The Future of Batteries & Chargers - New Tech!

[kslice917]

Hey guys! I was browsing StumbleUpon today when I ran across an interesting article about a new startup project that makes the claim that they can charge your cell phone battery to full in under 30 seconds!

This new technology is from a Nanotechnology Pioneer called StoreDot - You can check out their article here:

In summary, the article describes the following:

StoreDot specializes in technology that is inspired by natural processes, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly. The company produces “nanodots” derived from bio-organic material that, due to their size, have both increased electrode capacitance and electrolyte performance, resulting in batteries that can be fully charged in minutes rather than hours.

So here I am, vaping as usual, and I thought to myself - It would be cool to be able to charge my (A)PV in under 30 seconds. I wouldn't really have to worry about battery life then! Now I would assume the biggest problem here is that these new batteries would have a low amp limit, which would kill the idea. However, I could totally see this technology evolving as the technology for mods do as well.

I don't know if this has popped up here yet or not, but I figured you guys might enjoy the idea!

A lot of theoretical technology is amusing - and then never materializes. I didn't see enough practical information about their "dots" to figure out where it's going. Hell, at this point the market can't get wireless recharging off the ground - another idea that sounds great - in theory - but has it's practical limitations. Like the need of a charging base - that still needs an evil cord plugged into an AC outlet... Another idea that sounds a lot greater than it's real world application.

We may not see the results of "dots" in our lifetime, but our children or grandchildren may. I'm sure there was plenty of theoretical concepts back in the day or our grandparents and our parents early lives that are just now coming to fruition. It takes time.
