Hopefully, this will prove to be successful.
Then we can go to lots of electric cars.
Oops, that’s after we improve our grid.
And get reliable generating capacity (e.g., NOT solar & wind).
And harden the grid against solar (and Chinese) EMP.
Hmmmm, too bad we don’t have a government containing any folks who are actually capable of understanding science instead of screaming that we should ‘follow it’.
LOL - new battery. I’m positive that this announcement has been issued monthly for decades.
While many of these stories oversell and under-deliver on the promised technology, it is all but certain that we will see a huge leap in battery technology in the next few years. It is now one of the most studied fields of science because whomever finds the next great formula will reap the benefit.
It will be a game changer.
Will it cost 20x a regular battery?
Enough already with these “super fantastic” battery breakthroughs. Been reading these regularly for years and years and yet never see anything hit the market.
“Hmmmm, too bad we don’t have a government containing any folks who are actually capable of understanding science instead of screaming that we should ‘follow it’.”
That seems to be the problem with this admin. Everything can be corrected with an EO, but outside of that they know no more than just to write the EO and things will form like magic! All these “woke” people have not a clue about real life.
How do these batteries help reduce our carbon footprint if their using carbon to help stabilize the battery?
I’ll chime in as an engineer here with about 40 years in the energy alternative energy arenas
First of all I’m gonna break things down into two parts : science and engineering
When you see articles like this that is science
Scientists get free money to work in government labs and come up with promising ideas
Scientist get paid to write white papers and go present tgese ideas
That being said something that can be done in a laboratory setting may never ever happen in the real world
Engineering is where the rubber hits the road
If you can take a scientific discovery and turn it into a useful product that can be put out in the real world and help human beings- then you’ve really done something
That’s my opinion -but of course I’m an engineer
My final caveat is - beware scientific bull crap
There are many charlatans in this world that will use peoples lack of understanding of laws of thermodynamics for example to forget I’m into investing into Follies - they never produce anything
Everybody has heard of Solyndra I called him out right in the very beginning in 2007 when they made the big splash headlines in Fremont California with their million square-foot plant right on the 880
What was their product?
Line focus 40 sun tracking concentrators for photovoltaic system that they were supposedly going to put on commercial roofs all over the place
I said very simply at the time “ they’re never going to produce any useful product this is a complete and utter nonsense boondoggle”.
And of course it became a very famous one
Now here’s another one in 2004 there was something that came out called “Nano’s solar technology”
It’s complete another bull crap easily provable so but they have sucked up billions and billions of dollars from people who have that kind of money to throw away and waste based on absolutely no science absolutely no engineering and in 17 years now they’ve never produced ANY product
Hi just being who I am have gone in and Fattys people showing up in a suit challenge them on the stage in front of a big investor group and had them basically have security remove me from the room
I would say something along the lines of “I’ve been in the industry 15 years now can I please have a sample of your product to test?”
The same principles of skepticism apply to absolutely everything in the world if you can become a smart person
In short , don’t believe anything!!
There has to be a parallel universe out there where everything is exactly the same as in this universe except that the cell phones are still running on triple-A batteries.
How long does it hold the charge?
.
BS fakenews
And how much of the critical parts are made with rare earth stuff China controls?
