Breakthrough in Flywheel Technology: TFN Stock Breakthroughs

[HowiMade1290Dollars]

is this really a good idea?

[1BustedMyth]

I'm all for Flywheel Tech, however I smell Hard Sell here!

Friction and energy consumption can be reduced to zero by using Magnetal bearings

[Aesus1]

How does this overcome losses due to friction and energy conversion between electrical to mechanical and back?

[unusedsn]

the girls cute

so how do they store the energy?? on a literal level?

[Gaowyim]

looked like a Pump and Dump scam.

Do a search for the BCON June 2007 charts.  It sharply goes from $1 to $2.20 then sharply falls. Today Beacon is currently trading at $0.80

[tjtemp]

Beacon Power (BCON) will win this game of flywheels due to their high output

[Compmusician]

Sounds like a good idea to me. It might help to add credibility to mention that NASA already uses this technology.

Why does this guy keep pointing at the camera?

Is this a neurological condition?

Odd body language, seems like he's trying to appear aggressive and dominant. Maybe that is useful in stocks trading i dunno, i personally find myself LESS likely to listen to this guy's advice.

He must of come from Monster Truck Live-vo-vation: Grab the kids, and I'll see you on Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!!

The strength to be able to spin as fast as possible is the most important property of flywheel material. That's why carbon fiber flywheels remain the cutting edge of the technology.

Perhaps to improve more, in the future the materials will need some form of powered structural assistance (ie: like the fictional "structural integrity fields" of startrek).

A flywheel made entirely of a magnetically contained PLASMA would be interesting.

16000 RPMs . . . . try 100.000, The energy quadruples every time you double the rpm - just make a stronger flywheel . . . :)

[luisbaltazar1]

but what if it's not possible to make a stronger flywheel?

[benstanton]

"if" its not possible - not with steel :) there are other compounds that can be used that have many times the strength of steel. :)

[luisbaltazar1]

depending on the still we're talking about, i don't think there are materials that much stronger... but if there were, the cost per amount of stored energy would be most likely lower for steel. which would make their flywheels commercially more competitive.

[benstanton]

true - there is a company making flywheels purely out of carbon fiber - and another making them out of steel with a carbon fiber "wrap" - interesting technology . . .

[SlavaVB]

16,000 might be a lot depending on the size.
