RE:RE:RE:News on cathode used for NY projectDavidelZorro: Well we now know why the regen plate Gen 1 was expensive. Zinc8 looks to have been working at getting the amount of Platinum used in each battery stack, as low as posible. The Gen 2 regen plate was to be made of carbon, (very low cost) and now looks to be plated with Platinum. Getting the Platinum coating as thin as possible with good life expectancy probably was challenging. In the pod cast, Ron mentions Platinum for the first time and did not mention Carbon. This leaves investors in the air as to what the actual costs of the regen plate will be. It is also interesting that the life expectancy of the Zinc8 battery is now pushed out to 25 years, Amortization of the cost of the battery over 25 years compared to Lithium-ion with a life expectancy of 7 years puts the cost factor in the lowest cost battery for long term storage catagory easily in hand for Zinc8.
Interesting video from Ron MacDonald. If you have the specs for the battery as released in Australia this week and this pod cast put to gether then you have a good idea as to the possible success Zinc8 will have in the open market.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL INVESTORS.
The trolls at this time missed the news from Australia and are now flapping in the wind
