Super-thin Graphene Means Super Power

[@randytravis5893]

OK! You asked for it.Did you know about graphene super capacitors? Robert Murry Smith has made a mega ferret super capacitor the size of a phone book, and they don't wear out like rechargeable batteries. 2 of these can hold all the power a house uses In a day. That is a huge amount of power storage. Now the wonderful thing about these super capacitors is that they are no were close to being perfected, so even much higher power storage is possible, more than 10x more is possible in the same space. Now the important part. Electricty is a difficult product to deal with. Oil you can store in tanks, coal can just sit out on the ground in piles, but electricity must be used instantly or it is lost! With this advent of graphene super capacitors, vast amount of electric energy can be stored for years on end. Oil will be a thing of the past, because graphene super capacitor batteries will hold 10 to 100 times more energy per pound than gas. Here is another kicker. Energy must still be generated, but there are vast amounts of energy available that could pervide all of the worlds energy needs right now with out any pollution. Ice land has enough easy geo thermal and hydro to power the entire world. If you convert old oil tankers and cargo container ships to carry giant cargo container sized graphene super capacitors, one ship could power a large city for several weeks with zero carbon emission and for pennys on the dollars compared to burning fossil fules or nucular power. America even has a huge easly accesable thermal power source, yellow stone national park, a vast volcano. It could be the new Saudi Arabia of the world for cheap easy power and it would make America rich. Want to change the world for the better? Bring this information to light, inspire people to push this idea, shipping is already being used with oil, why not use the same system with electricity?Imagine China with no smog, imagin no air pollution, no climate change, and it costs less money and we are no longer supporting countries that support terrorism. Ask Robert Murry Smith, he is a leading researcher in graphene, he would be happy to talk to you, I speak with him all the time on his channel and he loves to inform people on the manufacturing of graphene and its uses.Randy.

[@doodelay]

Cool art project for graphene: 1. Take some graphene and layer sheets of it so that the layers are as close to one another as possible without touching. 2. Next, run an electric current through the graphene so that all the layers produce their own electric field. 3. Then twist the graphene into a spiral or cylinder, the graphene should then look similar to a rope and the magnetic field will twist with it. Make the graphene spiral very long, about 50 meters. 4. Lastly, throw thousands of small aluminum balls at the graphene spiral and watch them all orbit the twisting spire like a tornado. It'll be very cool. And if you want to do something large scale and practical, create thousands of graphene sheets that are each half a mile long and 20 miles high. Then take them to the arctic and place them around the arctic continent like a chainlink fence. This will slow the arctic ice melt dramatically as the graphene will stop most of the salt and other material from eroding away the ice below the water. The graphene is strong enough to handle the accumulation loads as the graphene inadvertently becomes a semipermeable membrane that allows water molecules through but keeps the larger salt crystals out.

No William. You are speaking of current technology and did not mention that the graphene technology is growing at exponential rates. There are several countries and research groups around the globe who are working on producing large sheets of graphene and with that effort they will surely be successful in short order.

[@JonathanFosdickNano]

Graphene *is* where it's at!! I have been tinkering around with it for years and making it every way I can.

[@BenCollinsDigital]

The most exciting thing about graphene is that I have some now. Super high quality graphene 1-3 layer flake powder. I've been experimenting with different things and setting up partnerships to see what it can really do. The main thing is that the price is coming down and I expect it to be below $1 a gram in the near future. And a little bit of this stuff goes a long way. I can say, it's a strange and fascinating material to handle. It seems otherworldly a little. One thing that is interesting is that in the UK, there is some frustration with large company CEOs who are not taking advantage of the University of Manchester's discovery and creating companies and products. It's a wonder material that is getting easier and easier to make yet no one wants to take the risk of investing in R&D, marketing, etc, except for a few bold ones: Skeleton Tech is making and selling graphene super capacitors. Also, they have apparently landed some kind of military contract for partly powering an unmanned vehicle. I've seen oil cleanup sponges with graphene that look VERY promising. Sunvault is doing some interesting things for sure including solar+battery units and a concept car that will have 1000 pounds of torque. I have a couple ideas I am working on and I can't wait to find out where it can really be put to use!

+Golden Waffles Yes, for example powerful and cheap lightweight batteries that disrupt the market. Although Skeleton Tech is doing great things, Angstrom Materials, and a few others, there isn't wild enough profits for less-than-innovative, slow-moving companies to decide they want to invest in the technology. Also, you know what? As amazing as graphene truly is, it's not that straightforward to apply it to the marketplace quickly and at scale, no matter how awesome its properties might be.

A number of years ago GE, researching and testing ways to mass produce Graphene effectively. It would be the basis of new building materials and the like. They accidentally found that it could hold an electrical charge. So these engineers went to work on it and found that just a few sheets of Graphene could make a super-capacitor with the storage potential of a LiPo battery but the fast charge and discharge of a conventional capacitor. It is almost superconducting allowing it to handle vat sum of power. If the models are correct these "Graphene supercapacitors" (google the term), they can handle electricity almost like a sponge can handle water. As it is, GE has a real target for their research into Graphene. A technology that might render batteries, as we know them, obsolete. "We can build anything. We just need to figure out how to power it." With this we can build quite a few more things.

[@hewhoisknownastaco]

+DocWolph I heard something along those lines as well. Except I had heard that it utilized the carbon nanotube aspect of graphene. I have no freakin' idea how though.

[@DocWolph]

hewhoisknownastaco When Carbon Nanotubes were invented, electrical energy storage was one consideration, although it almost immediately turned to making Carbon Nanotube wires, to carry electricity, effectively as a superconductor, instead of storage.

[@hewhoisknownastaco]

DocWolph Dang. Why aren't they making batteries out of the nanotubes? I thought they projected it would store like a thousand times more power than lithium ion batteries of the same size.

[@DocWolph]

hewhoisknownastaco You got me. Maybe they are afraid that this stuff, if handled poorly, could be the new Asbestos, causing all sorts of health problems. Being atm thick sheets and pieces, CNT and Graphene and cut molecular bonds causing all sorts of problems in living creatures. Much like how Asbestos is basically powdered glass in clothe form can tear up lungs if inhaled. So GE, and any others working on it, are working more on keeping it safely contained during manufacture and use. Meanwhile, they tell us that it really hard to make, which I wouldn't doubt either, just so people aren't afraid of the stuff when they are finally ready to bring it to market.

[@hewhoisknownastaco]

DocWolph That's a good point. I never thought about the health risk, but you're right I definitely wouldn't want to breathe in a rogue piece of graphene.

If you really want an education on practical graphene then try this PhD Robert Murray Smith's channel He wrote a book on it and has worked with carbon for years and shows how to make it at home and some ways to apply it and even make a killer super capacitor. The coolest thing I think about graphene is filtering the hydrogen out of the air, and using graphene in a fuel cell instead of platinum. Sunvault and Smith are talking an Electric car using graphene to store the power, and a few gallons of water as a fuel. Graphene is beyond peoples wildest dreams in what it is like and can do and is virtually everywhere, since it is just carbon. It is many times harder than diamonds for example but lighter than air. 100-200 times stronger than steel. Conducts heat 6-12 times better than copper. Conducts electricity many times better than copper, and on and on it goes. How about graphene paint, inks, tires, car bodies, solar cells, or in the body to find and kill cancer cells. Graphene, nano tubes, and C60 are all carbon and closely related. C60 which is a single molecule of carbon is something else in the body all by itself. When mixed up with olive oil and given to mice they lived much longer than normal and none developed cancers. Other mice when given it in water became very very resistant to radiation damage and death, from lethal dosages of radiation. Want to reduce friction down to almost zero try nano diamonds plus graphene. It is a very big subject and getting bigger every day as every country on earth wants in this game. China currently holds about 33% of the worlds patents on it. This is going to be fun LOL

[@JonathanFosdickNano]

A room-temperature superconducting wire would be a game changer. That is why many researchers also are working with using light. Certain nanowires are ballistic conductors in which electrons are only allowed to travel in an one-dimensional line, and by keeping the electricity flowing this way removes resistance since resistance is where the electrons bounce off atoms and loose energy changing directions and vibrating the atoms as heat. Most materials will increase resistance when the heat increases, but not graphene. Adding lithium into the voids between the rings of carbon onto one side of a sheet of graphene under low temperatures (to keep the single lithium atoms in place) is how the researchers were able to make graphene superconducting.

The coolest thing I know is that you can use graphene to filter different elements very efficiently, and I don't know if you know about Molten Salt Reactors there basically a safer cleaner fission reactors. Anyway with graphene you can pull out fission products with minimal effort meaning 2 things the cost of the plant goes WAY down as in an MSR (Molten Salt Reactor) your main operating cost is filtering out the fission products so it means cheaper running costs. The second is that a lot of these fission products are very useful and if you are already filtering them individually you can get these fission products without adding any cost to running the reactor, in fact because you would be able to sell the fission products it would actually increase the profitability of the plant.

[@davidcadman4468]

heard that the US Dept of Defense has experimented successfully with filtering blood contaminated with biological and chemical weapons... now that is a military battlefield app... but as a senior citizen with 44% effective use of his kidneys, this obviously attracted my attention as a replacement for a kidney transplant, or stem cell created kidney... the other thing I like about Graphene, is that it can be worked at the nano level as described in the video... and I'm looking for applications in Brain Neuro Lace and eventually a Full Body Neuro Mesh... along with convergence with AGI, Stem Cell and DNA Crispr Gene Splicing... leading to Regenerative Stem Cell Therapies at the NanoBot scale by 2045 or before... Eric Drexler has suggested that graphene at the nano scale could be useful as making nano scale cpu/gpu for nano bots... this could serve to augment our biological immune system to protect against genetic diseases of aging...

[@jason9559]

The coolest possible use for graphene imo, is using them as nano sized receivers for nano bots, making their creation much easier since they wouldn't need to carry around a micro sized receivers in order to communicate with the controller and each other.

Jonathan Fosdick do you do any experimenting yourself I grinded up pencil led other day with wet towel salt and illuminum foil other day tested it with my meter and the voltage was all over the place. I just slapped it together just curious what if any the difference would be compared to a salt battery it was weird.

[@JonathanFosdickNano]

captain42979 Yes I do! I've been experimenting with making graphene (and other various nanomaterials) for over four years now. Graphene is rather difficult separating out of graphite and I have tried a dozen methods and have a few ways I use regulary. By grinding up pencil lead, this produces some graphene powder with few layers (~1-2% of the total weight) and by grinding up the pencil lead this increases the surface area of the graphite, which will significantly boost battery performance and capacity. Just by having only a few percent of graphene in graphite powder will noticibly increase conductivity and energy capacity. The science of improving batteries and supercapacitors is an intense, complex and ever evolving field.

[@JonathanFosdickNano]

captain42979 Also, the salt ions will have more areas to bind to along the exposed graphene edges, and having some graphite with the graphene will allow these charge-carrying ions to become sandwiched in between the layers in the graphite particles. Even the clay (which is used as a binder in pencil lead) will help in holding the particles, but too much will hinder a battery's overall performance. Are you using ordinary table salt? If so, the sodium ions will be the ones that are loading and transferring charge. The chlorine ions however will react with the aluminum and diminish the surface charge transfer ability some and may corrode the foil over time.

I have a lot of other things to work.

[@Etheoma]

I would like to point out that if you make graphene sheets large enough you could make graphite with a lot of the qualities of Graphene as the larger the size of the graphene sheets the more friction between the sheets at a certain point you would get the same or greater force binding the sheets together than is between the carbon atoms in the graphene at least for tensile strength.

[@balanpalaniappan2393]

The magnetic field produced due to current flow delays the current itself. You have mentioned that super conductors may be ejecting magnetic field and that is how they are able to eliminate the loss, but I feel the other way around. Normal conductors produce magnetic field and, I think, this magnetic field in addition to delaying the current also influences the way electrons move and thus cause the loss. If magnetic field is contained and thus having no influence on electron movement, the loss may disappear.

Composite materials got to be it. Researchers made abs + cf + graphene mix which functions as ballistic armor. Yes, you read that right: Ballistic armor. Super light weight, super strong, stupid easy to make as it is made from flakes / powder of the stuff. Epoxy resin strength can be manipulated with graphene as well, you can make it double the strength, or go further and you can make super tough material. Combine this with Carbon Fiber? :) Another ABS + Graphene test yielded plastic which can take insane temperatures: They used blow torch on the stuff, and ABS normally melts at around 200C! (Glass transition even lower). Insane i know! Other more mundane uses are conductive (both electrical and thermal) paints, glues, pastes. Stupid simple to make too. Lubricant: Some research shows as high as 7% better mileage on cars, while making 4% more power! Motorsports teams are experimenting using it as other lubricants as well, the rumor is with extremely good success. Heatpipes: Efficiency of a heatpipe increased tremendously with added graphene. Electronics heat sink paste: Same thing here too (beware of fakes tho!) Many of the effects are achieved with surprisingly tiny amounts too, the engine oil for example needed only milligrams of the stuff per liter. Yea, milligrams! Epoxy resin research used 1.5-6% by volume... Which is stupid hard to measure. I'd be guessing something like 0.15-0.6% by weight... I might be off by order of magnitude here tho. That research would have benefited from looking into smaller and larger quantities as well.

They just need to make big enough sheets and cheaply.

[@rudolfdoelker5773]

It's added to the jabs and from your info I learned how people jabed are becoming magnetic. By adding lithium at extremely low temperatures the reason as to why these jabs needs to by kept at low temps

[@vanessasaintvil3761]

Did you know you can make solar panles that can keep energney for rain day

[@Dxpress_]

That's... Kind of the whole purpose of solar panels. Convert light energy from the sun into usable electricity which is usually stored in a battery before being used.

[@NAL63]

Hello have you heard of Sunvault Energy, they use a form of graphene which just happens to be perfect for super capacitors. They are getting such good results they changed the name from graphene super capacitor to graphene EESD Electric Energy Storage Device. The EESD will be showcased in a new electric hybrid super car called, The Edison Electron 1, which will hopefully make it to market in early 2016. This vehicle may travel a distance of maybe 500 Km then recharge while driving with an on-board graphene fuel cell in about 5 minutes, then continuing on for maybe 450 Km and then recharge again and continue on for 450 Km and on and on.... This makes it possible for electric semi trucks and vehicles, of all sizes to travel for any long range destinations Check out the videos by Robert Murray Smith

[@jhendricks203]

1-Water via desalination filters, 2-clean coal with graphene emission filter, 3-total automotive revolution with graphene batteries, the list in endless. pls go on....

[@Interesthings]

Hello, great video! May I use clips from this if I attribute you? I make science and technology news videos and the video will be Copyright free and I make no money off of them.Thank you!

[@liamduncan09]

Reradiating from the moon it is cold up there so Graphene would make excellent panels to collect solar energy and then Microwave it down to earth?

[@axeonvonshadow539]

isn't graphite or something supposed to be bullet proof, someone told that it was and that it was a super conducter

[@ErasedFromExistance]

+Spectral Rain Anything is bullet proof when there's a thick enough layer of it...

[@axeonvonshadow539]

***** the someone made it sound like you would need an extremely small amount and it would be light wieght, they talked about bullet proof skin, and i just remembered that is was from a game theory video and another science/theory channel called beyound science.

[@mygoldpublishing]

I am research on graphane, do anyone research on it. ? please connect with me

[@olivermorgan495]

They need to make graphed micro lattice

[@tutorials4you418]

could you talk next time about Time Travel?

[@SlipKnotRicky]

What about a Graphene/Metal Alloy?

[@JWQweqOPDH]

+SlipKnotRicky Dude, what did you think they were talking about in the video? Lithium is a metal. If you were thinking of putting small pieces of graphene in a large mass of metal, that wouldn't work. A superconductor either works or it doesn't, and if you surround it with a normal conductor, none of the electricity will pass through the normal conductor anyways, making it a waste.

[@SlipKnotRicky]

JWQweqOPDH Like yo dude, I am referring to structural (think tensile strength) uses of metal, not superconductor uses. I was under the impression that at the end of the video he solicited input regarding different applications of graphene. My response was expanding beyond superconductor applications.

[@JWQweqOPDH]

SlipKnotRicky That would make sense if graphene wasn't a much better structural material for cables than metal.

[@SlipKnotRicky]

JWQweqOPDH Where is it being used right now for structural applications?

[@JWQweqOPDH]

SlipKnotRicky It's too difficult to make in large pieces, and if you use many small pieces then you have graphite and they just slide apart. It's the same thing with carbon nanotubes because the two are the same thing but one is rolled and connected to itself.

[@chriscunicelli7070]

I want to know when we will see a real breakthrough in battery tech from Graphene. This problem holds mankind back from real steps forward because it offers us the potential to store renewable energy for use at a later time. I want to know when the next generation battery will be available and more about its impact on modern society.

[@TaigaXsenpai]

its funny that the best solutions are often nearby us ;D

[@ultimatesolution4970]

Futuristic battery will be that battery when we will be able to invent a battery that doesn't need to charge for 30 to 40 years. And we can install it in our electric cars, bike, house, industry, building etc. And we will not have to pay electric bills for 30 to 40 years. Also it will be pollution less. This will be amazing. This is the future of battery technology. Please don't underestimate this idea. Because nothing is impossible in science. Let's science fiction comes true. But my question is "Is there any electrochemical property of grapheme so we can build a battery like this using this material?".

[@tspriggsabq]

So why not make a superconducting skating rink?

[@AlfredMorgan]

+Tim Spriggs Because ice is cheaper.

[@tspriggsabq]

Alfred Morgan yeah , of course.

[@ak-lo4in]

update on graphene

[@illianfulton588]

what if people put electricity lines under the road and hoverboards just had magnets on the bottom?

[@philliplopez8745]

I suspect that the battery is not the future of energy storage . Graphene capacitors are the future .

[@stevenos100]

Is this bubble memory?

[@RichardAlsenz]

I suspect it will be used as memory storage but the computers will be functioning as an electromagnetic wave guide processors. In fact, I strongly suspect that an analogue version will evolve because the analogue computers will then be able to solve differential equations which are not and never will be solvable by humans nor by digital computers. The cryptology will ultimately be perfected by the analogue computer. The reason is because the analogue computer can solve problems which humans will never be able to resolve, at speeds not possible by digital computation:?) Bucky, "time is calculated by Mother Nature and she does not use pi to calculate".

[@TheMamaluigi300]

I was disappointed that the material doesn't give you super powers

[@mikesherms.623]

Did he just say hover boards? Well better start saving money if I want to get one 😆

[@yaserdavidcruzdelgado182]

Coolest thing I heard about graphene is that it can absorb radionuclides!!!

[@TheMultipower47]

Superconductor = Overclocker's dream

[@kayinolatunji7394]

+Some Guy on a Computer Yeah but there will be no more overclockers. A dead community thanks to graphene

[@gurungmadan]

i can already imagine playing crysis 3 at 500+ fps 4k ultra max

[@ryankaminski6037]

Its so exciting that Graphene is not economically plausible for any purpose beyond lab testing currently and therefore will never benefit from its uses as consumers!

[@stevenmontalvo3462]

Graphene Armor that can stop a bullet :D that could possibly one day give us bullet proof skin

[@deadlyslayer271]

it can stop more than a bullet but it is limited in strength as I'm a railgun may go through it possibly

[@stevebirks2186]

Ah but a driver & a conductor are two different job descriptions - still a good pun !!!
