I would have expected the finance to have been sorted before any purchase, otherwise I don't know

error sorry
to the benefit of everyone.

Wonderful news after the totally bad vibes coming out of Australia recently.
I believe Hydrogen could become the number one alternative to go to in the future. We have seen an enormous uplift in this in recent months and I hope it will continue to the benefit.
It appers this Hydrogen Society have already identified this shoulds be divided into industry specific areas each with its own unique problems to solve.

Filtered.

Too many distractions. market sentiment and negative oil vibes here for any rise in the short term.

'AFC had to get De Nora in to fix what GL had designed, hence the new AFC stack with new flow plates and much better elecrodes.

CWR had to go back to the drawing board as well, as their cell was delaminating and they had to fix it or go bust.'

Great, go for it.
As entrepreneurs in my company we always brought in experts to refine our products and manufacture what we were not capable of or because they had expensive machine tools which enabled us to avoid too many capital costs.

They are similar to wind turbine generators but, working underwater and in tidal streams. They are many times more compact than the wind generators and are more consistent due to the daily regularity of tides. There are several different types.
Plenty of information around to read.

When I started work in 1957 the company had small EVs towing trailers to deliver parts from stores to machine shops, assembly lines etc., and Nottingham was covered in electric trolley buses.
Nothing new then!
Where have we lost the last 60 odd years?

'what sort of minister does not understand that being on the stock market means your company is for sale (all of it) talk about ignorance'
Any PLC or Ltd. Co. is for sale if the directors gear it for sale and somebody is prepared to buy it.

Take this little price drop as an opportunity to stock up with a load more shares as I have.
It's only a month ago since the price was 5p.
This is just the beginning of a big disruptive technology and we all must go along with it, there is no turning back.
I'm more interested in the products and their future development. I've been involved with several products that had slow starts but their brilliance eventually shone through, so don't be disheartened by silly little incidents that happen along the way. There's really no such thing as bad publicity, the more we highlight a glich it takes longer to recover but recover it will when the technology is good.
So AFC have produced a device that can be used off grid. Brilliant. Why go head to head with the competition all the time when you have your own niche product. and a market for it. |Niche markets do come good.
Forget the negatives of the past and concentrate on a bright future.
Have you bought anymore yet?

'Aviation fuel is also pretty heavy.'
I believe a full fuel load on a Jumbo is 80 tonnes, probably less on a newer 2 engine plane, but they do travel a lot, lot further.
But fuel load reduces to 10% full load at end of flight.
So, average weight for weight, how far will a 45 tonne battery take you?
From the RNS's the directors seem to concentrate more on their share allocations than engineering announcements, not like when Harry was in charge and later with a BOD full of experienced engineers. Ahh yes but the accountants are in charge now.
Question - have the directors lost direction?

However AFC remains my biggest investment and growing.

Lots of shots of blank concrete walls, peoples backs, car bodies, doorways etc. items that don't need charging. Moving shots of AFC chargrs as the camera moved past.
Was this video a spoof?
Gei it off.

' or there would have to be a massive network of overnight chargers for sleeper-cabs up and down the country.'
I called my cousin, who has 80 truck cabs and 120 trailers and therefore keeps the cabs going all the time, about electric trucks. In the past when I have mentioned that I have seen one of his trucks he immediately asks 'was it on the move?' or 'was it stuck in a traffic jam?'. He replied that with the increasing important placed on tachographs in the cab and the fines imposed if rules aren't complied with the whole industry will have to change its modus operandi. His business revolves around the tacho. Rest stops and recharging (and avoiding delays in recharging, an unplanned event) will have to be co-ordinated one way or the other or he would lose time on each long distance trip including the return journeys. Remember intermediate rest stops 45 minutes, predicted recharging 5-6 hours.
So, nearly double the time, wages, running vehicle costs for a journey?
So forget cars, the recharging problem will be even greater for trucks and any long distance heavy vehicle and can only be ameliorated by a wholly comprehensive recharging infrastructure.
Can you imagine a coach load of elderly holiday makers on tour going for 6 hour breaks (I'm not so young myself).
So you're right, charging points at all truck and coach stops.

Morning Tinlode, is this the sort of infrastructure we looking for?
Yes ,just the job. We need British companies to follow on with this type of infrastructure. We need more localised manufacturing as well as national infrastructure to cope with localised intense hydrogen needs. No point having another major electrical infrastructure with all its transmission losses (15%) as well as a major hydrogen infrastructure with whatever pumping losses that would bring. Ports come to mind where, if shipping eventually goes over to hydrogen/ammonia fuel cells for long as well as short voyage, ships will need vast amounts of fuel in concentrated bursts.

Why not top up today while you wait to recharge your electric car?

What concerns me about electric trucks is how much CO2 each of their batteries will emit during their manufacture. As a battery for a Ford Mondeo is estimated to produce around 12 tonnes of CO2, a 720 kWh battery could produce over ten times that amount. And at the current state of the art it could weight 5 to 6 tonnes and you have to carry that around all the time and at a time when weight reduction will be equally as important now as it will be in the future.
Much better technology all around to go for a fuel cell.
Just as the marine industry is seriously considering fuel cell for larger ships, but that will need a refuelling facility at most ports or container ships will not be able to collect and deliver our imports and exports.

'Everyone is aware off and understands the issues you tabulate but my discussions are centred on the obstacles to uptake for AFC's EV chargers and the reasons why the electricity grid will remain the connection of first choice for the immediate future. For many reasons, it is a much longer journey for AFC Energy than many here are prepared to accept. Bmac'

Not everyone is aware of hydrogen, and ammonia etc. as a power source.
'Hydrogen, oh dear, don't want to be blown up, sorry, I've got to go and watch eastenders' Is the general consensus when I talk to people.. A lot don't even understand Brexit, let alone hydrogen.
Better for a hydrogen leak to exit straight up than be fried by 800 volts or burnt with a pool of petrol around your feet.
So it remains for us all to educate anyone around us of what the options are.
It will be a long journey. Electric power and fuel cells have been around for 200/100 years or more, were you educated about their attributes at school, no, neither was I until I took up science and engineering at 14. Fortunately the younger generation seems to have got it.
Everything new takes time to assimilate in the mind, I trust with all the hoo hah on these subjects that we learn quickly, very quickly.
