Posted this one online today. These don't always come to fruition, but looks promising for e-bike market.

These don't always come to fruition,

I'd reword that regarding these "huge leaps":

They never come to fruition.

These "breakthroughs" always surface when they are looking for investment. I'll bet one of my testicles that it'll never make it to market, or even work in practice as the article claims.

So, a battery that last 20 times longer, could be 20 times smaller for the current ranges achievable?

Wouldn't that leave you with no testicles

My granddad said that he knew a prisoner of war that used to do this during WW2. He would bet various parts of his anatomy and always lose the bet.

Eventually, he managed to escape back to the fatherland. We're onto you Herr Lee!

We already have batteries that last 20 times longer: Lithium titanate. Every advantage seems to have a disadvantage attached to it.

Just checked and I've still a complete set.

Talking of balls, has anyone seen this advert doing the rounds on the telly at the moment? I thought it was a joke, but no, it's a genuine ad for a real product.

Is that because it's 20 tines too small.

Technical question,
Is it a battery or something else?

I read somewhere it's capacitors.. or was it ice cream cones?

Na there's no mention of power density.

Battery leaps over horizon:

I thought Graphene was going to be the new wonder material for batteries!

That followed carbon nano tubes, which also got nowhere.

Announcements of battery advances are like political manifestos, full of promise never to be realised.
