(Note this math is a thought experiment ... completely off the cuff and utter non-sense.)
Based on their numbers:
AA is about 700J/g @ 20g gives about 14000J and a 24 hour drain gives us 580J/hour.
DiamondBattery is about 15J/day or ~0.5J/hour
Ignoring voltage issues (among other things), we come to 1.1kg of DiamondBattery being able to supply something that would drain their 20g AA in 24 hours.
The math here is complete off the cuff non-sense, but an extra kg or so here is not unreasonable for some fixed applications ...
- drzaiusapelord 10y agoThis is a little disheartening in terms of robotics. For a non-trivial robot with a handful of 12V motors and a decent workload, I imagine this would add tens of lbs compared to only a handful of ounces using lithium. Of course, those tens of lbs means more power needed to push the robot and you quickly hit the laws of diminishing returns.
