Very interesting interview. Hearing the actual interview is great, and I'm sure the MP3 approach frees up your time from transcribing B.

So the innovation is in the pro-duct-ion liiine. Both in the methods and in the ability to produce on scale while hitting price targets. That is in agreement with what Watkins said and unfortunately discredits some of our resident SMEs.

As for Mr. Istvan's opinions.. He's clearly a very intelligent and has a wealth of knowledge in var0ious areas. (No disrespect toward him - I think we all appreciate his input.) However his points of objection are puzzling to me. If I'm understanding him correctly he's saying that the science behind Eestor's claims is quite possible aside from temperature, stress and cost problems.

- He projects what the price of a 31K component EESU would be based on the retail cost of available ultracaps. How does he know that Eestor doesn't have a manuf process that greatly reduces cost?

- He says the unit will crack because of the "vibrations" during change/discharge. How does he know Eestor doesn't have a new manuf process to correct for this?

- He says the performance Eestor claims is quite possible, but only at room temp. So he says that kills the EESU?!?! I'm only a software engineer, but seems to me they could figure out a way to heat/cool the thing as necessary.

Very strange. He's the most encouraging skeptic I've heard to date.
