That would be cheap redox flow batteries, like the EWE project I linked you to. One thing, I take it you don't see lithium scaling. Why is that? There is enough of it.

Hang on, just checking one thing so that I don't think either of us is going mad. Are you including the roadster that was sent into space as still being a battery powered car by any chance?

Awesome. So when can I purchase a Galactic Positioning System running off pulsars?

You don't lead people to theocracy by warning against killing for dogma. On the other hand, creating dogmas about religion being the source of all evil can have pretty awful consequences. There isn't a simple road between the two

They don't propose it explicitly, they just lead people to it. Once you have started believing that religion is the root of all evil, you do not have to travel very far at all to find yourself persecuting the religious. The position th

That thing is interesting for plasma physics though. It isn't really trying to be a fusion reactor, as far as I can tell from following the links past the article. Is more of a scaled down testbed. I have often wondered if the people w
