but is it safe ? LOL
kids will still tap their toe waiting for it and asking “Why is this taking soooooo long? lol
I did not see any information saying he had validated the model.
Now.... on to harnessing the energy of lightning.
Whut
And this is only a beginning or intermediate model...
Nothing about increasing the storage capacity / mass. Might be ok for laptops. I am doubtful about cars.
cool! dude declares HE has modified Kirchhoff’s Law ... i wonder if all existing capacitors know about this modification and if they’re willing to obey the new law?
btw, i’m thinking about modifying the Laws of Thermodynamics, which would be an incredible boon for mankind ...
👀👎
Another potential step-forward hopefully amidst many more to come if government will just get out of the way.
If government would lower taxes and their overhead there should be more breathing room for researchers and corporations to develop new technologies.
So, more porous means faster charging and discharging.
Does that mean even bigger EV fires that are even harder to put out?
And fossil fuels have 100 times the energy density of lithium ion batteries. Battery electric vehicles were a bad idea in the 19th century when they were first invented and still a bad idea today even though lithium ion batteries have 5 times the energy density of the original EV batteries (but still only about 1% of gasoline)
I always thought on cars that capacitors should have been used for the initial movement from stop and recharged by the regeneration of slowing down. These are the two largest moment of energy situations and would save the battery capacity for lower inertia events thus providing longer battery range.
It sounds like he built a model on a spreadsheet...so 29 years away..
Also regular capacitors do hold their charge for a long time, old TVs still have a spark. So the whole article sounds dubious.
“could lead” I’m not holding my breath. Whats with the incessant posting “battery breakthrough” articles?
If the model for a supercapacitor involves multiple layers of pores, then it's no wonder that the standard Kirchhoff's Law does not apply.
Multiple problems with this that have to be solved.
Is the wiring in your house up to the voltage you’ll be dumping through it?
What happens in one of these ‘supercapaciters’ when it decides to dump it’s entire load? Lithum batteries burning are bad enough. Wonder what it will be like trying to deal with a cap leak or discharge?
Petrol stored in tanks in the ground or in you car are fairly stable, and is incredibly dense in terms of power.
You need something similar for electricity especially if generation capacity is limited by solar/wind generation.
I was reading about such a power storage facility that caught fire last week. It’s been burning for a week even after having a couple of millions of gallons of water dumped on it. It would seem that the process of trying to douse the fire caused more batteries to short, which required more water to try to control it, and even after it was “out”, it would restart on its own.
You’re going to need a crapload of storage facilities to handle demand.
The article mentioned that capacitors don’t hold charge over time as well as batteries. That means more loss, and additional needed demands for power. What happens to the energy when it discharges silently? Is it converted to heat as it is lost?
This is just the start off the top of my head.
Electric cars are a stupid idea in general to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.
