part of the challenge for all new businesses is the general cycle Australia is currently in, essentially, we are in a bear market, one of the only countries to survive (+tive GDP + growth) during the GFC yet we are still well below the altime high in the $XJO, so the belief (and risk) run much lower from a speculative liquidity input perspective and industries with unproven income are more likely to get stagged on new releases than used as investment vehicles, keeping in mind that it's the investment pov that supports the bid (no one sells, no one wants to sell)
then it's important as a small holder to know your time-frame and understand the market you are currently in
and if all the above is true, as Winston Churchill once said "if youre going thru **** just keep going" and that the general market is in a sideways to donwwards meander, clearly, these things eventually find the upswing, the question remains who has the cognitive and emotive logic to hang in
if you've gotten this far in this post then likely youre an investor....in a provable idea
are you aware of similar product to ours locally that is racing away in the current business cycle?....nope!
with that above thinking I suggest you look into logical ideas, additional to the data you have, you review, make them solid
as the product is essentially a single target (currently) think about the extent of scalability, essentially, exponential in application, if you want to dream bigtime, think, using as a powersource on another planet.....but i digress...where the product moves beyond being a single-purpose energy supplier is when we look to work alongside other industries and at that point the horizon widens considerably...what is the scope of partnership?
this is part of the challenge for the company in attracting investment as the prospective investors cannot concisely value the company or the product ....yet .....
so given there's limited access to all the numbers and some of that is due to current product testing underway a good idea is to focus on application
puting aside the global-warming-environmental-must-haves for a moment, that is, if we argued that this is as much a fashion as it was in the 1970's and is going to dissipate thus losing it's own momentum for industry and funding, then we must consider real drivers of value for our product, consider ideas such as sea farms in the middle of desert areas, fish farms with self generating power, build an odd-shaped wheel with a cupla small Proteans in the same pool, one supplies the energy to drive the wheel that produces disruptive wave patterns, that intern recirculate motion to the Proteans, with the excess going into storage, 24/7 ....that farm fish could step upto multi-floored green food farming for a whole community new cities spring up on the back of that power supply, clean water, fresh fish, vegetables....
gotta a big bucket of water and WEC? start your own community!
recycling of water is still wasteful mostly due to cabling and piping over long distances, whereas small scale WEC's could open huge opportunities for farmers and isolated communities ....eventually, I suspect, SHE is going to be seeking partners in these huge ventures and while such ventures are hard to value now, the growth that that allows for should be considered
as has been suggested on this chat, power for ships at sea, even docked in port, is a huge market ....oh, yes
one step further, outrageously further, small WEC's in cars....think about, small enclosed tank, fraction the weight of all the current batteries, stop/start/slowing/speed-up/cornering ....reduce the need for batteries....you get it, right?
so, going back to the global warming thing, let's say it is so, let's say we need 24/7 power supply from non-fossil industries .....and how big are those generational markets? We'll take a slice of that pie, thankyou!
there are needs everywhere for our product ....the question we can answer without the numbers, is, what application would make SHE become a generational player ....what would make someone of the smarts of Patrick Moore think we have an amazing product, while it would be nice to know someone of his standing supports WEC's you can be pretty sure it's be on the basic of knowledge about its application
so, thinking globally alloud, going back to the WEC's in that fish farm, think of a similar set-up in/on most high-rise buildings, reducing the need for power cabling to the buildings, a huge market,
all eventualies, self-sufficiency is a resurgent idea for the right logic and economics ....
my guess is that our edge going to market with (1) scalability that competitors cannot match in (2) speed of product placement and (3) cost of production
in my humble opinion ......what's yours ?
