The author has done a great job of writing this detailed article.

Some people will think pumping but I tend to believe him.

I am waiting for this quarter and yearly result and business update

They had promised some news on commercialization before year end - we have only handful days left - most likely they missed it

Agree. Great potential.

This was a very good quarter - achieved big milestone - has developed clear commercialization path - more partners in defense area

The Conf call was very good - mgmt is very confident and clear

O/s shares including warrants - just 7.9 million

@$20 - the market cap will be just $160 million

@$40 - the mc will be $320 million

My view - Looking at the potential - by this time next year, I guess the market cap will cross $350 million (May be earlier)

Good progress news today - they are executing well. SP is reflecting the good news.

The fast-switching speed of B-TRAN™ solves the slow operating time and electrical arcing of traditional mechanical circuit breakers while also providing more than 50% lower conduction losses compared to solid-state circuit breakers utilizing conventional semiconductor power switches. These benefits position B-TRAN™ to potentially be an enabling technology for circuit breaker applications such as distributed direct current (DC) networks.”

The results were as expected but the Conf call was good

Company is sounding more and more confident - also it seems their German and other conference presentations raised more awareness and they got more enquiries for un-related applications.
In fact they mentioned about May be partnership for some market segment

I think we may see the 1st break out by end of 2022

I am feeling more optimistic that this can give good returns in 2 years.

The market cap has gone down to $52.5 million

This in my mind is a non-internet technology company and will have some serious impact on electrical grid and EV space.

With this and the earnings call update - I am becoming more confident that in 12 months - till Q1-2023 results, this company can go to $500 million market cap.

They talked about few EV co testing the products - if TSLA name comes out as one of the prospective customer - that news alone can trigger the price to 2-3 bagger from here.

I keep on accumulating in small chunks - it is like calculated gamble with known risks.

Hope they get it going commercially. Thanks for the summary.

The Conf call was good - seems a lot of interest in the product

- The product will have 25% premium over current products

- strong patent protection and long lead time for copying and creating competitive products

- the prospective customers demand is in large numbers

- the phase 2 POC with Govt will allow same product to commercial customers

- other govt agencies are also asking for similar POC

- focus for 2022 is to carry commercial sale

Overall feel good about this co and my investment

The technology appears to be impressive.

Finally some good news. The conceptual design phase I for department of energy is completed.

The fact that they are mentioning about applying for phase II to build 50 MW SSCB, means the phase I was successful.

Hope this a good turning point for a company


————-

These designs demonstrate the ability of B-TRAN™ switch modules to interrupt AC power and confirm the efficiency and speed of B-TRAN™ devices in AC operation. The B-TRAN™-based SSCB is expected to limit fault energy by orders of magnitude compared to conventional mechanical circuit breakers.

We look forward to moving to the next step with DTI, submission of a Phase II proposal to build and demonstrate a 50 MW, 13.8 kV AC SSCB, and are excited about B-TRAN™’s potential to revolutionize the SSCB market in both direct and alternating current applications.”

Seems company proved me wrong. Already down big time

I hope so. Great potential yet very cheap.

My predictions -

- 2022 will be IPWR year
- they will announce few good news in terms of navy, army projec progress and names of collaborators
- the current market cap is $71 million - by end of 2022, the market cap will cross $300 million at least once (4 bagger)
- this will become a takeover target by end of 2022 by likes of Siemens, ABB

People should listen to presentation and Q&A - the management is very clear and confident.

The Q&A is good and as an answer to one question, they mention Toyota - seems they did not want to give any names.
CEO mentions Japanese companies fee times.

https://www.idealpower.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/BTRAN-Circuit-Breaker-Whitepaper-11-02-21.pdf

Very nice white paper - now we have to wait for 1st phase completion.
That will give them phase Ii funding but will bring major visibility.

What I like about this company is unique patented technology and very low market cap $ 90 million. In no time it will become 2-3 bagger once the results are out and market realizes the potential

Less loss, smaller device, sounds like a potential commercial success. Does someone in this field want to comment on the significance, marketability, and time it takes to get a commercial product?

Ideal Power Signs B-TRAN(TM) Sampling Agreement for Electric Vehicle Charging Application
8:30 am ET July 27, 2021 (Globe Newswire)
Ideal Power Inc. (Nasdaq: IPWR), pioneering the development and commercialization of highly efficient and broadly patented B-TRAN(TM) bi-directional power switches, today announced that an electric vehicle (EV) charger provider will be sampling B-TRAN(TM) devices for its innovative portable and modular EV charging system currently under development. This represents Ideal Power's second sampling agreement in the EV space and its first in the 2.1 million unit global EV charging station market. This market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 47% to 30.8 million units by the end of 2027 as governments phase out fossil fuel vehicles from the market and make infrastructure investments to meet the growing demand for EV charging stations to support the adoption of EVs.

The EV charging provider's offering will combine a DC fast charger with a swappable battery system and a modular design to allow for scaling of the solution, and targets both on-demand fast charging and roadside assistance to eliminate charging anxiety. EV charging applications can benefit from the advantages that B-TRAN(TM) has to offer over conventional IGBT switches; greater efficiency, bi-directionality, smaller size and reduced thermal management. However, these features are critically important to mobile EV charging systems with battery storage.

"We are seeing a variety of innovative products and business models to support the buildout of the EV charging infrastructure and their need for smaller, lower operating cost solutions," stated Dan Brdar, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ideal Power. "We look forward to collaborating with several EV charging companies that want to take advantage of the benefits of B-TRAN(TM), including its inherent bi-directionality, for their mobile, stationary, vehicle-to-grid enabled and buffer storage and/or solar paired EV charging solutions."

B-TRAN(TM)'s key benefit of improved efficiency is expected to result in in faster EV charging, smaller thermal management systems and OEM solutions, lower costs to consumers and higher margins for fast charger owners. Additionally, if EV charging systems are paired with buffer storage, the round-trip charge efficiency improvement is even more significant, potentially further reducing charging cost as time of use and/or peak damage charges from the local utility company, which may represent up to 50% of the electricity bill for a commercial installation, can be mitigated.

Ideal Power's patented semiconductor power switch, the Bi-directional Bipolar Junction Transistor, or B-TRAN(TM), reduces power losses by 50% or more over conventional power switches, depending on the application. B-TRAN(TM)'s higher efficiency results in less heat being generated and therefore significantly lower thermal management requirements, requiring significantly smaller surface area to dissipate heat and giving rise to potentially smaller OEM products. B-TRAN(TM) offers the industry's only symmetric bi-directional operation, reducing the number of components required for application by 75% as compared to a conventional bi-directional switch utilizing IGBTs and diodes. This highly efficient and unique symmetric operation provides a strong competitive advantage in bi-directional applications, which are growing rapidly as transportation electrifies and power generation shifts to renewable energy coupled with energy storage.

“We are excited to make the first of what we expect to be several announcements for the evaluation and potential adoption of B-TRAN™ for electric vehicle applications,” stated Dan Brdar, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ideal Power. “Based on our discussions with large global automobile manufacturers and their Tier 1 suppliers, we believe B-TRAN™ can have a meaningful impact on the drivetrain efficiency and range of electric vehicles and potentially enable more economic and efficient new drivetrain architectures. As B-TRAN™ can offer substantial performance improvements over conventional power semiconductors in applications across many sectors, we are also engaged in ongoing engineering sampling discussions with power equipment manufacturers, both large and small, in renewable energy, data centers and other industrial and utility applications.”

This is the next big one to hit like KOS*S.

900,000 float

How you do dat!!!
Pretty awesome timing

Any chance it closes the gap @ 11.20??
TIA

Go time

On watch again. Chart is primed.

Call yesterday was the same broken record as the past few years. Management is utterly incapable of capitalizing on their B-TRAN tech.. they have fumbled for too long (and outright failed with PPSA in the past, forced to sell it in a fire-sale to keep the lights on and try again with B-TRAN. They are back to getting funding from government projects, just as they did in the beginning. They all come to nothing.

I still hold shares, but only a token amount. Will continue to follow them but at this point I have expect they'll only realize a small fraction of the potential.

Anyone here still bullish, or have any insight to share?

$IPWR This is a very simple overview of what is the next move for IPWR.

REVERSE SPLIT -> As you can see, IPWR had a reverse split on 20 AUG 2019. A reverse split is mostly an accounting trick that company isn't any more valuable than it was before the reverse split. Typically, reverse splits are done from a position of weakness which significantly reduces the share price and threatens the company's viability as an exchange traded stock.

RESISTANCE -> IPWR has shown a very strong roof which prevents the price from going up. Resistance in technical analysis is a price level that a rising stock can’t seem to overcome.

DOWN TREND -> It also has started a very strong downtrend, the same pattern on Sep-Aug 2019.

RSI OVERBOUGHT -> the implication is that buying has pushed the price too far up and a reaction, called a price pullback, is expected.

By keeping all these facts in mind, it is your time to make a logical (NOT emotional) decision.

Wish you all the best in trading

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. WTF? This is the last company I invest in with amazing tech but clowns running the company. I see the patterns so easily now (and I saw it here too), but I was seduced by the amazing IP, the size of market, and the potential, but without a strong management team, good tech goes nowhere. Always.

They utterly failed to commercialize their innovative PPSA technology, worth hundreds of millions in the right hands, and with BTRAN seem to be clinging to the government/military relationships they had when they started the business. The have the next transistor. If positioned correctly, shipped units of this device should number in the billions over the next decade. Management lacks the experience, connections, or resolve to market properly and sell it. Brdar was CEO before Bell, now back at the helm why? Only because Lon is getting old. How about some fresh blood? Bring in some pedigree and make something out of this could-be-amazing-but-never-seems-to-progress company.

I'm so far in the red on my position that I won't bother selling at all... this is either gonna be a $bn company in 5 years, or bankrupt with the IP sold for a song.

Very underwhelming conf call just now. More blah blah about commercial potential and how they're now an "asset light" company (they have always said that).

They are still only in a "prototype" phase of the B-TRAN, and seeking partnerships with Universities and government funds/grants for R&D.

In other words, there is still zero commercial traction. Not even one LOI.. just "customer sampling".

In their own words, commercialization is "time consuming" as most customers will want something proven. Initial revenues will likely be government funding and partnerships.

Looks like this stock is going nowhere for at least 6-12 more months.

Why this being walked down on low volume

Its confirmed but I dont know when

When is the RS

They announced RS

loaded some .54 cheapies for the next $1 run :)

Are you still in this play ...you think this is a good entry at .54 or stay away?

Yup! Lost $400 here, That what trading is all about, I had $1000 in my hands 5 min B4 closing when it spike to 1.85 But did not take profits from .72 entry

Ouch ..

Bubble boy may be today’s pick lol

MMS stacking the ask right on top of the bid. Could be a long day.

ClayTrader already doomed it to .50 so there will be a bailout this AM
