We are increasing our ability to produce it daily to the point that meeting our needs is not the problem; its being able to redistribute what we can produce. solve that problem and we are golden and more than a few entities believe Al-Air might be the ticket. <br /><br />Now for industrial scale energy management there is still an issue with low efficiency (50% of power available comes off as heat so you won't have to worry about burning electrons to stay warm, they got that covered!) for stationary power storage. <br /><br />the real benefit starts when the cycle has gained momentum. AlOH is easy to recycle and relatively clean with low energy requirements. Now what industrialists really want to do is be able to generate the Aluminum during periods where hydroelectric production is high but demand is low. the current options (which may not be an issue if drought conditions persist) are pumped storage which is woefully wasteful.

Not that I wouldn't be stoked to see Aluminum-air meet its' promise, but I don't see grounds for such a groundbreaking announcement. <br />An aluminum-air battery that's tolerant of dirty scrap aluminum? That would be the closest thing to a MR FUSION reactor that our generation will ever see and spawn a new energy revolution, along with a huge wave of metal theft.....Karmann Eclectrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16850938211688784988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-84622413229220016862015-06-29T14:37:34.400-07:002015-06-29T14:37:34.400-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Karmann Eclectrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16850938211688784988noreply@blogger.com
