Externet Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hi. If works in a vehicle; where else is it being used to generate energy ? ----> https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2739768/The-sports-car-runs-SALTWATER-Vehicle-goes-0-60mph-2-8-seconds-just-approved-EU-roads.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) I really wish you hadn't posted a link to that rag Here is a report from a slightly more reputable news source: http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20161010-driving-the-saltwater-sports-car And: https://www.theskepticsguide.org/salt-water-car-not-so-fast Here is the Wikipedia age on the technology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NanoFlowcell Sounds rather implausible (and the "saltwater" claim of the Daily Scum is just stupid).

Externet Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Thanks. OK, not salty water, but a chemicals soup. If it works, and if creating the soup does not take more energy to produce than it delivers. And refills would mean also collection of the 'spent' soup. I would guess that if such technology was developed, the first products would be not in a vehicle but standalone generators... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country Boy Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) "Conservation of energy": you can't get energy out of something that does not already have energy already in it. Oil, and gasoline, have energy "trapped" in its molecules. So does wood or anything that burns. Water, even seawater, does not. As for a "chemical soup", isn't that what oil is?

Silvestru Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 This company is such a hoax. The gullible people who invest in NanoFlowcell are also likely to buy volcano insurance in Florida. None of the prototipes work or work as advertised. But ofc it doesn't stop the media to deify their bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is claiming it produces more energy that it takes to produce? That's really not an expected attribute of a battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistermack Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 It's got "Con" written all over it. Five times the power to weight ratio of lithium Ion??? A modest little claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
