Given how heavy and otherwise problematic batteries are, I've always wondered why not use water.
You would split it into H and O using a capacitor, most likely at home, but possible also at gas stations.
Then when it's turned into H2O again, don't dump the water, store it in a tank, a closed system in other words.
The only tricky part here is that H is very explosive, but gasoline ain't exactly gravy either.
- yan 18y agoLiquid gasoline is actually fairly stable; gasoline gas on the other hand, combusts fairly violently.
- biohacker42 18y agoGood point, that's why I'm thinking of a VERY robust tank, sealed to the outside world, except for the electric connections, which contains the H and H20. I'm assuming it's not very hard to make a tank that can survive almost any collision. It would be a lot more expensive then a gas tank but I'm guessing less costly then all those lithium batteries?
