energy independence, it's time to over-think your habits noobs!

The same group of scientists that invented the mp3 and mp4 format, the Fraunhofer ICT, has invented a new type of liquid battery called the "Redoxflow-battery", it uses a chemical principal of saving electric energy rather than using poisonous metals as in lead or lithium.

maybe we will be seeing a new Generation of batteries especially designed for cars in not so distant future.

Also many Tesla Private Investors have started to get cold feet and are smelling Govt sponsored profits by blackmailing the Company to put more effort into getting Govt loans or else.

Rumors have it, that due to withdrawing investments Teslar has trouble of financing the release of the new S-model.

You would think that they have it made in the current situation, but Govt and investors are doing the same stunt as in the past and throwing away the best opportunity the future industry has ever had in the past 10 years by trusting and betting on dead horses like GM and others.

Didn't hear any mention of the Redox Flow battery, or did I miss it.

See these videos for Redox Flow batteries.

thx, I didn't add redox  to the vid, because they are only in use at an industrial level. very large scaled

the great part of redox flow is, they charge 80% of it's energy input and are very efficient.

I'm waiting for a pocket sized application ^^

great post!

thanks for putting this one up.

if big oil weren't be partners with the auto makers, then things like this would have been EVERYWHERE by now...

as long as big oil controls the auto industry, we'll see ALL of these type companies FAIL .

we have to change the system

Peace :):)

First!
