Wouldn't it be great if this could get to market. Almost sounds to good to be true. Maybe I missed it but are there any working prototypes out there in a vehicle or some kind of device or is this just in a lab?

You would think there would be folks all over this if it were the case. I wonder what is holding it up?



It's taken 25 years for Li-ion batteries to get from the lab to the current level of industrial production. If this technology pans out it will probably take a similar time to do the same - maybe a bit faster given the greater interest in batteries now.


I imagine (hope!) that the much larger industry and greater need for large scale commodity batteries (electric cars) can speed this up considerably, and not just a bit.


and cheap credit in Europe! Make it happen!


Also keep in mind Tesla exists now and they do push the envelope. If this tech has any merit I would expect them to jump on it.


So this guy was 67 when Li-ion batteries started from the lab. And invented the li-ion battery at 57! Pretty impressive!
