Revolutionary designs for energy alternatives: Lonnie Johnson at TEDxAtlanta

[@barbaramazer2093]

Why are Lonnie Johnson's JTEC and battery inventions not front page news we've all heard about? This is HUGE!

[@morpheusx2233]

+Barbara Mazer because he is a black man ..........just like dr oyibo who presented the universal theorem gij,j=0 gagut ........ and many others ...... no doubt some European will be held up in the media and intellectual circles as the one .....

[@markschellins4644]

He is a black man.... its enough that our masculinity bothers white men ,now they dont want people to know we are smart too lol

[@1canospam]

you said because he is a black man...what utter bullshit.

[@morpheusx2233]

jesse Russell invented the cellphone and network dr mark dean developed he first pc at ibm and has 4 patents emit mc henry developed internet first to provide domaine names created the dot com dr emigwali developed internet by being the first person to link computers around the world invented formula to perform 3 billion calculations per second first individual person to receive the Gordon bell prize for computing and and and do you know of these great scientists ? no they are the fathers of the information age ...... but you have not heard of them ..but they made a movie about steve jobs a white man ..who has done nothing compared to these great minds ........... for those who read this .. we all know what it is .... it is this fool above who is talking utter bullshit .

[@jamesinfante1547]

Morpheus x what fool ru referring to?

[@hopeinchristthesaviour4826]

great talk. of course backed up with some serious action. this guy is the real deal. inspiring to me as an engineer. this is definitely a game changer. hope you get this technology commercialized soon. wow! and thanks to the supersoaker :-)

[@growwithralph3658]

New ways to produce electricity and new batteries to store it in; Lonnie Johnson is a one man technological show. A real powerhouse. Thank you sir for helping to change the world!

[@LOLO-jj2by]

Dr. Johnson the most intelligent man on the planet Thank you Dr. JOHNSON

[@wildcard5269]

Thank you Thank you One of thee best moments of my life was meeting you at the JFK Library in Massachusetts.

[@AverageSubscriber17]

After researching him for a project, this guy just became my new idol.

[@TheParachaz]

Is there an update to this talk?, showing what advances he has made since this talk?. I don’t care of his colour and nor should anyone else. This man is showing that he has the brains and the determination to make things happen, and boy do we need it to happen! This is one man that I will follow because I for one, need assurance that we ARE doing something for our children and this planets future.

[@j.munenekingdom28]

Why is the mainstream media don't talk about Mr.Jonshon? This is very big news. God bless you sir.

[@mariasantiago7259]

Well we see 11 of the people that gave him a thumbs down all the people that are really prejudiced to the point they would rather shoot themselves in the foot before they enjoy and embrace and most importantly acknowledge this man success!

[@Patton640]

Imagine being his daughter. But she has a brilliant point in a global sense. The sun does shine everywhere, & if we could work together we could be globally efficient

[@jaymiew3389]

Absolutely amazing sir. I can't wait till your projects are available. Good day to you sir.

[@jwestney2859]

14:23 Looks like this battery is called a "lithium ceramic battery" and also called JBT battery. I will try to learn more about these. I am writing this in 2019. I hope there has been more news since this TED Talk in 2014. Sounds exciting!

[@TheBhumbak]

6:12 this deserved a lot more applauds for revolutionizing media industry

[@DaveAfterTomorrow]

So simple so brilliant!

[@carolyn9237]

he is one of the coolest people of all time

[@joshuahurley5910]

GREAT VIDEO. Thank you for the insight.

[@fullnelsontv721]

This guy is a genius. I sure hope the Oil Monopolies don't kill him, like they did Stanley Meyers. Less than 20,000 people have viewed this video to date. Makes me sad, knowing silly cat videos and what the latest Washington D.C. gossip is, get ten times this amount of views in a single day.

[@MrTurdFurgeson]

Lonnie doesn't need views. He's worth upward of $300 million USD due to the Super Soaker. Once its ready for mass production, he certainly has the wealth to make it happen.

[@IM.o.s.e.s.I]

Exactly 😕

[@gein2287]

5 years ago. Where is this now?

[@danhmedina2187]

this guy just saved the world.. wtf?

[@Brainbuster]

This video has been up for three years and has only 20,000 views?

[@yawkwamepoku2292]

As a science educator Lonnie and Manoj are two people my students learn about every year!

[@Officialgigaquad]

How can I invest in your company and ideas?

[@const6134]

Amazing ideas!

[@gein2287]

Only 32k? This is the most important man in the world.

[@ja3679]

Shall buy my grandson a supersoaker as the profits will go to a good cause!!

[@davidwoods461]

I wish there was an investment opportunity here for us.

[@jamesinfante1547]

The most efficient low cost non-toxic batteries ever invented that will change the world gets 34 comments.

[@PiousSlayer]

Only 20k views as well, so sad. Lonnie is awesome.

[@akj7]

Funny how videos about sex get more views and unlimited comments than this.

[@PiousSlayer]

Pretty sure KZbin's algorithm helps those types of videos out more, too. =p

[@mitchb2886]

James Infante because it has nothing to do with drama

[@ericamartin7973]

yay!

[@Emmanuel-ti6ym]

Perhaps his skin complexion is the reason why this Genius of a Man doesn't receive the notoriety that Tesla, Edison or Einstein did.

[@beccaprice7064]

im doing black history project on him

[@ThaMidwestBrutha]

The oil industry will not let him stop their money n trust me it will definitely hurt their business so they wont let him put this out "unless they can capitalize off of it."

[@vavmag]

This is amazing

[@kingsaunders60]

After watching this I hope he stay safe, cuz once this began becoming to get successful I fear for his lyfe... This will eliminate and or lower Electric and gas bills...

[@andjelatatarovic8309]

Is this similar to Ambri?

[@tonylyons7807]

Wonderful

[@offilawnoone9020]

Three years later. Where is he now?

[@lunaticzellot7792]

That game changer animated graph reminds me of the infinity symbol or the yin yang.

[@TheWinwin4all]

Any good news? Can we invest in his company? Is it still going? It is 2020 already

[@tadair2004]

The powers in charge will never allow any of this to see the light of day. And why?!?! Surely they must realize their kids and our kids are going to need a world to live in. This one time can't we forget about quarterly profits and do the right thing for the generations to follow? Please and Thank You!

[@jankowalski2234]

Hi Dave :-)

[@jonobbas20]

I am a fan of Nerf dart guns for tha past 5 years. Now for Jhonson too.

[@CoruscantMe]

Lonnie should learn about the Kapandze devices... could bypass the battery need altogether...

[@Kiyarose3999]

Brilliant

[@themonitoringgroup2307]

Check out Raye montegue and Marian croak ATAT respect

[@borisavkarlicic2335]

Pa kad ce ta tehnologija biti dostupna .

[@godsownlunatics9650]

Dinosaurs didn't look up the way humans do

[@MoreToConsider]

Still no venture capitalist money pouring in what a shame.

[@k-mar9587]

if all this works, why doesnt he build it? i dont get the problem.

[@carl1095]

Lack of funds/funding

[@k-mar9587]

+Carl Darl Hey Carl, I wish that would, be it, if this would work it would be a licence to print money. If he can't find people to invest in it, he could make it open source and at least safe mankind. I personaly believe in molten salt reactors, but still hope for any other energy source that would work and noth have huge down sides like wind or solar. We need a new kind energy for everything not just electricity. Well if this works please Lonnie become a world hero and save us!

[@carl1095]

+K- Mar It's people like Lonnie that need a gofundme page. I would certainly donate my last dollar to projects like his.

[@porrsmurfen]

+Carl Darl Lonnie Johnson was awarded 73 million dollars in 2013 over a royalty dispute with a company called Hasbro Inc, and so money is clearly not the issue for his technology. More likely it simply suffers from some downfalls that are hard to address in practical applications (i.e. it works great on paper, but less so in the real world). Cooling for instance; i.e. the end of the device that isn't being actively heated needs to be kept below a specific temperature for the H1 atoms to turn back into H2 molecules - is a pretty serious impairment to the efficiency of the design. That's not to say that the technology is useless, but if the device is allowed to heat beyond a certain point it will cease to produce energy (because all of the hydrogen will be in the form of H1 atoms), and in the worst case scenario the device explodes from excessive thermal pressure which would be very, very, bad news for anyone and anything standing near it (cuz you know, hydrogen mixed with air is extremely friggin explosive). Nonetheless it'll be interesting to see where this technology leads.

[@k-mar9587]

It is very interesting, too bad there is so little details about it online. For now I think the further development of nuclear reactors (4th gen) is the most promissing.

[@wheelmanjosh1982]

I keep on hearing about these revolutionary batteries that are supposed to be coming out, but they have not materialized.Would be wonderful, but make it happen and stop talking.

[@benwyse]

Wheelman Josh Stop waiting and start building your own, Big Mouth! Lol!!!!

[@wheelmanjosh1982]

Bahiminin Dah Touché! lol

[@benwyse]

Wheelman Josh Hey Josh! Tu parles français? (Do you speak French) Lol!!! Somehow, you are right, but you have to understand that a lot of good projects get killed because they threaten some big interests - old and well established industries. For example, Tesla invented wireless transmission of electricity by tapping into the earth grid, almost at the same time he invented the alternative current, but tell me where we are with it a century later. Have a good night. Nice to meet you!

[@ButtersDClown]

He was losing me til he started shooting people

[@grindjunction6315]

I hope has a wife and lots of children.
