The Israelis bless the world again. I'm sure Tesla will be talking with them shortly if not already.

“The big disadvantage of aluminum-air batteries is that they don’t last. The aluminum turns to aluminum-hydroxide. While this can be recycled, it can’t be recharged by plugging the battery into a powerpoint.”
Important detail.

How much would this disposable battery cost? Bet you can buy a ton of gasoline for that price.

The battery weighs just 100km But it can go 22 volt-amps per circular hectare.

...it can't be recharged by plugging the battery into a powerpoint. Maybe with some additional R&D investment, they can solve this problem. Then I'll be a multi-gazillionaire with my hundreds of powerpoint decks sitting around collecting bit dust. If you make me an offer now, I'll let them go for a song. Don't wait! You must act now before this new technology takes off and my PPTX deck prices soar!
To: Jack Hydrazine
cant be recharged, which means you have to buy a new one every thousand or so miles at an astronomical cost.

Sound encouraging.
But why use a silver catalyst? That could be very expensive. There are cheaper CO2 scrubbers: zeolites and ethanolamine come to mind.

I see that it can run for 1800 km on one charge, but what’s that “3000 km” bit? That’s the lifetime of the battery? One month, maybe two, of regular driving?

I'm sure Tesla will be talking with them shortly if not already. Good point. Tesla is positioned to take advantage of any advancements in energy storage. However, there have been thousands of claims like this one. They never materialize.

Like anything based on aluminum, there is a lot of embodied energy in Phinergy's batteries, but they are manufacturing their products in Quebec, where the electricity is almost entirely sourced from hydroelectric stations, keeping the carbon footprint small. The energy isn't the big CO2 source in aluminum refining. You heat up the aluminum oxide until it is molten, put in a carbon electrode and run current through it. This results in the chemical reaction 2Al2O3 + 3C -> 4Al + 3CO2. Well, what do you know, CO2 is released. Unless you can capture this or have a carbon neutral way of producing the carbon anode out of atmospheric carbon, this isn't a way of reducing the carbon footprint of driving.

The big disadvantage of aluminum-air batteries is that they don't last. The aluminum turns to aluminum-hydroxide. While this can be recycled, it can't be recharged by plugging the battery into a powerpoint. Instead the whole battery will need to be replaced when the aluminum has been used up. Advocates of this system claim that battery swaps can be done quickly and easily. They were working to establish a network of battery pack swap stations for specially equipped cars converted to electric with easily removed and replaced modular battery packs, Renault I think, several years ago in Israel. This was to overcome range and time to recharge issues present in existing technology at that time. Haven't heard much about it since, but this appears to feed into that same scheme with a much improved battery pack.

Is Freeper here aware of any gas or diesel powered engine that runs at a constant (optimal) speed that could be used to power a small electric battery charger?
I am looking for a very small one

Whatever shortcomings this currently has will be overcome pretty quickly.
Then we can wave goodbye to Arab oil and American companies gouging us at the pump.
