I have been using the alias of goUSA on the open forums to try and get a reaction and well I guess I have succeeded to some part. Before that I was also known as XYMOX. I am what you would call one of their biggest skeptics. I don’t believe the pipe dream and I’m not a fan of “Physics because I say so”

Now that I have you attention.

I was flattered that “B” would actually take the time to call little old me up and ask if there was something I wanted to get off my chest. At first I resisted, but I conceded to voice the opinion that I think its nifty that whenever there is a naysayer on the board, they are summarily banned from the “OPEN FORUM” The first time I was brought down was when I posted some personal address information on his site, fair enough, thats his rules and I’m not the owner, so see ya XYMOX.

This last time I was given the boot for only asking B to reveal his identity. Well what I was looking for was a reaction. You see I like reactions because they are fun, I don’t know, but that’s the way people are, we push buttons and things happen. So I got my phone call. At that point I then knew more than the rest something about this man,… what he sounded like.

And oddly enough I did happen to stumble upon an audio clip of one of my suspects Ian Clifford, CEO of Zenn Motorcars, well this sample was one of many but it is best online voice sample I have heard so far. that’s at
http://www.zenncars.com/media/audio/evcast.mp3
Why did I suspect Ian, Well given his Internet Marketing background and being the one person in this world who has the most to gain from this scam, my focus was narrowed on him.
Well it didn’t take me to long after I closed my eyes and remembered who I was talking to, the voice of the caller and the voice of Ian Clifford are one and the same. I have a very good memory for audio as I am a trained musician and have what you could call an audio-graphic memory that rivaled the most studious contemporaries back in college, but enough of my self-admiration.

I have my answer, and I can’t say I’m happy because I’m not, I really wanted the technology they are promoting to be real, but given the deception and the gravity of the slippery tongue that is Ian Clifford, I know that it’s not more than a dog and pony show.

The world is no better off.

If the EESU units are not going to be available in production quantities until “the end of 2009″, then I suggest there may be a pipe fill problem for Zenn. My industry experience says even with “Just-in Time” inventory management, Zenn will need EESU units at the latest by the end of Q3 2009. Remember that Zenn will have to fill the pipeline to consumers with vehicles before the formal introduction of the vehicle into the N. American marketplace.

If it is true that a supercap such as EESTOR claims they are making can be built, is it safe? It stores as much energy as would be produced by the combustion of several gallons of gasoline (otherwise it couldn’t power a car hundreds of miles). It does this by storing electric charge at very high voltage gradients. Suppose a breach occurs somewhere in the battery. An arc occurs and a high current results. That melts and ionizes the surrounding material, resulting in an even greater current. This process continues, causing a runaway effect. The entire energy content of the supercap is released in a very short time, causing an explosion. How do they avoid this scenario? Any ideas?

“the startup had successfully charged and discharged two megawatts of power to the grid in 30 minutes from one of their batteries in a partnership with AES.”

You don’t charge and discharge “megawatts”, you charge and discharge megawatt-hours, i.e., units of energy. He should have said they “charged and discharged two megawatt-hours in 30 minutes” In other words a certain amount of energy was charged and discharged in 30 minutes.

But EESTOR’s ’stealth’, their refusal to release data that might convince a physicist or an electrical engineer makes me wonder now if we’re dealing here with another cold-fusion bubble. If EESTOR doesn’t ante up with something more soon they are going to lose even the tiny bit of credibility they now have.

I’m rooting for EEStor to be successful.
