Nanotubes +ink +paper =instant battery (18)

Dip an ordinary piece of paper into ink infused with carbon nanotubes and silver nanowires, and it turns into a battery or supercapacitor. Crumple the piece of paper, and it still works. Stanford researcher Yi Cui sees many uses for this new way of storing electricity.

Very nice find iT, how hard is it to make the nano ink? Peace Rawbush

@Rawbush As far as I understand it's not such a difficult or complicated process, but it takes quite a bit of energy, and it seems that the carbon nano tubes need to have a certain shape. For now it seems that they can only use 10 percent from the nano tubes that they have produced. But I've posted some extra links in the more info box and at the end of the video and you can see exactly how nano tubes are being made. There seem to be several ways to do it. Greets my friend, iT

@llewgnal Hi Gary, You can say that again ! I've posted a link to a playlist with more videos with some interesting information about energy storage and carbon nano tube technology. The link is in the more info box and also at the end of the video.
