  • Axion Power Concentrator 237: May 16: Axion Power Reports First Quarter Results For 2013 [View instapost]
    Exactly, Albert. Axion brings their patented technology, without which the manufacturing partner gets nothing. In fact, there is more at stake as the partner risks losing some of their sales.

    The partner will get their normal margin, as a percent, perhaps a litle more if they negotiate well. It seems to me that Axion would get about the same net of costs dollar amount per unit as the manufacturing partner.

    Who will be our partner? The highest bidder, of course.

    Yup, Metro, that is essentially what I wanted to ask too. At least the part about the impact of the 25%+ improvement in internal resistance amperage.

    It does not seem insignificant and I would think that it opens up a whole new round of testing as to what the PbC can do.

    wtb, I'm thinking Bosch would never be the 'sole source' because Axion will always be the other source.

    Yes, our long-term strategy is to make electrodes only but in the short and medium term we can and will sell complete PbC batteries.

    Ranma "A backup power system for buildings, not so much."

    ...unless you can tie that building backup Powercube into the grid and sell frequency regulation services to the grid.

    I didn't think that was a derisive laugh at all. I thought the laugh was the kind you give when someone gives the right answer.

    The question was how much of the market share TG would be satisfied with and TG said 'All of it'.

    If we're the best solution for a particular application then we should NEVER be ok with losing out. Not now, not ever.

    I was in queue with you. I wanted to point out that >25% increase in amperage and internal resistance and ask whether metrics like that would be part of the SBIR phase II application and what the implications are for other applications beyond ePower and other testing that is currently in progress and/or has been performed to date.

    Just a little slow on the trigger, I guess. Still was happy with the other questions asked.

    I would also like to know what is happening over time to the batteries that have been delivered to NS.

    Are they deteriorating as they sit there waiting to be used? We know they gradually lose charge - what if they fall down below a 10% state of charge? This has a negative impact on the cycle life and DCA, does it not?

    Just re-reading, by 'be there' I meant I'll be dialing in. I will not be travelling to Newcastle.

    I'll probably be there. Not sure if I have any questions to ask but I will if I feel like it. Sorry, that's the best I can do.

    As for Elvis leaving the building, I think he still may be somewhere in the wings. I'm a bruins fan and just witnessed one of the greatest comebacks ever. At one time down by 3 goals, the bruins score 2ce in the last 2minutes to put it into overtime. Then Bergeron puts it away in OT.

    I think axion makes a comeback and there will be some people sitting in their cars listening to the radio and wishing they had stayed until the end.

    TG stepping down under 2 conditions:

    1) as Iindelco said, his replacement is a battery industry rockstar, sales machine

    2) TG stays on as a member of the Board of Directors or perhaps as CEO with this rockstar as President

    I think it's unlikely and I'm happy with the way things are.

    Reminds me of y2k. All this panic and paranoia about a single date and when that date arrives and the world doesn't end, euphoria.

    Just picked up my April 5K quota at .23, my lowest price yet.

    My thought process is along the lines of the colourful Scottish saying: "If you're going to be hanged for stealing a sheep then you might as well shag it". Delightful people, my forefathers.

  • Tesla Motors' Full Analysis, Its Only Mistake, Outlook And Elon Musk [View article]
    I'm currently reading 'The Orphan Master's Son'.

    These posts that exaggerate Musk's talent and importance beyond all reason remind me of North Korean propaganda about their Great Leader personally advising engineers and scientists.

    'Clever and personal sense of humor'? Really, dude?

    There really is some laughably obvious propaganda going on here.
