Active Power: A Diamond in the Rough [View article]
appreciate your comment. the wave of market adoption you've awaited and now don't anticipate until you die has already begun and is now 2 years in-motion. investors' thought processes become clouded when things don't turn out as expected and/or on their timelines; i'd encourage you to take another look with as much objectivity as possible.
per my piece, it has taken a decade for proof of concept. the technology now is proven. market adoption subsequently began to gain momentum a couple of years ago... battery-based technology in this space is slowly being disintermediated. but don't take it from me; just speak with any consultant engineer in the know about tech in this space.
And just wait to see what happens when ACPW's new generation of flywheel-based UPS hit the market.. we're likely to see an acceleration in market share loss for battery-based manufacturers.

Thnx for the comments. Nick, I agree with you. This is one of my favorite topics of conversation: Investors build their strategies based on what's worked within their recent lifetimes. Those who did this did not understand what happened in '08 and did badly; whereas, those who had perspective on what had happened in faraway places (Latin America, Japan, Germany) and long ago times (Great Depression) did well or relatively well.
