twa,
I offer you an example on how to document and validate statements, instead of just personal opinions and unsubstantiated and inaccurate rhetoric.
You wrote: "TP. Just words TP, just words! If you were around like I was when KRAFT made the rounds and promised Customers and Partnership.of all kinds, but nothing materialized, you would be suspicious of anything a P-Stock Co' says?"
I was around when Kraft was CEO and I watched the interviews where he stated that CHS would be commercialized. We found out that scaling CHS is costly, but doable, as Evonik successfully scaled 5 grams to 500 grams in Essen, Germany to provide samples for Einhoven U. in the Netherlands and CEA in Paris, France. I believe the expense of scaling CHS was a problem, so Matt Kappers took over and decided to go with the Endurion Project. Matt Kappers brought AmpliTech to the Nasdaq and has an excellent rack record of success with start ups. Read his Bio.
You wrote: "But maybe the BATTERY has gained some interest, but has it even been tested yet?"
If you bothered to read the transcript of the May 18th shareholder conference you would not be asking about testing: See below,
"We performed cycle tests on the modified material that's silicon material that has our engineered SEI layer against unmodified material which doesn't have any additives to the nanoparticle.
This set of tests were performed at the University of Michigan battery lab with both our personnel and the UofM battery lab folks. These tests gave us favorable and confirming results.
First of all the test proved that our engineered solid electrolyte interface layer the SEI layer improves the rate capability with respect to the unmodified silicon nanoparticles. This is significant and shows promise that our Endurion electrode materials are well-suited for fast charging.
Secondly we tested cycling stability of both modified and unmodified silicon material and our modified material outperformed the unmodified materials substantially. This test proved that our approach works. Our strategies have now gone beyond proof-of-concept experiments. We are now expanding the scope of our materials for an artificial SEI and fine-tuning the composition of our anode to deliver even better performance. Our unique solution to developing silicon anode materials coupled with having in-house testing and world-class characterization tools in our backyard gives us a clear pathway for success."
You wrote: "The CHS coupled with a Battery or Anodes seems promising if in the Commercial stage, but otherwise, meetings w other Co's mean nothing, as KRAFT proved! NDAs are promising yes, but it is very early to start talking about something that is still a couple of years away!"
It appears that CRTG is on schedule to provide "something" by the end of the year:
"Certainly. In terms of forecasting our R&D efforts through the rest of the year, I think it's important to think about what's going to be necessary from a research perspective to get to the point where we have material that's ready for commercialization.
We've identified technical milestones that are aggressive, but we think that with our in-house capabilities and the expertise that our senior scientist has developed, we can hit all these milestones without any difficulty. And in thinking about the milestones we hit, the approach that we've taken in developing this roadmap is similar to the approach that, say, ARPA-E, a branch of the Department of Energy takes in not only hitting technical objectives but trying to tie that with some type of milestone which is known as a SMART milestone, so something that's measurable or quantitative. Towards that end, as we continue to do our materials development over the next quarter or so with materials discovery and evaluating those materials in a half cell and then pushing that towards a full cell where we can start to see how our anode material is behaving in an actual battery, we're really pushing that to making pouch cells, because pouch cells are what's going to be necessary for meeting the demands of an EV. And by the end of the year, our plan is to have a one-amp hour cell, which is a modest sized pouch cell that we think will give us very clear indicators of how this material stands with regard to being put eventually in a battery pack in an EV. And all these steps are taken with that goal in mind."
Hope you get something out of this.
