Other people can, but not within the same safety, regulatory, longevity, cooling, weight, and manufacturability constraints.
Which is why this demo is useless. It's easy to make one-off prototypes that accomplish something impressive as long as it only has to work a couple times, doesn't have to comply with safety regulations, and you have a massive budget to hand-build a couple of them. It's a different story entirely to try to ship it.
- jacquesm 5y agoEven that isn't all that easy. The energy density constraints are fairly hard on these. I suspect that they are doing something a lot more directly nasty than that: not rechargeable, or, entirely different chemistry.
