Apple is believed to be developing its own custom power management chips for iPhone and iPads, at least according to one industry analyst (via Reuters). The report from Bankhaus Lampe said that Apple is looking to replace a PMIC component currently supplied by Dialog with its own custom silicon as soon as 2019.
The analyst notes that Apple has been aggressively hiring engineers from the third-party supplier and already has a significant team of employees working on Apple-designed power management chips. This follows the news that Apple intends to make custom GPUs for its iOS devices within two years.
Computer chips for the next iPhone will be made at the Samsung Electronics plant in South Korea and the GlobalFoundries factory in Malta, New York.
According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple Inc. picked Samsung and business partner GlobalFoundries over the world's largest chip manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp.
Power management chips manage voltage and charging across the components in the device. With battery longevity a primary complaint about iPhones in particular, it would make sense for Apple to invest more in that area and replace parts with custom, integrated, designs.
Via Reuters:
“In our view, there is strong evidence that Apple is developing its own PMIC and intends to replace the chip made by Dialog at least in part,” Bankhaus Lampe analyst Karsten Iltgen advised investors.
A source familiar with the matter confirmed that Apple was recruiting top Dialog engineers in Munich. “They are poaching like crazy,” the person said.
Apple has long said it wants to make the core technologies that go into a product to gain a competitive edge; power and battery management certainly fits the bill, if not as glamorous. Apple started its custom silicon efforts with the CPU chips, designing its own silicon for the A6, A7, A8, A9 and A10 series.
Neah Power suffers the same sorts of problems every other young technical company suffers from. They have a lack of money and a lack of visibility. I liked the story enough that I went out on the open market and bought shares. The company needs to raise money and should any readers be interested, I suggest you contact the President Chris D'Couto directly for more information.
I hate the share structure; they have 1.9 billion shares outstanding and as of right now, the shares are quoted at $0.0009 apiece. I had a real problem figuring out just how many shares I got and I was afraid when I placed an order in getting the decimal point in the wrong place and owning the company shortly thereafter. But as of right now the company has a market cap of about $1.7 million. Various projections guess the total demand for battery storage in the world between $60 billion and $120 billion per year.
The process that Neah Power has invented to create the battery innards on a chip-making machine is highly scalable, unlike current technology. The company is in discussion with various large computer companies and automobile manufacturers but naturally whom they are talking to is not public information
In January of this(which would have been last year) year, social media spread viral stories about a CES demonstration of an iPhone that could hold its power for a week, and shared images of a hydrogen-fueled drone that could fly six times longer than a battery-operated version. Both stories hinted that there might be a fuel-based revolution ahead in portable energy for our smartphones and laptops.
At the center of the excitement is a magical energy technology: the micro fuel cell. In basic terms, a fuel cell converts chemical energy into electricity. When devices need more power, we simply add more fuel. No wait time for recharging. No cords. Just add clean fuel that you can find on any retail shelf across the world

GF is the world’s first full-service semiconductor foundry with a truly global footprint. Launched in March 2009, the company has quickly achieved scale as one of the largest foundries in the world, providing a unique combination of advanced technology and manufacturing to more than 250 customers. With operations in Singapore, Germany and the United States, GF is the only foundry that offers the flexibility and security of manufacturing centers spanning three continents. The company’s 300mm fabs and 200mm fabs provide the full range of process technologies from mainstream to the leading edge. This global manufacturing footprint is supported by major facilities for research, development and design enablement located near hubs of semiconductor activity in the United States, Europe and Asia. GF is owned by Mubadala Development Company. For more information, visit http://www.globalfoundries.com.
Some 3,000 scientists and engineers at the GE Global Research center in Niskayuna are developing a new wave of technology that will lead to new products in health care, energy and aviation.
Research at the site led to the development of General Electric’s new fuel cell business last year. That operation is now headquartered about 30 minutes away in the town of Malta in Saratoga County.
GE is one of four major players when it comes to innovation and research in the region. SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany houses some 3,500 scientists and engineers who are focused on driving down the cost of solar energy products and creating smaller and more powerful computer chips.
Another hub is Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy where students, faculty and support staff are conducting research in biotechnology, manufacturing and data analytics.
And the newest player in the region is GlobalFoundries. The computer chip maker in Malta is owned by an investment arm of the Abu Dhabi government and designs and manufactures chips for companies around the world. GlobalFoundries has hired more than 3,000 people in the region since construction of its $10 billion complex began in 2009.
GE Signs $15 Billion in Business Deals With Saudi Arabia
Reuters
May 20, 2017
U.S. technology and engineering conglomerate GE said on Saturday it had signed $15 billion of business deals with Saudi Arabia as part of the kingdom's drive to diversify its economy beyond oil.
It came as dozens of senior U.S. business executives met Saudi counterparts at a conference coinciding with the visit of President Donald Trump to Riyadh.
The agreements, which involve almost $7 billion of goods and services from GE itself, ran ge from the power and healthcare sectors to the oil and gas industry and mining, GE said. Some of the deals are memorandums of understanding which would require further agreements to materialize.
Exactly where is it..? You would think the DOE would have checked or validated the existence of the patent...
I would guess if you search for the patent you would find the Neah Power System out side of the range in the search field just like the shared patent with Clean Tech ....
Neah Power Systems has patented a three-dimensional porous silicon based lithium-metal battery that has demonstrated 1,500 watts per liter of volume and 500 watts per kilogram. This battery uses older generation computer chip manufacturing technology that is widely available throughout the world, enabling a low cost, which the company targets at $150 per kilowatt hour in high volume production. Such a low price point would make the battery applicable across industries, from small devices such as cell phones to larger applications for stationary power, automotive and grid-scale back up. Such a foundry model allows a low capital-cost ramp up into high volume production, with very high quality control. Through the SBV Pilot, the company will utilize Argonne National Laboratory staff and expertise to determine the optimal metallization scheme for porous silicon as well as reliable and reproducible processes and insights into possible causes of degradation, capacity fade and dendrite growth.
The strategy of utilizing FA as an energy
carrier to selectively release hydrogen
for electricity generation by fuel cells
looks promising. Moreover, many mobile
applications as well as the foundation
of stationary power plants can also
be envisioned
NEAH battery uses only standard battery components that are found in existing batteries used today -- just used differently. NEAH has 15 patents and 11 pending patent applications for, among others, the use of silicon substrates for fuel cells and batteries. In NEAH's PowerChip Battery, the company is building a rechargeable lithium battery in a 3-D architecture, using industry standard materials
Neah Power Systems Awarded Two Patents for Powerchip Fuel Cell
Continues to strengthen PowerChip® Patent Portfolio
02 Feb, 2016, 07:30 ET from Neah Power Systems, Inc.
Neah Power Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: NPWZ, NEAH POWER) an emerging leader in fuel cell-based power solutions and rechargeable lithium battery storage solutions for defense, commercial, and consumer applications, proudly announced that the Company had been recently granted two additional patents, US 9,184,463 (Ohlsen et al) and US 9,112,215 (Cross et al) by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). These patents, along with the rest of the Company Patent portfolio, is critical to the overall success of the Company, and in particular to the recently signed memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a large South Africa based entity and the licensing agreement with the Government of India.
The patents apply to the one - of -its kind, non-air, methanol PowerChip® Fuel cell, versions of which have been shipped to the DRDO, Government of India most recently, and other customers in the past. These patents are related to the insitu regeneration of the oxidant used in the fuel cell. This insitu regeneration increases the energy density of the system, enabling a smaller, more compact, and lighter, fuel cell.
Just as a reminder, Apple's research teams have also been exploring fuel cells and in fact updated their original patent for it back in April. While the fuel cells aren't flexible, it at least goes to show us that Apple is working on an alternative energy source for future devices.

FREMONT, Calif.—Many companies are working to improve batteries, hoping to address user complaints that mobile devices run out of power too quickly. Enovix Corp. has been quietly working on the problem for nine years, in an unusual way.
Where others have focused on boosting energy storage capacity by changing battery chemistry, the Silicon Valley startup is betting on a shift in manufacturing technology that borrows techniques from makers of computer chips and solar cells. Enovix predicts that its approach can at least double the capacity of batteries used in wearable devices and other mobile applications.
The company, originally called MicroAzure, hasn’t said much about its plans. But it is likely to attract attention because of its backers, which include chip makers Cypress Semiconductor Corp., Intel Corp. and Qualcomm Inc. They and other investors have pumped more than $100 million into the company, which expects to begin commercial manufacturing in the second half of 2017.

Motorola leads charge for portable fuel cells
In late 2004, Motorola joined in a federally supported program with Carbon Nanotechnologies Inc.(CNI) and Johnson Matthey Fuel Cells Inc. to develop electrodes for micro fuel cells. The goal of the three-year, $7.4 million project is to provide free-standing carbon nanotube electrodes for proton exchange membranes in direct methanol fuel cells. The fuel cells would power Motorola’s mobile phones and other portable devices.
A year later Motorola Ventures invested in Tekion Inc., a nanotech energy company that offers a micro fuel cell-battery hybrid. Tekion’s technology relies on fuel cartridges that contain a purified form of formic acid that it calls Formira.
“We’re hedging our bets,” said Jerry Hallmark, a fellow in Motorola Labs’ energy technologies program. While Motorola is unlikely to manufacture miniaturized fuel cells, it wants to ensure that it is among the first to capitalize on technologies that free mobile phones and other devices from the power grid. “There is no one fuel cell that will be right for everything. It’s too early to pick a winner.

Motorola Links again
Companies face two immediate hurdles: money and time. Without millions of dollars and several years to create sample batteries and test new products, businesses can flounder, unable to showcase products to investors or customers.
The missing link could be Polaris Battery Labs, Morris' new Beaverton-based manufacturing and testing lab that might even the playing field for U.S. battery companies.
The battery industry is "completely dominated by Asian companies, yet all of the inventions come out of the U.S.," said Morris, 57, who has acted as a consultant for battery startups since 2003.
Morris previously spent 21 years with Motorola. He recently served as vice president of operations at battery company Enevate.
Morris said his for-hire lab is rare in the U.S., and demand is strong. Nearly 40 potential customers, mostly American, have expressed interest in working with Polaris once its lab opens in July, Morris said.
An anonymous investor based in Asia, who Morris said "owns the No. 5 battery-tech company in the world," paid $850,000 of Polaris' startup costs. Polaris also won a $50,000 grant from electric-vehicle industry group Drive Oregon, and the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute awarded $50,000 to Polaris, Portland State University and Oregon Institute of Technology.

I can understand a bogus teaming agreement...but why would S4W place this information on a sell/order sheet for a product as serious as their drone?
Continuous Flight
• UAS management solution for continuous uninterrupted flight missions
• UAS of various energy sources to extend flight times
• Integrated Neah Power battery for extended, multiple Hour flight times.
Still on the website. This is not some backyard toy drone. S4W is trying to attract high end clients, police, military, contractors etc. Why would they advertise falsely for Neah's sake, nothing to gain when you are already partnered with VOXX.
Think they are going to post fraudulent information like this:
"Integrated Neah Power battery for extended, multiple Hour flight times."
Really? So xyz police department calls S4W to place an order based on the above claims...what do they tell their potential client? Oh, we posted that information so our buddy Chris D'Couto could sell shares of his slimy, defunct fuel cell/battery company.
Right...
Not sure why the delay, but still waiting.

No , i am actually a shareholder and because of that and the fact that I care about even my "high risk" money i do not want them to fail.
That is actually NEWS posted by a different company not NEAH. Since the links were just fixed recently it would enforce that the news is most likely true.
After all , why fix the link so that it can be read if it was old and not valid news. Too bad S4W does not agree with you.
The fact that you do not want it to be true is a personal problem.

Strange logic there.
Do not know what NEAHs status is since D'Couto has gone incomunicado.
However I will inject a quote from the S4W CEO.
"Paul Sault, CEO of S4W noted, “Our engineering staff and consultants immediately recognized the transformative nature of NEAH Power’s Formira HOD™ and PowerChip® solutions, specifically, when incorporated in a highly disruptive product like our Smart Body Cam where continuous power is necessary for delivery of the ever-important personnel and public safety benefits they provide. ?
So he states the intent to use NEAH in the bodycam, so why do you decide it will not be used in the camera ?
S4W recently fixed their news links regarding NEAH and VOXX, I see this as a re-iteration of their partnership with both.

“instantly rechargeable”
Enabling automotive and grid scale fuel cells
http://neahpower.com/whitepapers/
Formic Acid Reformer
Fuel cells are considered one of the cleanest methods of converting fuel into electricity, with minimal to no global warming byproducts. Their potential to generate ultra clean electricity is driving increased adoption of automotive and grid scale fuel cells. Cars with fuel cells will enable the vision of true zero- emission vehicles, since all–electric vehicles merely move the source of greenhouse gas emissions to the point of electricity generation. Similarly grid scale fuel cells provide near zero greenhouse gas emission for electricity generation. One additional, key advantage of fuel cells are their “instantly rechargeable” nature, as opposed to traditional batteries. One of the main limiters with the adoption of automotive fuel cells and grid scale fuel cells is the use of hydrogen as a fuel. Compressed hydrogen as a fuel source, when used in automobiles, has associated safety issues, and there is only limited, and cost-prohibitive to expand, infrastructure in place to for the purchase and distribution of compressed hydrogen on a consumer basis. Similarly, grid scale storage typical fuel cell installations require an onsite hydrogen generation plant or a natural gas pipeline, both of which can add significant cost.
System design guidelines and initial product deployment
Neah is in preliminary discussions with other fuel cell companies to license the reformer technology for
certain grid scale applications. Neah is also actively exploring partnerships with automobile
manufacturers to implement this technology for point source of hydrogen generation for automotive
fuel cells. In parallel, Neah is developing stand-alone systems for back-up power for a variety of
applications as well as integrated solutions for a variety of remote monitoring systems.

Cars with fuel cells will enable the vision of true zero- emission vehicles, since all–electric vehicles merely move the source of greenhouse gas emissions to the point of electricity generation. Similarly grid scale fuel cells provide near zero greenhouse gas emission for electricity generation. One additional, key advantage of fuel cells are their “instantly rechargeable” nature, as opposed to traditional batteries. One of the main limiters with the adoption of automotive fuel cells and grid scale fuel cells is the use of hydrogen as a fuel. Compressed hydrogen as a fuel source, when used in automobiles, has associated safety issues, and there is only limited, and cost-prohibitive to expand, infrastructure in place to for the purchase and distribution of compressed hydrogen on a consumer basis. Similarly, grid scale storage typical fuel cell installations require an onsite hydrogen generation plant or a natural gas pipeline, both of which can add significant cost.
System design guidelines and initial product deployment
Neah is in preliminary discussions with other fuel cell companies to license the reformer technology for
certain grid scale applications. Neah is also actively exploring partnerships with automobile
manufacturers to implement this technology for point source of hydrogen generation for automotive
fuel cells. In parallel, Neah is developing stand-alone systems for back-up power for a variety of
applications as well as integrated solutions for a variety of remote monitoring systems.
computer chips to renewable energy, at least Sildo in the the right place...and The Doc said he was in China
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A top United Arab Emirates official ordered the merger of two prominent government wealth funds on Wednesday, streamlining the country’s investment strategy as it weathers a slump in oil prices.
The decision by Abu Dhabi’s crown prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, will combine Mubadala Development Company and the International Petroleum Investment Company into a new entity that will hold roughly $135 billion in assets across businesses ranging from computer chips to renewable energy.
Both companies are owned by Abu Dhabi, the oil-rich capital of the seven-state Emirates federation, which includes the Gulf commercial hub of Dubai.
State news agency WAM said the tie-up would “create greater benefits and enhanced economic value” for the Abu Dhabi government.
The drop in oil prices over the past two years has led to a widening deficit and a slowdown in the UAE economy, and has prompted the government to cut back on generous energy subsidies. Abu Dhabi controls the bulk of the OPEC member’s 98 billion barrels of oil reserves, the world’s seventh largest.
Mubadala’s holdings include semiconductor maker Globalfoundries and renewable energy company Masdar, as well as stakes in Fairfield, Connecticut-based General Electric Co. and Washington-based private equity firm The Carlyle Group.

If Neah has something in the works with Globalfoundries other than a Motorola 10 year reunion. Neah would not need Argonne Research Center...
They would have their own....( see below article on GF 8 billion dollar New York lab)
Which would explain the the sale of their old equipment, the lack of an office and the lack of employees.. ( that are consultants.see Neah employees on LinkedIn)
And would explain the lack of any Argonne update....

GLOBALFOUNDRIES To Build R&D Facility in New York to Accelerate Advanced Manufacturing Technologies for Global Customers
Jan 08, 2013
Near-$2 billion dollar Technology Development Center (TDC) to strengthen global R&D ecosystem from mask to silicon to packaging
Milpitas, Calif., January 8, 2013 — GLOBALFOUNDRIES today announced plans to build a multi-billion dollar R&D facility at its Fab 8 campus in Saratoga County, N.Y. The new Technology Development Center (TDC) is expected to play a key role in the company's strategy to develop innovative semiconductor solutions allowing customers to compete at the leading edge of technology.
The TDC will feature more than a half million square feet of flexible space to support a range of technology development and manufacturing activities, including cleanroom and laboratory space. Representing an investment of nearly $2 billion, the facility will increase the total capital investment for the Fab 8 campus to more than $8 billion. Construction of the TDC is planned to begin in early 2013 with completion targeted for late 2014. Since breaking ground on Fab 8 in 2009, GF has created approximately 2,000 new direct jobs and that number is expected to grow by another 1,000 employees for a total of about 3,000 new jobs by the end of 2014.
The TDC will house a variety of semiconductor development and manufacturing spaces to support the transition to new technology nodes, as well as the development of innovative capabilities to deliver value to customers beyond the traditional approach of shrinking transistors. The overarching goal of the TDC is to provide a collaborative space for GF to develop end-to-end solutions covering the full spectrum of silicon technology, from new interconnect and packaging technologies that enable three-dimensional (3D) stacking of chips to leading-edge photomasks for Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography and everything in between.
"As the industry shifts from the PC era to a market focused on mobile devices, we have seen increasingly strong interest from customers in migrating to advanced nodes on an accelerated schedule," said GF CEO Ajit Manocha. "To help facilitate this migration, we are making significant investments in strengthening our technology leadership, including growing our workforce and adding new capabilities to make Fab 8 the hub of our global technology operations. New York State's continued support of the semiconductor industry has created a strong collaborative ecosystem and helped pave the way for this additional investment. The new TDC will help us bridge between the lab and the fab by taking research conducted with partners and further developing the technologies to make them ready for volume manufacturing."
"This significant expansion demonstrates that the investments we have made in nanotechnology research across New York State are producing the intended return–the creation of high-paying jobs and generation of economic growth that is essential to rebuilding our state," said Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. "New York has become the world's hub for advanced semiconductor research and now, the Technology Development Center will further help ensure the innovations developed in New York, in collaboration with our research institutions, are manufactured in New York."

Neah’s solution
Neah Power Systems, through its recent asset acquisition from Clean Tech Investors (Nov 2013), has demonstrated a reformer that allows onsite (point of use) generation of hydrogen using formic acid (HCOOH). This technology is covered by two pending patent applications. Many portable energy sources have distinct differences in energy density, safety, cost and availability as shown in the table below. Formic acid, which is a liquid, is an attractive energy option without the associated safety and handling challenges of compressed hydrogen.
Neah’s technology enables the use of a liquid, safe fuel (formic acid) for grid scale and automotive applications without the associated costs of a dedicated hydrogen generation plant or the safety and handling issues associated with the use of compressed hydrogen, especially for automotive applications. Furthermore, formic acid could leverage the existing gasoline distribution infrastructure for enabling zero emission transportation.

"These new investments will allow us to expand our existing [factories] while growing our presence in China through a partnership in Chengdu," Jha said.
The announcement comes one day after Intel Corp. CEO Brian Krzanich met with President Donald Trump in the White House to outline plans to build a $7 billion chip manufacturing plant in Chandler, Arizona. The Trump administration described Intel's project as the most advanced computer chip plant in the world.
GlobalFoundries was formed as a manufacturing spinoff of Advanced Micro Devices in 2009. The company is owned by an investment arm of the Abu Dhabi government. GlobalFoundries has created 3,048 jobs in Malta, New York, since it began building a $15 billion manufacturing complex in the Saratoga County town.
Jha said GlobalFoundries plans a 20 percent increase in production capacity of its 14-nanometer FinFET chips, which use three-dimensional transistors. Those investments will be completed by early next year.
GlobalFoundries also has reached an agreement with the Chengdu government to build a chip plant that is expected to begin production in 2019. The agreement comes four months after GlobalFoundries ceased negotiations to build a factory with the Chongqing government in southwest China.
The chip maker also plans to increase manufacturing capacity at plants in Dresden, Germany, and Singapore.
The manufacturing upgrades follow news in September that GlobalFoundries is spending billions of dollars to develop the next generation of computer chips at its factory in Malta.

Between now and 2021, battery production all over the world will more than double, Bloomberg reports. With more companies getting into the game, expansion and competition are up, and prices are down. This will mean more opportunities for energy companies and electric car manufacturers, and better deals for consumers looking to purchase clean powered technology for less money.
Gigafactory One in Nevada is Tesla’s battery producer at the moment. Daimler, the parent company of Chrysler, Maybach, and Mercedes, will be buying batteries from Accumotive’s brand new plant in Kamenz, Germany, which just broke ground this week. The installation of large-scale battery factories, which will supply Renault, Volkswagen, and others, are also planned in Hungary, Poland, and Sweden.
Asia’s battery manufacturing industry will also be booming. BYD, LG, Samsung, and Tesla’s partner, Panasonic, are all major global battery producers. Right now, at least nine major new factories are being built in China.

This eliminates the need for a bulky and heavy battery within the fuel cell system, which can significantly reduce the size, weight and cost of the fuel cell system,” reads one of the filings. “This fuel cell system includes a fuel cell stack which converts fuel into electrical power. It also includes a controller which controls operation of the fuel cell system.”

GlobalFoundries has hired 3,000 people and invested more than $12 billion to construct its manufacturing complex in Saratoga County since 2009. The company announced in November that it was purchasing approximately 70-acres from the Luther Forest Technology Campus, the nonprofit organization that manages the 1,400-acre park where GlobalFoundries is located.
Tech park consultant Mike Relyea said GlobalFoundries is expected to close on the purchase of an additional 11 acres next month.
GlobalFoundries confirmed in November that it has also secured an option to acquire 135 acres that would give the company enough space to construct a second manufacturing plant in the future. There has been speculation that GlobalFoundries will build a second plant for several years, but the company has not committed to move forward with that investment.
The manufacturer, which is owned by an investment arm of the Abu Dhabi government, operates manufacturing plants in New York, Vermont, Germany and Singapore.
Thomas Caulfield, general manager of the Malta factory, said in November that a decision about building a second factory is three to four years away.
"It's only about potential. There's no timeline at this point," Caulfield said last fall.
Welcome to the Luther Forest Technology Campus. Centrally located in New York’s Tech Valley, the Luther Forest Tech Campus is designed and pre-approved global nanotech leaders. Companies that locate here benefit from a world-class technology infrastructure in a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.
1,414 acres of greenfield space

Neah Power Systems, Inc. (NPWZ) Micro Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Tech Are Disruptive Technologies with Impact Spanning Multiple Markets
Neah Power System’s highly scalable, patented PowerChip® fuel cell technology acts as an instantly rechargeable battery that, once a given supply is depleted, can simply have its fuel cartridge swapped out to fully recharge the system. This core technology, in addition to the company’s formic acid reformer fuel cell system, Formira HOD™ (Hydrogen-on-Demand) and its BuzzBar Suite, designed to be the total, compact, off-grid charging solution for small electronics, has garnered NPWZ more and more attention from investors of late, due to the wide variety of applications such a portfolio covers. We are talking everything from UAVs for both the defense and commercial markets, as well as energy supply roles, to military, transportation, and portable electronics markets.
The hot-swappable fuel supply characteristic of NPWZ’s PowerChip solution is a key advantage to the system that not only resolves the recharge time duration, but offers extended range to the platform where it is applied, reduces swap out time and overall cost, as well as delivers sustained voltage levels over the entire duration of the fuel supply, unlike virtually all batteries, which are prone to voltage drops as the power discharges. Such capabilities are essential in military applications like field-deployed computer systems and modern battlefield hardware. The NPWZ technology also offers the potential to deliver around two to three times as much energy capacity as the military’s standard issue BA-5590 high capacity battery systems, which are used for the vast majority of portable power needs, but are also big, bulky, and require multiple units to be carried on extended missions, adding to already pressing logistical burdens.
Built using established computer chip manufacturing methods, this extremely robust and compact energy supply solution offers significant other advantages over batteries of the same weight and size, particularly in extended use scenarios. And, because the design can be configured for fully-sealed applications using a liquid oxidant/methanol fuel combination, the system is also perfect for subsea and space applications, where long-term use is part and parcel. The PowerChip is made in America at Neah Power’s Bothell, Washington facility, using established techniques that have been in continuous use throughout the semiconductor industry for over three decades, a fact which offers certain key cost-effectiveness and capital efficiency advantages that make the product extremely attractive, no matter what industry we are talking about. The company’s ongoing work with leading small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) developer, Silent Falcon™ UAS Technologies, to incorporate its fuel cell technology into their fixed wing drone platform is currently proceeding apace, and this integration, when completed, will form the basis for similar applications in other UAS/UAV platforms.
Because energy accounts for some $4 billion plus of the DOD budget every year (2013), and Army takes up around $1.3 billion of the pie, while managing some 1 billion or more square feet of building space, power outages on U.S. bases (87 in 2012 alone, costing around $7 million) have become a major keynote for the DOD’s ongoing transition to alternative energy. Fuel cell technology in particular has seen a growing amount of interest amid this push and the DOD’s target for 25 percent of all energy coming from renewable sources by 2025 cannot likely be seriously achieved alongside the need for increased robustness and electrical grid independence, without a sustained move towards localized fuel cell based systems.
This overarching trend is very bullish for fuel cell tech in general when it comes to military dollars, creating a fuel cell ecosystem vector that will no doubt continue to present technologies like NPWZ’s Formira HOD™ (Hydrogen-on-Demand) system with numerous advantages that will bleed over into the broader, planet-wide security, defense, and energy supply markets. The global drive towards renewables is extremely advantageous for a piece of technology like Formira, and Neah Power Systems announced earlier in September that their revolutionary HOD technology has been put up for $3.5 million in EU grant funding, with the ultimate goal of delivering scaled-up implementations of Formira for applications such as dedicated, on-site, premium-power generation at critical load facilities and the like. Such technology is seen as vital by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, a unique public private partnership tasked with advancing fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies in Europe, which was recently reaffirmed as part of the Hydrogen Joint Technology Initiative, under the EU Horizon 2020 Framework.
Neah Power Systems is expected to publicly drop some new product videos and spec documents any day now, and the company is already in the preliminary stages of designing larger 1,000W and smaller 10W units for critical off-grid applications. Moreover, the company is well on its way towards the October 2015 target for demonstrating Formira HOD to the Australian Army, as part of the company’s teaming agreement with Tectonica Australia. Another teaming agreement, between NPWZ and Clear Path Technologies, has the company lined up for serious commercial momentum in various regions, and Neah Power has already executed several multi-million dollar proposals as part of the agreement in order to capture demand from potential customers. The company is also in ongoing talks with several entities in China to license and manufacture the technology.
Remote power in emerging markets is one of the key trends for the growing fuel cell technology industry, especially in countries handicapped by antiquated grid architectures such as India, where persistent rolling blackouts have continued to hamper progress, even since the now famous 2012 blackouts, which left over 700 million connected people (mostly in northern and eastern India) without power for days. Despite the seriousness and now inescapability of the national grid infrastructure problem in India, the best efforts by the government have thus far failed to really offset the rapidly growing public’s concerns about the future of the grid, and this is especially true in remote rural regions, many of whom are not yet even powered. It is difficult for remote villages to modernize or have any hope of a future without access to power and the Indian government has really started taking this problem seriously in recent years.
The ability of scalable fuel cell technology to serve as a drop-in solution for remote rural populations is the same feature that makes it ideal for forward bases in military applications, or for off-grid power at corporate installations. NPWZ’s ongoing talks with India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation, to finalize a licensing agreement for its PowerChip fuel cell technology, dovetails exceptionally well with PM Narendra Modi’s Make in India program that was launched last year around this time. Third-party validation of the technology from such a high profile global entity is a major coup for NPWZ and the same disruptive PowerChip fuel cell architecture that could soon be bringing power to India’s remotest villages, is also being advanced by NPWZ in the form of a ground breaking porous silicon-chip based battery application, the PowerChip® Battery.
Mobile energy uses for computing are a growth market for micro fuel cell applications like NPWZ’s PowerChip technology, whose development is the result of over $50 million in strategic investment capital from major sector players like chip manufacturing giant Intel’s (NASDAQ: INTC) venture capital arm, Intel Capital, and semiconductor innovators like Novellus, which was acquired by Lam Research (NASDAQ: LRCX) in 2012. The combination of advanced fuel cell technology and cutting-edge battery storage technology could forever change the way we think about power consumption rates in portable electronics and it would be wise for investors to keep an eye on micro fuel cell technology as the centrally disruptive factor in this arena.
The recent announcement of a pivotal teaming agreement with remote, real-time situational awareness technology developer, S4W Worldwide Technologies, to integrate NPWZ’s power generation and porous silicon battery technologies into S4W’s wearable cameras that are designed primarily for police and security markets, is just the latest feather in Neah Power Systems’ cap. This agreement calls for NPWZ to deliver commercial Formira HOD units, in addition to PowerChip fuel cell and PowerChip Battery engineering units to S4W, while also providing the requisite engineering and technical support needed to ensure that these technologies are integrated optimally into S4W’s own industry-leading products. This team-up could provide exactly what the booming wearable camera market has been yearning for, particularly among LEOs and operators in the security market: a reliable, high-performance, long-lasting power supply that will keep a unit running through an entire duty shift.

Globalfoundries sure would have the equipment to make the neah batteries given its change over to new chips and new equipment....
GlobalFoundries (stylized as GLOBALFOUNDRIES) is a semiconductor foundry headquartered in Santa Clara, California, United States.[3] GlobalFoundries was created by the divestiture of the manufacturing arm of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) on March 2, 2009, expanded through the acquisition of Chartered Semiconductor on January 23, 2010, and further expanded through the acquisition of IBM Microelectronics on July 1, 2015. The Emirate of Abu Dhabi is the owner of the company through its subsidiary Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC). On March 4, 2012, AMD announced they divested their final 14% stake in the company, which concluded AMD's multi-year plan to divest its manufacturing arm.[4]
The firm manufactures integrated circuits in high volume mostly for semiconductor companies such as AMD, Broadcom, Qualcomm, and STMicroelectronics. It has five 200 mm wafer fabrication plants in Singapore, one 300 mm fabrication plant in each of Germany and Singapore, and three fabrication plants in the United States: one 200 mm fabrication plant in Vermont (where it is the state's largest private employer) and two 300 mm fabrication plants in New York.[5]

Its too bad that NEAH will not corroborate these stories, but then maybe there are some fiduciary failures at NEAH as pertains to the common shareholders as has been implied by others.
Its very laughable about the manipulation here.

The acquisition of Tekion’s assets in November, 2013 brought to Neah Power several of the above
mentioned patents and the capability to build upon its silicon and formic acid technologies. It is upon
these new and innovative technologies that the promise of long-term growth has been based. It stands to
reason that the value of the assets from the Tekion acquisition reinforces the overall valuation of the
company.
The company has never come out and said this..but its in the report..
