    A new battery

    At the request of MF for an interesting post.

    I was so bored at 4am this morning (if you're a parent with little one who went to bed at 6pm the evening before you'll understand why I was up so early) I started reading about the chemical reactions that occur in battery (strictly speaking a cell).

    Italian physicist Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta invention continues to be the same principle in which today's batteries operate. This fascinated me. And it got me thinking about the need for change.

    So now I'm thinking about similar form factors for portable power but with one startling difference in mind. You can re-charge the cell to full capacity in seconds.

    I'll let you know how I get on...

      I look forwards to news of a large explosion in southern Germany.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        Hey - no progress without experimentation. My homemade bread maker did not turn out so well last year:

          I am happy your were reading something positive.
