George Blomgren, Chief Scientist, Lion Cells Dr. George E. Blomgren evolved from a theoretical chemist into a battery expert, first by earning a B.S. in chemistry from Northwestern University in 1952 and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of Washington in 1956. After a post-doc at Columbia University, he began a 41 -year career with Union Carbide Corp. which evolved into the Eveready Battery Co. His early work with UCC involved statistical mechanical theories of liquids, electrolyte solutions, and molten salts. This led to a group leader position in the Battery Products Division in 1963 with a focus on the then-new lithium batteries. His work on electrolytes prepared the way in 1971 to filing the first patent on lithium liquid cathode batteries in which the liquid (e.g., thionyl chloride) serves as both the solvent for the electrolyte salt and the active cathode material. This dual role allows very high energy to be packed in the container, thus forming the highest energy primary battery in use today. His work also led to the lithium-ion disulfide battery, which the company developed into a commercial product, first as a button cell and then as an AA and AAA cell. His reward was the highest technical position at Eveready - Senior Technology Fellow. After retirement he started a new career consulting with companies around the world on battery technology and applications. He also has presented invited papers at many meetings in the U.S., Europe, and Asia to the delight of his wife Gerry, who is always ready to pack up and go with him. George was Associate Editor of the Journal of the Electrochemical Society, Chair of the ECS Battery Division, and adjunct professor at Carnegie Mellon universities. He continues as adjunct professor at Case Western Reserve University in the Department of Chemical Engineering. With the formation of the new company "Lion Cells, Inc.", George became a founder and the Chief Scientist in 2006.

Batteriser will probably use this as part of their "out"; Big Battery killing the Batteriser - it's perfect for them!
What if Batteroo changes the Batteriser to something else like Batteroo. Then there won't be any reason not to ship the devices. If that is the case, then using the Big Battery as an excuse will be invalid.
Why on earth would they want to ship anything?

Indeed. My comment was that they cannot use the Big Battery as an excuse not to ship the devices. They have to come up with something else as an excuse, something like the dog ate the schematics or the cat peed into the laptop.

Sure they can. Just watch them do it over the next few weeks...
"We were just loading the last pallet of Batterisers on the truck ready for shipping when this awful letter arrived. Unfortunately we can't ship the Batterisers as-is, and there's no money left to make another batch.
We're completely gutted at not being able to ship you your Batterisers but there's nothing we can do. We've been fighting off Big Battery since day one but they finally caught up with us.
Sorry, Bob R."
Rename the product DurexCell. It's a sleeve over a stick anyway.
Isn't "Durex" a brand of adhesive tape in Austria?
No, thats Tixo.
Durex have the same usage in Austria like in the rest of the world

ITYM Australia
Apparently it was, but is no longer.

Blomgren may have some chops in battery chemistry, but that doesn't mean anything in the Batteriser scheme of things - Batteroo don't make batteries, and have no means of changing the chemistry of a battery with a Batteriser attached.... Energiser, Duracell and others know how batteries work, and it doesn't have anything to do with boost converters. He's an old mate, being called in to 'legitimise' Bob's claims for the Batteriser.
Where there's smoke, there's usually a heat source - and it could be a Batteriser!
The constant shuffling of the "experts" is all one needs to know that the pandering to unwitting / half-wit investors continues unabated. The actual science is irrelevant as long as all the suits around the table smile and nod at the appropriate intervals in the PowerPoint presentation. How so few players can both do that and deliver four new products on time ...
... Oh yeah, that's right. They aren't.

I disagree. One of the chief arguments against the Batteriser stems from the depleted chemistry not being able to deliver the necessary power. Bringing in someone who has expertise in that area will allow them to
prostitute themselves attest to the capability of the chemistry. Sure it's BS, but the objective for any scam is to obfuscate the truth to as many suckers as possible.

OTOH,
if they ever shipped anything they would have no excuse for the performance to suck with discharged cells since they have a battery expert on board.

If they've been "fighting off big battery since day one"... why did they continue to make such ludacris claims all this time? I think we all see through Roohparvar's lies by now. There probably wasn't any pallet of Batterisers either.
Did they stop part-way through loading the truck when they decided to open their mail? I think not.EDIT:
That quote was a facetious invention of Fungus. It's not real.
Amended post as per above.
If they've been "fighting off big battery since day one"... why did they continue to make such ludacris claims all this time?
Because they're after venture capital.
As much money as possible.

But the astonishing thing is that it worked: until the likes of uBeam and Batteriser I at least thought that VCs actually would attempt and take note of any reasonable due diligence. Right now, their attitude to due diligence is pretty much the same as disgraced Fred the Shred had at the Royal Bank Of Scotland when he just bought anything: now that bank is essentially nationalised as it's majority owned by uk.gov as a result of his actions and almost complete lack of attention to due diligence in lieu of greed. Although at different scales in monetary terms, the parallels are quite disturbing.

Ahh... it sounded very Batteriser-like though! I've amended my post.
Hi group,
Remember back around reply #1953 a San Jose State University professor (Physics and Astronomy) called Kiumars
Parvin was talking up the Batteriser.
Well it turns out the attorney representing Batteroo in the trademark dispute with Energizer happens to be Pardees
Parvin.A coincidence, may be, but
www.Whitepages.com has a Kiumars Parvin and a Pardees Parvin at the same address.
I suspect that they might just be related.....

Well, it's not as if they aim to win, is it? Best outcome is for a deal to be made.
But who's betting any details of such a deal will be "confidential" - even if it's just a name change. Then they can spin any yarn they like.

I think this is the first occurrence of the name in this thread: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-751-how-to-debunk-a-product-%28the-batteriser%29/msg750496/#msg750496
WOW. Did you notice the word play!
"'We tested the Batteriser sleeve in our lab and we confirmed that the Batteriser taps into the 80 percent of energy that is usually thrown away.' Dr Kiumars Parvin"
Taps into the "80%" but it doesn't say how much of the "80%" it uses.
10 out of 10 for that part of the word play ... but somewhat of a fail on the latter part: "taps into the 80 percent of energy that is usually thrown away"
If I remember correctly, Dave's voltage tests on various bits of gear put the dropout level at around the 1.0V level - and when you look under the discharge curve (he scribbled on), the energy discarded is more like 8% than 80%.

The "usually gets thrown away" part is valid, because many people throw away batteries that haven't been full used. Not because the device didn't work any more, but because the device is no longer used or whatever. So he wormed his way around that one too.
