3. What does the past tell us about our future?

4. “Every forty years a new generation is formed through birth and immigration.” This has not changed in 600 years. Sources: ”Generations” by Strauss & Howe (Morrow, 1992) “The Fourth Turning” by Strauss & Howe (Broadway, 1997)

5. “Every eighty years, or every two generations, we see an economic and technological revolution. This occurs because generations swing back and forth between being more individualistic and being more conformist”. Source: “The Roaring 2000’s” by Harry Dent (Simon & Schuster, 1998)

6. “The individualistic generations are entrepreneurial and bring in radical new social trends and technologies, challenging the old status quo just as it is maturing and losing productivity.” Source: “The Roaring 2000’s” by Harry Dent (Simon & Schuster, 1998)

7. “The conformist generation that follows, being more systematic and managerial, builds the new emerging companies and technologies into mass-market institutions.” Source: “The Roaring 2000’s” by Harry Dent (Simon & Schuster, 1998)

8. “The last economic revolution revolved around cars, electricity, phones, and most of today’s Fortune 500 industries.” Source: “The Roaring 2000’s” by Harry Dent (Simon & Schuster, 1998)

9. The Last Technological Revolution was Launched by Henry Ford’s Model T Assembly Line

10. The Catalysts for the Current Technological Revolution were Computers and the Internet

11. How can we determine who the next Fortune 500 companies will be, which companies will remain and how will the their technologies enter the marketplace?

13. The Introduction of the Automobile Followed This S-curve Prinicipal

15. It has been roughly eighty years since fossil fuel powered cars reached the 90% adoption mark.

17. By 2015 Hybrid and Battery Electric Vehicles will Reach the 10% Market Adoption Rate

18. 15 Years

19. Hybrid Electric Vehicles Reached a 2.7% Market Share in 2009. It Took 8 Years to Do So.

20. 8 Years

21. Electric Vehicles are Expected to Reach 10% Market Adoption by 2020.

22. 10 Years

23. Our Business is Advanced Technology Automotive Systems VS Technology is focused on three core technologies; Switched Reluctance Motor drive systems, Nickel Zinc Batteries and Composite Material Structures that augment the first two areas which serve the growing needs of the new global automotive industry. 22 Advanced Composites Switched Reluctance Drives Nickel Zinc Batteries

24. VST Advanced Composites 15 Years Experience Proprietary Molding Processes Multiple Vehicle Programs OEM Supplier Proven Structures Cost Effective Manufacturing

25. VST Switched Reluctance Drives Ideal Motor Technology No Magnets High Efficiency Low Cost Fault Tolerant High Starting Torque High RPM Capable High Temperature

26. Why Switched Reluctance? Permanent Magnets in Brushless DC Motors are Comprised of Rare Earth Minerals Which are 97% Controlled by China. AC Induction Motors Do Not Use Magnets But are 5-10% Less Efficient than Switched Reluctance Motors.

27. VST Nickel Zinc Batteries Lead Acid is heavy. NiMH is less power dense. NiMH is more costly. Lithium is expensive. Lithium is limited. NiZn is abundant. NiZn is low cost. NiZn is the path to ZnAir. NiZn is completely green. 1200 Cycles 100% DOD

28. Why Nickel Zinc? OEM Lithium Ion battery packs currently cost $650/kWh. Nissan has stated that by 2015 they will have broken the $500/kWh for a Lithium Ion battery pack. It is generally accepted that a battery pack that cost $400/kWh is on par with the cost of an engine and associated emission controls. A VST Nickel Zinc battery pack would cost around $250/kWh and not be prone to thermal issues, supply issues and toxicity issues.
