Just the first multiple will do me nicely then I'll be able to boot the kids out into their mortgage-free flat - what a pleasant prospect!

"In the 10p days when we dared to speculate that the share price could reach £1, now we are thinking multiples of £10 targets if all goes well."

I suspect that give it six months or a year and we might be thinking in multiples of £100 targets - eventually, IF all goes well (and no takeover)...

Is graphene the answer to India’s air and water pollution woes?
India alone is home to 13 of the 20 most polluted cities worldwide.
Graphene has emerged as one of the best solutions for the energy and filtration-related needs.
Scientists have discovered the ability of graphene to remove pesticide from water,


While clean air and water are two basic amenities for the existence and wellbeing of humankind, the increasingly globalised planet today faces an acute problem of large scale pollution of air and water (as well as other natural resources).
This global problem has reached epidemic proportions in recent times; so much so, it is nearly impossible for industries and governments to ignore the issue anymore.
The Problem Statement
According to statistics from the World Health Organization, more than 92 per cent of the global population currently lives in areas where levels of air pollution have exceeded the standardised safety limits.
On the other hand, India alone is home to 13 of the 20 most polluted cities worldwide, it has been documented in recent past by WHO. Deaths caused by air pollution in our country increased by almost 150 percent between 1990 and 2015. Approximately 1.2 million deaths taking place in India every year are directly related to air pollution, reveals a Greenpeace India Report released in 2017.
To add to the dangers of ambient air pollution, biomass and crop residue burning, adulteration of fuel, automobile and industrial emissions, are few factors making the scenario worse, and leading to smog-like catastrophic environmental conditions in and around our cities.
While the panacea of air pollution has been making big headlines in recent times, the crises of water pollution can be nowhere deemed less serious. As per data from UNESCO, in the developing nations of the world, over 80 percent of sewage is discharged in an untreated manner, hence leading to pollution in the rivers, lakes, and so on. Untreated industrial effluents and sewage dumped into the water bodies have emerged as a growing menace for both our terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
For instance, in water-intensive industries like the textile industry, which requires input of a wide range of chemicals during the dyeing process, untreated wastewater can lead to severe repercussions to the environment as well as pose serious health hazards.
An assessment by international sanitation and hygiene organisation WaterAid shows that an alarming proportion of 80 percent of India's surface water lies in a polluted state.
As toxic organic wastes continue to choke our rivers (including Ganga and Yamuna) and coastal areas, runoffs from agriculture and factories also contribute to the problem, resultantly adding to the burden of vector-borne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, jaundice, and so on.
The (Potential) Solution Statement
As the world goes successively green and governments across the globe promote sustainability and clean energy, graphene-based industries are expected to benefit highly in the near future, if not the most. This is because—graphene due to its high surface area and unique electronic properties has emerged as one of the best solutions for the energy and filtration-related needs of the 21st century.
One of the many interesting properties of graphene is its ability to stop liquids, apart from water, from passing through; thus it can keep two substances apart from each other pretty successfully. This earns the “wonder material” a special place in the filtration and ultra-filtration sector. Thus, it can be developed to make the water filtration systems, desalination systems, etc. more efficient and economical.
Recent reports suggest that graphene-based sensors developed by researchers at University at Southampton are able to detect CO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOC) inside buildings and household interiors with significantly low power usage. Few years ago, scientists at IIT-Madras had discovered the remarkable ability of graphene to remove pesticide from water in large quantities. And now, a newly-invented grapheme variant has turned heavily polluted water in Sydney Harbour drinkable in one single step, claim researchers at Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO).
Future Forward
Rampant ecological imbalance caused due to urbanisation and multi-faceted pollution has led to a dire need for improved filtration technologies for the purification of air and water in our country.
Powered with nanotechnology and backed by quality scientific research, graphene offers several routes to improve several environmental challenges facing India at the moment.
Graphene-based technologies and derivatives can not only find novel uses in purification of air and water, but also in sensing and detection of contaminants, and may even shape disinfection and/or pollution prevention methodologies in the coming years.
The day is not far when graphene will emerge as a comprehensive solution to India’s water and air pollution woes, and may even give tough competition to the traditional RO and UV technologies. But to realise this, we need to constantly experiment and innovate with the catalysis, absorption, and micro-channelling properties of graphene-based materials for new age filtration and purification.

Good post fest

Good luck to you ff.

I've now realised that the herd aren't coming.... they came, and went, when the share was around 20p to 60p.The likes of Stigologist. They steamed in, bought £500 worth, posted about unicorns... and then disappeared around 70p.They won't come now, they don't like shares priced over a quid.This is serious investing now, for those who are looking to make a sustainable future for their family and friends.For those who'd like to be involved in something that will make a positive impact on the world, and for those they care about.This is not for the vast majority of ADVFN nut jobs, they came, had a sniff, but have missed the boat I'm afraid.

Just finished after a 17 hour day and am thinking fortune favours the brave, hats off to all you guys here that have stuck and continue to stay the distance, your my kind of ppl, no golf day or AGM for me I’m afraid but il be with u in spirit

Oh yes Superg, the Mclaren days, 29th November 2016 RNS “Significant Graphene Order” which led up to the launch of the watch and that joint presentation (I cant find the link to the launch video does anyone have it). In the 10p days when we dared to speculate that the share price could reach £1, now we are thinking multiples of £10 targets if all goes well. It is incredible to see how far VRS have come since them. Its even more incredible for us to still be below the radar of the thundering herd. The feeling is that could change in the blink of an eye in the not too distant future, with shares held tightly we could see some spectacular rises. The journey is only just beginning.

[diversification] 31/8/2018 22:32

September = £5

[superg1] 31/8/2018 22:29

What have we been saying for a long time?

I noted the graphene watch chat but hadn't realised it's a current topic in the media.

Apologies if already posted. Case closed Mclaren used Nanene which back then was known as XT.

The graphene used was the XT grade purchased from 2-DTech Graphene, Manchester, UK and used as received. The epoxy resin and hardener employed were NTPT ThinPregTM

Anyone wish to discuss the future of electric vehicles with Steve Cropley

Thought it may be of interest for petrol heads with an interest in EV batteries ;-0

From a LTH petrol head :-)

wow so that’s August out of the way. who’s ready for September. Which will be announced first. China,major order, iso,
Neall has hinted China news of some sort is close hense watch peters Twitter. He also worked last weekend on iso. And one or more of those collaborations must be very close. And I wonder how much graphinks is being used in India. September could be Transformational and it starts on Monday . Thank you to all the posters on here.i found Versarien one day when reading a post by forest Fred on another share on lse. He sounded like a level headed guy. Anyway he led me to you lot last year and I feel very fortunate that he did. So thank you all for the great posts even rainbows. Because it’s good to laugh. Good night all

Another positive day and looking solid.

At a hotel near Birmingham airport ready for flight to Dusseldorf and then onto Cologne for an exhibition.

I took the M6 toll road and the price has gone up to £6.40!

Midlander's being hammered again. However I was not paying so can not grumble.

Crikey,that is over 4 VRS shares worth.

Have a great day at the golf. I will not be back in time.

I would not be surprised if there was a nice RNS before Wednesday.

[rheumking] 31/8/2018 19:55

Thanks for the book tips guys looks like some reading to be done
And Fest thanks for the tip have you passed it on to Warren Buffet !
Have a good weekend all the fun starts again on Monday

Our Woodle, Boswell (RIP the-great-golf-course-in-the-sky) was excellent at golf ball retrieval. No training - he just got it without explaining; and got us free entry walking across the local course - and received a daily bone from the club.

Thread creep, for those who follow Woman's Hour on BBC Rad 4 (who doesn't?)- the story last week about that young lady who started golf to "keep up" with her partner, and got 3 hole-in-one's her first day. out...was it b/s? She admitted it was expensive back at the club-house....the stats for hole-in-one's were interesting.

[superg1] 31/8/2018 19:20

I've got a golf ball that can be tracked Ax.

Drive off from the tee and home in on it when it goes into the rough. Brilliant, some ask me where did I buy it. I didn't I found it :-).

Joking aside some nutcase has now come up with exactly that £25 per ball FFFFFFF...... how much?

Yes but you won't lose it.

Great idea. I assume they don't play golf.

At £25 I suppose it's worth the pain of cuts and grazes heading into the Belize type jungle just off the left hand fairway. Worse still down Forest of Dean way as you risk being eaten by the wild boar or that bear as well as the deep wounds and limbs severed from the undergrowth.

Or something they didn't think of.

Yes tracked it and indicating it's about 20 feet into yonder lake.

Anything over a quid a ball has golf guys sweating.

As an example XG say average sale per customer are way up, which is the BS baffles brains attempt.

Take out Callaway who were not around last year and sales for the other customers has dropped 33`% .

XG for those that don't know have been producing and selling graphene for 10 years. Big claims of 1200+ cumulative customers (note cumulative) in 47 countries.

Average sales per customer this year up to 11,345 a big jump. Well stats are great until you dig into them. 84% was one customer.

A break down on the maths they had 153 customers who purchased product from them.
So the average they spent was $1,816.

I could go on all day. I've read the XG BS over and over again in the last couple of years and engaged the management team on the topic.

[axotyl] 31/8/2018 19:06

You can't kid us, Super. Good luck with your Bluetooth golf ball project....

Couple on twitter sold a few it appears at the end....Im just happy to see ATHs without an RNS!
Looking forward to next week :-)
