Hello Daniel, I have an interesting design and application for a titanium dioxide-based battery. Do you make and test batteries as a hobby or is it your business?

1. Program Management and Proposal Writing Yes, I know what it takes and I ain't the guy. Anyone to suggest? In the meantime, I will send a copy of this to a Chemist friend of mine who expressed interest in being a PM. He would need help from you with the electrical side of the proposal. 2...

1. "Sounds like you want someone to write a proposal, work for some SBIR payments and have some ownership stake. I'm not enough of a believer (don't have anything to go by) to contribute any effort unpaid. And I'm not experienced at writing proposals (professor may be.)" Yes, that is correct. I...

I am not interested in glory or attention. My motive is to get the project up and running and hand it over to more energetic management. When called, I'll go on the stage as a "supporting actor".

1. Sure, send me the white paper, anything else that's not confidential Can the White Paper be safely transmitted over this website? 2. But I have to be paid for my time Payment would come after the Proposal is written and a contract signed by a sponsor. This would be done through your...

A peer-reviewed academic paper will be provided showing how the proposed material has been used as a constituent of a PV. It is again mentioned that a research scientist from a major university has seen this paper and thinks it is worth pursuing. This guy is the named inventor on PV-related...

Does it have the potential to produce AC at lower cost? Higher volume? Some other market benefit? Produce AC at Lower Cost When used as a substrate for solar cell applications to replace the Inverter, the idea will definitely reduce the total material and installation cost of the system...

1. "The idea seems detached enough from practical realities to get serious cooperation" How many times have the Columbus types of this world heard that form of encouragement from their "expert" counterparts? 2. "You would have to present an explanation of how it is supposed to work to get...

Hello Porch, a.k.a. Solar Addict, and Engineer Permit the invitation for more skepticism by adding a "Z" to the Dreamers X (Inverter) and Y (Battery). That "Z" is a Solar Panel application for this technology as well; using it as a photovoltaic substrate. University publications will be...

Re: 1. Sounds like a bunch of hogwash Thats what Re: 1. IDC IDC is Indirect Current. I worked in the electrical and steam generating industries and that is what the engineers called it. 2. Capacitor, not battery Defining the plenum as a Capacitor is probably more appropriate than...

Re: 1. nano dimensioned constituents Here is a simple explanation. The constituents possess the properties of Permittivity, high Capacitance, and are Programmable. 2. "you are brilliant" I am an average guy, I ain't no genius. Justified "ruler bruises" from a parochial school education prove...

The electricity is stored as DC. The output can be either IDC or DC. The nano dimensioned constituents can be programmed with software like a computer, Andy C.

I have come up with a nanotech-based design using pre-existing technologies that integrates this unique form of electrical energy storage (i.e. the battery) with the function of an inverter. If proven to be viable, there will be a significant reduction in the material costs of both the Battery...
