I did not see any information saying he had validated the model.
In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice, they’re not!
I remember back when the ‘big breakthough’ came with cold fusion. Experiments (at Sandia, IIRC) and later confirmed at GT.... a big hoopla for a couple days. Right up until somebody said “you have to calibrate your measurement probes and account for temperature...”
One step at a time. First the theory, then the model, then actual prototypes. At least that’s how it is if you do real science, not the democrat mumbo-jumbo climatefauci kind of “science”.
“We derive modified Kirchhoff’s laws and equivalent circuit equations for electrolyte transport in charged confinement. Our framework accelerates numerical computations by six orders of magnitude without compromising accuracy”
“Our network model provides results up to six orders of magnitude faster, enabling the efficient simulation of a triangular lattice of five thousand pores in 6 min. “
Based on above Abstract, it sounds like the new model gets to an “accurate” answer a lot faster (and cheaper) than the old model. Whether this technique leads to a more useful battery / capacitor scheme is still up in the air.
In other words, “Mom / Dad, send more money”.
