Beacon Power: My Top Stock Pick for 2008

Beacon still has to engineer a touchdown bearing system for this product to supplement the magnetic bearings they use now. I suspect a product without touchdown bearings would be destroyed in a serious earthquake, so the product isn't ready for commercialization yet. Also, they are going to need more money, so they will be selling stock and will possibly dilute the value of the stock to do it. My impression is that their product isn't intended to supply power for more than a few seconds at a time (if that), which is why they refer to their market as the one for frequency regulation. I own shares of the stock.
