There are plenty of annuity calculators on the web. No idea why you are asking here, if someone gave you an answer would you know if it was a good answer?

pinecone, who's getting that work then?

B&S, that's what I was thinking, a >$1B valuation based on what they could do with tech, not what the company is 'worth' in terms of sales etc. we can only dream eh.

It was jokingly mentioned a few days ago whilst DW was away about a bidding war and that got me thinking, then I saw this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48395181

Surely a company like AFC has more potential than houzz, yes completely different markets, but from a income generation point of view they are not a necessity (power is), it's got a lowish barrier to entry, so a $4B valuation is surely a bit mad? Could AFC create similar revenues to Uber, Houzz, etc etc.I think yes. Anyone wanting to buy this knowledge surely has to stump up more than for a website and infrastructure that links drivers to passengers?

Anyway, no idea whats going to happen in the future, just wanted to note that there were companies out there with valuations that dwarf ours with probably worse financials.

coming out of kings cross there are solar powered lighting rigs, so obviously a big battery for overnight, so they've got the right idea on site, just could do more.

Don't you need sales staff to get sales? Sales fulfilment staff aren't needed with no sales, but actual people doing the selling, that's one way of getting sales.

Now that sounds like woo unfortunately. I do hope that there's a better explanation somewhere.

Slowroll, AFC is indeed proving to be stubborn, but there it has some historic weight of non-announcements to shift.

SlowRoll, AFC are hydrogen to power, a fuel cell company, not novel power to hydrogen. AFC are working on an installation in Aus, but definitely on a waste hydrogen to power basis. Nothing to do with storage of hydrogen, or the use of differently stored hydrogen, although they have just announced the use of Ammonia crackers in series with their fuel cell.

Aero and auto go on for as long as they want it to. There's an article floating around about the impact of tesla not using an auto grade touch screen, massive costs alluded to,and that's not safety critical, it's a huge barrier to entry, which is a blessing and a curse.

TwoCents: I would be surprised if the Fuel cell does not generate heat. Burning hydrogen for heat may not necessarily be more efficient than using it to generate electricity, electric boilers are very very efficient as they are so simple, so is burning similar to the efficiency of a fuel cell? With all of the inefficiencies than burning creates. I don't know the answer, but it's not as cut and dry as it looks.

It might be tongue in cheek, but it won't work like that, more extremes, much worse winters, hotter summers.

We're on oil, which is a PITA in bad winters, we went through 1/2 a tank in maybe 5 weeks during last winter, regardless of what happens we'll not be on piped fuel, we might therefore be the easiest to move to H2.

I can see a need for this product, to get MW of power to a site for multiple chargers is not trivial, it might be a lot easier to put a tank of hydrogen and some fuel cells, and keep filling up the tank. So it makes sense, does it actually deliver anything? We'll have to wait and see.

I've been here for a while, in at 5.9p, but speculative so not as loaded as i wish I had been, burned by my other speculative being a bit weak (at the moment hopefully).

who knows? the owner could be negotiating a sale as we speak either personally or for a product, the markets could continue with greta-bubble, or collapse. My opinion, i'm riding it for a bit longer.

Not FLX but, I had a call from a cyber security chap the other day, trying to sell me his services, AI threat detection etc. His pitch was awful, no confidence, barely letting me speak, as it turns out he was speaking to me thinking I was someone else, had got my phone number off linkedin, which had my job title which is nothing to do with infosec, whilst there is an appropriate person with a similar name that he should have been talking to, but he'd failed to find him.

I hope that this level of client research is not common across the industry and that some of them can actually talk to people.

ITM have built hydrogen refuelling stations in b'ham for buses. It's growing.

Lucky, it's only the point of being profitable if all else stays the same, we've had two new sets of information detailing changes in flow, and manufacturing, so at that point the longevity is just a number, what if they say 3,5 years do we throw out hands in the air, what if they say 3.5 years, and that makes us cheaper than a diesel set because we've also done x,y,z (not that I'm at all sure they done anything), as a number on it's own it's almost meaningless, a comparative number from say two years ago to now is interesting, a TCO number is interesting, based on both of those you can actually start to make judgements and decisions, with just a single data point not so much.

BB, comparative longevity, historic to now is useful I agree
