This is extremely dumb. We already have units powered by a Zinc-Oxide reactions in a conductive medium. They're called "bad batteries". They got replaced by things called "better batteries". Any distribution challenge of shipping new anodes every 6 months is going to be equal or greater than the challenge of shipping a 24pk of new batteries.
It's neither sustainable nor cost effective.
- peterwwillis 12y agoYou use ocean water to create electricity, and you only have to pick up a new anode once every 6 months. How is this not sustainable or cost effective?!
- shalmanese 12y agoYou have to pick up a new anode every 6 months only if you're powering a tiny, incredibly energy efficient LED. You could power the same LED for 6 months using 6 Li-Ion D Cells.
- dredmorbius 12y agoUm. What exactly is your percentage in defending these guys?
