EEStor Blog Updates

You'll notice a few minor changes to this EEStor blog today.  The immediate intent is to make it easier for people searching for information about electric cars to learn about EEStor and how it's technology compares to other technologies vying for the electric vehicle market. Assuming all goes well, as EEStor develops as a company, it's appeal and recognition will begin with electric cars made by Zenn Motor Co but it will surely move to other applications such as ipods, blackberries, cell phones and even to power grid stabilization, etc.  As Ian Clifford has said of EEStor technology, "from pacemaker to power plant."

Found this comment about Richard Weirs, worth noting and posting here.

Si02. I've heard about this company before and in DD saw that a Richard Weir was there co-founder, if this is the same Dick Weir that was in the disk drive business up in Si Valley in the 80's & 90's I'd dig as deep as necessary into EEstor tech claims. Had the same level of claims about storage devices that never quite got into production. He's a brilliant guy and got things to "work" in the lab, but could never translate into production.

Regarding the Richard Weir critic..

I know nothing about Mr Weir, but I do know that we all have our critics. No one who has any significant time in business is without detractors. Even this critic says Weir is a brilliant guy.

Can't give it much weight. Who knows where this motivation come from.

Actually I think the critics gave both praise and concerns, was very balanced and seemed to be truthful, in fact the current status support it. Considering eestor is behind their original promise of delivering 15k in 2007, the extreme difficulty in producing the purity, and defect free processing with no voids is a daunting task, and perhaps it can’t be done. Is Dick playing a game with us? He is not answering the questions the blogger is asking, in fact he says, we made great progress since we last talked, humm he just said a month before we will be releasing permittivity test soon. On the other hand I’ve heard two sources saying facility expansion, is this after the permittivity results are favorable, if ever?

Valid concerns mrjerry. I think those are all of our concerns. Without knowing, we can have all kinds of thoughts. No knowing is why Zenn stock is not $1, and it's not $20+.

I'm invested in Zenn because from all the info I can gather and clues I've interpreted, I think they're going to do it. It's strictly a judgement call. If Weir comes out with a product that does nothing close to what he says it will do, I will be doing a bit of cursing.

Weir is in a strange position at this point. He owes the public nothing by way of info on their progress. He's likely not scraping up any more VC capital until the results are out, so what's the point in falsely spinning? I've heard no claims from anyone who claims to know him and says he's a con man. The concensus seems to be he's a smart scientist type who wants to save the country/world. If he was poised to fail, my personal opinion is that he wouldn't be claiming to be about to accomplish EVERYTHING he set out to do.

Significant increase in demand for Zenn LSV.

http://www.auto123.com/en/news/car-news/a-tour-of-the-zenn-cars-assembly-plant-in-st-jerome-video?artid=99084

We had the opportunity to visit the ZENN assembly plant, where the current capacity is three units a day. With the increasing demand, the facility and its workers will be able to produce up 30 cars a day. Right now, the entire process takes about 16 hours (or two work shifts) for a single ZENN. Of course, St. Jerome is only responsible for the assembly; every component is manufactured elsewhere before being shipped here.

Greetings:

I'm sure that this question has been asked many times.
But is there a date for when the first Eestor battery will be installed in a Zenn car to see if it really works?
Will this happen in Q3, or Q4 of 2008?

Regards Robert
