Super cheap earth element to advance new battery tech to the industry

Yep - a science teacher dropped a BB-sized piece of Sodium into an aquarium set up for the purpose and it took off zooming around when it hit the water...

Um, “turns purple” ?
Are they thinking of potassium?

“Thanks Red Badger. Oh, no! Now we're going to deplete the salt in the oceans!!!”

Yes,but then we’ll Have one hell of a fresh water lake won’t we?/Sarcasm.

Yep, elemental sodium does blow up good when exposed to water including just the humidity in air. A chemist I worked with was transferring a chunk of sodium from a gallon can of diesel to the airlock of an inert gas glove box when it squirted from the forceps like a watermelon seed. It headed straight for the lab sink. The chemist took off running, very prudent, and the sodium chunk made a perfect bulls eye into the sink drain. The explosion blew out the sink and trashed the cabinet.

I think this experiment has been done before, although the only evidence I have seen was a letter over 50 years ago. Supposedly my brother & friends confiscated a significant quantity of sodium, sealed it in a canning jar, floated it out on a pond and triggered it with a 22 rifle shot to the jar. Would have liked to seen that, but was too young to tag along.

Sure, it would be nice, but it just ain't gonna happen!

There's been 100 years of intense search for better battery technology, and lithium has been the only thing to show promise, but at high cost in resources and safety.

Fuel cells work where cost is comparatively of low concern, but where is that?

Come the fall of 2024, there will be no more “6 years away” ever again.

[umgud]

That would have been wild.

I just want a cell phone battery that lasts all day

Turn off location services, and it probably will last all day.

[Sparticus]

Turn off location services, and it probably will last all day.

Oh, they're off. Believe me. The fact that it's over 2 years old does not help, either.

[This_Dude]

How do you figure that?

The “Day of Trumpets” beginning the fall of 2024 will be the end of “The Kingdoms of Men.”

There will be no more earthly governments from that day onward. The sham that enabled those tyrannical cabals and all that comes with it will fall in total fecklessness.

Get a “Power Bear” battery.

They easily last two days.

What could go wrong?

You’re on the right track!

This is feckless chest thumping, show us production within workable cost limits.

[This_Dude]

Ok, I’ll just go ahead and repeat myself. How do you figure? Who TOLD you we only have until fall of 2024?

[aimhigh]

After the most recent update, my battery barely lasted a day. I went to SETTINGS, APPS, and found GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES. It had all sorts of services turned on that I didn’t use. I turned them off, and now my battery lasts for many days.

The clear prophecies in the word of Yehova tell us that.

The display at sunset in 2017 at the beginning of the seventh Biblical month marked the beginning of the “70th Sabbath.”

The new moon at the beginning of the seventh month will be the end thereof, and the gathering of the kehillah on the sea of glass mingled with fire.

The word is really not that hard to understand unless you are trying to support Hal Lindsay.

Yep, Google is very intrusive.
