On a related note, EESTOR's ultacapacitor seems to be (re)gaining credibility:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EEstor "In November, Ian Topfer, a former vice chair of Dell, left the board of EEStor with no explanation given, leading to some concern as to the future of the company.[5] Strangely, on January 9, 2008, the company publicly announced that Topfer was joining the board.[5] ... On January 9th, 2008, Lockheed-Martin signed an agreement with EEStor for the exclusive rights to integrate and market EESU units in military and homeland security applications.[7] This was widely seen as lending a great deal of credibility to the company and its technology; ZENN, who had been taking flak for their investment in EEStor, saw their stock increase by 28%[8]. Lockheed has not yet tested prototypes, but did tour EEStor's facilitity and analyzed their technology and methodology. Lockheed was "very impressed" with EEStor, noting "they are taking an approach that lends itself to a very quick ramp-up in production." The two companies look to complete joint product testing over the course of 2008.[9]" Of course if this bettery works, it might well kill compressed air technology in the egg! Is it just me, or are things/deals moving faster in alternative energy technologies since the Al Gore/IPCC Nobel prize?
