OMG.

Loved this part:

The silicon MOSFET AC switch requires 438 devices, and so is prohibitively expensive for this application. The SiC MOSFET AC switch requires far fewer, but the total AC switch cost for SiC MOFSET is still 65X higher as compared with the estimated cost of the 1.5 cm^2 B-TRAN. A DC inverter configuration may be used with the MOSFETs, which would require only 8X as many SiC MOSFETs, but that would still be about 16X more expensive, and the total dissipation would be several times higher due to the high voltage drop across the SiC Schottky diodes paired with the SiC MOSFETs, and about 8X higher when running power from AC to DC. Only the AC switch configuration can match the B-TRAN losses in an AC topology.



Game changer folks. Ground floor investment opportunity for a company that will certainly one day have a market cap of over $1bn.
