RE:SamplesParksville wrote: It is 3.5 months since they suggested samples would be out to battery manufaturers and the car manufacturer. This is a long time and I have a lot of HPQ shares. I wonder things like have they sent them and are waiting on results, have they not sent them and if not why? Is it proving harder to make specific sizes than they thought? I have no clue as there has been no information forthcoming.
Based on Bernard's body language and confidence..feel very strongly things will turn out well. Many different hypothesis/possibilities like this one by ceo poster earlier :
@FuturePredictor I understand the narrative to be as follows... new reactor was brought online.... they were gunning to send out sample before year end or January... the reactors produced NPs much smaller than expected... they continue to tweak the process to meet customer specifications... Apollon is needed to do quality assurance on the samples to ensure the samples are “qualified” prior to shipping to client.... but I think the point of the “oops we turned on the reactor and it produces sub 100 nm NPs” was designed to send shock waves in the industry to basically say that new doors have been opened with respect to what is possible in the material science space.... maybe this is now throwing the clients for a loop to rethink what they actually need... but again the “art of war” is at play and OEMs are all obviously in fierce competition with one another.... the last thing they want is for others to know or even have a read on the specifics of what kind of Si-NPs are being considered... so my hypothesis is that the delay is on the client side and not HPQ/PYR/Apollon.
