MIT Battery Breakthrough Could Revolutionize Electric Cars : Gas 2.0

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

7 Uncle B said on April 14th, 2009 at 10:17 am This battery is going to absorb peaks from wind-turbines, hitherto dumped to prevent damage to lines! A really significant efficiency increase will be realized, and in combination with the new “variable&# alternators from Vancouver, Canada, major wind power efficiencies can be anticipated!
