One day all these great battery technologies will come to fruition. I think batteries are pretty good at the moment as I can remember when carbon based batteries were the norm. My very early battery powered drill/screwdriver uses Cadmium based batteries and after many years of good service it is definitely getting to the end of it's life. It is unlikely I will be able to get a replacement battery, but who wants to. I am going to get one of these new-fangled Li-Ion battery powered drill/screwdrivers, possibly with 50 Nm torque. No more battery memory effects for me.

Wow, that is like a miniaturised version of the distributed generation system that countrywide grid systems are moving towards.

Kind regards.

It sounds like a great idea. But I hope they know the difference between hydrogen atoms and hydrogen molecules.

a water molecule touches the outer metal skin of the battery, that molecule is split into its key components, one oxygen molecule, and two hydrogen molecules

(1 water molecule = H2O = 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom)
