Iron-air battery, fast, cheap, and good

A new battery on the block, used with lithium batteries, may just put natural gas generation out of business;

Whenever I hear about emerging battery technology like this, I wonder, from a purely selfish viewpoint, if it poses any threat to replacing the standard lithium-ion model in emerging EV's, as I'm pretty heavily invested in their development. However, this is far too heavy to have any effect on EV's, but I'm very happy to hear of its storage potential.

How does it work?

I don't believe it has the rapid response capability of the Lithium batteries. However, as the video points out, it can be used in tandem with the Lithium batteries to provide the strong points of both batteries for grid scale storage.

Watch the video.

I havnt watched the video yet, but if I was to make a guess. Iron is known for oxidizing so it might have something to do with that chemical reaction.

I asked because the video had no information whatsoever on it.

Ok... well, I still havnt watched it yet! So your saying the video isnt very straightforward?
sounds like its not worth clicking on

OK, found this link.

You know you could invest in both right?

In the video, from 3.30 to 4.30, you will find a very complete description of the chemical process involved in that battery.

So weak. Next to nothing.

In other words, you are not intellectually equipped to understand simple chemistry.

If that's how you need to see it, be my guest.
