Not to detract from your point since gasoline is amazingly useful, but there's a gap between energy density and usable energy density. An Otto cycle has a maximum theoretical efficiency of up to 61%, but in practice, friction and p

The new keyboard is the best-feeling keyboard I've ever used. I love the tactile experience! But the failure rate really is unnacceptable. Within a couple months of getting my 2016 Macbook Pro, keys started dying and falling off. My

Flow batteries, at least the kind that are commercially adoptable in the present/near-future (Vanadium redox), scale in capacity very easily. The downsides are twofold: * Poor power density * Relatively limited nominal power outp

Gravity has immensely low power density; each 35 metric ton block described in that article only provides a theoretical maximum of 11 kWh. There's a reason gravity batteries usually use large bodies of water for their mass.
