Batteries wear out after many charge cycles, I've read -- but what about this "iron powder battery" -- can one use and "re-charge" it "forever"? Or the iron powder "wears out" somehow? less and l

Sorry I misinterpreted. How interesting with mining zinc and silver -- is that possibly related to the solar panels you'll add? I never met anyone who mines zinc and silver LiFePO4 -- that's lithium iron phosphate batteries, then,

Interesting to read, thanks for writing. I'm getting the impression you know okay much about health care -- for example I had to lookup NSAIDs to know it means "Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs". I wonder if that makes t

Yes, at the same time: Imagine if in the US: there was a new poisonous snake that killed 400 000 people. Someone said: Let's exterminate that type of snake. Then, do you think someone from the US/Europe/Australia would have r
