  • A big roadblock for renewable energy like solar and wind is that sometimes the power isn't there when you need it (like at night) or there's too much (like a windy day). Researchers at Harvard believe 'flow' battery technology could solve this issue.

    What are these new organic molecules? What is the reaction? How are they produced? How are they stored? Being organic, do they need temperature control? Wouldn't there be much quicker degradation than inorganic materials? What is the cost impact in the kwh? How are they disposed of once they degrade? How do they manage bacteria in the fluid?

    According to Mind Blow, this Organic Flow Battery is supposed to be Non-Metal, Environmentally Friendly, and 97% Cheaper to make, just so you all know.

      Well the equipment cost are most the expence so currently vinadium is still the king of flow! haha "Currently"

    very good.....

    False. There is many redox flow batteries deployed around the world. And a lot of them are very cheap. Vanadium flow batteries and Zinc-bromide batteries are quite amazing, and can be utilized in small installations. But with big installations costs are even lower.

    No tehnical info ???

    As soon as, we reverse-engineer organic cells we will probably settle for Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium. Although, it will take a number of dangerous, poisonous substances test and trial before we realize it. ...And, even then, probably another generation or two to get rid of patents to actually make it commercially viable.

    argh! this makes ZERO SENSE! What does the membrane do? This video makes it look like it just seperates the liquids, but that cant be the case, you could just use a wall. And how does reversing the flow change whether the battery is getting charged ro discharged? its the same liquid getting pumped through regardless. What am I missing?

      The membrane is like that in a fuel cell. It's both a catalyst and electrode. It strips the extra electron off one liquid, and feeds the resulting electricity into the device powered. On the return (ground) side, the electrons are drawn to the other liquid, which is short an electron. It's a lot like a conventional battery, except it has an ENORMOUS reserve of electrolyte. Reverse the current flow and cycle the liquids to recharge.
      Ive been searching, but have yet to find any functional units outside of research labs. It's going to be a while before we see such a technology deployed in industry.

      +Phillip Smith I've seen a few commercial systems come to market since my last post, but not this one. This technology hold *huge* promise, provided the scammers don't blacken the eye of this as well. I'm looking at YOU Quant!

      Then eat less meat and ignore the climate alarmist banksters that have to change data to fit their models. They are just big oil trying to take over the emerging industries and stay in power! Decentralize, Save free speech, grow food not lawns! ✌

    The narrator makes two grammatical errors in this video.
    0:34 "held separate(LY) from the actual battery cell."
    1:09 "make millions of gallons of this battery liquid cheap(LY)."

      Or, more accurately, he makes ONE error TWICE.
