1 lb of superheated metal holds as much energy as 10 lbs of batteries. A single pound of superheated iron, but still below melting point, would make a bike go 50 miles. Why iron? The worst thing that could happen if something went wrong is we breathe the oxidized material, and iron oxide is edible to humans, so it would be pretty safe. Simply force a drop of water into the chamber and use the steam produced to make power. Iron fuel rods instead of uranium fuel rods. I love this idea so much.

Thank you for the kind words The Gaming Pro Bro. Honestly I am not sure why it has not been commercialized yet. What I personally think is that the actual efficiency may not be that high. The silicon ‘thermal battery’ does have a high energy density compared to that of a lead acid battery for instance. Due to the thermal battery requiring energy conversions multiple times the actual efficiency may be low compared to currently commercialized systems. I am sure this technology will be tested further and if viable in terms of efficiency we might see it available on the commercial market. Although I did not answer your question fully, I do hope that provides some clarity.

@@ericfernandes3966 Thermal batteries (or energy storage) have been used for quite some time, with varying degrees of success. The main problem with earlier models, is that their operating temperatures were lower (typically in the 5-600deg C range) with didn't offer a large usable operating range. I've only been following alongside 1414deg, so I'll have to look into CCT, but, from what 1414 were stating, because they operate at such a high temperature, you still remain practical (with usable heat) through a MUCH larger cycle. For electricity for example, you need a lot of heat pressure to turn a turbine (or heat water to steam) The earlier models also had issues with longevity, as a lot of the salt solutions they were using were corrosive or abrasive. So the machines would wear out. I don't believe that to be an issue with 1414deg. Silicone is mined from quartz rock (and potentially sand and a bunch of other things) I can safely say we have enough of it (for a GOOD long while)

The over 1400℃ melting point of silicon is making it somewhat impractical. As the preferable working temperature of a steem turbing or a sterling engine made of steel is around 550℃. If there is a chemically stable material with a melting point above 400℃ but lower than 550℃, while having a high fusion heat. It will have more potential to be deployed in multiple forms of platforms, even maybe mobile usage. And... I think this is not efficient to store electricity. Electric batteries have an efficiency of more than 85%, but a steam turbine generator usually has no more than 50%. So turning electricity into heat and using the heat to generate electricity will make a lot of energy loss. However, if the heat directly comes from heat source. Either drained from the combustion chamber of fire power plant boilers, or from solar tower, or nuclear reactor, or a diesel burning heater on a mobile platform such as an AIP military submarine. It will have no such problem.

Ocean mining, using CURRENT technology, is 4x as expensive as earth mining. Fuel price is not what makes nuclear expensive, though. 4x would make the fuel's contribution to nuclear pricing go from 0.2¢/KWh to 0.8¢/KWh. At least we have fast spectrum reactors up and running, though they're closer to 2-4x re-use at the moment.

Same artist or inspired by kurzgesagt???

I was inspired by Kurzgesagt’s beautiful style. I’m currently busy discovering my own style as I don’t want to be a Kurzgesagt copycat.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't remember him talking about solar thermal specifically. Just the storage systems, but either way. With Thermal Energy Storage Systems, you can hold and recover that heat to produce electricity, at quite high efficiency rates. 1414degrees actually do it directly through a modified gas generator, that runs purely on super-heated air from the TESS. You can, ofc, use that heat for other uses directly, as well. Potentially, using it to heat furnaces and other high-energy intense applications too. Worldwide, heat energy actually out-weighs our use of electricity directly by quite a bit Regarding the way the heat is captured, there are many possible ways. Waste heat is one, that is very desirable. Recapturing energy you've used to use again is great. 1414deg are currently running this testing system with "SA Water" sewerage treatment plant. Burning the methane gas for energy, storing the heat and reusing later. Solar thermal is another. That's what 1414deg's pilot test plant will be exploring in the coming year. And the other proposed idea, is more traditional electric heating elements, to capture excess energy production (from renewables) to use at a more appropriate time. Least desirable imo, but still useful. TESS are designed to be used on the medium to large scale though. Unlikely we'll see domestic sized systems any time soon (not considering hydronic heaters, or hot water systems, as they're not electricity generation capable)

We dont have enough Silicon

Yes unfortunately we do not have an infinite amount of silicon. I wish I could get my hands on some theoretical efficiencies of these Thermal Silicon Batteries. It would be nice to know the total amount of Power that all of the Silicon would be able to generate.

silicon is the second most common elements on earth.... duh?

I’m confused by the comment. Can you please elaborate

@@GeniusEngineering try vaccum as insulator to store heat no transfer of solids necessary, heat will transfer through solid copper instantly inside vacuum towards cooler temperatures, nonetheless H2o boils at freezing temperatures. Use heat exchanger to transfer heat inside vacuum to water which is also in a vacuum and boils to cold steam then extract stored energy kinetically which also works as AC with benefit of generating electricity via steam turbine

Wow I haven’t thought of that. Thanks for elaborating Brian!
