has thrown the magic wand to Aquion Energy now.

I'm Looking for Sunking to also make dem 'his man'
one of these days.

Why would I want a Wind Turd for?

Here's the article about WindStax and Aquion partnering up. Makes sense, they are both in Pittsburg.

Great match two blowhards blowing SMOKE.

of 'Salt' batteries later this year (they claim).

Wonder how 'TopCat' in Hawaii is doing with his 9 bedroom
Aquion Energy
Battery experiment.

Endless supply of electrolyte. All you need is a bucket and short walk to the beach.

Too much volcanic rock in that water.

Aquion Energy, AHI Batteries

One of the technicians on Maui in Hawaii told me they had a little bit
of experience with the Aquion Energy (it no Lie) AHI Batteries.
They are at:

The man claims that the salt batteries are sealed and never need
anything other than Sunking stopping from peeing on dem

I have not verified this yet. Will continue to Look-see into them a tad
from time to time but it is not a priority.

There seems to be some serious plus signs however there also seems
to be a little dark side that has not been touched on much - if any.

Wonder who could handle The Dark Side ?
Which side is stronger ?

I was listening into a conversation at the weekend where the guy was talking about some new saline battery solution that is set to revolutionize the solar industry as an energy storage device. Many times better than all present battery technology. I felt I didn't know enough about battery storage solutions to join in the conversation, but does anyone know what the hell he was talking about?? or had he been smoking something? or is there indeed some wonder solution just around the corner. Is this a fuel cell? He said it's also being used in a new supercar. Anyone point me in the right direction to read up on this technology?

Just spreading BS - fartherest thing possible from a fuel cell.

I found the car the guy was talking about:

Seems they call it a 'flow cell'?? whatever that is. Sounds like a conventional fuel cell to me. It needs to be fed a charged electrolyte, so that makes it a fuel cell. Right? so it's not a battery in the conventional sense. Am I right? still seems a little futuristic to me. Although I like the car

A big differentiator between a fuel cell and a battery, flow or otherwise, is that a fuel cell takes as input a substance (fuel) and an oxidizer (usually air) and combines the two to produce a chemical product and extra energy. The fuel cell operating paradigm is that you add fuel and discard the waste product in some appropriate way.
In a rechargeable flow cell, the input chemical (I would not call it "charged electrolyte" necessarily) is one which can be produced by operating the battery in reverse (recharging it) rather than having to be replaced from an external supply.

Now a non-rechargeable flow cell with replaceable chemicals is much harder to distinguish from a fuel cell.
I do not know of any fuel cell technologies that are reversible in place within the cell.

It is a flow battery or flow-cell battery, which you can Google.

One article out there on qz dot com suggests the car in question would cost $1.7 million today. That article also says that flow-cell has the potential to be a fraction the cost of Li-ion, which leaves the reader wondering the principle reasons for the estimated $1.7m price tag.

Those cars will cost that much in the beginning because they need to recoup all that R&D they spent to get a working proto-type on the road.
