Special Reports: From time to time, I will include a Special
Report on a situation that I feel is important for you to pay particular
attention to. Here's the first one.
Special Report
ReDOX Technology Corporation
ReDox (OTC Bulletin Board/RDOX) is the best example of an emerging
technology growth company I've run across in a long time. I interviewed
CEO Richard
|
Szymanski & was so impressed with his progress that I decided to
do a Special Report on it. I did a short Sneak Preview last month,
but a lot has happened since then.
To review, RDOX spent 15 years developing high energy density
battery technology. It holds patents on thin-film aqueous aluminum-sulfur
batteries, which offer energy densities far greater than anything
on the market now, or, as far as I know, even in development.
The battery can last more than twice as long as a conventional
alkaline battery, has greater energy density than the lithium ion
batteries that power many of the newer laptop computers (& therefore
can provide longer service between charges), is less expensive to
build, more powerful, totally harmless to the environment, & recyclable.
This last attribute is especially useful in the manufacturing phase
of the business, with the emphasis placed on environmental issues
by municipalities today.
Since it can be made in multiple-layer thin-sheet form & molded
in almost any shape, it can serve as a structural part of the device
being powered. This gives it the added advantage of not adding any
additional weight to the device it powers.
The initial application will probably be the UPS market. UPS stands
for Uninterruptable Power Supply. It's the heavy unit you put under
your computer table & plug your computer & monitor into so if the
power goes off, you can save everything & turn off your computer
without losing anything. I have one on each of our computers.
Being able to make the case of the UPS the battery, the unit can
be much smaller & lighter, less expensive to manufacture, less expensive
to ship, & its use will greatly expand. In larger power applications
such as mainframe computers, rack space is at a premium, so being
able to put a high amount of energy into a much smaller space saves
money in more than one way. Another logical application is laptop
computers & other hand-held electronic devices, which will be able
to be smaller, weigh less, & be less expensive to make.
I see this technology as an important element in the ongoing &
rapidly expanding trend toward greater utilization of digital devices.
The R&D is just about completed, & the effort now is directed to
production engineering to get the technology into its commercialization
phase. I would guess product deliveries could begin before the end
of this coming year.
