will give away free to foreign owned auto companies so they can beat our companies in the market place. Just like hybrid technology. Sounds interesting.

"PSS: Post totally off topic " -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Can your pool, your rain barrels, and your basement combined store 10 million barrels of crude oil (a normal amount for an oil future contract)? Would you really want to? (Point goes to The Grump) 2) I thought we were alllowed to be off-topic, if replying to another off-topic post. My bad. Besides, this thread is boring - when they actually prove that a Volt-ready ultracap exists, when EEStor produces more than hot air, then I'll get excited.
