I emailed Cloudtag on the 25th March, so getting this news is quite nice after all of these years.
100% of the $275m sale price is $0.278 per share (I know we won't get 100%). Fortunately I made net profit on Cloudtag before they delisted, but I still have several 100k shares in them.
If you look at some of the RNS messages it mentions licencing the anti-viral layer. Its not clear how this layer is applied to the mask, but it could be that the method used by RMS allows for the layer to be added more cost effectively than other methods of adding an anti-viral layer to a mask. If its a roll of material and used in conjunction with the other material (rolls) that are sandwiched together and this is cheaper/faster than other methods, then licencing could be a strong revenue earner for them (on top of their own production line).
If you didn't know why the stock is rising, then please have a look at the following: https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/932385/braveheart-investment-group-pharm2farm-designs-antiviral-face-mask-to-kill-covid-19-932385.html

Started buying this stock back in early September along with Braveheart (BRH) who own 38.5% of RMS after seeing it mentioned on a Share discussion group and managed to get going at 0.36p. I've been topping up ever since, so I've managed to keep my average price quite low at 0.6p. I hope this continues with all the news that is pending on the manufacturing site and orders.

the reason for the increase in share price of Supply@Me Capital PLC announced a strategic inventory funding agreement with a new “captive bank” worth up to €8 billion over the next five years.
The company revealed that it had signed a strategic agreement with a leading European alternative investment firm and its shareholders, 1AF2 and The AvantGarde Group, to acquire a yet to be named European bank.
SYME will name the bank once all contractual and regulatory procedures are completed.
There are British companies trying to break into the EV vehicle market, although in the end some of them received their funding from overseas companies. Check out the following British EV vehicle companies like Arrival, Bristol Superlight, Alcraft, Riversimple (hydrogen), etc and associated companies like Magtec, Tevva, Saietta, BritishVolt, etc as well as the long established ones like Jaguar, Mclaren and others. The problem for many is finding these companies since the UK GOV does hardly anything to promote them.
As already said by others the lack of storage is a big issue for wind farms, so allowing more wind farms to generate electricity to power electrolysis of water to create hydrogen allows them to sell the energy when it is needed. The wind blows when it wants and often when the energy isn't needed. If Britain had some high lakes like Norway we could implement more pumped hydro dams but we don't, so we are left with storage. Either battery storage or hydrogen storage.
Talking with some experts that I know, the reason why Italy is suffering hugely with Coronavirus is a total lack of Governmental tracking/tracing of the contact made by infected people with the general public. As such the virus is spreading like wildfire in Italy. The hung parliament in Italy doesn't help matters with the power split between three parties with opposing agendas.
On the other hand, in the UK and many other Countries, we are tracing all the people who have been exposed to an affected person and putting them into quarantine. This is why the virus is advancing very slowly in the UK vs Italy. It is possibly the reason why certain other Countries have similar issues.
The capacity factor is shown on WiKi for Wind Farms at 39-47% in Europe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_factor
The issue at the moment with Wind Farms around the UK is that we have little to no storage of the wind energy when the wind is strong, so turbines are switched off which further reduces the capacity factor. If this Country had storage facilities (Lithium/Ultra capacitor or other methods) the amount of Wind farms needed to reach the goal in the article would be far lower.
I think your maths is out. 2000 Hydrogen cars dont cost the same as 20,000,000 ICE engine vehicles. For sure platinum based fuel cells are expensive and holding back any form of mass production in cars, but many other Fuel cells are being developed that dont require Platinum. This research is probably 7 to 15 years away from production. In the meantime we can simply burn hydrogen like the trial being conducted in the UK to mix 20% into the main gasline. Also platinum based hydrogen fuel cells are still viable for high sale price vehicles like Buses where Worldwide volumes are much smaller while the cheaper Fuel cells are developed.
Opps made a mistake 1W/hr is 3600 Joules, not 1kW/hr
There is 120 Million Joules of energy in 1kg Hydrogen. Using Joules is more useful than using the term "kg" when converting Joules to Watts, since 1 Watts second = 1 Joule. 1kW/hr is 3600 Joules since there are 3600 seconds in one hour.
However 16TW is not equal to 120 ExoJoules (10^18), but instead equal to 16 Tera-Joules (10^12). 120 ExoJoules is 33.3TW/hrs or 120,000TW. Whoever wrote this article needs an education.
If the car went through an 'one' extra full cycle charge while connected to the Grid every night (ignoring the full charge needed for driving), the battery would last 1500 / 365 = 4 years. The gird connection would accelerate the demise of the battery
The issue with using electric cars as a storage system for the grid is that the battery is designed for the full cycle charging of running the car, not the grid as well. A Tesla can quote a battery life of 500k miles because it can go 330 miles on a full charge. 500k / 330 = 1500 full cycle charges, which is about the limit of a Lithium battery today. Add it several more full cycle charges if your car is connected to the grid and your precious Tesla will need a new battery after 50k miles. At the moment the cost of a battery replacement for the Tesla (and other electric cars) isn't far off the cost of a new Tesla. Basically no one in their right minds would select to have their car grid connected unless you have deep pockets
In regard to JonTangle's post about disconnecting Smart Meters, I am sorry but this is not correct. I've designed Smart Meters for more than a decade in the past. The Smart Meter doesn't feature a Power switch that can be controlled remotely to turn off the Mains ac connection. By law any disconnection to your electricity supply has to be done by a representative that enters your home and manually disconnects the Mains ac just like a traditional meter. As far as I know this has been done less than 100 times in the last 5 years in the UK. It is extremely rare.
The main issue with electric cars is the infrastructure. As the range of cars goes up, the battery gets bigger, and therefore it needs a greater charge to top up. At present a home charger is limited to 3kW, which wouldn't make a dent in a Tesla's car battery today let alone a car in 2025. The charger at home would have to increase significantly which means ripping up every road, everywhere and laying down thicker cables and even using 3 Phase Meters in every home to manage it. The cost is this is mind boggling.
Could this price fall be a simple reaction to the larger "No deal" Brexit issue which seems to be affecting a lot of share prices.
Interactive Investor response was
"The NASDAG first North exchange is a subset of NASDAQ Nordic exchange which we (interactive Investor) trade in Sweden. This exchange also covers Denmark, Iceland, and Norway which we (interactive Investor) do not trade on. All Swedish exchange trades are done over the phone using our telephone trading service".
So, it depends which exchange Cloudtag use for use this trading site.
