OK, whose job is it to flip the battery?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

OK, let's get serious about BIG batteries for solar and wind..."Bad Creek." 1,065 MEGAWatts. Try that with your toy battery that somebody has to flip over.

Of course, that COULD provide a lot of jobs to the unemployed and unemployable. I suppose Battery Flipper is better than Burger Flipper.

This seems very interesting.

So I am imagining a car, powered by these, in which the entire battery will be on a massive pivot and every once in a while, the whole battery will then be spun over to the new direction.

By the driver. Manually, he or she will simply spin the battery over. Did I understand that correctly?

Very interesting. Bookmarked this, thanks.

Sounds like it is still a long way from development, but I like the idea.

Yeah. No.

Are we sure this wasn’t an April Fool’s Day item?

I know too much about Thermodynamics to think this is anything worth a damn. No sale.

You only get out a fraction of the energy you put in the system. The only energy in, after a time (after the initial chemical potential energy of the materials), would be the energy involved in flipping this thing over, which isn’t much.

I’m still waiting for that 100 mpg carburetor I read about 50 years ago.

If it takes less power to flip it than the amount of power generated between flips, it is the equivalent of a perpetual motion machine and all that that implies.

That’s how my tablet is powered. You have to shake it up before using it.

Oh wait, never mind. That’s my Etch-a-Sketch.
