Oooops. Where I said "NASA test data" in my prior post, I meant "DOE test data".

Ray, I mean no harm to this forum. My latest information was from a shareholders meeting in 1998, where some of us were surprised that the product wasn't flying out the door. Although the product is very rugged and can withstand bullets fired through it at the time of the meeting a year and a half ago we were told that the efficiencies of the product that were being shipped were in the 5 to 6 % range. We were also told that the 5 megawatt machine was not in full production. This was a great shock to some of us loyal ECD followers.

I called the company today because I had to hear the latest update. What I heard is that production was up 40% from last year and that 8% efficiency was being maintained and that internal testing was showing 10% recently.

I have also requested to know if the new GMO II batteries are now in production or will be soon and whether the UOM is soon to be brought out. Also whether the Kettering Plant is up to capacity and finally what costs will be per pack.
