One wonders when the interest in career opportunities and new ventures began. Sorry to hear.

And, indeed, a photon appears to be such an object. A thing with a 'force-less momentum'. Which implies we are moving at the speed of light with respect to the CoM of the universe, and the photons are stationary. Of course they are, they're stationary in time, following a curved path around the cen...

So one of the outcomes is that if you were to find an object that has measurable momentum in your inertial frame but whose momentum cannot be altered by the application of any 'force' in your frame, then it is a truly stationary object. Hmm, well light would seem to have some of these properties. Y...

the fact I was referring to was That EMC2 stated their restriction came from the Navy. Fact: this was false. Fact: EMC2 has stated it is not interested in holding commercial rights. Outcome: EMC2 lacks probity on what it say. Sorry to be hard on this (Rick) but it is what has been said. The perfect...

Maybe yes. Maybe no. Suppose it validated the questions asked but also suggested other questions? I don’t want to leave people with the impression that everything on the WB-7 is identical to the WB-6. Something on WB-7 did not work the same as on WB-6. Whether that difference was on the to-be-valid...

Unless I missed something, WB7 was made to validate WB6, and only that, with a WB6 replica. So, scaling would remain to be tested no matter the results from WB7. As RN points out, WB8 was not on the roadmap. The original roadmap was straight to the big guy, the thinking being that a medium-sized de...

Is his comment in response to cristian perte and Alan's dialog: if the WB8 is meant to test scaling laws, does that not mean that the WB7 was definitely a success? Why even attempt testing scaling laws if the device is a failure? :) [ALAN ADDS: I agree with your analysis... Every indication is that ...

Well, he got more out of Rick than we have lately. Not much more, but things are clearer as to where they are ... one running, one being built, one being designed. Seems the same as what their website says. It's somewhat clearer where the design process is -- that they want to do a few side experim...

Surely they want people [potential investors] to believe they have something? Only if they want to milk the public. If you're aiming for first-mover advantage, you don't tell the public, you just talk to private investors. FWIW, I vote to leave them be. They don't want to have us know, well :shrug:...

I will make my way through the article in the coming days. My first impression is that this is a tiny little proof of concept. Way to early to make any predicitions at all on cycle and calendar lifetimes. Or any other predictions at all on at practical battery, really. What I saw wrt cycles did not...

This is very early work. In fact so early that a publication is hardly meaningful. A little proof of concept cell that have been cycled 20 cycles. Forget about it for the time being. LiS has been around/researched for awhile. This kind of energy density is pretty good, actually, given other LiS I'v...

MSimon suggested a rough working figure of 1 Wh/kg mi, which would mean that a car the size of a Smart ForTwo (curb weight 730kg) with one driver and stuff (figure 70kg) would need 80kWh for a range of 100mi. Pretty pessimistic. The Tesla is more like 1100-1200kg and gets a (very practical) 150mi r...

It is not the abundance, it is the hole it leaves when shut down, which it MUST be on occasion. That is a heck of a hole. Is that how it has to be? That is an interesting problem. Not to be an ITER apologist, but you could build the thing next to a large oil-shale deposit. There are probably other ...
