Re: Quinone Batteries

I was just going to be posting that one too.

THere are SO many emerging technologies. Not all will be successful.

Oh.. and if you are into gardening

Re: Quinone Batteries

Absolutely.

And, here is yet another potential.. using graphene for supercapacitors

Daily Fusion – Updated On A Daily Basis

Too bad that 'almost ready' might never get to be ready, but I am hopeful.

And, oh boy, another possiblity for cheap hydrogen production for solar.

I would love to see some of this get beyond the lab stage and get into production.

One of the big issues with green energy is storage of energy for when the sun don't shine, or the wind don't blow ..

So , this is something to put where the sun don't shine.

It appears that a new rival to using graphene as a super capacitor has arrived. It is made from , you got it stoners, HEMP (the non-thc type.

Re: hot water

That is how the commercially available hot water solar systems work. I believe what a lot of them do is 'preheat' the water that is supposed to go into what ever gas/oil burner people have.
