This is the right energy for us. It is not about the money any more - it is about our own right to survive. Bankrupt financial system will not be able to cope with another recession after oil will pass 100 USD per barrel again. Listen to Jeff Rubin and listen carefully, please. Jim Puplava has put a new piece on Peak Oil on his webcast this week as well.

"Today everybody is exited about REE, tomorrow Peak Oil time will come and Lithium will make the headlines again. During excitement stage it is easy to make the wrong decision and chase the mini bubbles only to see them to pop - do not mistake the mega trends, Next Big Thing and parabolic rises. There is time to buy and time to sell. REE gives us a very good example - what can happen with a very small sector, when the all world depends on it. Peak Oil realisation will be next. With GM Voltand Nissan Leaf on the streets you will see the future - The Future is Electric."


BBC has exceeded today even its own monthly amount of misery in one episode covering electric cars on their, supposed to be bright day, of eco-friendly cars rally from Brighton to London. Now, finally, we have professionals advertising the idea about Electric Cars.

"When we would like to understand the potential scenarios for adoption rate of Electric Cars, make a forecast for demand for EVs, lithium batteries and Lithium and REE as strategic commodities - we better go where the future is already happening. This time it is happening in Japan and not only in a sense of the latest technologies involved in EVs - like electric power-trains and lithium batteries - but more in a sense of the living in the world without cheap oil."

Canada Zinc Metals drills 9.82 m of 7.69% Zn+Pb at Cardiac czx.v, lun.to, tnr.v, bwr.to, cs.to, imn.to, ncu.to, tko.to, wrn.to, qux.to, rio, bls.to, tck

This company is in a consolidation pattern - nobody wants it - apart from Chinese giant Tongling, another Chinese investor and Lundin Mining, which is still sniffing around this deposit. Will it be in the end the same "nobody wants time" as we had with other juniors this August? We do not know, but we like the things, which insiders or industry leaders or both are buying. We had a very exciting run after summer napping time in Almaden Minerals, Copper Fox Metals, Goldstone Resources, Sunridge Gold, Avino Silver, Alkane Resources, NGeX Resources, Revett Minerals - to name a few among other companies. 

Canada Zinc Metals and TNR Gold are still lagging the performance and they are late to the QE party, but whether it is still a buying opportunity will be decided by the Mr Market in the end, as usual.

What is the common sense in the so different investment situations: when Erick Sprott  buys into Avino Silver, Silver Wheaton buys into Revett Minerals, Lukas Lundin buys into NGeX Resources and invest more to keep its stake in Sunridge Gold, Panasonic buys into Tesla, Tongling buys into Canada Zinc Metals and Nova Gold sells 50% of 1 mil NON 43-101 historical resource of gold at Shotgun for shares of TNR Gold and significantly increase its position in that company? All these situations are common only in one, but very powerful in investment world thing: industry and/or company insiders are buying in. Can they be mistaken - yes, by all means - but we like to follow the "smart" money.

Tongling, apparently, has spent some time and money with one of the leading consultants in the industry on DD before making a decision to increase its stake to over 30% in Canada Zinc Metals. Time will tell you and us, as usual - who is making mistake us or the market in pricing of this M&A situation in Canada with Chinese deep pockets. Catalyst will be:

1. Closing of Tongling financing.

2. Higher zinc and lead prices (QE multiplied by Zinc shortage, according to some reports).

3. Growth of the deposit size at NW extension.

4. New discoveries at the North Lead anomaly.

5. Lukas Lundin involvement.

China is taking Electric Cars very seriously. Just over the weekend we were listening to Jim Puplava with Puru Saxena discussing Peak Oil situation and how China is moving fast to mitigate the situation. Thousands of miles of high speed railway system are built now, connecting all major cities in China with latest trains as fast as 400km/h. There is a plan now to connect China by high speed railway system with Singapore - China is facilitating the move from the airlines and to the high speed trains, which could be powered by electricity.

Electric car is the solution for the ground transportation and with billions of dollars invested in electric cars now we have the major catalyst in the making. Now they are ordering electric power-trains for Electric Buses from UK. Everybody is fighting for the Chinese market and China welcomes the West...with the proper technology. Industry insiders are talking straight - in any case our technology will be subject of a copycat in another couple of years - we will be better off if we can get at least part of the profits.

BYD - Chinese company backed by Warren Buffett - has literally thousands of engineers working on battery systems and electric power-trains. If this nation can produce everything from iPhone to latest DWDM optical switches, it will take only time when Chinese engineers will come up with their own products and they can actually lead in electric cars technology.

Last week news about DBM Energy with its wonder Lithium Metal Polymer battery gave us some hope that not everything is lost in the West, but we will have to see who will buy and implement that technology in the end. If the claims of that company will be confirmed mass transportation system could be easily converted into electric one based on electric buses. It all means additional demand for lithium and REE.


News From Liberty Electric Cars

Liberty Electric Cars wins Chinese Government contract

27th September 2010

Liberty Electric Cars has entered into an agreement with a Chinese Government agency to provide the technology for a pure electric bus platform to be built in China. The programme sees the building of a minimum of 10,000 buses over a 5 year period with the possibility for this to rise to 30,000. Each one of the buses to be built in China will use a unique “e-Kit” designed, assembled and shipped from the North East of England. A dinner in celebration of the partnership was hosted by Sir John Hall at Wynyard Hall in the North East, where the management team of Liberty and the Chinese delegation were told by Sir John of his support and enthusiasm for the project and the prestige it would bring to the area.

And we have again Lithium Polymer battery packs here.

"E-Range

The Liberty Electric E-Range is the world’s first luxury high-performance, Pure Electric, non-polluting 4x4 that will be readily available to fill a significant gap in the family-size and luxury vehicle market – and it will be available in the UK before any other country by the end of this year.

The Liberty Electric E-Range accelerates from zero to 60 in circa 7 seconds, reaches a top speed of 100mph, and has a distance capacity of 200 miles on one single charge – this is the upper end of the drive range that any current EV is able to achieve. In short, the vehicle enables the consumer to enjoy the power, prestige and luxury of the iconic Range Rover without the cost to the environment.

The proprietary and patented technology works by engineering electric propulsion into existing vehicle platforms, replacing the internal combustion engine with electrical power via four on-board motors (one per wheel). Liberty’s electric technology incorporates a state of the art energy storage system that is easily rechargeable from a standard electricity supply or with a fast charger. This provides performance and range ability that has never before been achieved in the 4x4 sector and allows for significantly lower running costs when compared to normal cars – for example those spending an average of £50 a week on petrol would see their costs reduce to just £10 a week.

The new technology can also allow for wireless charging – another world-first – where the car is simply parked over an induction plate and charges automatically without the need for plugs or power leads.

With the E-Range, no maintenance is needed

With the change to Pure Electric, the motors and batteries need no maintenance.

We are offering distance intervention for software changes and updates, so we should be able to assess and fix minor things over the internet. The brakes and suspension parts will need maintenance as per a usual car. However, there is no exhaust, no service on the engine, less wear on the brakes, no fuel tank or lines to get blocked or wear out, no air filters, oil filters or old oil to dispose of – just all round much cleaner!

“The E-Range is the first large, luxury vehicle that is 100 per cent zero emission yet performs as well – and in some cases even better – than any combustion-engine equivalent available on the market today” says Barry Shrier, CEO of Liberty Electric Cars.


Easy Charging

Liberty’s unique patented high density Lithium Polymer Battery Pack features a quick charge option from a suitably powerful charging system mounted off board.

On-board trickle charger provides charging from any suitable point including standard 13 amp supply. The battery can be charged in one to three hours from a fast charger or using an optional induction system.

Liberty technology can also allow for wireless charging — another world-first — where the car is simply parked over an induction plate and charges automatically without the need for plugs or power leads."

Lithium Metal Polymer Battery from DBM Energy - Secret of The World Record With Electric Car Revealed tnr.v, rm.v, lmr.v, alk.ax, tsla, sqm, fmc, roc, lit, li.v, wlc.v, clq.v, res.v, ree, avl.to, nsany, f, gm, rno.pa, dai, byddf, hev, aone, vlnc

Last week we saw the news on numerous websites about the new magic battery from German start up DBM Energy, which allows to power an Electric Car for...600 km! We were digging the information and now can tell you - that if this information will be confirmed - we have a breakthrough in lithium  battery technology. We do not know the cost of this battery at this moment, its specific power and other specs, but claims are so impressive, that we still need further confirmation and verification by the third parties.

Over 300 Wh/kg - to put it in perspective - Nissan Leaf 24 kWh battery will be in this case 80 kg! Now weight of the battery pack for Nissan Leaf is 300kg. Renault Fluence 22 kWh battery weight is 250 kg.

Lifetime of 2500 Charge cycles without degradation - if you drive 200km every day and have to charge this battery every 3 days - you have 20 years of lifespan of this battery! Everything with a solid 10 year warranty will work for Electric Cars mass market. Solution so far was 8 year warranty by GM Volt and Nissan Leaf and Renault actually announced that they will lease the lithium batteries - we called it the breakthrough for EV mass market at the time.

6 min charge time for 100 kWh - it is important to know with what kind of a fast charger it was done, but in anyway - if battery can sustain 2500 cycles with this kind of fast charger - it is another breakthrough. Question will in Charging Infrastructure, but it is 6 min for 100 kWh - too good to be true.

and it is ... LMP Lithium Metal Polymer!

Even if these claims will be true by only half in a normal market and industrial conditions we, maybe, have already stepped in another era for EVs. Lithium and REE resources will gain their strategic importance overnight now. Confirmation of these claims by DBM Energy means that we can move today to Electric Cars, even without the claimed cost advantage vs "normal" lithium cells technology. Even if the price now will happen to be the same as known technology - mass market production of electric cars will bring prices of the batteries down faster than 8% per year according to Elon Musk from Tesla Motors.

Engadget:

DBM Energy's electric Audi A2 completes record setting 372 mile drive on a single charge

116 miles in an electric vehicle? No problem. But you'll quite literally be pushing your new Nissan Leaf another 250 miles to achieve what's being hailed as a world record in Germany. Little Lekker Mobil, a four-seat Audi A2 refitted with an experimental electric powerplant as part of a government sponsored project with Germany's lekker Energie and DBM Energy, just completed a 372-mile (600-km) stretch of road between Munich and Berlin on a single charge, a journey that lasted around seven hours. Even with the heater running, the modified A2 with fully usable trunk arrived with spare electricity in the "tank." The battery uses DBM Energy's KOLIBRI AlphaPolymer Technology said to be 97 percent efficient and chargeable from virtually any socket -- plug it into a high voltage DC source and it can be fully charged in just six minutes according to the car's driver and battery inventor, Mirko Hannemann. While Hannemann wouldn't be pinned down on pricing for the battery, the 27 year old did say that it would be more powerful and cheaper than conventional lithium ion batteries. He even went so far as to suggest that his company was ready to begin mass production of the batteries now -- presumably aided by the large sacks of money he'll be handed after pulling off the record breaking stunt."

"Why ...

... Lithium is the new star in heaven battery?

... is the lithium polymer technology superior to others?

... HUMMINGBIRD is the technology renaissance of mobility? 

"- Secure pathways to the future of electric vehicles" on the Registrar Summit
Chancellor Angela Merkel insisted the desire of Germany to lead market electric vehicles in Germany and the will to innovate. Just two months later appear to aversieren reports of major auto companies to the contrary.

So bought Daimler in China and USA, Volkswagen and BMW also drive more and more with foreign batteries and all with German funding? None of the companies in their actions shows real interest in battery technologies, which are virtually on their doorstep. Instead, they always give the advantages of conventional Verbrennertechnologie for the best.

The DBM is now publishing a book of presentation showing the current state of battery technology for electric vehicles and industrial power supply and raises the question why is the electric vehicles from becoming even when the battery is not the problem?

Important issues that were worked up by using scientific studies, they form the basis for the book "Lithium - A new era of energy storage". The book compares the lithium polymer-based technology to conventional batteries, as well as conventional lithium-ion batteries, and shows how the new technology applications that will be seen only by lobbyists in the distant future, already makes it possible.

Experts come to the conclusion: 

The actual state of battery technology in 2010 is equivalent to what is in the media and policy documents actually required until 2015 - a fact that not everyone would like."

Questions and answers:

"Where does lithium? 

Lithium is an alkali metal that makes up 0.006% of the earth's crust and therefore somewhat more common elements such as lead, tin or cobalt. Lithium as a raw material derived mainly from salt lakes like the Salar de Atacama in Chile, the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. In these lakes, the lithium is a salt, for example, in conjunction with chlorine. The liquor goes through several stages of evaporation and purification, to the lithium technically processed there. 

As the world's lithium reserves are even larger than the lead well, a long-term raw material security is guaranteed.Projections assume an availability from almost 1,300 years. (Source: Chemetall) 

What makes lithium so special? 

Lithium is the lightest of all metals and also has one of the highest response potential among the elements. As a result, this metal is particularly well suited to store large amounts of energy and release it again. 

Can the KOLIBRI alpha polymer technology burn or explode? 

NO. An accidental self-ignition of the battery is not possible. Although the material contains lithium at a high reactivity, but it has managed the DBM Energy GmbH, through new, innovative steps in the production of lithium, treated and prepare that no potential danger exists. New membrane and coating technologies ensure that the hummingbird cells are manufactured with maximum precision. This makes the batteries are not temperature, not shock or vibration-sensitive and precludes the possibility of spontaneous combustion by a metallic fire inside the cell. 

If the KOLIBRI battery, a lithium-ion technology? 

NO. The hummingbird is a lithium battery based on polymers. This type of battery is very different from the lithium-ion technology, which both construction and components is concerned. 

What the KOLIBRI technology makes it so unique? 

In contrast to conventional battery technologies is the hummingbird a pure solid cell from which neither can nor liquids gases to escape. Most modern membrane technology and a special electrolyte composition provides the excellent performance figures for the hummingbirds. 

What are the benefits of alpha polymer KOLIBRI Technology? 

The Hummingbird allows you to reach new dimensions of your daily work. The use in many applications, it enables you to achieve significant process improvements and save money. You can replace your current battery with no additional costs or life change that can lead to a loss of productivity. 

For which applications the polymer-alpha KOLIBRI Technology be used? 

The Hummingbird technology can be used in any battery application, which is possible today. There is no limit on individual applications or industries. You can replace all your conventional batteries, except for example in mobile or stationary application in a forklift in the UPS system. More detailed information can be found under the menu item "Products". 

Is a modification of the equipment needed? 

NO. A conversion of your devices is not necessary. Our goal is to offer solutions that are available to you NOW. This means that age out battery, new battery is clean and that your no extra effort or significant interruption of ongoing operations. 

What Do I need to use a KOLIBRI batteries? 

When using the batteries hummingbird the order of the general caution should be noted, as in dealing with any other product also (from the ruler up to the ink pad). Apart from offering the KOLIBRI fully operational at temperatures between -40 and 100 ° C and is not to shock, vibration or pressure sensitive. 

Can I actually save the KOLIBRI Technology costs and energy? 

The use of a hummingbird battery, save without sacrificing performance, safety or comfort to. The sole can replace a conventional lead-acid batteries by the hummingbird save 70% energy and money. This effect is caused solely by the higher efficiency of the battery. In addition, the KOLIBRI of the handling is so problematic ago that no expensive replacement stations are needed. Depending on the application, you can also forgo the purchase of spare batteries. 

With the alpha KOLIBRI polymer technology at actually protecting the environment? 

By the hummingbird you reduce your electricity consumption by 70%, which can improve the CO2 footprint of your company and its products significantly. In addition, the hummingbird No heavy metals or poisonous gases or liquids that can be the charge to your employees or the environment. All materials used in the hummingbird are completely recyclable and the value chain can be fed back completely, without costly or dangerous treatment."

375 Mile BEV Drive Highlights New Battery Technology - The Silver Bullet Was Fired!

 

 DBM’s “KOLIBRI alpha polymer” tech proves itself in a real world spectacle of earth shattering proportions!

Wayne Gerdes - CleanMPG - Oct. 29, 2010

2010 Audi A2 travels 375 miles on a single charge equipped with DBM Battery tech. 

Could obsolete the 2011 LEAF and Volt overnight!

Since 2008, the DBM production-ready battery technology has been setting new standards in a number of very unique areas. And the question was raised. What if you would use this battery technology to drive an electric vehicle? The result was the Munich-Berlin project or a BEV for everyday use.

Hummingbird Alpha Polymer Battery

The Hummingbird alpha polymer technology is more than just a battery; it is a complex system consisting of high-quality individual components. The cells use the lithium metal polymer technology with an important difference. That being reliability. 

The Cells are also devoid of “any” harmful or toxic substances, heavy metals, liquids or gases. The basis of the high performance is a complex membrane technology from which the cells achieve a high degree of stability and efficiency. 

Some History

Developed by the DBM, the KOLIBRI alpha polymer technology has been on the market since 2009 in various in industry and renewable energy applications. 

In September of 2009, a KOLIBRI alpha polymer battery installed in a simple electric forklift displayed spectacular performance during a demonstration run. The KOLIBRI battery charged to just one-third of its nominal capacity was let loose with an unheard of and claimed efficiency of 99.7%!

In January 2010, DBM was presented with an Innovation Award for their development of the extremely efficient yet powerful battery technology.

Today

DBM did not stop there. In September of 2010 using an even more advanced prototype of the alpha polymer battery, it was proven that commercial BEVs could be driven throughout a 24 hour cycle on a single charge! 

With this feat behind them, series production and fast track technology adaption for other applications soon followed. 

First out of the gate was the German National development planning team for electric mobility whose stated goals include 185 mile All-Electric Range (AER) BEVs by 2015. With the new technology available, this goal was set to be conquered this year! A BEV using the KOLIBRI technology could not only achieve 185 miles range but double that. And double that they did! 

The new frontier has been breached. Namely, 375 miles on electricity without restrictions.

Adding, the battery is supposedly able to recharge in just 6-minutes from a very high current, DC source.

The World Record All-Electric Drive - Munich to Berlin

Monday, Oct. 25, 2010 – 09:00 PM -- Departure from Munich 

Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2010 - 01:00 AM -- Arrival in Franconia Forest - Distance traveled: 200.26 miles. 

National Development Plan for Electric Mobility of 185 miles has been exceeded and there is still over ½ the charge left in the batteries!

Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2010 - 05:00 AM -- Arrival in Berlin. 

Distance covered 375 miles on a single charge. That is a world record and at a damn good clip too!

In addition to the night drive to keep traffic at bay, it was cold and the A2 even transitioned through a bit of rain!

Audi A2 DBM Specifications

• Empty weight: 2,620 pounds <-- That is a light aluminum car with a battery big enough for a 375 mile AER trip!
  
  
• Battery Detail: Li-Fe-Poly (260 Ah/380 V) cell voltage of 3.8 volts <-- 100 kWh pack?
  
  
• Battery weight: 660 pounds <-- More than likely 120 kWh at a .2 kWh/mile minimum from just 660 pounds? Yet another game changing "Super Battery" Spec.
  
  
• Charging Time Average: Approximately 4 hours for 70-miles AER at maximum V and Current from a European household circuit.
  
  
• Charging Time Minimum: 6 minutes (a future solution) <-- Got a Coal or Nuke Plant nearby that you can tap into its 345 kV AC through a rectified super DC circuit? In addition, a charge rate that high leads to a discharge rate of enormous proportions. How much HP you want is only limited by the size and current capability of the electric motor you want to install and the Inverter and BUS' current limited capacity. That is if you use an A/C motor ;)
  
  
• Battery Cycle Limit: Life Time of 2500 full charge cycles with no loss of capacity! <-- Yet another game changing "Super Battery" Spec.
  
  
• Battery Service Life Target: 300,000 miles <-- Jesus H. ...
  
  
• Top speed: 99 mph
  
  
• Transmission: 5-speed MT
  
  
• Motor Torque: 230 lb-ft.

Very Early Conclusions 

Congratulations DBM for not only achieving the impossible but doing so in a manner as to make the $100’s of Billions spent to date a waste "if" the power and energy density, price, long term reliability, safety and packaging of your new battery turns out to be as spectacular as your recent world record and specs lead us to believe?

If all the above conditions were met (not 2,000 pounds of batteries instead of a claimed 660 pounds or taking up the entire rear seat, rear cargo space and engine compartment... Or something else just as silly?), it really does appear that our addiction and the grip that foreign oil has had around our necks for decades may be coming to a close.

Thank you from so many here in the US and I hope you become the most wealthy company on the face of the earth as you certainly deserve it "if" what has been achieved can be applied to the rest of our transportation solutions."
