If it really worked, they’d start a company rather than doing press releases.

Lithium will also catch on fire when exposed to moisture.

Lithium will also catch on fire when exposed to moisture.Which seems rather odd, when you think about it.

These battery tech articles always claim major breakthroughs but they never make it to the market. I just want a cell phone battery that lasts all day and has a lifespan of at least a few years.

We used to have sticks of sodium metal in our lab at school. It came packed in oil. It was a soft material we could shave pieces from and throw in a tub of water, which erupted really greatly depending on the size of the sodium metal piece.

Cold fusion and ceramic engines are right around the corner.
To: Red Badger
A valence of two as opposed to a valence of one. That makes all the difference. Hope it works as sodium is super abundant. Perhaps just a matter of time.

Sodium is some very dangerous stuff.
Salt, sodium and chlorine, is bizarre in it’s innocuousness .

Nothing new here.
Pie in the Sky.
Musk already wasted millions up this dark alley a couple of years ago.
Even tried Francium too.

Thanks Red Badger. Oh, no! Now we're going to deplete the salt in the oceans!!!

The Day of Trumpets is right around the corner too; 6 years away.
Then the bowl judgements, then Yom Kippur, then Sukkot, and nobody will give a hoot about batteries.

“Cold fusion and ceramic engines are right around the corner.”
Well, maybe a commercial engine block made of ceramic (More likely some high-temperature version of carbon fiber). Cold Fusion? I doubt it.

Ceramic engines have been one of my life-long favorites.
I remember a teacher telling us all about them in the mid 70's. Complete combustion. Emissions, little more than water vapor and co2 I believe (before co2 was bad).
Any day now...

Saw a PBS explanation of lithium and scared the hell out me.
A car loaded with batteries would erupt into a fiery furnace if the batteries were compromised.
My flashlights are lithium powered and could be road flares under the right conditions
Scary stuff...
Still, love the power and longevity of the batteries in my flashlights...

But it’s ALWAYS six years away.
In the meantime, a longer lasting battery would be nice.
