Author Message   86129squids Posted on Friday, April 19, 2013 - 12:11 pm:        http://news.illinois.edu/news/13/0416microbatterie s_WilliamKing.html I just did a quick scan of the piece, gotta head out for an appointment, but I figured peeps here should check it out...   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, April 19, 2013 - 01:05 pm:        Second story about it I have seen. Still haven't seen a single useful fact.   86129squids Posted on Friday, April 19, 2013 - 01:17 pm:        Thanks Reep- like I said, I just scanned the piece, and better minds than mine here on the BW might shed some more insight. Gotta have hope though- "where there's smoke..." Yeah, might be a battery on fire.   Sifo Posted on Friday, April 19, 2013 - 02:43 pm:        I have to agree, that was very short on any facts. They basically claim to have achieved the holy grail of battery power. Even assuming that to be true, can it be mass produced and at what price? It could open the door to great new electric all kinds of stuff, or it may prove completely unusable in the real world. I'm certainly not putting my gas bikes up for sale yet.   Scottorious Posted on Saturday, April 20, 2013 - 09:30 am:        the article at nature communications appears to have a lot of information. I didn't want to pay to check it out. If anything its a step in a direction(hard to say good or bad yet). 0-70 in 3.9 seconds....supercar killer! http://youtu.be/WKAMus3oSdw   Teeps Posted on Saturday, April 20, 2013 - 11:34 am:        If it seems too good to be true... I'll believe it when I can buy it; at a reasonable cost.   Seanp Posted on Sunday, April 21, 2013 - 12:59 pm:        It's actually quite simple - they're using interdigitated three-dimensional bicontinuous nanoporous electrodes.   Ourdee Posted on Sunday, April 21, 2013 - 01:50 pm:        Unobtaium   Blake Posted on Sunday, April 21, 2013 - 03:48 pm:        Cool. Let's get it to market and start changing the current energy paradigm! Where is the next Steve Jobs?   86129squids Posted on Sunday, April 21, 2013 - 09:15 pm:        He's not been born or edumakated yet. Much less had...   Sparky Posted on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 - 04:56 pm:        Here's some more info with construction details and progress of these "interdigitated three-dimensional bicontinuous nanoporous electrode batteries" thanks to the monthly Shorai newsletter.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 08:24 am:        Cool, some actual facts. Looks like promising technology.   Cityxslicker Posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 09:50 am:        until then maybe a nice electric and pedal hybrid : all off the shelf parts, except for the frame, and his kit is supposed to give you all the bends, measurements and part sourcing to build it. https://www.facebook.com/emotorbicycle http://emotorbicycle.com/ not affiliated with them at all - I just really dig the build and the retro style to it.   Fast1075 Posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 07:31 pm:        Not unobtainium. Unrealmium.
