Growth continues to be driven by the robust ag market, which pushed up the revenue contribution ...

Axial Vector Energy (AXVC.PK), based out of Portland, is a company that owns, develops, and licenses advanced internal combustion engine and power generator technologies. Axial has a wide variety of technology that can be utilized in unlimited military, industrial, and commercial applications. The company’s electric motors are ideal for residential users.

Basically, an electric motor consists of a generator with a shaft that rotates along with an external electricity source. A 100 kilowatt generator can be turned into a 133 horsepower electric motor, which is actually too powerful for most typical applications; while a 375-watt generator that can be turned into a ½ horsepower electric motor is too small for most generator applications.

Axial produces a linear drive that contains two opposing pistons for each cylinder. The use of opposing pistons allows each cylinder to move in a smooth linear motion that uniformly distributes

Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTI), created by ITN Energy Systems in 2005 to develop and produce state-of-the-art thin film photovoltaic (PV) modules, has taken a big step toward commercial production. Orders for the building and delivery of production tooling and equipment have now been made, with manufacturing equipment to be in place by the third quarter of 2009. The equipment will be used for layer deposition, encapsulation, and testing, providing an initial 30 MW production capacity for the company’s new manufacturing facility now being completed in Thornton, Colorado.

The exciting thing about Ascent is that its solar modules are more easily integrated into standard building materials, though also applicable to space, consumer, and large scale power applications. Once in production at the new facility, the product will use a proprietary laser patterned cell integration process, eliminating time intensive cell-to-cell connection operations required with other technologies. The product comes out in
