Publisher’s Note: The BBC calls it a “Miracle Material.” We found a mine in Ontario with over $3.37 billion worth of the stuff. The stock is undervalued by 30x. Today is the last day to sign up for our free seminar on the situation. It goes live tomorrow.
Early in 2011, I offered you a list of projections.
Not of short-term predictions for where the Dow would be or where oil would be trading by year’s end, but of long-term, paradigm-shifting projections.
It’s been 14 months, and already some of them are coming true…
When Batteries Breathe
Here’s what I told you about energy storage:
In the next five years, IBM believes “scientific advances in transistors and battery technology will allow your devices to last about 10 times longer than they do today” by using “the air we breathe to react with energy-dense metal.”
What’s more, the tech firm thinks by re-engineering the transistor, “we might be able to lose the battery altogether in some devices like mobile phones or e-readers.”
The main point here — one I’ve touched on before — is that we’re in for a massive battery transition. And not just for powering devices…
We’ll be using batteries to power cars and cities as well.
Extending the ranges of hybrid and electric vehicles and storing energy will create a $600 billion market over the next decade.
In the same article, I told you waste heat would soon be used to heat water and produce energy.
All of these things are happening, thanks to the discovery of a brand-new “miracle material.”
Just This Week…
Two very important announcements about this material were made.
UCLA announced it pretreated a standard DVD with the material, then used a readily-available label printing drive to laser inscribe components for a supercapacitor.
In other words, this new material allows you to print some of the fastest batteries ever made right onto a DVD — just like Disney prints Buzz Lightyear on a DVD of Toy Story.
The lead researcher says these supercapacitors can “store as much charge as conventional batteries, but can be charged and discharged a hundred to a thousand times faster.”
They can also hold much more energy than their predecessors.
What does it mean for you?
Smartphones that don’t even have batteries — and only need to be plugged in for seconds a week; solar and wind solutions that are economically viable because energy storage is so fast and cheap; the elimination of “range anxiety” for electric cars…
And likely one of the best investment opportunities you’ll see in years.
10,000 Times More Energy than Oil
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is holding its seventh annual Energy Conference this week.
Many ideas were shared, but I want to show you just one, from Power Engineering Professor Jeffrey Grossman.
Here’s the write-up from MIT.edu:
He and his team have found a novel material that can store energy indefinitely by changing the configuration of its molecules. A block of the material could be “charged” by heating it with solar power and then discharged on demand by applying a small input of heat or electricity.
Grossman pointed out that in principle, while carbon-based fossil fuels pack a big energy punch in a small package, they are far from the ultimate way of harnessing carbon’s potential: In fact, thin-film solar cells made from [this material] could produce 10,000 times more energy from a given amount of carbon, he said.

It’s not that far off.
Just this month, researchers from Hong Kong Polytechnic University published a paper about this new material, claiming they used it to turn ambient heat into electrical current.
That means your phone can charge with the heat from your pocket.
It means your house could be powered by the sun’s heat — not from the light in its rays.
And again, it means one of the biggest investment stories you’ll likely ever see.
It’s all happening at lightning speed, so I want to make sure you have all the information you need to profit as soon as possible…
That’s why I’m hosting a live seminar about it tomorrow night for free.
Today is the last day to sign up, so make sure you do so now by entering your email address here.
You’ll get a link to the seminar tomorrow evening in your inbox.
