What if there is a vehicle energy storage device that is cheaper, more compact and charging faster than the battery?
EEStor's super capacitor promises all these things.
Unfortunately, startups don't talk much about themselves.
But, in honor of Earth Day, EEStor has just decided to issue a short press release announcing a huge achievement, which is a relative level of activity of 22,500 for barium
Titanium powder for super capacitor. For the non-
Technically, the dielectric constant of the capacitor helps determine how much charge the device can hold.
The baseline dielectric constant using vacuum is 1.
The number claimed by EEStor (
Supported by external scientists)
It is 1,000 times the industrial capacitor used today.
This is the news of EEStor.
Interestingly, however, Zenn Motor Company, a small electric vehicle maker, felt the need to release its own press release to cover the news, throwing out a vague promise to "review the results ".
Of course, EEStor has reached a high dielectric constant level a few years ago (
Not close to the current number though)
After reaching an agreement with Zenn.
Whether Zenn was allowed to carefully review anything EEStor did during this period was an open question.
Other investors, including the well-known venture capital firm Kleiner caucaufield & Byers, are almost certainly not allowed to gain insight into the science of EEStor.
Today, it's been two years since the listing of Esther's super capacitors.
It is normal for a healthy startup to delay for months to a year, but time lag suggests that there is still a lot to be done to assemble a super capacitor that can replace the car's battery (
According to Lockheed Martin's investment in the company, or the power military system)
It is not just the realization of high dielectric constants.
Nevertheless, there may be some deeper reasons behind the sudden release of EEStor than Earth Day ---
Can they really start production?
Hope is eternal.
