Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

It was always just a matter of time. Cool to see they might have something that seems promising. :) 

they just might! I hope we finally have an answer. it's been too long. like 20 years since lithium ion first became a thing?

well just like they said in the thread, another tech that will be another 10 years of forever. i hope its not and that this gets into a car asap but i doubt it :(

It's highly unlikely that'll happen, and even then, it's unlikely to deliver any promises without huge drawbacks.

I agree with you two, but so far this honestly seems the most promising out of everything that's come up before.

how it handles charging and how many charge cycles it can endure is the only question left really.

And discharge rate, how many amps it can put out might be a limiting factor too

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

They'll probably throw smaller batches at Hobby Truck racers for experimentation. (That would be awesome actually, too bad I'm no longer into that. Part of me misses the Traxxas Slash I had but I hadn't run that since 2013 so thats why I sold it )

if this is successful, I would love to see battery packs that are bolt-in replacements for fuel tanks in existing cars.

Guys I think they actually did it....

 

 

@MEC-777 @vinyldash303 @chaozbandit

 

As soon as this gets put in a single production vehicle the one argument will be done with. You could totally roadtrip with 10x the energy density of lithium ion

Call me a cynic, but I've seen news about major advancements in batteries more than a few times in the last 5 or so years; yet none of them have made any real difference to the commercial market. 

 

Wake me when it actually becomes a thing.

 

Dont get me wrong, I'd love to see EVs with a 500+ mile range, I just have so rarely seen quantum leaps in any industry like a 10x energy density.

That would require an engine swap too wouldnt it? I think most people would opt for a new car since Battery + Electric Motor would theoretically cost more than some car's values on the road today (much less ten years from now)

I've heard that about graphene, fusion, lithium, and if you go back far enough, even fission. 

 

Again, wake me when it's commercially viable.

ditto. i'm really not a fan of all the manufacturer's pushing to electrifying everything. i think i'd prefer fuel cell vehicles tbh instead of electricity if i had to choose a "green" form of car transportation. i still wished we could develop a synthetic clean gasoline instead so we wouldn't need to overhaul how our cars work.

naw.. I don't care enough about tail lights to change them... but wheels/tire, oh yes... but preferably with a small lift... and some skidplates on the important bits... then do stupid stuff with it :D

hydrogen might take off together with hydrogen fusion, both of which are years off sadly. untill there is a robust hydrogen network, its just so much less viable than just lithium batteries and electricity

I saw this Corsa about a year ago when it was being serviced at the dealer.It was half disassembled, with the two clams haphazardly placed on top of each other.

Just got done doing another test on the Paseo's engine, and I decided to rev it just a bit. Does anybody know why it sounds louder when I lift off the throttle and the engine returns to idle, even though the entire exhaust system is completely stock? I don't think I've heard anything like it before.
