This one is a share from one of my fave tubular channels. The Fully Charged Show was created by actor/comedian/ alternative energy enthusiast Robert Llewellyn, who remains the senior host of the show. In recent eps, there has been news of a wood-fibre battery and a sand battery and here is one about the salt battery. It threw me right back to childhood and dad teaching me about the different charge forces in different materials, and he used salt to demonstrate. So the knowledge has been there - the technical (and marketing) wherewithal is only now manifesting.
We are with Gail on that, Sheffield or anywhere, the lithium option didn't appear to be the answer to fossil fuels but this sodium ion battery looks way more attractive.
ooh we hope...
ReplyDeleteThanks Yam - always fun to see ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteInteresting film. Good to see a Sheffield company pushing forward more sustainable solutions to battery technology.
ReplyDeletesince they say Florida will be sinking soon and under water, using seawater salt in stead of lithium makes a lot of sense.
ReplyDeleteOM YAM your shared video taught me so very much! WOW
ReplyDeleteThe waves were relaxing too

ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting video. I hope to see more sodium ion batteries coming to a device we use.
