New battery tech - better, safer, faster.

Developer Of Aluminum-Ion Battery Claims It Charges 60 Times Faster Than Lithium-Ion, Offering EV Range Breakthrough

Hopefully in a format we'll be able to use, if we can get hold of any. The tech sounds amazing, little to no concern about fires, too. Basically a super-conductor, per the article.

Man... That Almost Sounds Too Good to be True.

So What's the Catch?

 

[AttyPops]

Probably price and availability. Guessing.
But yeah, amazing. It's the "EV Solution", I hope, that makes them reasonably practical. And least the first version of one. But we vapers benefit too.

Next up, neighborhood mini-nuke power plants.

We'd have to buy new chargers.

Charge 60X Faster. No Amp Limit on Discharge. Significantly More Capacity.

"The Candle that Burns Twice as Bright Shines Half as Long." Maybe the Lifespan of the Cycles is the Downside?

Or Maybe the Lifespan is the Same and they're going to hand-out a Bunch of these...

120 Amps @ 5 Volts for a 21700.

LOL

 

[AttyPops]

It'll make Tesla (or whomever) charging stations interesting.

If it's true China and Chile will be ......

 

[AttyPops]

cigalikes might make a comeback. Or just smaller devices. Fast charge, and 3x mAh. Gotta work on atomizers.

 

[Superuser187]

I have read for many types and technologies of batteries but usually they are expensive or lack something specific....but it's good it happens ofc cause thats how a new tech start I guess and then evolves into something we use everyday

 

[AttyPops]

If it's true China and Chile will be ......

Because of rare-materials, or new plants in new locations?

Yeah.

There's so much need for this stuff, like for capacitance on the grid itself, that many countries should have "modern battery tech", really. Everyone will need it.

But you know what they say, the love of money (and patents) is the root of all evil.........

Everyone that can will try and lock this up.

There is a 189 megawatt hour Tesla battery plant in South Australia that stores power from renewables and releases it when needed. Big success and more planned in other parts of the country. Meanwhile our head-in-the-sand government is building gas fired power at tax payer expense.

If I had money, I'd buy stock. (Not a recommendation, an observation).
They're just getting started. Support the Aussies.
Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery Progress Update

GMG’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Craig Nicol, stated: “More than 80 incoming requests from across the globe have been received by the Company from organizations seeking to explore potential applications in electric consumer vehicles, high-performance cars, heavy duty vehicles, motor bikes, air transport, personal appliances such as laptop computers and phones, grid-connected storage, and others.

I was Thinking of this Thread while watching this the other night.

Great Electric Airplane Race

That jet fuel thing was sickening. Electric motors FTW! Maybe we'll just have to go slower. Amazon = 2 days, etc.

NASA/etc. getting involved in the air-traffic problem is a good thing too. Automate it.

We might Not ever get to 737 and Larger Electric Planes. Because it may take Battery Weights that Equal the Weight of Passengers/Cargo.

But think if Battery Energy Density could increase to the point of a 55' Semi's being Hybrid or All Electric? Or a personal car that had a 700 Mile range?

 

[AttyPops]

I think that's why Musk was working on high-speed tunnels and such. Now he's short distance, but it could be the next "railway" type of thing. Planes are 500-ish mph. But if they "go wide" with the new-rail/cargo, there's no reason to fly at all that I can think of. People, sure, but meh, let em go 300 mph.

Anyway, getting kind of off topic for e-cigs. This tech is really really cool. I know several companies are working on it, but this one managed to pack more into it by "punching holes" better in the graphene.

 

[AttyPops]

More of the same, but this has a video on em. (and other tech).
Nanotech batteries will charge 70 times faster than lithium-ion
