Just Happened! Elon Musk Revealed Silicon Battery - LTO Battery, Miracle Material for 2024 (Mix).

[@thomasruwart1722]

Lithium will not go away because in Star Trek their ships use Dilithium Crystals and that is 200 years in the future!😊

[@kasey42]

That isn't lithium though, it's dilithium

[@TeslaCarWorld]

#Thomas Ruwart. That is correct! On this planet, lithium will never completely vanish. It just doesn't appear in the production of batteries and electric vehicles, lithium is nevertheless required for other purposes as usual.

[@TeslaCarWorld]

#Kasey. Thanks!

You are not switching Lithium to Silicone. You are switching Carbon Anodes to Silicon ones (Time 6:40-6:55 ) to store more Lithium Iones with less anode weight

[@hazendismukesjr.8319]

Many tec ideas have come to pass

[@georgehorvath4814]

LTO batteries will definitely meet the requirements necessary for all of our 24V off-grid wireless installations.

[@frankbarkman2575]

I thought it was great that they have re-engineered their use of rare earths and exotic minerals completely out of the vehicle’s.

[@pip5461]

Most intriguing...!

[@TeslaCarWorld]

Thanks!

Fluff piece. Yes silicon has great promise and is being worked on by many companies. At 6:24 it is correctly stated that the silicon anode battery under discussion has 80% capacity after 500 cycles. This is good, but no where near industry standard for Li-ion at 80% for 5000 cycles. When they get it up to 5000 cycles I will pay attention. At 15:55 they talk about an LTO battery with 30,000 cycle capability, that more like it! However this is also the most expensive type and for this reason has not gained popularity. Curiously they claim titanate is low cost and will reduce the price, it must have come down dramatically.

[@TeslaCarWorld]

You're correct. It takes a lot of time and extensive experimentation to develop new batteries. We are all moving toward having a wide range of possibilities for making electric vehicle batteries without being overly reliant on lithium.

[@obuudeozo8978]

Marvellous ❤

[@breakhart]

silicon anode battery... so what is used for cathode? oh yea, lithium 😐

[@wombatillo]

Exactly. Idiotic clickbait title or the writers don't know what they're talking about.

[@ChrisMichals]

Last week it was salt, suddenly now it’s silicon…. I guess every week is a new fad. What’s it going to be next week….

[@brianperry4815]

Chris Funny how new tech on batteries are almost here. If sodium ion or graphene or even fuel celle which have been in dévelopement for over 10 years. Lithium ion batteries will go away like compact fluorescent bulbs lost to Led bulbs.

[@lmwlmw4468]

For now LTO is the near future, after that we will see...!!!

[@wombatillo]

LTO is too low in volumetric and gravimetric energy density for vehicles and its way too expensive for the mass market.

[@bricegardner-w2l]

Interesting stuff, if this isn't the battery breakthrough we need to get the world EV ready, there has to be something coming. I'm glad to see things pushing this way. Hydrocarbons are not an infinite resource, and we have to DIVERSIFY.

[@TeslaCarWorld]

Thanks, be more assured! You'll be even more surprised by advancements in the field of developing new batteries for electric vehicles!

[@brianperry4815]

Testa car world Why limit it to just cars? Houses are an even bigger market. Of course the power companies don't want that to happen.

[@tonylam9548]

Still quite a way short of the storage capacity of dino juice , I will not see a significant energy storage tech break through in my life time.

[@fynanceguy]

True, gasoline stores a lot of energy. If a gasoline car was as efficient as an electric car, the petroleum industry would have a stronger argument. Even with the added weight of the battery, the fastest truck is the Rivian with buttloads of torque. It beats out the Dodge TRX and Ford Raptor. Long haulers have an argument about pulling heavy loads though. What about being in contact with toxic pollutants either by pumping gas or walking down the street? Health? Noise? It would be nice to not have to listen to hundreds of thousands of gasoline cars spewing pollutants while I walk down a street.

[@BadBeat48]

This channel seems to make up announcements from Tesla and Elon Musk. Also they either fail to mention or gloss over the problems with the battery technologies they are discussing. For example, Lithium-Sulfur batteries have a rather poor cycle life and LTO batteries have a pathetic energy density.

[@TeslaCarWorld]

We always do our research using Elon Musk and Tesla's official information. Information is consistently focused on the future growth of the battery and electric vehicle production industries.

[@BadBeat48]

@@TeslaCarWorld Okay, maybe I'm wrong. Would you provide a link to where Elon Musk reveals a Silicon battery - LTO battery. I'd like to see or read the announcement straight from Elon.

how many amps ( at 220VAC ) required to charge the battery in 6 minutes ? ? ?

LTO batteries can handle high charge/discharge currents, fast charging to fully recharge in just 6 minutes with a cell voltage of 2.3V.

@@brianperry4815 I'd rather have batteries that are resistant to catching fire, charge faster, cheaper, more recyclable, and have lots of miles per charge, all of which the current aluminum ion batteries promise.

[@ragokueod]

I currently don't like the renewables industry but not for the reasons you might think. Take for example, electric cars. They use rare earth metals that the demand for causes irreparable damage and pollution to the environment through strip mining. This is happening in South America if you didn't know. Not only that, but no matter what you do you're going to cause things to be even worse when you plug in your electric vehicle to charge at night. That's because the likely source for the electricity is coal and natural gas. Far from renewable or sustainable, but believe it or not that's better than solar or wind power. Why? Because even though the energy source itself is "clean energy" the manufacturing process is quite dirty especially with wind components. I find it quite ironic that we need to find a sustainable way to produce energy but wind turbines still need oil to lubricate the moving parts for the turbine. Solar doesn't get a free pass from me either. Since the silicon used in the production of solar panels isn't removed or recycled when they're worn out. They're unceremoniously hauled to the nearest landfill. Which is exactly what happens to wind turbine blades after they're cut in half. Those that aren't hauled to a landfill are sent to concrete manufacturers and incinerated for electricity. Only problem with this is the air emissions from the incineration process is so toxic that it makes the EPA blush. So I fail to see the green in renewables. You might ask, how do I know this? I work in the wind industry. Truthfully, I'd love for us as a species to find more sustainable ways for energy without damaging the planet in the process. What that means to me is recycling 100% of any renewable electricity generated waste and finding a way to store excess energy so it can be used later when it's needed. I don't see that happening in my lifetime. Doesn't mean I don't believe in the vision I'm just skeptical of seeing it myself.

[@brianperry4815]

I understand your concern but thanks to modern tech that will be addressed. Australia has developed the way to recyclé any plastic back to basic material or fuel. Alot of landfills are being dug up to recyclé the garbage. 40 years ago you used to see scrap yards for miles. Not anymore. Like Éric was à dead lake now live has returned. I've heard stores from my grandfather of soot city from all the smoke stacks. No more.

[@HepCatJack]

Does this mean implants will be able to charge phones ?

[@TeslaCarWorld]

After it is validated. That is definitely feasible.

[@Mr.Mindset]

Good bye lithium and you are showing they will use it , wtf….

[@jr-pl9kj]

i hope some day a EV will be powered by 1 replaceable battery cell the size of a AA battery that you insert into a compartment on the dashboard, that gives 1000 miles of range and can be carried in your pocket and charged in less than 5 minutes with a usb charger on a table top next to your alarm clock.

[@waynetom9022]

Unlimited range will come!..in your lifetime!

[@paulbade3566]

It would be nice, but the laws of physics are not that generous. To get that kind of energy density, you'd need nuclear or anti-matter power. Unfortunately, the shielding would be much larger and heavier than the energy source. One of the most efficient EVs available today (Aptera) gets about 100 miles per KWh. A USB charger can put at most 100 Watt-hours into a battery in one hour. (20 V * 5 A, adaptive USB-C). You wouldn't go any further than 5/6th of a mile with five minutes on the most powerful USB charger. You'd be better off to get the solar cell option on the Aptera. There is some discussion of implementing a 240 Watt capability with USB-C, but that's asking a lot of that tiny connector.

[@jr-pl9kj]

@@paulbade3566 unless someone discovers a special material better than activated carbon, or something better than graphene that makes a single super capacitor store the voltages and energies needed to power a EV for the miles i gave in my early comment and gets instantly charged by a dc boost converter powered by a 1.5 volt AA battery. no dangerous nuclear crap needed, as far as i know electrolytic capacitors can store the voltages needed but not the capacities. if only i had a lab and was involved with scientists.

[@frankbarkman2575]

They have been working on using Thorium (a radioactive substance). It only gives off alpha radiation (stopped by a piece of paper) and can last 1000 years.

[@jr-pl9kj]

@@frankbarkman2575 thorium isnt a magic wonder material as most people are being led to believe, especially with that thorium powered car scam going around. thorium gives off all 3 ionizing radiations too just like any other radioactive substance.
