Long description

For 200 years the basic theory of obtaining electricity from the energy potential which exists between different materials has been the foundation upon which the advances have been made in technology. It is only because of this simple electrochemical fact that we have an amazing spectrum of products and facilities available to us today. Vehicles, mobile phones, camcorders, watches, laptop computers, cordless tools - the list of consumer applications is endless. Military capability and scientific developments depend upon batteries and space exploration, manned or unmanned would be impossible without them. Over this time, enormous resources of time, research and money have gone into finding the most efficient and viable materials which can give the greater power needed to open the gates for the vast range of products and developments waiting in the wings.

Many different combinations of materials and construction have been investigated and the advances which have been made in the last 30 years have been remarkable, but there is still a demand for even higher power ratings. Some of the combinations have proved effective but have proved subsequently to be dangerous to our environment and have been banned on ecological and environmental grounds.

In 1989, Ab Europositron was founded to pursue a radical new theory which had been propounded by Mr Rainer Partanen concerning one of the materials which had been investigated before but had always run into the same difficulties, namely the apparently insurmountable problem recharging a sealed cell battery using aluminium. Rainer Partanen has progressed the theory to the point of detailed specifications of cell construction, the electrochemistry involved and has registered patents covering all the necessary areas.

The fundamental basis of the Partanen technology can be applied to all formats of batteries, from tiny button batteries to high capacity stand-by power supplies. Using one of the most abundant metals available and incorporating existing manufacturing processes, this is an avenue which demands and deserves investigation to fruition.

Amtech Systems Announces $3.9 Million Solar Order

JohnT — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:51:38 +0000

Short description

Follow-on order from existing solar customer.

Article body

TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amtech Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASYS), a global supplier of production and automation systems and related supplies for the manufacture of solar cells, semiconductors, and silicon wafers, today announced the Company has received a $3.9 million follow-on solar order for diffusion processing systems from an existing solar cell customer based in Taiwan.

Axion Power International is a small, innovative research and development company engaged in the advancement of a line of hybrid electrical energy storage batteries based on its proprietary E3 Cell technology.

Initially, we plan to develop our E3 Cell technology for use in "fixed" installations like uninterruptible power supply equipment, backup power supplies for telecommunications and cable television systems and surplus energy storage systems for wind and solar energy generators.

In the future, we plan to expand our focus to additional markets, including "mobile" applications, such as golf carts, electric wheelchairs and forklifts; possibly even entering the market of battery systems for hybrid automobiles.

Axion Power International shares are quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets (Symbol: AXPW). As our company grows and our business develops, we hope to rapidly graduate to the OTC Bulletin Board, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Long description

The company's first commercial product, a quarter size battery with a 12-20 year lifespan and mission critical reliability, has performance characteristics that address current problems faced by medical implant, oil and gas, and remote sensing industries, as well as military and space organizations. Going forward, BetaBatt intends to apply its novel architecture to Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), Mesh Networks, Smart Dust and other micro/nano architectures requiring long-lasting reliable power sources.

Semiconductor devices based on Direct Energy Conversion (DECTM) technology will generate electric current from a radioelement source. The efficiency of the DECTM Cell stems from its single step capture-and-conversion method. DECTM Cells use energy produced from the decay of a radioactive isotope, not a chemical reaction. The Company's patented architecture - based on the same physical principles that are employed in solar cells - and the selection of beta emitters ensures a power source that emits no radiation and is safer than chemical batteries for a broad variety of industrial and medical applications.

A key innovation is the distribution of the beta emitter energy source throughout the DECTM Cell volume. This means that the current generation is not just a surface effect, but occurs everywhere within the active volume. Thus, DECTM current sources are extremely efficient, converting a large fraction of the available decay energy into electric current. The first and second generations of tritium-powered BetaBatteriesTM are expected to produce 50- and 125-micro-Watts per cubic centimeter of active device volume, respectively.

BetaBatteryTM current sources are long-lasting, based on the selection of the beta source. Tritium has a half-life (T½) equal to 12.3 years. This means that after 12.3 years, the current output will be half its original value and a tenth of the original after 40 years. This productive life is orders of magnitude longer than chemical batteries. The decline in output for DECTM power cells will be quite predictable and can be accommodated by appropriate electronics design for each specific application.

With their high power and energy densities, supercapacitors are capable of producing the high burst power required, for example, when taking a digital photo, sending wireless phone or PDA transmissions, providing back-up energy, or hot-swapping battery packs.

As the use of mobile technology advances, the need for smaller, portable, and more highly functional devices grows.
This, in turn, intensifies the demand for battery power systems that are compact and light, but still provide long run times. CAP-XX supercapacitors will increasingly become the critical enabling technology that allows OEMs to achieve significant savings in cost, component count, mass, weight, and circuit complexity.

We at Cerion Technology, Inc. believe that a US transportation industry based upon diesel power, even more desirably, diesel-electric hybrid power, will substantially lessen our dependence upon foreign oil and significantly contribute to the reduction in the growth of greenhouse gases. The attractiveness of the diesel engine's many advantages over gasoline (spark ignition) engines (25% greater thermodynamic efficiency, 50% greater oil refinery yield of diesel relative to gasoline and 30% well-to-wheel efficiency of diesel electric hybrids, compared to 13% for hydrogen fuel cells) are somewhat diminished by the diesel engine's emissions of particulate matter (soot) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). CTI's diesel products, coupled with diesel oxidation catalytic converters mandated by the 2007 EPA emissions standards directly address and ameliorate these emissions issues.
