Yes lack of transparency.
1 - What stage of development is this battery at ? D'Couto insinuated by Tweets about Samsung's exploding phones that he had a current solution.
There is no information about the battery on the website except PRs.
A Current solution would be able to be produced today. This Is FALSE.
2- D'Couto shows up at the SBIR/STTR challenge to convince them to give him money, and he can't lie to them as to where his battery is at on the development stage. On their website they put it at Tech readiness Level 4, which is a DOD/NASA designation which is clearly defined. No slick wordplay here, that only comes from D'Couto and the vague excuse mongers on this board.
3- No FUNDING. If D'Couto had a compelling ready to deploy product would he really have that much trouble getting funding ? In this case actions speak louder than words.
4- Argonne/DOE does not show the project as active, if you run through Argonne's tweets, when they have something that is really news, they put it out. While they have put out plenty of battery news, nothing on NEAH or it's astounding battery.
5- Does D'Couto really even have a battery ? He has been claiming testing for over a year. First 10, then 100 to be built. Then Corporate shill SPIN comes on saying that what the DOE is doing is trying to build a battery to study and not that D'Couto has a battery that they can study. OOOPs !!
I could go on and on, your pitiful excuses and personal interpretations that don't jive at all with what is factually listed does not help NEAH.
A123 systems spent more than 100 million and failed, and you think a $300,000.00 voucher is going to finish NEAHs development work to produce a battery that beats all others on the market.
JMHO
