RE:RE:RE:New Press Release - GEN3 Silicon-Anode Lithium-Ion Batteries Outperform Graphite by 40% Without Degradation After 50 Cycles30-ish minute video posted as expected. Can only say so much new about this. As one sees, there is positive progress, work will continue on getting to the most optimized version at a time, but no surprise that as an R&D company, eventually hopefully manufacturing material, you cannot stop development because nobody that wants to remain competitive does.
The "top tier producer" discussion at the beginning almost had me just stop. But I perservered to stay ahead of the pumpers, remain informed and continue being fair. The partnership was talked about at the 26:30 mark. The future was not clearly described and not fully known right now; that is reasonable. What is known and in play now is the following. HPQ has an exclusive licence on this technology. HPQ has to close financing of about million euros to increase its equity stake ownership (don't know what this means), and it has already paid a million euros through shares issued at 21 cents (I believe this was to be a 20% partner).
I read an article on Ion Storage (a battery cell maker in the US which is partly owned by Toyota). Thanks to the algos, this stuff pops up for you, whether you want it or not. Not to mix a whole bunch of things that may be difficult to compare about their supposed breakthrough, the one thing that stood out for me, whether verified by authors I don't know, is the following: "....has tested its cell to 800 cylces - the benchmark required by consumer electronic makers." If this is indeed such a benchmark, a lotta cycling left to be done, and given the second graph, I imagine the continuation of it is something that would be of interest to the battery players.
The work continues.

BT will explain in the 30-ish minute Agoracom video. There will be "gotta ask" about timelines and incoming calls including any tidbits on FSR. You know the drill.
A couple of videos not-long-ago BT mentioned how news flow will slow down due to the vacation season in Europe. Maybe they are so excited about how things are going that they decided to pass on vacations. The only one called back may be Agoracom. But I am sure it is worth it considering no special preparation required.
Maybe this time they will cover the financial ramifications of the partnership between HPQ and Novacium.
