Tyler Hamilton has released a new article on EEStor Inc including several insights from Dick Weir on Technology Review, published by MIT. I want to focus in on a key excerpt concerning EEStor's status with regard to production expansion and information flow:Weir says that momentum is building and that he'll start coming out with information about the company's progress on a "more rapid basis."
I think we had some good discussion yesterday in the area of understanding and/or speculating about what might be the underlying science behind EEStor's proposed innovations. With that in mind, a new thread posted on Google Groups came to my attention. I was wondering if the persons tackling all the science questions could have a read of this letter to Ian Clifford and then comment here on
The San Francisco Chronicle has an article on the Zenn low speed electric cars. Mentioned therein is Green Motors who has sold 36 cars since December. The article states that this vehicle operates at a cost of 3cents/mile vs gasoline powered cars at 10cents/mile. Astonishingly absent from the article is any mention of EEStor.....orthis blog. :-) Guess someone needs to light up the comments
I've been trying to add features to this blog to make it easier to follow comment threads but also to report inappropriate comments. I found IntenseDebate and think it may do the trick for us. I tested it a bit on another of my blogs and everything seemed to work fine but when i installed it here, I freaked out because it set all the comment counts to 0, ie, I thought I lost all of the comments!
When I started putting this blog together, I had a really modest goal: organize some information about EEStor in a blog format so that people could find it easily, read and discuss it. My attraction to the EEStory was not unlike many of you--skeptics and fans of EEStor alike--in that, I saw a bit of hope in the work being carried out at EEStor which could benefit alot of people around the world
Good Friday Morning to all the European Patent Office staff who read this blog regularly. You may wish to call up your IT Support staff to check capacity, because you're about to get a wee bit of EEStor obsessed traffic.Thanks to Tom Villars, the only non-anonymous reader/commentator on this blog, we have an excellent set of instructions for how to get automated EEStor patent alerts. You will
I wanted to start a thread here on the stock movement today. Anyone care to post some analysis or theories about what happened, will happen, might happen, etc?Also, on a related note, Ive been curious and others have emailed me wondering to what degree it's possible to learn what institutional investors may be invested in Zenn. Any way of learning that through proper channels? Also, does anyone
With regard to EEStor's recent announcement of production and purity milestones, here's a little recap post for easy access to the various postings.1) Links to original press release and coverage2) Follow on Interview with Richard Weir3) Interview with Edward Golla, 3rd party reviewer4) Zenn's subsequent press release5) Some technical discussions of the release and related topics.a) reader
In an attempt to draw even more skittish but possibly insightful souls into the various dialogues here, I am running a little scientific experiment of my own. I flipped on anonymous posting, thus eliminating the need to set up a blogger account to comment here. As a result though, it could introduce undesirable content so I turned on capta too. I already see some persons taking advantage of
In a prior post, I mentioned that a reader had brought it to my attention that Clive Randall who is Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State University had expressed concerns about the information found in the eestor patents. I was able to speak with Prof Randall today. First, for the time being, he will take a pass on posting information here in regards to EEStor. Second
I just spoke via phone with Dick Weir for about 5 minutes. It was a very typical conversation in the sense that he was at times jovial and others mildly irritated with me. I could tell he was determined not to let the conversation stray from simply commenting on the press release, to explain what's in there.Blogger: some people are wondering if your use of the term "milestone" in the press
Cleantech has acquired some comments from Richard Weir on yesterday's announcement:here's the link. thanks mrjerry
Zenn Motors issued a press release today to say that yesterday's EEStor announcement "bodes well" for the next milestone of 3rd party permittivity. Zenn took the opportunity to elaborate on a few other items that are often asked/discussed here, eg, Zenn's stake in EEStor, the scope of Zenn's exclusive rights deal, and the ZENNergy drive system.
Here's another interesting technical dissection of from todays blog comments...this time from Mihkel. Again, I just want to pull out some of these technical comments and separate them from the discussion of zenn stock, etc. My hope is other technical folks will add to the commentary and even, hopefully, add a little relief in terms of providing some plain english verbiage that average joes like
If you read this blog, it doesnt take long to realize that many of the comments are more interesting than the original posting. I'd like to start highlighting some of these interesting comments by pulling them out into their own separate posting to allow some focused discussion around the concepts involved. Regarding today's EEStor PR, reader ZAWY had the below comments. zawy said...They
I spoke to Ian Clifford this afternoon. At the time, he had not read the EEStor announcement but said ZENN was working on their own release regarding the announcement which may be out later this evening. As long as he's not swamped dealing with the battle with Ontario, we'll speak again tommorrow. The battle is also covered here and here. What would you like me to ask him? Don't go crazy...
