 |  Re: The next revolution in battery technology?
What I really like is "10 times the amount of electricity of existing lithium-ion"!!!!  just as long as it's not 10 times the price! I currently fly a H9 Funtana X-100 on batteries and love how quite and responsive it flys! This discovery could only make that experience even better!  |

While this technology is will be great for modellers I think it could be wonderful for electric cars. Most electric cars have a range of 50-100 miles. Multiply that by 10 and you have a useful vehicle for most everyone and not just short commuters. Dan

Paffy, Are you saying "There's no free lunch"?  I guess we will have to wait a while before before deciding if they are user friendly! Like Semtex! Ira | ||||||||||||||||||

Oh great, Now every building superintendant with a 6th grade education, can operate their own nuclear reactor in the basement. Sounds like a plan. Ira | ||||||||||||||||||

| Re: The next revolution in battery technology?
Well its about time, but as i saw on NG Chanel it is quit a long time that they have this tech for use in cars, well, the problem is that the cars industry is filling kind of a threat from these electric innovations. I think it's a breath of fresh air to hear this news.

| Re: The next revolution in battery technology?
YEAH!!!! Way too cool!!!  Even if it takes a while for them to come up with high discharge cells for using in our electric powered models, I'd love to get a battery for my computer that lasts 10 times longer... Wow, how nice would that be!!
