my neck of the woods marra!

Alfa, you attending the battery safety class :-)

You there for the duration?

are they tonights lottery numbers?....................................... I'll just go and get my ticket!

following a link from that article:

"Flow venders (sic) have to convince customers that they will still be around for the multi-decade lifespan of the devices. That's a hard sell to financiers as well. But having a brand like Mitsubishi Hitachi stand behind the technology would be a major vote of confidence."

Lol, its easier to get a ban on here than do ascii art

Meh, that failed on posting!

Unless anyone can do better :-)

can your boom button activate this?
Or, should I save it for Mokopane?

A scout around the Noriker site seems to show they are using a mix of Li ion and lead acid.

Ha, ha, ha...... I think the next queens speech will be fairly short............. "off with his head" springs to mind :-)

Off the back of that article, couple of interesting reports

LCOE for generation: https://www.lazard.com/media/450784/lazards-levelized-cost-of-energy-version-120-vfinal.pdf

Good to have your knackers supported by a nice stout pair of shorts IMO, DYOR

Depends how much weight you have put on since the last time you wore them I suppose!

go sleep it off mate.

Good spot Hamill

No offence taken Paludina, its just ships effectively have ready made electrolyte tanks and some of the ballast or cargo weight could be substituted for electrolyte.

Happy to be corrected, was just thinking out aloud as ships carry a lot of ballast and why not make it electrolyte.

Not in this country any more :-(

Now with ships, you can have sails!

Can save 10% of the energy.
Now these large ships have an awful lot of room for ballast, up to 200,000m3 for large tankers.
If you could put aside a chunk of ballast for electrolyte you could be storing 15-25kWh/m3
1/2 the ballast would be
That ferry was ~60m and could do 40km on a 4.3MWh battery, big tankers are about 10x larger, but increasing size does not need a proportional increase in power.
Ferry uses 0.1075 MWh/km, say a large tanker uses 0.86MWh/km.
!/2 the ballast as electrolyte and getting say 20kWh/m3 gives you a 2000MWh storage gives you a range of 2300km
