OT One of my other speculative plays is having a minor run today. Beacon Power corp(BCON). They make flywheels. Some folks where I work were impressed with the technology and a few years ago there was a "rumor" that GE was in pursuit. This is from the Yahoo profile:
Beacon Power Corporation, a development stage company, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the design, development, configuration, and sale of products and services to support electricity grid operation. The company?s sustainable energy storage and power conversion solutions provide electric power for the utility, renewable energy, and distributed generation markets in the United States. Its products include Smart Energy matrix and Smart Power M5 inverter system. The company?s Smart Energy matrix is a modular and flywheel-based energy storage system designed for use in grid frequency regulation and other distributed generation applications. The Smart Power M5 inverter system for the photovoltaic energy market converts direct current generated by solar cells from sunlight into alternating current required by residential and commercial users for operating electrical devices. The company also offers Smart Energy 25 system for energy storage solution and Smart Energy 6 system for remote terminal power backup for the telecommunications industry and various applications for cable television, wireless, and broadband companies. Beacon Power was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Wilmington, Massachusetts
