How explode-y is this battery? I hear California also has this problem with forest fires and it seems a fire and giant batteries all over the place would be two flavors that do not go well with each other.
- adgjlsfhk1 5y agoProbably less explody than a propane tank. Turns out that pretty much any form of energy storage can release a bunch of energy in a short time if pushed hard enough.
- oblio 5y agoI was thinking the same thing until someone pointed out that lard stores a ton of energy but you can't really make it explode. I hope.
- branko_d 5y agoBut you can make it burn! https://madison.com/wsj/huge-grease-fire-was-a-hot-mess/article_acfce336-15d1-11e0-ba15-001cc4c002e0.html https://madison.com/wsj/huge-grease-fire-was-a-hot-mess/arti... > With so much oil-rich food on hand, including lard, cheese and more than 10 million pounds of surplus butter stored by the federal government, the fire was a hot mess — fast-moving, destructive and difficult to put out.
- ben_w 5y agoNow I want to know if someone has made a butter-fuelled hybrid rocket, and not why not.
