Rise in silver prices after news the recent purchase of a large amount of silver by U.S. billionaire Warren Buffett may have been motivated in part by the potential demand for silver in new silver-zinc battery
technology.

Although I do not see how a Silver-Zinc Fuel cell will work. Silver
is not a catalyst. Although if it does work it will be cheaper than
a the Ballard Platinum PEM FC.

But its seems the silver bulls are just making things up to boost
the price of silver. First Silver Zinc Fuel cells then Silver Zinc
batteries. I think the use of Silver Zinc batteries are only by specific purposes and will be too expensive for common use. The Mars
rover didn't last too long.

""
''Silver-zinc battery technology does exist and about 40 pct of the batteries by weight are silver,'' said Paul
Bateman, director of the Washington DC-based Silver Institute.

''The batteries produce a higher energy but have a shorter life than other technology and so far have mostly been used in defence and space applications,'' he said."""

NFG nufh said too expensive too short a life span for common use batteries.

>>>When I see fuel cells I think of BLDPF, and if, thats if, Buffett was getting involved, that would be newsworthy, yes? So, calm down.<<<
