And twice as less heavy!
I am wondering if some version of this technology could be used in high radiation environments. If it could, it would be useful for satellites by protecting them against solar flares. Maybe even robots to service and repair the inside of a nuke power plant.
Gas batteries will also be a huge next step as it will make batteries a lot lighter. power to weight would be tremendous and they will charge a lot faster too.
Fun to ponder what unimaginable technologies and breakthroughs lie in the centuries ahead. We might be looked upon as we look at cave dwellers.
All well and good with the promising vastly increased charge cycle lifespan.
As to the fragility solution, did I miss field testing in trucks and such?
Paging Elon Musk, you might actually be able to build a car that can really go places.
Charging is ok but what is the load rate and the storage life? Those are more importany
I’m in the process of inventing a ‘perpetual motion gas powered battery’
The concept it that you fill the battery up with gasoline, creates runs an electricity producing output, which inturn turns the excess electricity into steam through a process of solid oxide electrolyser cells (http://www.cnet.com/news/miracle-tech-turns-water-into-fuel/), which gets funneled back into the battery through a process of electricity generation run by steam
I’ve gotta work out a few bugs, but stay tuned for the world’s first perpetual motion machine/perpetual energy production device to finally be a reality
But now if you cover them with manganese oxide and this gel then maybe you can't line up so many in the same space.
How big will the battery now be? Will it fill the entire trunk if you want to go a reasonable distance before recharge?
I have a lithium ion chainsaw. Needs electricity to charge it now, and the charge doesn’t last long.
And it still needs some trivity generated by either fission of fossil fuels to charge it...
I’ve been reading about battery breakthroughs for decades. Pretty close to zero ever make it to market.
