I concieved of something like this decades ago. Dang near drove me mad tinkering with it. The problem always comes with electrolytle compatability.
This will probably take decades to develop.

Next year’s AI is going to be several orders of magnitude more powerful than this year’s AI. Same goes for the next coupe years.
That suggests a shorter timeline to development.
Yes, you have to have a large surplus of ‘free’ electrons available to carry the current...............
It wasn’t the AI that conceived the method. Rather it was the AI that executed method that discovered the new materials.
AI is another year or more away from being able to conceive its own methods to test and then testing them.
But already the initial stages of that are underway. What’s his name from chatgpt say’s they’re about 20 percent there.
If I HAD money to invest, it would definitely be in battery tech. We have them in everything, we simply can’t live without them.
I can use it when we have a power outage as well. Not to power an entire house, but for charging cell phones, radios, and computers. 12V DC, as well as 110 V AC. It’s great battery technology.
Great so now instead of lithium fires, we’ll have magnesium fires.....
I have no doubt that batteries will power a small part of our civilization for years to come but it will not be as is imagined by the green fanatics of today. The Toyota hybrid model that uses a small ICE powering a generator that powers electric motor driven wheels is good. The ICE can also power the car if the electrics fail. No plug-in station needed.
But there are many places in the USA where the ICE is far better suited for all transportation needs.
…electric is by far the most efficient, controllable and reliable means of mechanical movement…
…diesel electric trains will be around for years to come…
…but they just don’t quite have the sex appeal for current generations…
…so hybrid with “fuel” storage for both are what is being pushed…
…the main point of contention currently is the inefficiency of electric storage…
…but it seems no thought has been given to the inherent loss of the efficiency in transferring energy through multiple means…
…having the cake and eating it too needs to be removed from the equation…
