Interesting.
"Sustainably sourced cellulose"
So is this a shift away from using earth's crust based materials to using land to grow crops to make batteries?

It all sounds very good, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. When can we buy them? How much? What’s the energy density and power delivery like?

Of course, but it does show how things are progressing. There have always been these new battery technologies just around the corner. Which is why I was dubious about lifepo4’s, but I’m really glad that I changed from lead acid’s which really are very primitive. |

The thing is because I have LifePo4 batteries I wont need the above batteries. A chap was citing not buying an EV because longer range, faster charging solid state batteries were just around the corner, when questioned he hardly does any mileage at all apart from a summer holiday, you cant boil them as soft honestly

It made interesting reading Jim.
Their problem will be getting a major manufacturer interested enough to pump in the megabucks needed tp transform that into practical installations.
The problem being that existing (Lithium) technologies are up and running and there would need to be a very large financial advantage for any firm to take it on.
Probably their best hope would be if the military/NASA etc can see a big advantage for it in some specific situation.
That would put the budget for developement outside the normal financial restraints of a company

We could send them the crabby ones from here. Or am I being shellfish?

It was the obvious solution. Charge them too much at your peril though. You end up with shell shock. I claim that clown crown as mine. yebut, you aren't a pro. I did see that you can juggle on a unicycle, why? |

What we need is a global war to stimulate research into new technologies. Proven method for technological advancement. Oh look here comes one now. |

Id rather they found a less stressful way of advancing technology Don't we all! New tech is driven by two factors; need and desire, both of which are historically driven by conflict, which is always a game of one-upmanship. He who has the technological edge wins the fight, plain and simple. The space-race of the 60s (which was a fight of a political nature) led to a host of trickle-down tech that underpins most of the gadgets we now take for granted. A good example is GPS which was originally developed by the USA as a tactical necessity for advanced weapons. All the bombs fired off in the Gulf wars depended on it. If we get close to a shooting war of the sort everyone fears, one sure sign it's close to kicking off will be that such things are closed to public access. |
