Thanks to the work of GaryB, we know EEStor continues to apply for patents related to its technology. The latest is an application for a fusible link. In case you're worried EEStor isn't covering enough bases, this application also invokes "Thomas Edison's electrical power distribution system," useful for anyone critical of EEStor's grasp of history.
On a related note, I was going to keep this
As Tuesday Feb 1, 2011, Lockheed Martin maintains that there have been "no changes" in it's EEStor agreement. "Our rights agreement is still in effect," Craig Van Bebber wrote in an email to me today.
To find out why Lockheed would maintain such a long term relationship with EEStor Inc and get virtually nothing in return, I decided to go under cover once again to see if perhaps a nugget of
Note from Sylvia McCollough:
Thank you. As a former Advocate for ZMC, but no longer working in a professional capacity, I am still very much supporting the success of EEStor's technology. I continue to hope Michigan will be considered a viable location for any advanced EESU and ZMC technology development. We are just waiting for the final development of the technology, as are others.
And wait,

Poor Sylvia McCoullough. Lobbyists tend to shy away from media attention unless it serves a good purpose. But now here she is in my blog as a centerpiece in the latest chapter about EEStor Inc. Ouch. (dont worry, this won't hurt a bit)
About a year ago, I was looking into her work on behalf of ZMC America (Zenn Motor Company's American subsidiary) to see if I could learn
Due to an inadvertent misconfiguration early in the process, the EEStor pilot production line under construction in their Cedar Park, TX facility has been producing patent applications instead of capacitor components for the past couple years. No word on when that might get corrected. In the meantime, the latest EEStor patent application, published today, January 20, 2011 has to do with with

Finally, after decades of being little more than pretty faces, actor activists (actorvists (I didn't coin that)) are getting smart....at least George Clooney is anyway. You've probably read that Clooney, unlike most uber famous hollywood stars, has taken on a cause that might easily one day lead to his untimely death: Sudan. According to a recent Time magazine article, Clooney

Like most public officials, DOE Secretary Chu can be both praised and criticized for the choices he has made to advance the mission of the agency he leads. My initial worry with Chu was that maybe he didn't prioritize energy storage enough in his overall plan so that research funding was being spread too thinly across various renewable energy technologies. I also worried
The global race to develop lithium ion batteries has suddenly become far more interesting thanks to new Wikileaks documents released recently. According to one of the cables, the Inter-American Development Bank has given the government of Bolivia a report "that details the serious potential for environmental damage in extracting Lithium." The cable paints Morales as an eager industrialist who
Dear Santa,
I know it's been a long time since I wrote to you and we both know the circumstances which have made me largely ineligible to benefit from your work, i.e., that I've been a bad boy for a long, loooong, loooonnnggg time.
Rather than live in the past, I thought I would try and start anew, first, by saying I am so sorry for being bad. I will try and not act like the world revolves
"No life has been found on other planets. " So says Dr. Steven Benner, panelist scheduled to take part in a NASA press conference tomorrow. Every major media outlet along with about a hundred thousand blogs are reporting that the press conference may include an announcement of a discovery of life on other planets.
I spoke with Dr. Benner this afternoon and while the exact contents of the
