Below is Prof.Yair Ein Eli from Israel’s Technion – Israel Institute of Science, has developed a silicon-based battery to compete with the zinc batteries in today’s hearing aids. His new batteries, fueled by sand, can last up to 6,000 hours and are perfect for both dry and humid conditions. source: Link I hope those new batteries wll be useful and cheap. If they like described above, it's gonna be a nice change.
I believe that Duracell and Energizer just got their asses handed to them. I think we still need nuclear batteries though.
If it's that good and lasts that long, I doubt it will be cheap. I do like the idea of this though, I always have troubles with the battery I have to put in my headphones to keep the bass runnin'. It lasts for about 3 days and then I have to put a new one in.. Also, the batteries we use now aren't that good for the environment and stuff, so I guess this is an improvement.
That sounds nice, it can last thousands of hours. Though I doubt I would use it for anything simply because it would be quite expensive. Nevertheless, a good day for technology.
c: I think that it would take a while before batteries like those would become cheap enough for high road prices... But like Alpha said, a great day for technology... Goodness knows what's going to happen next.
Hmm, if it does what it says on the package i'll be happy enough, the more effecient our technology becomes the more durable it will become and less waste will be created. Thumbs up basically. Woah, you want a portable device holding nuclear elements that can be sold to the public? Not only could that cause numerous security risks, but our own health would be negatively affected. I don't trust a 5 year old with a current battery, let alone one filled with plutonium in it.
Naw, that was a joke. But think of the infinite energy that could come from a nuclear battery. How about fuel cell batteries? Anyone?
made by sand, huh? are they refillable? not gonna be cheap and they can't make this for psp and ds? wow.
