Hi Richard,
The first task is to develop wire. That is a three year program at
$6 million/year = $18 million. We expect to begin that program by
the end of this quarter.
I'm glad to hear that you're getting close to fabricating a wire Mark
Once wire exists, a licensee is likely to focus on the energy
storage application. We would expect to work with them and cross
license any patents they develop.
I've heard you talk about the potential for doing things like
magnetic levitation, which I assume would involve winding a coil out
of it. Your post raised a question about ultra capacitors. If you
were to fabricate a plate of your material, and sandwitch it between
a layer of high dielectric strength material, would it be possible to
produce a ultra capacitor? When we had the tread about ultra
capacitors, I read the pages of the manufactures of the existing
ultra capacitors. As I recall, they were operating at a rather low
voltage, 2 volts, I'm wondering why so low voltage? As I recall, the
amount of energy that a capacitor can store is directly related to
the voltage.
Since our parent firm, Magnetic Power Inc.,
(www.magneticpowerinc.com) expects to license generators widely
beginning later this year, candidate firms for developing the UMES
are likely to emerge synergistically.
Are you talking about a F E generator? In the remainder of this
message the diesel motor was mentioned. Unfortunately the additional
cost of a diesel motor just about compensates for the fuel that it
saves. As for a Wankel, they are no more efficient than any other I C
E. IMHO, the only way that this technology will ever appeal to joe
sixpack, AKA the average guy, is when it saves more money than it
costs. Till then hybrids will appeal to the Volvo Democrats, which
isn't all bad, they've got money.
As with the energy work, the paucity of Angel investment since the
dot.com crash, has delayed what could have been in production by
now...had there been sufficient availability of the necessary
capital.

Hi Mark,
Please give us an update on your comments regarding UMES.
What is a UMES?
