All of the beams in my house have electrons
Comment on Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge
DemBoSain@midwest.social 9 months agoCan you expand on this? There used to be multiple electron beams in every house in America.

I’m using mine right now.

Ok, maybe it’s possible that they aren’t using a very focused electron beam, but usually when scientists think about using an electron beam they mean something inside of a machine like an SEM or e-beam lithograph. These only operate on small areas.
If an unfocused beam (and therefore lower energy density) can be used, then this could likely be scaled more easily. Even if a focused beam is needed, scaling may still be possible, but will likely require additional developments to create that process.
