Thanks to CapMan for supplying the following file which positions EEStor Patent claims along side current state of the art in the area of standard capacitors and the relevant market sizes.
A thrifty document altogether that seems to show that one day (if the claims are true), Dick Weir and team may be enjoying more than a slice of a single piece of pie. EE-ha!
Hopefully, this has been a tasty bit of news for any new capacitor readers...or ultracapacitor readers.
What are you so excited about, B?
I don't know about the capacitors, but the pies look delicious!
This is part of what Rudyard Istvan was talking about.
The EESU would have to be so much better than so many capacitors out there, and made at a much lower cost.
Looking at it one way, they will put huge swaths of the capacitor industry out of business if they succeed.
Looking at it the other way, there are plenty of companies who know a lot about ceramic capacitors that were somehow unable to stumble upon this massive improvement that EEStor has found. This seems suspicious.
And looking ant it another way, this could provide american jobs, since there would (probably) be no foreign competition....
I think your vision of caps is very good, but what about the small battery market? I think that AA's, AAA's and C's, D's are fair game too. If you look at this market then you will be over 100 billion dollars in heaven.
Could be movin' to da East side - to a deluxe appartment in da sky...
Again, why are you looking at the floor?
Look up, see those camcorder batteries, alarm batteries, built in ipod (and iphone) batteries and not the least backup power batteries?
The batter fruit is higher up in the tree.
