Deswegen kommt da nur American Superconductor(AMSC) in Frage, ein Supraleiterproduzent.
Ich frage mich, ob das in letzer Zeit Insiderkäufe waren. Ein Schelm, wer dabei an bin Laden etc. denkt
-Fahrräder werden auch nachgefragt.

Ist nur die Frage, welches dieser Unternehmen überproportional davon profitieren kann

etc. usw.

Morgen(16.8.2002) sehe ich also große Kurssteigerungen(wenn die Börsen technisch denn mitmachen können)

vor allem bei:

Mount 10 - sicherlich für 10% gut
Ballard Power - bis 15%
Sun Power - 20% und mehr
Quantum Fuel und Stuart Energy sind für zweistellige Prozentsteigerungen gut.
American Superconductor ist morgen für mehr als 20% gut

Für Richtigkeit wird nicht garantiert, mal schauen was wird
Alternativen sind willkommen, mehr fallen mir momentan nicht ein

Reuters
Superconductor lines could boost U.S. power grids
Thursday August 14, 12:00 pm ET
By Leonard Anderson


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. electric utility industry is tapping superconductivity to make a new generation of power lines it hopes will unclog the overworked grids serving New York and other big cities.

Scientists and power engineers say breakthroughs in superconductor research will pack more electricity into ceramic-coated filaments less than the width of a human hair to deliver needed megawatts through underground lines.

"We`ve got a good chance to make this happen in the next few years," said Dean Peterson, leader of the Superconductivity Technology Center at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

A U.S. Department of Energy program to reshape the nation`s power grid -- "Grid 2030" -- says superconducting cables could relieve the congestion seen on many urban electric systems.

A superconductor is a material that is a perfect conductor of electricity when it is cooled to a super-cold minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 160 Celsius).

Iced down by liquid nitrogen, a superconductor filament can carry three to five times more electricity than a conventional copper wire and without resistance.

The power industry is working on early-stage projects for the new transmission wires in Long Island and Albany, New York; Columbus, Ohio, and other urban areas.

American Superconductor Corp. (NasdaqNM:AMSC - News) of Westborough, Massachusetts, is lead contractor for one of the first installations of superconductor cable in a live grid at transmission voltage in East Garden City, a Long Island suburb of New York City.

American Semiconductor, which is also shipping superconductor wires for two power projects in China, will lay a 2,000 foot (600 meter) underground circuit in the grid operated by the Long Island Power Authority.

BLACKOUT THREAT

LIPA, the third largest municipal utility in the U.S., has been threatened with blackouts the past few summers because it desperately needs more power to serve over 1 million customers during the peak air conditioning months.

The new circuit could power 300,000 homes and is expected to be operating by late 2005, said John Howe, vice president of electric industry affairs for American Semiconductor.

"Superconductor wires make the most sense for congested urban areas where space is at a premium and utilities find it`s hard to get permits to install new infrastructure," Howe told Reuters.

The lines must be underground because of cooling needs, eliminating unsightly transmission towers, and they can break up congested grid points by sharply increasing the volume of electricity in the system.

The early superconductor projects involve 33-foot lengths (10 meters) of wire, but next-generation wire will need to reach 6/10 of a mile (1 km) to make it more cost competitive with copper cable, according to wire manufacturers.

Other U.S.-based companies pursuing superconductor projects include the SuperPower Inc. unit of Intermagnetics General Corp. (NasdaqNM:IMGC - News), of Latham, New York, and Southwire Co., based in Carrollton, Georgia.

In addition to higher-capacity transmission grids, utilities are studying a range of power gear based on advances in superconducting at Los Alamos and other research labs.

Rosemead, California-based Edison International`s (NYSE:EIX - News) Southern California Edison utility subsidiary is working on projects to store electricity and a super-fast, high-voltage circuit breaker that can push more current through a power line, said Syed Ahmed, manager of SoCal Edison`s superconducting work.

Hier die Antwort auf meine Fragen an die Trithor GmbH


-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht-----

Betreff: Info zu Supraleitern


Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

ich interessiere mich für die Supraleitertechnik und habe dazu mehrere Fragen:


1)Inwieweit wird bei der Produktion Ihrer Produkte und Kabel Silber benutzt, und wie hoch ist der Anteil in Prozent ca.?

2)Ich habe gehört, dass Silber luftdurchlässig ist(bei komprimierter Luft/Gas), ist das korrekt?

3)Was bedeutetet der Begriff "HTS-Draht" genau?

4)Gibt es Ihrer Meinung nach heuer oder in Zukunft einen Stoff, der Silber in der Supraleitertechnik ersetzen könnte, falls z.B. Silber zu teuer wird?

5)Wann amortisieren sich nach dem heutigen Stand der Technik die Kosten für Kabel oder Generatoren etc., die mit Supraleitern bestückt sind?
Wird daraus trotz erforderlicher Stickstoffkühlung eine genügende Energie u. Kostenersparnis gewonnen?

6)Bekamen Sie schon Anfragen aus den USA, da das dortige Stromnetz derart marode ist, dass über Neuinvestitionen nachgedacht werden muss?

7)Wie sieht die Konkurrenzsituation aus, welche Anbieter gibt es zudem noch weltweit(es sollen max 5 sein)? -Mir persönlich fallen da nur noch "American Superconductor" und die bergische "Accel" ein.



Einige Fragen können Sie wahrscheinlich nicht beantworten, dennoch würde ich mich auf eine Antwort Ihrerseits sehr freuen.



Mit freundlichen Grüssen

Sehr geehrter Herr XXX,

Wir können Ihnen nur einige Fragen beantworten:

-Silberanteil ca. 65%%
-Silber ist bei höheren Temperaturen Sauerstoffdurchlässig
-HTS heisst Hochtemperatur-Supraleiter; dieser wird als Draht, daher HTS-Draht gefertigt
- Silber kann nicht ersetzt werden; es gibt aber Überlegungen zur Herstellung alternativer Materialien ohne Silber
- ja. Zum Teil heute schon geringeres Investment bei Generatoren/Kabeln
- keine Aussage
- Accel stellt keine HTS-Drähte her. Die weltweiten Hersteller sind: Trithor, AMSC, EAS, Sumitomo und InnoST.


Mit freundlichen Grüssen

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A group of U.S. senators have introduced two bills meant to prevent a repeat of August`s catastrophic power blackout and to bar electricity trading schemes used by bankrupt Enron Corp., which provides one of the bill`s namesakes.

A broad energy bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last year contains provisions meant to boost electric power grid reliability.

However, the legislation -- with an estimated $31 billion in incentives to boost energy production -- is stalled in the Senate due to a dispute over who should pay to clean up water pollution from a gasoline additive. Republican leaders have pledged to revive the bill this year, but appear to be three votes short of overcoming a filibuster in the Senate.

Returning from a recess this week, Senate Democrats this week have introduced stand-alone legislation.

"We need to act now so that rules can be developed and put in place before the summer to help prevent another devastating blackout from occurring," said New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.

A bill offered by Clinton, fellow Democrats Maria Cantwell of Washington and Russell Feingold of Wisconsin and independent James Jeffords of Vermont, would give the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) the power to set mandatory grid reliability standards.

Separate legislation sponsored by Cantwell, Feingold and Jeffords is named the Electricity Needs Rules and Oversight Now bill -- or the ENRON Act for short.

The plan would require FERC to ban trading strategies made notorious by bankrupt energy trader Enron Corp. with names like "Death Star" and "Fat Boy," which are blamed on running up energy prices in western states. The agency in June stripped Enron of its trading privileges after finding the company attempted to manipulate electricity prices.

Republicans have stoutly resisted any suggestion that the massive energy bill could be split apart.

President Bush Thursday reiterated his call for Congress to pass the energy bill, which the administration has counted among its highest priorities.

Although the energy bill is stuck in the Senate, "We`re going to unstick it," Bush told an audience in Roswell, New Mexico, on Thursday. "We need an energy bill that makes sure our electricity system works well," Bush said.

FERC Chairman Pat Wood has said he supports stand-alone reliability rules as a last resort, only if Congress fails to pass wide-sweeping legislation.

American Superconductor`s Nanotechnology Breakthrough Significantly Increases Performance of Superconductor Wire
Monday January 26, 7:30 am ET
Company Files for Patent on Proprietary New Nanodot Technology; Nanotech-Based Manufacturing Process Delivers 30% Higher Current Carrying Capability in Second Generation High Temperature Superconductor Wire


WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Superconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: AMSC - News), a leading electricity solutions company, announced today that it has successfully developed and filed a patent application for a nanotechnology-based manufacturing technique that delivers an immediate 30% increase in the electric current-carrying capability of the company`s second generation (2G) high temperature superconductor (HTS) wire. This new nanotechnology process leverages AMSC`s proprietary metal-organic chemical processing methodology by producing a dispersion of "nanodots" throughout the superconductor coating of the company`s 2G HTS wire. Nanodots are ultra-small particles of inorganic materials typically less than 100 atoms across. AMSC`s 2G HTS wire is being designed as a form-fit-function replacement for today`s commercial first generation (1G) HTS wire, but at two to five times lower manufacturing cost, which is expected to further expand the market for HTS applications.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020702/AMSCLOGO )
"We have been selling 2G HTS wire in up to 10-meter lengths to select customers around the world and over the next few months we expect to incorporate nanodots into this wire," said Dave Paratore, senior vice president and general manager of AMSC Wires. "The 2G pilot manufacturing plant that we plan to start building at the end of this year will be based upon our nine years of 2G wire research and development. Introducing nanotechnology capabilities into this manufacturing process will help ensure our continued global leadership position in HTS wire."

Paratore added that AMSC remains on track with its plan to produce 2G HTS wire in commercial volumes in three to four years.

Nanodots significantly increase the flow of electrical current through 2G HTS wire by immobilizing magnetic lines of flux in the superconductor.

To see a micrographic image of nanodots and learn more about the nanotechnologies used in the production of AMSC`s 2G HTS wire, please visit http://www.amsuper.com/4-5.pdf.

"Based on related laboratory-scale, proof-of-concept work carried out by our research colleagues at the Air Force Research Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory, it is quite clear that by optimizing the size, dispersion and composition of nanodots we can expect to at least double the electrical current flow in 2G wire at the operating temperatures and magnetic fields associated with commercial superconductor applications," said Alex Malozemoff, chief technical officer at American Superconductor.

Nanotechnology Playing Important Role In Other 2G HTS Developments AMSC is also using another nanotechnology technique in its 2G HTS wire production -- a nanotech surface treatment -- first developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and then transferred through a cooperative research agreement to AMSC. The nanotech surface treatment, which creates a self- assembled superlattice of sulfur atoms, helps ensure very high quality buffer layers on the metal alloy surfaces that provide the foundation for AMSC`s 2G HTS wires.

"We have taken Oak Ridge`s nanotech surface treatment from the lab to the next level -- using it to create buffer layers in a reproducible, reel-to- reel, wire production process," said Malozemoff. "We have repeatedly made 10- meter lengths of 2G wire utilizing this surface treatment and are now ready to take this particular processing step to the pilot manufacturing stage."

AMSC: HTS mit 30% mehr Leistung

AMERICAN SEMICONDUCTOR (Nasdaq: AMSC) hat sich einen Herstellungsprozeß patentieren lassen, mit dem Hochtemperatur-Supraleiter (HTS) mit 30% höherer Übertragungsleistung möglich sind. Die neuen HTS gehören zur 2. Supraleiter-Generation des Unternehmens.

Der neue Prozeß basiert auf Nanotechnologie und verhilft der metall-organisch, chemischen Prozeßmethodik durch Herstellung einer Dispersion von Nanopunkten ("Nanodots") durch supraleitende Beschichtung der 2G HTS-Drähte der Firma zum Durchbruch.
Die "Nanodots" sind ultrakleine Partikel aus anorganischen Materialien, die typischerweise kleiner 100 Atome sind. Die HTS-Drähte der 2. Generation von AMSC sollen die kommerziellen HTS der 1. Generation ersetzen, wobei sie zwei bis fünf mal weniger in der Herstellung kosten.
Das Unternehmen wird Ende das Jahres mit dem Bau der Fertigungsanlage beginnen und dann 9 Jahre intensiver 2G-Forschung in eine kommerzielle Produktion umsetzen. Nach Aussage des Senior-Vizepräsidenten, Dave Paratore, will AMSC weiterhin in drei bis vier Jahren in kommerziellen Größenordnungen produzieren.

AMSC benutzt auch ein Verfahren, was am "Oak Ridge National Laboratory" entwickelt wurde. Eine Oberflächenbehandlung, die ein selbstorganisierendes Supergitter aus Schwefel-Atomen erzeugt und so hochqualitative Pufferschichten auf den Metalloberflächen gewährleistet. Damit wurden 10 Meter lange 2G-Drähte hergestellt. Das Verfahren kann jetzt in der Pilotanlage eingesetzt werden.
AMSC wurde 1987 gegründet. Eine strategische Zusammenarbeit existiert u.a. mit PIRELLI, ABB, GE, NORTHROP und ALSTOM.
