furuno’s biography claims that mofa took the initiative , and iwanaga and furuno played a key role in bringing an otherwise reluctant army on board . it explains that the army and dentsū news agency opposed iwanaga’s proposal to amalgamate dentsū and rengō . this was because both dentsū and the army saw the amalgamation as the creation of a rengō - centred news agency . as mofa had been close to rengō , it continues , the army saw this move as a mofa plot to dominate the proposed institution . 70 iwanaga asked furuno to overcome army opposition to the amalgamation . furuno used his contact , lieutenant - colonel suzuki teiichi ( 1888–1989 ) , whom furuno had known since their time together in beijing in the early 1920s . furuno , as his biography claims , proposed to iwanaga to involve suzuki not only in the negotiations for this amalgamation , but also in the inter - ministry committee on information . 71 the politics of the amalgamation of dentsū and rengō was , therefore , far more complex than the simple dichotomy of pro - aggression army ( dentsū ) versus peace - loving mofa ( rengō ) .

rengō tried to implement iwanaga’s proposal in manchuria . in january 1932 , furuno travelled to mukden , the headquarters of the guandong army , and met top officers , lieutenant - colonel honjō shigeru , colonel itagaki seishirō , and lieutenant - colonel ishiwara kanji . he also saw doihara kenji , the head of the army’s special service unit at harbin . furuno had known itagaki well since the time he had been posted to kokusai’s beijing bureau in 1920–23 . 56 these officers endorsed iwanaga’s proposal . they shared iwanaga’s view that ‘news was central in propaganda and a news agency would be a crucial institution of propaganda war’ . 57
today , enl group company operates three offices in auckland , nelson and , more recently , a satellite office in europe supporting its locally manufactured wassp ( wide angle sonar seafloor profiler ) multi - beam sonar . it also supports 70 furuno dealers in new zealand and the south pacific and 30 wassp distributors globally .
in its formative years , the company’s primary focus was the servicing of electronics for the commercial fishing industry . enl then diversified into manufacturing radio direction finders and double sideband radios . during the early 1960s former navy man jack williamson ( mbe ) took over the company and signed up as new zealand’s furuno agent .
the magnetron’s powerful signal usually means it picks up small targets much farther away than solid state , making it the best option for bird radar . furuno’s new drs6a x - class ( $ 5 , 395 to $ 6 , 240 ) , a magnetron product , was specifically designed and dialed in to find birds .
furuno’s latest multi - gnss receiver module , gn - 87 can receive gps ( usa ) , satellite - based augmentation systems ( sbas ) and quasi - zenith satellite system ( qzss , japan ) and glonass ( russia ) concurrently , which significantly improves positioning success rate and robustness against interferences by using different frequency bands .

the fcv - 627 is a high - performance digital fish finder that is mainly designed for use on small fishing and leisure boats . furuno has made a name for itself for over five decades as a leading manufacturer of marine electronic equipment , as seen in the high - quality and user - friendly design of the fcv - 627 .
less labor is the most critical issue in agriculture . it is an issue that has helped promote and justify modern industrial agriculture for the past 50 years . regardless of the intellectual and philosophical argument about organic / sustainable agriculture , modern agriculture will win unless the issue of less labor in the field becomes the top priority , says furuno .
over the last thousand years or so , the people of asia have been devising means of producing more food in smaller areas under limited conditions . crop rotation and cash crop methods require time to be effective , but farming with ducks is effective at once . in the end , the ducks and the fish can be eaten , says furuno .
russel thomas and duncan cox to provide servicing of marine electronics for the commercial fishing industry . it was taken over by former navy man , jack williamson , in the 1960s who took on the agency for japanese electronics company , furuno . in 1986 the company was bought by mike hodson whose son , gareth , is the current managing director .
in the next three decades , population growth will lead to a 70 % increase in the demand for rice . the green revolution , which increased food yields through intensive monocropping and use of inorganic fertilizers , pesticides and herbicides , is recognized today as unsustainable and environmentally unsound . annual increases in the use of chemical fertilizers now outstrip the growth of rice yields , causing declining incomes and intensifying rural to urban migration . alternative systems are necessary . in the mid 1970s , takao furuno , a high - spirited farmer who had been influenced by rachel carson ' s silent spring , was determined to turn his farm organic . furuno spent ten years doing the backbreaking work of pulling out weeds by hand . in 1988 , he came upon a traditional practice of using aigamo ducks to protect rice . the ducks eat insects , pests and snails . they also use their feet to dig up weeds , in the process oxygenating the water and strengthening the roots of rice plants . furuno lovingly calls this method the
duck effect
and his farm yields have soared .
there are currently a few solid - state compasses available for the recreational marine - electronics market . players include airmar’s gh2183 and h2183 sensors , b & g’s precision 9 , garmin’s nine - axis heading sensor , maretron’s ssc300 solid - state compass and raymarine’s ev1 . each of these provide night - and - day performance improvements over windancer’s old fluxgate compass . additionally , furuno’s pg700 heading sensor is a “hybrid” compass that uses a solid - state accelerometer and a flux - gate magnetometer whose core continually floats , thanks to an “infinite” axis design . according to eric kunz , furuno’s senior product manager , this hybrid solution offers “the same accuracy of the latest mems designs without the computational requirements to achieve it . ”
a report on furuno ' s study was published in a well - known academic journal in japan and helped promote his theory with an ngo called the japan aigamo duck association . later , through experimentation , he discovered that the addition of certain fish ( loaches ) and a nitrogen - fixing weed ( azolla ) to paddies boosted rice and duck growth .
professor morii had confident in his theory and experimental work , but the biggest issue was how his experimental work could be applied to rice paddies outside a lab . one day , the professor saw a local news program on tv , reporting on furuno ' s duck and rice farming business and saying he would have a lecture at a location near his university .
we ' re blessed with some amazing fishing here in new zealand ! arguably the worlds best snapper , kingfish , swordfish and striped marlin fisheries . make the most of it with the worlds best fish finders ! at furuno new zealand we ' ve got the best range of fish finding marine electronics to help you make the most of your time on the water .
akao furuno , a spirited farmer who was influenced by rachel carson ' s
silent spring ,
wanted to make his kyushu farm all - organic about 25 years ago and since then he has mainly produced quality organic rice . in 2001 , he was chosen as one of the 40 outstanding social entrepreneurs in the world by the schwab foundation for social entrepreneurship .
garmin introduced its fantom 4 - and 6 - foot open arrays with doppler in february and its dome versions ( fantom 18 and 24 ) in november . furuno introduced its nxt 24 - inch doppler radome this past february . both companies’ products show approaching targets ( moving more than 3 knots ) in red ( or in one case with garmin , magenta ) .
the program has also added capability for more import / export flexibility . in particular , it will now handle the c - map , raymarine c / e - series , furuno rat / rou and garmin userdata . adm formats directly . i also made the ascii ( text ) import / export routines be much more flexible to handle almost any organization of data .
developed fcv - 620 , a fish finder with a 5 . 6 - inch lcd for the recreational boat market . purchased a 49 % stake in french company signet s . a . and convertible bonds . established furuno europe b . v . in the netherlands . developed s - vdr ( simplified voyage data recorder ) vr - 3000s . developed ultra sensitive gps receiver .
had an issue with international use of a comma for a decimal point and fixed that . put limits on lat and lon so that in the event the format was not quite right , nonsense values would not be displayed . found that / windows 10 did not include a library called comctl32 . ocx , so added that . fixed an issue with importing furuno tzd files .
the second group of experts was from rengō , namely iwanaga and furuno , and sasaki kenji , who was sent to mukden as a rengō correspondent in mid - november 1931 . 42 while the smr men worked on propaganda within the military - occupied manchuria , the guandong army relied on rengō for overseas propaganda . rengō eagerly offered help . according to sasaki’s memoir of 1942 , upon his arrival at mukden as rengō’s correspondent on 17 november 1931 , he called on the guandong army headquarters . the guandong army told him that it saw ‘internal’ propaganda going well in manchuria , but was concerned with its ‘bad international publicity’ . they asked sasaki’s advice on ‘international publicity’ . he contacted furuno in tokyo , who assured sasaki that rengō would come up with a good solution .
radar ( 1934 ) developed as a rudimentary but functional pulse unit in 1934 at the u . s . naval research laboratory , radar — radio detection and ranging — was further refined by british scientists . the first small - boat radars came from decca , furuno and raytheon as early as 1954 . in addition to its navigational function , radar provides vital weather data for mariners .
new zealand ' s favourite fish finder just got even better ! the all new tztouch 2 with inbuilt rezboost fish finder combines furuno ' s superior fish finding capabilities with the ease of use of a touch screen . scroll back and mark bait balls on your sounder and overlay them on your plotter , see just how big the fish are with accufish and all for a hot new price .
wireless radar ( 2015 ) furuno’s drs4w 1st watch wireless radar proved to the world that it’s possible to display and even control marine radar on a mobile device . the compact , 4 kw radome broadcasts a wi - fi signal and uses a free app to display radar returns on up to two devices at once . the 12 - volt power to the dome draws less than 2 amps .
71 ibid . pp . 193–4 . it is unclear , however , whether such negotiations took place before or after june 1932 . furuno’s biography mentions the involvement of uchida yasuya , shigemitsu mamoru , and amō eiji . uchida was foreign minister after july 1932 . shigemitsu became vice minister one year later in may 1933 , and amō became director of the department of information , also in june 1933 .
changed the icon column so that you can enter icons not on the list . be aware that the import export routines translate my icons into what i think is the appropriate icon for each brand . added a warning in the furuno navnet importer if the lat / lon is corrupt . added the capability to use the function keys during data entry for numbers in the lat / lon and loran fields .
i ' m going to name my own thread

formed in december 1945 , the company started as a small public company by dr russel thomas and mr duncan cox . 70 years later the enl group company operates between its three offices in auckland and nelson , and more recently a satellite office in europe supporting its locally manufactured global brand wassp multi - beam sonar . add to that its 70 furuno dealers in new zealand and the south pacific and 30 wassp distributors globally .


eestor is a company based in cedar park , texas , united states that claims to have developed a solid state polymer capacitor for electricity storage .

the company claims the device stores more energy than lithium-ion batteries at a lower cost than lead-acid batteries used in gasoline-powered cars .

such a device would revolutionize the electric car industry .

many experts believe these claims are not realistic and eestor has yet to publicly demonstrate these claims .

the corporate slogan is " energy everywhere " .

just wondering…if eestor is real , why build combinations of li / ion and eestore rather than pure eestor drive trains ? are there ways that li / ion is superior to eestor ? would the combo get to market faster ? i can see the advantages of eestor ( if it’s real ) but i don’t see the advantage of a combination . thanks

eestor is a company purportedly on the cusp of commercializing a potentially disruptive technology . eestor president , former hard drive scientist dick weir has been trying to develop something called the eesu or electric energy storage unit .
eestor corporation announced its audited financial results for the three months and year - ended september 30 , 2016 .
in april 2009 eestor announced third - party certification of permittivity . the press release did not mention at what voltage it was tested , so eestor ' s uniquely - high energy density claims remain to be demonstrated .
the original eestor blogger . in it , we get the first claims of several important points related to eestor . i ' m going to list a few of the key facts and then post the entire entry .
an independantly verified public test is the only way forward on eestor , anything less is magic unicorn horns .
a succesful eestor means quick engineering job yanking out the range extender and losing more than a few pounds .
“eestor’s announcement reveals continued progress in developing their electrical energy storage unit , ” said ian clifford , ceo of zenn . “we remain focused on fulfilling our cityzenn and zennergytm drivetrain programs , the first implementations of eestor’s eesu .
that tells me they are being a little more vigilant with eestor and place some measure of importance on the patent . eestor isn’t the only outfit developing ultracaps and apparently they won’t be allowed to squat on the patent .
one big difference with failed ventures and eestor is eestor is a scam . 7466536 eesu patent is fraudulent , just as the slick con artist dick weir stated to his pr agent , enabler of eestor ' s fraud , the blogger with the bag on his head joseph murphy , he ( eestor ) has accomplished 14 major breakthroughs . if joseph murphy was interested in the truth and just a reporter in this eestor story as he wants people to believe , he should have asked dick weir to list his 14 major breakthroughs , but he didn ' t .
eestor isn’t the only company in the ultracapacitor game . they have competitors like maxwell technologies and energ2 in seattle .

“leveraging zennergy drive , powered by eestor , across the industry is such a massive opportunity , ” he says . “last year 48 , 000 , 000 new cars built fit within our 1400 kg exclusivity on eestor’s technology . ”
he clarifies that although eestor will do component testing in september they may or may not reveal those results publicly .
eestor corporation ( esu . v ) ( “eestor” or the “company” ) announced today that it has published a new report detailing the comparative advantages of its ceramic - based dielectric capacitor for the decoupling capacitor market . the report , prepared by eestor and its consultants , directly compares its certified solid - state technology against incumbent decoupling capacitors . according to paumanok publications analyst and eestor consultant dennis zogbi , the main driving factor for the existing capacitor market is cost .
the company considers the high relative permittivity achieved by eestor on its cmbt material , when viewed in conjunction with and in large part as a result of eestor ' s previously communicated accomplishments , to be an important step towards eestor ' s planned commercialization of eesus that meet or exceed the specifications outlined in the technology agreement between the two companies .
“with respect to the initial component testing , it is up to eestor to announce the results , ” he said . “it should be noted that while eestor publicly stated their intention to complete component testing , they did not indicate if they would publicly disclose those results . component testing is not a milestone in our technology agreement with eestor . ”
lockheed has not tested prototypes , but toured eestor ' s facility . lockheed was
very impressed
with eestor , noting
they are taking an approach that lends itself to a very quick ramp - up in production .
“with respect to the anticipated timeline of eestor’s technology , ” said clifford . “eestor has publicly stated that they expect to complete initial component testing in september 2009 and deliver functional technology to zmc by the end of the year . ”

/ can’t wait for those eestor powered zenn’s this fall…how are they coming again ? to be fair , i think the early models are not actually going to be fueled with electricity , but rather by burning patents pending on eestor tech .

please don ' t spread more misinformation about eestor . dick weir , ceo of eestor never sent any eesu samples to afrl , dod , doe , or darpa for testing . these are the afrl emails obtained through freedom of information act ( the apologist and enabler of eestor ' s fraud don ' t want you to look back at these afrl emails ) :
through a wholly - owned subsidiary , the company made a us $ 2 . 5 million equity investment in eestor on april 30 , 2007 , for an approximate 3 . 8 % ownership position of eestor . under the terms of the initial share purchase agreement , zmc has an additional investment option of up to us $ 5 million at the same valuation upon eestor ' s successful completion of this permittivity milestone . the investment is subject to reduction based on participation by other eestor shareholders .
in february 2008 , polarity inc , a maker of electronic voltage converters , filed a patent referencing eestor ' s technology .
do you really think that ic would make this announcement unless he knew that eestor would deliver . don’t be so ignorant .
yeah li - ion drivetrains are superior to eestor based drivetrains in that they exist . they are based on actual technology from this reality . i’d say the biggest disadvantage to the eestor drivetrain is not is price , power , or capacity , but rather its inability to actually exist outside of human imagination . that’s the only thing holding me back from fully supporting eestor .
eestor again all talk no proof ! ! ! ! the only thing i can think of is , eestor techology may be very easy to duplicate , if this were true then once you let the battery out of the bottle the race is on , china , south korea and a host of other country’s will use the paper used to patten eestor’s tech as toilet paper .
i don’t know much about how the patent office usually does business , but i don’t think they routinely send out the kind of notice that they sent eestor . in the notice they bacically told eestor to demonstrate commercial viability or get their patent cancelled .
the eestor eesu is expected to outperform every chemical battery on the market in terms of energy density , charge time , cost , and overall performance . according to eestor , their energy storage technology is expected to provide the following key characteristics once commercialized :

okay , here it is from an eestor release of january 16 , 2007 . doesn’t say if those pending are usa or otherwise .
instead zenn will focus on producing electric drivetrains called zennergy drive systems that will be eestor - powered and would be supplied to automakers .
news release : zenn motor company ' s strategic energy storage partner , eestor inc . confirms progress towards commercialization of its technology
zenn has just put out a press release to discuss the outcome of a strategic review . company chair rick mcgraw has decided to resign because of the “greater time commitment” being required of his role . ceo brian cott is also stepping down , which i was fully expecting . the company says that beyond these management changes it will continue to simplify the structure of the company with a eye to increasing its working relationship with eestor . “as part of the strategic review , the board spent considerable time in meetings and discussions with eestor to determine the best path for the company going forward . a strong relationship with eestor is the company’s priority . the pace of development and achievement of key milestones as well as disclosure relating to these events are all under the control of eestor . the company maintains a regular dialogue with eestor and intends to increase its interaction with eestor and , where appropriate , collaborate with and assist eestor , ” according to the release .
so , what do you build your case on ? for anyone trying to establish credibility for their view on eestor , it ' s important to cite actual facts . that ' s why the initial internet revelation of eestor ' s existence is an interesting one to examine .
eestor has been putting together 52 kwh esu ' s since 2009 too ( sarcasm in case you missed it ) . then there are the fake patent
test
data . eestor stock pumpers never give up with the bs . i ' ll believe rossi has working cold fusion before i believe that eestor bunch has dog biscuits . graphene is real and at least has a chance of being translated into reality .
going further , if you put the first question as the eestor question and used the second common question to beg the first question , what i accomplish is equating the common use of the “forest” question to the eestor question . did eestor verify their component ? yes , we assume he did but it does not really matter or exist for us so the reader can feel the close association with the “forest” question .
testing in phase 4 and phase 5 also show that eestor ' s dielectric operates in the paraelectric phase between - 20c and + 65c . the testing today shows eestor ' s cmbt is stable at high temperatures as dielectric insulation resistance does not decrease significantly at 65 degrees c .
in january 2008 , lockheed - martin signed an agreement with eestor for the exclusive rights to integrate and market eesu units in military and homeland security applications but did not invest any money . lockheed has not tested prototypes , but toured eestor ' s facility . lockheed was
very impressed
with eestor , noting
they are taking an approach that lends itself to a very quick ramp - up in production .
oh yeah , the topic of the thread… . eestor . still full of crap - o - la if you ask me , lol .
supposidly cold fusion is seriously being looked at again by several research groups and the us gov . but just like eestor… . no prototypes .
eestor believes that relative permittivity of 15 , 476 and an insulation resistance of 10 . 7 mega ohms of this initial new material test layer represents a major breakthrough in eestor , inc . new dielectric materials . by comparison , a 0 . 22 micro farad 100 v capacitor manufactured by epcos has a volume of 0 . 216 cubic centimeters or 214 times bigger than eestor ' s equivalent capacitance . capacitance is directly proportional to energy storage and this high capacitance volume also indicates the ability of eestor , inc . to potentially exceed its energy storage operating targets .
a zenn press release indicates they were able to get a 10 . 7 % stake because other eestor investors did not increase their stake .
“instead zenn will focus on producing electric drivetrains called zennergy drive systems that will be eestor - powered and would be supplied to automakers . ”
but i won’t get too excited or invest any money in eestor / zenn before they have proof . don’t waste your time on promises .
i don’t think there is much doubt that eestor has a few working models of their device and doesn’t need further verification that they work .
a day later , at zenn’s agm in toronto , company chairman and chief executive james kofman gave eestor investors and groupies a clearer picture of what to expect in the months ahead , and spoke about the state of zenn’s relationship with eestor , which hasn’t disclosed anything publicly since 2009 .
eestor corporation ( esu . v ) , developers of an innovative solid state electrical storage technology , today announce the launch of “the new alternative - electrolytic replacement” , the first in a new informational video series that details market - specific test results based on eestor’s advanced technology . the video series will provide viewers with information on the benefits of eestor’s capacitor materials and offers expert commentary for engineers , scientists , shareholders and financial analysts .
all of this is no surprise . zenn is trying the best it can to conserve cash until eestor delivers on what it has promised . there are no shocking departures here . all restructuring is orderly , and that is a good sign . and while we’re all impatient to see whether eestor can deliver , i guess the good news is that the zenn / eestor relationship remains strong and the two companies are planning to work more closely together . being a media guy , however , i’m still uber curious about the role that allan greg is playing here on eestor’s board .
what odd statements . ' cmbt has no clear advantage ' ? this is from the guy who bet against eestor and said that if eestor had a k of 10 , 000 at 1 v / um , it would be worth billions ? ( they have that . . . read more
in september 2009 underwriters laboratories ' priya l . tabaddor , phd stated
we have received a request to certify eestor ' s product .
in december 2008 , a patent application was filed by lockheed - martin that mentions eestor ' s patent as a possible electrical energy storage unit .
if they really had something , they would be showing up in washington dc demonstrating a zenn eestor powered car with their hands out for billions .
gm has stated they are working with and evaluating eestor tech . gm has stated they would like to lower battery costs and raise battery performance through volt generation three . feel free to draw your own conclusions for eestor device volt applications in that time frame . after all it’s only speculation !
eestor has never made any such claim or reported to have made any such obvservation . they just did the calculation . it’s just a mistake .
polarity ' s website stated they were awarded a contract in 2009 to supply eestor with a voltage converter to be used by zenn electric cars .
zenn plans to cancel all production of electric vehicles by april 2010 , leaving ownership of eestor and their rights to the technology as their focus .
even if the eestor cell turns out to be real you are not going to get a significant charge from a standard outlet in 5 minutes .
i’d have to guess that gm’s most optimistic estimate of eestor is , “not happening any time soon” and their most realistic one is “scam . ”
on april 24 , 2017 eestor completed raising capital in the amount of $ 3 , 620 , 000 from private placement . in addition to general corporate purposes , this capital is planned to be used to accelerate eestor ' s product and business development efforts . [ 37 ] [ 38 ]
on may 8 , 2014 zenn and eestor complete an exchange offer which gives zenn a total ownership of 71 . 3 % in eestor . following the zenn controlling ownership on may 19 , ian clifford assumes role of ceo following the resignation of james kofman . [ 56 ] [ 57 ]
so , too , did management at zenn , which through its investment and technology rights agreement with eestor was betting the farm that weir would deliver . as a publicly traded company , zenn was a proxy for eestor – a way for retail investors to back what was an extremely speculative opportunity .
eestor corporation ( esu . v ) , developers of an innovative solid state electrical storage technology , today announced the launch of “the new alternative - electrolytic replacement” , the first in a new informational video series that details market - specific test results based on eestor’s advanced technology . the video series will provide viewers with information on the benefits of eestor’s capacitor materials and offers expert commentary for engineers , scientists , shareholders and financial analysts . “we chose to share this information through a video series that is both more personal and engaging than a powerpoint presentation , ” said ian clifford , ceo of eestor .
so what does that means ? it means that going forward , as part of zenn’s latest minority investment in eestor , the company will have greater access to eestor and insight into its progress . as well , eestor will have to do a better job of disclosing that progress publicly . “i met ( eestor founder and ceo ) dick weir before i joined the board and went down to austin . we have kept a very regular dialogue . a number of directors have kept a regular dialogue with him , and also have visited with eestor in texas , ” said kofman , in an effort to give investors more confidence that zenn isn’t oblivious to what’s going down in austin . “we now have a very clear agreement with eestor which provides for a mechanism for them to publicly reveal where their technology is , and to do so certified by a third - party expert in the near term . ”
the zenn car will be the first commercial application of eestor’s new energy storage system . the company is expecting delivery of the systems later this year .
regarding concerns about temperature , leakage , and ceramic brittleness , weir did not reply to an e - mail asking him how eestor overcomes such issues .
weir says that eestor’s latest production milestones lay the foundation for what follows . it has taken longer than originally expected , he says , but the company is now in a position to deploy more - advanced technologies for the production of military - grade applications , alluding to eestor’s partnership with lockheed martin .
in a release issued earlier today by eestor ( tsx - v : esu ) with the headline
eestor corporation reports fiscal first quarter 2018 results ,
please note the headline should read
fiscal second quarter ,
not
fiscal first quarter
as previously stated . the corrected release follows :
in july 2005 , kleiner perkins caufield & byers invested $ 3 million in eestor . they have not had any comment on the technology or company .
i wonder…what is the relative permittivity of pixie dust ? if tinker bell is on the payroll at eestor , it would explain a few things . 🙂
after years of mysterious debate and passed milestones , recently eestor announced their material had the permittivity , or ability to store energy , that it claimed .
eestor , inc . shows preliminary results from paraelectric dielectric path - - cedar park , texas , jan . 28 , 2013 / prnewswire / - -
[ / sup ] in september 2007 , eestor co - founder richard weir told cnet production would begin in the middle of 2008 . [ sup ]
the company ' s extensive studies , which resulted in the phase 4 and phase 5 testing reports , are based on an epoxy / cmbt solution . today ' s reports show that eestor ' s dielectric , when densified with other binders , can now extend eestor technology to address the grid storage market .
if i was ian clifford of zenn , i think i’d be be calling the patent office every day to get them to put a fire under eestor . i believe mr . wier of eestor said a while back that he had gone through all his money and sounded like he was fishing for more .
full eestor press release : cedar park , texas , april 22 / prnewswire / — eestor , inc . announces relative permittivity certification of their composition modified barium - titanate powders . the third party certification tests were performed by texas research international’s dr . edward g . golla , phd . , laboratory director . he has certificated that eestor’s patented and patent pending composition modified barium - titanate powders have met and / or exceeded a relative permittivity of 22 , 500 .
don’t worry about eestor making the volt obsolete ; gm will “leapfrog” the whole eesu field by a multi - billion dollar research program to perfect diolithium crystals .
eestor , inc . had the area and thickness of the new material layer certified by tescom at eestor , inc . using tescom calibrated eestor , inc . equipment . tescom was called in to certify these results due to scheduling issues with criteria labs . subsequent testing will be conducted by criteria labs . the equipment used to measure the area and thickness was certified by tescom , a calibration company which was selected by criteria for the certification of the equipment used in their
lockheed - martin signed an agreement with eestor for the rights to integrate and market eesu units in military and security applications but did not invest any money .
in july 2009 zenn motor company invested an additional $ 5 million in eestor , increasing its share of ownership to 10 . 7 % . [ 20 ] a zenn press release indicates they were able to get a 10 . 7 % stake because other eestor investors did not increase their stake . [ 21 ]
on december 30 , 2013 zenn announces completion of the purchase of series a preferred shares of eestor ( includes kleiner perkins caufield & byers shares and other private holders shares ) and the associated rights for us $ 1 . 5 million which gives zenn a total ownership of 41 % in eestor . [ 55 ]
you can ' t learn a lot from looking at the web site of kleiner perkins caufield & byers either . the firm is reportedly an investor in eestor , but eestor is not listed as a portfolio company on the firm ' s site . venture firms , however , do this at times with stealth companies .
recent developments , however , raise a question as to whether investors care about anything but speculating on eestor . the stock skyrocketed more than 100 percent in april when eestor announced ( . pdf ) that its “composition modified barium - titanate powders have met and / or exceeded a relative permittivity of 22 , 500 . ”
we ' ve made repeated attempts to contact the company and its ceo , dick weir , to no avail . here is some of our eestor coverage from last year , which includes a musical lament . the firm ' s website is no longer online and the usual fevered musings of the eestor blogosphere have slowed .
personally , i’ve been hopeful over the past two years that eestor is indeed for real . but i’m beginning to have my doubts now . i just confirmed that morton topfer , former vice - chairman of dell and director with amd , left eestor’s board about five months ago . not sure why… but it begs the question . also , a well - placed person within the kleiner perkins circle told me recently that he’s not convinced eestor’s energy storage system will work as claimed .
on february 16 , 2016 eestor announced a new director – michael michalyshyn . [ 22 ] michael michalyshyn is an experienced attorney with a background in licensing and intellectual property law . [ 23 ] as head of blackberry ' s technology licensing group , mr . michalyshyn was involved in blackberry ' s acquisition of qnx software systems . [ 24 ] [ 25 ] part of his responsibilities at eestor will be assisting in the licensing of eestor ' s capacitor and energy storage technologies .
eestor corp ' s mission is to be the provider of leading edge electrical energy storage and related technologies . the company operates on the principle . . . more
on january 12th , eestor corp . announced the hiring of dr . abhijit paul , principal polymer scientist , to its technical team in cedar park , texas .
yes , the source materials for eestor are a little cheaper , but the huge amounts of energy required for purification will dwarf the expense of the source materials .
ugh , eestor should either show us a product , or shut up about the product . we want to see something working . not just text on paper .
while there has been a lot of skepticism of eestor’s claims , based on it’s tightly - sealed secrecy , most fans of electric vehicles would welcome the technology .
quite honestly , i would a lot rather have a zenn / eestor licensed , gm manufactured , driveline in my car than have the hardware sourced from zenn .
as for eestor , that company is also nearing a point where it can install its devices , according to a recent interview usually close - mouthed ceo dick weir recently did with the cleantech group . according to weir , eestor’s ultracapacitors have a discharge rate that’s slower than batteries , so they could potentially replace batteries entirely .
that’s good news for zenn , a publicly traded electric car maker , because the company has been promising cars based on eestor technology to investors for over a year . eestor itself hasn’t been much help , though ; the press - shy company has rarely spoken up for itself , and still won’t talk about potential applications .
one exception may be the company , eestor . eestor is the assignee of u . s . pat . nos . 7 , 033 , 406 and 7 , 466 , 536 , which are directed to low void and low defect batio 3 structures . batio 3 possesses abnormally large dielectric constants but voids and defects from traditional syntheses lead to poor electric breakdown robustness . eestor claims to have solved this problem with low - temperature and kinetically labile synthetic routes . however , considerable skepticism remains about the commercial viability and scalability of their product . in addition , even in the eestor materials , dielectric constants of ε > 10 4 are unlikely in production .
“mr . kofman commented , “the results to date at eestor have obviously been very disappointing for everyone . it is clear from our work that eestor remains a long way from a commercial product . the team has worked hard since acquiring control of eestor on january 27 , 2014 , to understand the technology and its prospects . the work of the technical advisory committee ( “tac” ) , which has been a huge benefit to zenn , has confirmed the challenges the company had identified . while there is reason to be optimistic that there may be applications for the eestor technology in existing capacitor markets , the real goal of achieving meaningful energy storage is unclear . “
eestor corp . provides edge energy storage solutions and related technologies . the company currently operates in multiple industries of manufacturing , which includes automotive , printing , telecommunications , electronics , industrial products , food grade products , packaging , household and consumer goods . eestor was founded by ian clifford in 2000 and is headquartered in toronto , canada .
[ / sup ] in march 2008 zenn stated in a quarterly report a
late 2009
launch was scheduled for an eestor - enabled ev . [ sup ]
a source sent me some documents from an foia request from the air force research lab ( afrl ) at kirtland . they seem to indicate that the afrl is puzzled over eestor ' s story and unwilling to be associated with the firm . the redacted documents follow . note the comment that eestor is
full of it .
“quite honestly , i would a lot rather have a zenn / eestor licensed , gm manufactured , driveline in my car than have the hardware sourced from zenn . ”
as whatever ? how long over due is eestor anyway ? one or two years ? it is about time for them to put up or shut up . imo .
i believe that if eestor were real gm or some other big company would just buy them out . the reason why it hasn’t happened is because nobody believes them .
on a separate note if eestor doesn’t come up with a working model , ( which i personally believe they won’t ) , conspiracy theorists will say that big oil got to eestor and stopped them . come to think of it i should set up a website . might even get a book deal . “how big oil foiled energy independence”
delay , leak , and secrecy , has been the name of the game for these guys . if people are suspicious of them , it is eestor’s own fault .
if their technology is legitimate , eestor could be the biggest thing to come out of texas since zz top in the 70s or the first big oil gushers . let’s hope that eestor electrifies the auto industry like zz top guitarist billy gibbons has been doing for the past 30 years . if everything works as they say it does , the top guys at eestor will soon have more money than jerry jones who just opened up a $ 1 . 2 billion dollar football stadium in dallas this week .
in january 2008 , lockheed - martin signed an agreement with eestor for the exclusive rights to integrate and market eesu units in military and homeland security applications . [ 52 ] in december 2008 , a patent application was filed by lockheed - martin that mentions eestor ' s patent as a possible electrical energy storage unit . [ 53 ]
toronto , ontario - - ( marketwire - may 21 , 2009 ) - zenn motor company inc . (
zmc
or
the company
) ( tsx venture : znn ) , a leading developer of zero emission transportation solutions and technologies , is pleased to announce that it has completed its due diligence on eestor , inc . ' s (
eestor
) stated permittivity results of the manufacturing - grade chemicals to be used in eestor ' s electrical energy storage units ( eesu ) . the permittivity results were publicly announced by eestor in a press release dated april 22 , 2009 which they subsequently updated in a press release on april 29 , 2009 .
in july 2009 zenn motor company , as a result of the april 2009 permittivity tests , invested an additional $ 5 million in eestor , increasing its share of ownership to 10 . 7 % . a zenn press release indicates they were able to get a 10 . 7 % stake because other eestor investors did not increase their stake .
you’re right , rashiid … . . it is potentially good news & good to get an update on eestor . but the question still remains as to whether eestor is too good to be true . as lyle describes it above , eestor plans on “mass producing a new type of battery that would surpass lithium ion in every way . its far cheaper to produce , several times more energy dense , can be recharged in minutes and has a functionally unlimited lifetime . ” wow ! i certainly hope they succeed !
i made my “against the flow , ” “what if it’s real” comment on one of the many earlier eestor posts . now , i’m just weary of the whole thing .
. the press release did not mention the voltage at which it was tested , so eestor ' s uniquely high energy density claims remain to be demonstrated . [ sup ]
what can i say to all the skeptics . “on september 18 , 2009 it was reported underwriters laboratories has received a request to certify eestor’s product . “we have received a request to certify eestor’s product , ” said priya l . tabaddor , phd , global energy services , underwriters laboratories , inc . [ 23 ] ” out of wikipedia .
we have received a request to certify eestor ' s product ,
said priya l . tabaddor , phd , global energy services , underwriters laboratories , inc . ”
we now plan to increase our shareholder position in eestor to the fullest extent possible ,
stated ian clifford .
in addition to our exclusive automotive applications , our equity position in eestor gives our shareholders a stake in the many potential mass applications eestor can pursue , such as powering portable consumer electronics , improving the performance of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar generation , and increasing the efficiency and stability of power grids around the world .
should the other eestor shareholders exercise their maximum investment , the company ' s additional investment would be limited to us $ 2 , 000 , 000 . the company ' s total minimum and maximum equity interest in eestor following the investment would be in the range of approximately 6 . 2 % to 10 . 5 % . details of the additional equity investment will be provided by the company when determined .
it’s been a long time coming , and many have already declared the company dead — or at least close to it . back in december 2010 greentech media posed the question : is the eestor saga finished ? since then , those who aren’t eestor diehards have come to the conclusion that , yes , it’s pretty much over . of course , eestor was the major focus of a chapter in my book mad like tesla ( to buy on amazon click here ) , so i have a personal interest in seeing things through to their true end . based on comments made yesterday by eestor - investor zenn motor co . at its annual general meeting , the dream still appears to be very much alive .
eestor ' s dielectric shows capacitance rises with temperature and is insensitive to frequency . ferroelectric barium titanate capacitors lose capacitance with heat and their performance is very frequency dependent as shown :
“sho me the eestor” so it can be tested by a real lab . until then i’ll tape batteries to a toaster and tell the world i’ve solved the worlds energy problems .
i always think as many do here that the eestor company is likely a scam . however , ever since lockheed had signed on awhile ago , i keep having this nagging suspicion that eestor could be legit . i mean , you have to wonder , if eestor is truly a scam , then wouldn’t have lockheed been able to sniff that out by now ? this is lockheed for pete’s sake , you know , the maker of the stealth bomber ? someone needs to reconcile this for me before i can completely write them off .
[ / sup ] a zenn press release indicates they were able to get a 10 . 7 % stake because other eestor investors did not increase their stake . [ sup ]
eestor claims the eesu can store far more electrical energy than any other type of capacitor , and that it could be used to propel a small car for about 300 miles .
zenn has received $ 34 million from the equity markets in the past 3 years , and spent $ 10 . 1 million of the proceeds on eestor ownership and technology rights .
i’d like to think that eestor is real ( of course ) , but also that zenn’s true aim is to spread the new enabling reality as far and wide as possible .
if anyone knows of a web link that explains eestor’s affiliation with the divinity , it would strengthen my faith . if not…i guess that i’m mistaken and apologize for misleading anyone .
now , if i was assuming that eestor did verify their component and still asked if it still happened , then i am still begging the question , in the traditional sense .
eestor has publicly indicated an objective of delivering functional technology to zmc by the end of the calendar year . zmc is confident in their ability to meet that objective .
in february 2008 , polarity inc , a maker of electronic voltage converters , filed a patent referencing eestor ' s technology . polarity ' s website stated they were awarded a contract in 2009 to supply eestor with a voltage converter to be used by zenn electric cars . in december 2009 zenn canceled plans for the car but plans to supply the drive train .
zenn motor company inc . has changed its name to
eestor corporation
to better reflect the focus and activities of the company . [ 58 ] the name change was approved by shareholders at the company ' s annual and special meeting held on march 31 , 2015 . eestor corporation formerly ( zenn motor company ) publicly trades on the canadian exchanges as symbol esu [ 59 ] and on the us stock exchanges as otc stock symbol znnmf . [ 60 ] eestor corporation holds 71 % equity while the other percent is held by privately .
eestor expects to achieve even greater levels of densification in the coming weeks . together with ongoing development of its binders , eestor is targeting test samples with near complete densification that will have operating voltages well in excess of 3000 volts ( or 40 volts per micron ) . operational voltages of these magnitudes have been achieved on 70 micron layers with eestor ' s 80 % fill factor cmbt epoxy system . if operational voltages of this magnitude can be maintained or exceeded in a 70 micron layer with today ' s dielectric constant of 16000 , eestor will have a disruptive solid state grid energy storage solution . such a layer would outperform lead acid batteries of similar energy densities on lifetime , depth of discharge , and power in and out .
zenn motors ( zmc ) , a canadian company that makes neighborhood electric vehicles , has partial ownership and an agreement with eestor to use the technology exclusively in vehicles under 3086 pounds .
as soon as eestor reaches its optimal constituent tuning of its latest layers it will complete the testing and certification with criteria labs . the tests and certification of these samples will include :
i would bet money that zenn will not have any eestor eesus to install in cars any time this year . ( and i would very much want to lose the bet ! )
