Comment on New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles

  An order of magnitude more power in the same form factor in 30 years isn’t a tiny increment. It was certainly a number of tiny increments to get there. And for those big leaps you’re so desperately looking for, it isn’t one little group sitting down together thinking how they’re going to do something. There are decades of research building out a number of tiny discoveries, combined by a group at an opportune time to put it all together so everyone can talk about this momentous leap that they, from the outside perceived as something new that sprung out of nothing.

    Yea that again, doesn’t negate what I’ve stated. Tiny increments throughout a technologies life is great, just like ICE vehicles, but it’s tech from the 70s and we need the next leap forward.

      Fusion power is based on the aeolipile and work by Marie Curie. Just because you don’t see the all the incremental steps connecting those devices doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

        That’s like saying the wheel was invented thousands of years ago…you know what I’m talking about and are just being pedantic about it.

        Fusion power ain’t there yet though, bad example?

  This tech we need, is the leap from ICE to electric vehicles

  Great news! I heard a rumor that they’re going to start making electric vehicles next week.

  Well if you want to read about the many battery chemistries currently in use in EVs, there’s this article:

  insideevs.com/…/all-ev-battery-chemistries-explai…

  As the article explains, there are several chemistries that have already come and gone, and the current models being sold use a few competing chemistries with their tradeoffs. Some of the up and coming chemistries are also already being mass produced.

  So whatever it is you mean by “leap,” it sounds like it’s already been happening in the last 15-20 years.
