In theory, they should be a good choice for applications, such as storing surplus energy from renewables. He adds that non-flow technologies likely "have lower investment cost but the energy throughput is lower. Zinc-bromine technologies can do well due to the low cost of materials." So we will have to see."

Well, one robotic idea is to just cook meals for the person. This idea can be tempting, because what could be better than a machine that does all the cooking? It’s the time-machine idea—helping them to feel that they can still do what they used to be able to do and still cook for their family and contribute to their well-being.

Although rechargeable lithium (Li) ion batteries (LIBs) are widely studied for application in portable electronic devices and vehicle electrification, they cannot store sufficient energy for the extended driving range required by electric vehicles. Alternative energy-storage systems with much higher theoretical specific energy are needed.

The idea is to take as little energy as possible from the internal combustion engine. The more energy there is available at low cost, the more it will be used. The oil is stored in a separate section of the drive axle’s main tank. It is also supported by ADEMA, the French Agency for the Environment and Energy Control.

According to the Department for Business, the average cost for standard electricity in the UK in 2020 was 17.2p/kWh. That rate would give the LEAF a cost of 17.2 * 24 to drive 100 miles. Our system was configured with two battery units each with 2.4kWh storage giving 4.8KWh of maximum stored capacity. Or around 4p pe rmile.

For some context on what you’re about to see, a brief callback to a year ago last August, when I predicted what was in store for 2022: It’s possible, even likely, that Tesla will build some sort of Tesla Bot by sometime next year, as Musk says. And it is expected to cost much less than a car—much less than $20,000 would be my guess.
