Yeah, they’ll be charged electricity from generators spun by Stirling engines, supplied with billions of kilowatt hours worth of hot air emitted by professors at MIT.

“If it works as hoped...”

No thanks. I’ll drive.

Later ... Viswanathan returns to India where he sets up a plant that make the batteries far cheaper then any similar plant in the US.

Later Still ... Chiang returns to mainland China and hands all the technology over to the Central Committee who then orders Chiang’s family released, but Chiang is to be held until such time as they successfully purchase the Indian plant started by Viswanathan.

The pollution gets moved to a smokestack.

At least they are attempting to bring their batteries to market. Other that it joins the thousands of long forgotten battery claims I’ve seen over the years.

If it works as hoped, it would enable regional commuter flights that don’t burn fuel or produce direct climate emissions.

Unfortunately the unicorn farts needed to charge it are the worst greenhouse gas ever.

Yet-Ming Chiang & Venkat Viswanathan,


I get the “coal-fired” airplanes, but if someone can produce a battery that can be charged as fast as getting a tank of gas, and can travel as far as that tank can take you, that will be really something. It could change just about everything.

And it does say something about President Trump’s merit-based immigration model. The right immigrants do make this a better, stronger, wealthier nation.

Interesting possible advance in battery technology. It also illustrates the shameless way that those behind nearly all new energy technology research projects try to latch into the global warming scam to snag more government money. I take this as a clear warning sign that the project is not economically feasible at this time

A powerful new battery could give us electric planes that don’t pollute

Another lie from the greenies. How do you get the batteries charged? Well, most likely by burning biomass sources which... pollute.

To heck with batteruy charged planes. It seems this idea might improve land-based batteries.

Bull$hit. It takes more power to charge up the batteries to power the plane than what is available in petroleum products.

They keep repeating the stupidity.
