I appreciate your efforts in trying to make these topics more, "consumable." I do like the nitty gritty to be mixed in though, like a spice. B/c its really neat stuff sometimes. For instance the mentioning of derivatives , from oil... I'll be honest, it wasn't until I had graduated from high school & was just learning on my own.. that I found that out. And it's mind blowing fact how much stuff comes from oil. And I'm close to the age of you guys, so I find it kinda sad, I went through public schooling & no science class teacher ever mentioned this fact at all.

Thanks for the presentation. Ten gallons of gasoline compared to a battery pack is an interesting comparison. One could also turn around and look at the process that got the gasoline and electricity into the vehicle. One can imagine the process for gasoline from well-head to gas station pump. For electricity, there is the old system where electricity is produced by a centralized power grid based on thermal turbines (coal, oil, gas, nuclear). All of the fuels require extensive handling and the generators waste a lot of heat energy. Renewable energy is developing a distributed system with dispersed sources of electricity. Electricity is distributed and stored as a network. Only electrons are transported. Terms like load shifting, smart grids, and battery based inertia control are the future. Think of electricity generated in California instantaneously charging a car in Phoenix.

Metal hydride sponge can safely store/release hydrogen for use in ICE or in fuel cells. Someone built a particle accelerator🤯,just to make their own metal hydride sponge, to power their converted ICE vehicle. Unfortunately not accessible to general public🤔. Fundamental issue with batteries are to do with the dead weight of the batteries itself, because, they have a constant mass, irrespective of being charged or not. DC is better for local utilization, since the ground terminal will be made redundant, along with other unnecessary safety devices(GFCI🤔).
@DaveBjornRapp2 ай бұрын
Um, actually I disagree with Robert Williams (a grumpy commenter) that battery electric vehicles haven't come on parity with gasoline. With ICE cars the energy source, like you said, is both the storage medium AND the fuel itself. With electricity the sources are rapidly converting from fossil fuels (coal, gas, and oil) to solar and wind. There are now 9 countries who generate 99%+ of their electric for no more cost than install, materials and maintenance... which ends up being way less than petro. The batteries are not part of that. They are just the storage medium, and you can go online RIGHT NOW and buy an EV that gets 400+ miles to the charge. Right now. Most ICE vehicles don't even get that much range. We're there guys.

Ok EVs are 80+% efficient which is why battery tech is so in demand and draws so much interest especially in industry. Battery density is still a bottleneck. Yes. However… Compared to combustion engines of all types not just passenger vehicles, the most efficiency we can get is less than 30%. Gasoline and oil -while easily transferable and transportable- must be used in larger amounts and so we put gallons of fuel in the tank. And the engines degrade quickly from the best efficiency that combustion tech can bring down to 12% efficiency or less. The older the engine gets the less efficient. It is Victorian tech after all. Been in use for a century and a half. Batteries are heavy and have been getting lighter. That has been the main efficiency gain. Other than lithium-ion. Few people remember how heavy cell phones were and how little they could do. Now they’re computers in our back pockets. And we are about to move to even small lighter tech which is already faster and far lighter and can do way more. Cars are doing the same thing. Teslas are the lightest weight EVs and Apteras already beat Tesla efficiency by a long shot. Of course it is not a giant mobile. But it is sleek. So hold their beers. Batteries are showing up and showing us how. Adelaide in Australia is 100% solar and battery run and it is not a small town at 1.4 million (just looked the population up). Guess how much A/C they use. So much. They have been getting hit with extreme heat. Climate woes getting worse. Pre-battery storage of solar energy, they were burning coal and still getting blackouts and frequent brownouts. Grid could not keep up. To antiquated and inefficient. Solar is not more efficient but the batteries are!

But, I don't underestimate the power of people in a survival situation. electric cars can be charged with solar. yah you are going to have to charge forever on a 300watt panel strapped to the roof. But there are many ways to achieve this. however, suck some gas from a car tank and put in yours. faster than, lets grab a ton of solar panels and wire them into my electric car. At the point it comes to survival, gas is probably high up on my list of things to get. Rant over.

Cells are the units that store electric power as chemicals in an electrolyte separating an anode from the cathode, which allow electrons to do work in a circuit when the anode and cathode are connected to that circuit. Batteries are more than one cells connected usually in series to increase the voltage available so that higher currents may be passed through the circuit. We usually buy cells, AA, button, etc., to put into our devices, often in multiple numbers to form a battery. Each type of cell has a nominal voltage and current output, measured in Volts, V, and Amperes A, and the energy of the cell is now often represented in terms of Watt-hours Wh. Wattage is the product of Volts x Amperes. For instance, a rechargeable lithium ion cell has a nominal voltage of 3.7V , and may have 500mAh, equivalent to half an Amp hour, giving it 1.85W of power for one hour. Usually, these cells are charged to 4.1-4.2Volts at a set current to prevent overheating during charging. It is considered that discharging below about 3 volts may damage the cell, so most devices and chargers have overcharge and over-discharge protection, and sometimes the temperature of the cell(s) may be monitored too. Different cell types and chemistries have different characteristics.
