Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies and the Automotive Industry

[mphello]

I have worked on this problem of energy storage off and on since I worked on an electric car project in senior year in high school in 1981-1982. I am STILL stumped by it 30 years later. After seeing Watson on Jeopardy! this week, I wonder: why do SOME problems take so long to solve, yet, others - such as practicing to be a virtuoso violinist - can be done in 4 or 5 years?

I use the violin example (or any other "real-time" performance event) for comparison, because...

@mphello .. it forces me to think that certain human activities, such as playing virtuoso violin, while titillating and exciting, are not as hard as, for example, proving a mathematical conjecture which takes hundreds of years to figure out.

thanks to awesome presentation.

According to the overview, we have a only fraction of energy problem. but real issue is irvisuable.

Thank you for the talk.

Science and engineering have to be combined for practical applications. The talk well illustrated this point.
