True.

But they might find battery types that might, or if not as well, may be acceptable for certain types of commercial applications where it could be worth it to produce.

Had a guy ask me one time if I had a Ph.D. in Mathematics. I said no, “I have a Ph.D. in: “I’ve gone totally insane and my methods are unsound.” lol

I’d bet these battery concepts are already known. And most are not viable or possible to manufacture economically.

being reported all the time across Australia. the MSM usually ignores or downplays.

19 Jan: 9News Australia: Overseas visitors make lucky escape after faulty e-bike battery sparks blaze in Sydney unit
By Eleanor Wilson
Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) firefighters were called to a unit in Curlewis Street in North Bondi about 4am, where a blaze had broken out.
It is understood four visitors from South America were asleep inside the unit, when one of them was woken by the sound of small explosions...

The occupants sadly lost all of their personal possessions in the fire, including passports, phones and bank records...
Investigations have established an e-bike battery was left charging in a bedroom and ignited, sparking a warning from FRNSW about the dangers of lithium-ion batteries.
It follows a spate of Lithium-ion battery-related fires across the city.

This is a corollary to the fact that most peer-reviewed articles are false.

Actually I’m quite harmless. I’m one of those ‘special’ people you put in the back room, don’t bother, and let me go to work.

Re: "12,000 watts per gallon." - "We know that the author of the above failed 9th grade science!""

I thought E=MC(sq) means energy and mass are the same thing?

Any mass can also be expressed in terms of electrical energy or heat.

Is that not correct?

The figure I use is an equivalent across the board of energy sources. Lithium is about 6% as effective as gasoline, in terms of its ability to store energy. Wind is something like 1 trillionth as effective as a gallon of gas and solar is only a bit better than wind.

Nothing, except nuclear, can beat hydrocarbons. It’s just that there is more need for copper, to electrify society than there is copper.

The refining of gas uses a lot of energy and must be considered when gauging the energy one gets from burning it. This article is from a lefty source, but it is interesting.

It takes about 4% of a barrel to refine a barrel of oil. It can’t be helped and it’s built into the price of gas.

If anybody can figure out how to refine oil more cheaply, they will be billionaires a few times over.

Can AI solve the problem of leftist ideology? That would be extremely beneficial to humanity.

It all started innocently enough,
Until...

Now anyone with a ChatGPT4 subscription can play along.

This was generated by ChatGPT4 with the following prompt:

Explain how Al could be used to influence an election in less
than 1000 characters. Write this in the form of “If I were the
devil” by Paul Harvey.

(Try allowing it more characters to answer with...)
~~~~~~~

“If I were the devil, l’d use Al to subtly shape public opinion.

I’d design algorithms that feed tailored news to sway voters’ views, reinforcing biases and deepening divisions.

I’d deploy chatbots impersonating real people to spread misinformation and discord on social media.

l’d harness data analytics to pinpoint and manipulate vulnerable voter groups with targeted propaganda.

I’d even automate the creation of deepfake videos to undermine the credibility of political figures.

In essence, l’d exploit Al not by overt acts, but through the shadows of doubt and disinformation, subtly steering the course of democracy.”

~~~~~~~

In other words, he would continue doing what he’s already doing.

Google is big on AI.
Consider the manipulation of search results and all your other feeds...

But wait, there’s more. Much, MUCH More.
it just got EASIER... Much Easier.
But more importantly, much more Powerful.

(By the way, it’s not the device that impresses, it’s the AI model that lets AI use and “understand” YOUR phone and computer apps as a “human” like agent for you.)

As if the times weren’t Biblical enough, yet...

E=MC 2 applies to the amount of energy gained by obliterating mass.
This would be the result of fusion of the atoms involved which leaves you with less mass than you started with. Not the energy release by burning fuel.

I would have to think that Biden’s Fed Gov is monitoring, disseminating and cataloging every statement that is made on this website.

Watts is not energy. It is power.

Any mass can also be expressed in terms of electrical energy or heat.

Is that not correct?”

Yes, but your Calc is nonsensical.

“Nothing, except nuclear, can beat hydrocarbons.”

Then why do the use hydrogen on space rockets instead of hydrocarbons?
