2023-12-18 Solid State Battery From Ion Storage Systems
The electrolyte is not a liquid, it’s semisolid gel. It came from research in ceramics. Quote “”The US startup Ion Storage Systems is getting ready to launch their new solid state EV battery out of the pilot phase and into a high volume commercial-scale manufacturing line, with an assist from the 350-year-old materials specialist Saint-Gobain.

2023-12-11 Hydrogen Electrolyzers Made In China Are Having Major Problems
The hydrogen electrolyzers are having problems when run at less than 50% capacity, and have to be shut down. The makers claim that they would run at 30% capacity. At lower capacities the hydrogen leaked into the oxygen can exceed 1.8%, causing explosions. Also the Chinese are building a very long H2 pipeline. Quote “”…the

2023-12-01 California’s Salton Sea Has Lithium To Power 375 Million EVs
The naysayers criticize that there’s not enough lithium. But they don’t know what they are talking about. The problem with the very hot brine that’s got the lithium is no one has yet figured out how to extract the lithium from it. https://electrek.co/2023/12/01/a-california-dried-up-lake-has-enough-lithium-to-power-375-million-evs/ Another article about lithium price https://www.arcamax.com/homeandleisure/automotive/s-2997652?ezine=566&lctg=7OzsSZc-x1SiBwEiTQMikJzPqvPdfr6pUASepJvYA0k&r=Fmlp
2023-11-24 No Oxygen, Just Nitrogen, You Die Asleep
Here’s a YouTube short from Hank’s Channel that explains why you don’t know you’re being asphyxiated by pure nitrogen. The reason I’m bringing this up is that a few years ago some guy poured a giant dewar flask of liquid nitrogen into the swimming pool at a party. So some people commented about this on

2023-10-31 Iron & Salt Batteries made by Inlyte Energy
Inlyte Energy acquired Beta Research which has patents and a pilot production line to already make iron salt batteries. They say “competitive densities” but I don’t think they’re anywhere near to Li-Ion cells. But they’re much lower cost. They call them ‘sodium metal halide’ batteries. Advancing iron and salt batteries with $8 million in seed

2023-10-21 Fossil Fuels Are Made Of Plants, Not Dinosaurs
Some people think that crude oil is made of dinosaurs. No, it’s made of dead plants. More in this short video.
2023-10-12 Haber Process – Making Ammonia Is Very Energy Intensive
Those who are concerned about the use of fossil fuels are typically concerned about transportation and fossil fuels use in homes and industries. But they tend to ignore the fact that humans use a large amount of fossil fuels to make fertilizer to grow food. Without fertilizer there would be global starvation. Along with other

2023-09-14 Black Mass Matters! The New Black Gold
The black mass is the concentrated lithium and other metals left when lithium EV batteries are recycled into their parts. This black mass is then processed along with other raw materials to make new batteries. There are these Chicken Littles who say that EV batteries are too expensive, then contradict themselves by saying the EV
