There is two take home messages. The first is that technical success appears
to be plausible and potentially spectacular.
The second message is that the development work is continuingly slow as
I long ago anticipated. Enthusiasm on
development schedules belong to stock brokers only. Otherwise your partner is Murphy even when it
is a slam dunk.
They may have shippable product in another two
years. Far more important is that the
production of a shippable product is becoming increasingly likely. They have viable working layers which is a
long hard advance from a bin of powder.
200X the competition is a loud shot across anyone’s
bow.
EEStor Provides
Additional Test Data Following June 5, 2013 Testing And Update On Current
Status
June 26, 2013
CEDAR PARK, Texas, June 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 5, 2013
EEStor, Inc. had Criteria Labs certify certain aspects of a current layer of
its electrical energy storage unit (EESU) that had been produced on April 29,
2013 using new materials that provided both high capacitance and high
resistance simultaneously. The capacitance and resistance of this new layer
material are expected to be increased using EEStor, Inc. proven proprietary
processing equipment and processes.
The following data from new layer material was certified by
Criteria Labs on June 5, 2013:
Average capacitance of the four layers = 0.22 micro farads
Average Resistance of the four layers = 10.7 mega ohms
Subsequently, on June 26, 2013 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 June 5, 2013
certification process.
The following data from new layer material was certified by
TesCom:
Average thickness of the four layers = 25.1 microns
The area of each of the four layers = 0.403 centimeters squared
The average volume of the four layers = 0.00101 centimeters
cubed
Using the certified capacitance, area, thickness, and volume the
following relative permittivity was calculated:
The average relative permittivity of the four layers = 15,476
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.
CURRENT DEVELOPMENT
EEStor has now successfully enhanced the new dielectric layer of
its EESU and initial internal results indicate the following:
-- Capacitance vs. voltage has been
increased
-- Layer resistance has been increased
-- Capacitance has been increased
-- Constituent tuning has been improved
which allows the potential for
continued success in product development
NEXT STEPS
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:
-- energy density
-- dissipation factor
-- resistance
-- capacitor area
-- total layer thickness
-- leakage current at multiple voltages
including voltages over 1000V
-- dielectric layer thickness
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This press release contains "forward-looking
statements," including statements related to expected increases in
capacitance and resistance of the new layer, permittivity representing a major
breakthrough, EEStor potentially exceeding its energy storage operating
targets, and potential for continued success in product development. These
statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the
risk of development or production delays, the risk that the technology or
devices may not perform as expected, component or raw materials delays or
shortages, the ability to effectively manage operating expenses and
manufacturing operations and the ability to maintain or raise sufficient
capital to fund current development and production goals. EEStor's actual
results may differ materially from the expected results in this release.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made. EEStor
does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking
statements to reflect events, circumstances or new information after this press
release, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
