Re: Can we have some news? Well yes we got some news but disappointed with the timescales. I wonder why it takes so long (18 months) to get a processing plant up and running?

Re: Toyota cracks magnesium battery Can#t work out if these Toyota design solid stae are lithium based?[link] Power, for now, is trying to commercialize its solid electrolyte combined with a lithium-metal anode and a more conventional nickel-manganese-cobalt lithium-ion chemistry. This design can produce an energy density increase of one-quarter to one-third at the cell level, compared to the cells in a Tesla Model S, Garrett estimated; additional gains are expected at the pack level.[link] difference between a conventional lithium-ion battery and a solid-state version is the electrolyte composition between the cathode and the anode. Conventional lithium-ion batteries use a liquid electrolyte, but require relatively large spacers between each cell (20-30 micron separators per cell). comparison, a solid-state lithium-ion battery requires just 3-4 microns for separators.[link]

Re: Toyota cracks magnesium battery 25 July[link] Motor Corp. said Tuesday it was nearing a major technological breakthrough in electric-car batteries, as the world’s second-largest car maker by sales accelerates its push to build all-electric vehicles.[link] is touting its progress on a new kind of battery technology, which uses a solid electrolyte instead of the conventional semi-liquid version used in today’s lithium-ion batteries. The car maker said that it’s near a breakthrough in production engineering that could help it put the new tech in production electric vehicles as early as 2020, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Re: Tesla Huge Battery Deal I think I read somewhere that France plan to have all petrol and diesel cars off the road by 2040. Doubt I will be around then so I hope us long suffering shareholders benefit somewhat long before then! BCN in my opinion would appear to be the best bet!

O/T KENV For anyone who's interested in miners - here's an early stages play that you might be interested in. N.B. KENV is described as an investment company, but it's got a 75% stake in a tantalum mine in Namibia.[link] I'm not spamming/ramping - I'm only posting on BCN and SXX as two other miners I'm invested in as others have expressed an interest in similar stocks in the past.DYOR.

Placing 10% dilution. Shares bought by Hanwa for 82p.I guess a few PIs would have liked to have a few at that price but no such luck.At least it cements Hanwa's commitment to the company.May cause a terrace and a buying opportunity, who knows.TP
