So, they charged the battery? Why doesn't the article just say that? Does the intended audience of the article not know what "charging a battery" is?
- thefifthsetpin 9y agoMy guess is that the researchers designed their power source to mimic the behavior of solar and wind farms. The researchers were probably rather specific about these behaviors, but it was too verbose or technical for a news article. Some editor tried to summarize that part of the paper, and that editor failed which is how we got this ridiculous sentence.
