The Battery That Will Finally Unlock Massless Energy Storage

I really dislike that marketing term “massless”.

[Organic Panic]

“I wish everyone had electrical/electronics knowledge so that they could understand your brilliant statement.”

I’ll submit a request for billions in stimulus dollars to finish my research. I’m sure AOC will support it. I”ll call my company “Solyndra Too, Electric Boogaloo”

The energy density of Lattice Enabled Nuclear Reactors and Enhanced Coulomb Repulsion devices is about 5,000X that of gasoline.

[Kevmo]

Mitchell Swartz hooked up his NANOR device to a small Stirling Cycle Engine and ran it for months. Battery technology at the time would run the small device for mere hours.

Enhanced Coulomb Repulsion isn’t free energy, it’s just high density cheap energy.

[SauronOfMordor]

Gasoline has an energy density of 46.4 MJ per kilogram. 3.6MJ = 1 kWh. So 12.9 kWh per kg. Batteries are not even close.

I once spent a few days on a large ranch. It had high voltage power lines running across it.

One day the rancher got in trouble. The power company landed a helicopter on his property.

Turns out that his sons & friends were goofing off and laid the irrigation piping end to end for over a mile.

Such a long line parallel to electrical wires does induce an electric current in the secondary ‘wire’.

They were playing around with static electricity buildup and spark gaps and even whether you could hear banging on the pipe a mile away [nope, not even with a stethoscope].

At any rate, the rancher got fined for stealing electricity.

The power company was claiming that the pranksters even risked the lives of the helicopter crew due to the much increased likelihood of a static discharge when the flew their inspection flights between the power lines and the irrigation pipe, which struck me as bullshiite.

Is that something like a flux capacitor?

[higgmeister]

Sounds good to me.   I bet AOC could dance to it.

[Kevmo]

No. Search the terms for yourself and ask Google is spending $10M/yr on ECR. Or why NASA calls it Lattice Enabled Fusion.

I don’t see Google spending more than $2 on Flux Capacitor research.

[from occupied ga]

I don’t see any products using these theoretical modes. So at the moment they’re just like batteries with the same energy density as fossil fuels, practical fusion energy, and flux capacitors - science fiction. All of which is irrelevant to this article which is touting batteries with a pathetic 0.22% of the energy density of fossil fuels as a great breakthrough.

[Kevmo]

If you’re ONLY considering products then why even bother reading about research? Apples to oranges comparison.

[from occupied ga]

There is research and then there’s vaporware which is design to suck in investment dollars and grant money with no chance of ever producing a viable product. Some fools are always taken in if there’s enough technical sounding gobbledegook in the description and a multi syllable title. And the government is always ready to throw money at things that makes no sense - like electric cars.

[Kevmo]

So now you’ve moved from your apples-to-oranges onto the standard vaporware criticism of research without addressing the original fallacy. Trying to hide your tracks, to obfuscate, to change the subject.

[from occupied ga]

Save your personal attacks for someone who gives a crap. The fallacy is that you're obviously a true believer as in the quote, "For the true believer no proof is needed nor disproof possible." Like I said snake oil with impressive sounding titles and no doubt scientific sounding gobbledegook in the description. I bet you believed in those 100 mpg carburators and the pill that you put in your gas tank that enables you to burn water.

All of which has nothing to do with batteries having a miniscule fraction of the energy density of fossil fuel.

The energy density of Lattice Enabled Nuclear Reactors and Enhanced Coulomb Repulsion devices is about 5,000X that of gasoline

Nice titles for a scam.

Oh and BTW since neither of these things actually exist, how do you know the energy density of them?

[Kevmo]

That is NOT a personal attack
It is a comment on your lack of capability to avoid logical fallacies.

[Kevmo]

If that was your bet then my bet about you is that you waited to see what others said before weighing in, because you do not think for yourself.

Those things do exist, have been replicated hundreds of times in peer reviewed journals. Are you saying that the $10Million/year that Google is pouring into this, and the effort NASA is pouring into this... that those 2 things are a scam?

You really DON’T know how to think critically for yourself. Take a critical thinking class.

[from occupied ga]

Well since it's not a personal attack, I find that your willing belief like Alice in at least 2 impossible things makes you a look like credulous fool, and your willingness to personally attack someone who disagrees with you without responding to their criticism makes you appear to be a belligerent a$$hole. Note this is merely descriptive of your behavior.

[Kevmo]

Dude. “ Since it’s not a personal attack”... followed by “your willingness to personally attack”.

You simply do not know how to reason. Take that critical thinking class.

[from occupied ga]

You apparently don’t recognize sarcasm either

[Kevmo]

Unlabelled satire is very often craptire.
