@@maintoc People get confused some times because the theories for resistance and power where parallel resistance loads draw more current ,series resisters drop more voltage ext.. In both cases though parallel is like the ties of the train tracks where the ties are the devices and the track is the wire. Series is like the lines on the high way and the lines the devises, the empty pavement the wire between the devices. So the minor boo boo was just getting the nomenclature reversed.

You got Batteries connected in 'series' vs 'parallel' wrong. You will increase voltage if you connect them in 'series'. If you put them together in 'parallel' you simply increase the capacity and the voltage will stay that of a single cell. You mentioned that the other way around in your video.

And you're right, if it doesn't work like expected, one can always rewire and try again. You can do that on a small scale, but if I take my battery banks individual batteries (16 x 12 V 125amp) and cable them all up in series, then I would rather stand far back and flip the switch with a 10 foot pole.

Dear Robert , I have been a subscriber since 2015, have seen your journey from afar. Live in India now, i feel i can maybe help you along in your path. A storage solution for electric vehicles will be in great demand here since there is a policy shift towards electric vehicles and the time frame for implementation is very narrow. (2025 as per the govt) Lithium ion battery chemistry is the one every Manufacturer is looks at, however I feel we as a country are still decades away from adapting such a pricey battery chemistry. There is a sweet spot between lithium ion/iron phosphate chemistry and lead acid chemistry. Maybe with all the work you have done, you can find that middle ground. And i can assist you too. Let me know please Best Krishna

Cutting huge rolls of paper to distinct and repeatable sized sheets is basically the bread and butter of every newspaper producer. If your sheets behave so much like traditional paper that the manufacturing process can be adapted, surely this should also be a possibility. Also, it seems that you have achieved design lock. I would be very interested in seeing how the batteries react to over/undercharging, shorting, and piercing of the envelope/destruction/bending while fully charged. Perhaps something you might want to share in the next update Truely hope you guys can actually achieve this, and show that innovation can still come from privateers. Best of Luck!

@dennisfahey23792 жыл бұрын
You have your terms series and parallel backwards. The 2V cells in series will increase the output voltage (2 x # of cells such that 2X4 cells would give you 8 total volts with a current capacity of the single cell. ) . The 2V cells in parallel will increase the available output current such that each cell increases only the current a single cells worth. Of course all batteries and capacitors have both an anode and a cathode so nothing new there. A battery has an electrolyte between plates while a capacitor has a dielectric. This of course dates back to Volta's PIle and the Leyden jar. If the technology works as claimed capital is readily availble and of course manufacturing is just an investment as Tesla demonstrated with their Nevada Gigafactory. Note that the massive tens of kilowatts batteries in the Tesla (and all EVs') is used primarily for drive power to the motors and also for dynamic breaking. Further you do not get a Copyright on a technical design/process - you get a patent.

People should really take note that he does not understand the difference between in series and in parallel .Just for the record parallel increases the power (2x 12v batteries remain 12v with twice the runtime) and series increases the voltage(2x 12v batteries combine to create 24v battery) not what he said around the 9:00 mark.

Rarely, will a person go on the internet looking for ideas and ways to do something and find such a perfect fit and layout as I have found in your video's. To find you were designing and building your own at the same time I was looking for that info. is just amazing. Then to find you are posting video on exactly how to experiment and find what version works best for them and to find you are FREELY giving that info. away without asking any compensation for your self and have no patents on your work, at the time you so badly need capitol to build your own products is unbelievably kind of you.

THANK YOU !!! so very much for all you do to help others who do not have a large surplus of cash available.

we aren't looking at lithium ion mat - these batteries are meant to replace lead acid

Thank you for the update. I know you are in the process of testing. Have you and indication on how many cycles this battery chemistry would achieve?

cycles testing take long time

certainly longer than 5,000 cycles but Dyuk has it right - it takes ages to test lol

@@ThinkingandTinkering you say that the supercap have 12Wh/kg, this is twice the energy of a Maxwell cells, this is good. What is the voltage of the supercap. 1.8V or 2V?

Rob, have you thought of using a small laser cutter to cut up the 4-ton rolls? Works like a simple X-Y printer/plotter. You can program in any size and shape and quantity you like, regardless of thickness and other properties of the substrate. No repeated expensive tooling costs or wastage or delays if you want/need to change anything. Lase off exactly what you need on demand. Bang on lad, very much appreciated. Best regards to all.

Sorry that I don't have time to read through all the previous comments, so my apologies if this has been asked before: What are the volt and amperage readings for your standard size cell? And on a different note: a while back (several years, I believe), you did a video where you were at the ocean and demonstrating a battery generating current by running seawater over it. My question would be: Could you put a bunch of those battery cells in a closed system, and recycle the seawater out of a "reservoir", passing it over the cells repeatedly? And if so, how many times could you reuse the seawater before it no longer generated any useful amount of current? And on another different note: If you run out of paper manufacturers, come to the United States (particularly the State of Maine). We have a bunch of idle paper plants, just waiting for someone to put them back into use. Keep up the good work. - George (gen81465)

it's 12 wh per kg for the cap version and around 50 wh per kg for the battery versio mate they are 2 volts so you can work out the amps easy.that was the SWAG generator - it's not a battery and these devices are so you could build up a multicell SWAG but if you put a load of these cells in the sea all you would get is wet cellsthanks for the tip on maine i'll look into it - cheers

Actually, cutting 4 tons of paper to a specific and exact size is not as expensive as it sounds. The hardest part will be positioning a 4 ton roll of paper. After that you can use electric knives to rough cut the layered sheets into manageable stacks and use a hydraulic press to die cut them with a high degree of precision. I used to manage a hat manufacturing plant here in Denver. We would cut several hundred pounds of cloth on day 1, seal the buckram to it the next day, stitch the cut pieces together the next day and embroider and finish a day later. The last day was for packing and shipping. We could make 10k hats per week with 2 shifts. Not bad when you consider we did it with numerous colors of cloth, styles of hats and different embroidery programs. Your success is closer than you think it is. Good show!

Good to see you're still alive Robert, but you still have the worst sound quality on KZbin - always has been the case. You have two means of communication - audio and video - why have you always deemed audio quality as not important? What about your visually impaired viewers?

Glad you're ok. What happened to the bipolar design you were close to producing back in march? Did you run into issues when you tried to scale up production?
