Well that's half the battle. The other half of the problem is delivering that amount of energy in 10 minutes, particularly in areas that are already maxing out their capacity on hot summer days.

HSE?
HSE is health and Safety. I'm not sure what the 'E' stands for :)
They're considering the possibility that CNTs pose specific health concerns (kind of like asbestos from what I understand), which would create quite a few regulatory changes in both production and usage.

#15Have you heard of Molecular Rebar? http://www.molecularrebar.com/ Their CNT patent portfolio is being licensed by a company called Black Diamond Structures, which is a joint venture with SABIC. They’re looking at battery applications.

#17> Our breakthrough in manufacturing cost enables battery manufacturers to use the optimal amount, allowing electric cars to safely recharge in 10 minutes or less. Well that's half the battle.

Thanks for the tip! I've heard that Molecular Rebar and Black Diamond Structures have a great process to untangle and purify CNTs. I believe their business model is to buy low cost CNTs from other producers and upgrade them with their process. Maybe there's an opportunity for collaboration.

Happy to make an intro. My email is in my profile.
