I actually love this channel a little too much lol...
Also thanks for helping me brainstorm my electric yacht retrofit 👌
Is it possible for battery weight to be used as part of the ballast in the vessel design? If so I feel like carbon foam would be sitting in a pretty good sweet spot.
Yes, it is possible, and a very good idea. The challenge is fitting those rectangular batteries into a curved hull shape. It doesn't work well as a retrofit. But for new construction, where we can shape the hull to fit a large battery pack, then batteries as ballast works very well.
Lolololoololololololololol what?
It's not a case of , "yes it can". It's an absolute, it _will_ .
What are your thoughts on immersion cooled LCO cells?
Kinda like a nuclear reactor?
I know aboslutely nothing about nuclear reactors. But if that's how they're cooled, I guess so?@@the-naked-sailor
@@shannonlim739 look into them. It's the future.
10:40 interestinglt, this is said to be the reason lithium for diesel electric subs is only now being deployed by the Japanese.
I can certainly understand the concern. In a closed submarine, the thermal runaway process can quickly make the atmosphere unbreathable.
never heard of gel traction batteries before. i knew carbon foam ones existed but i couldnt get any numbers, just call us if you wanna buy them nonsense.
for giggles, lead crystal batteries that a brand that starts with [am] makes can have up to 18k cycles. the best LiFePo i have seen are 3,500. how's that for longevity?
Gel traction were the precursors to AGM lead-acid batteries. You can still buy them to support some legacy systems, but AGM generally took over for people who want a sealed lead-acid battery without the concern of it venting regularly. The carbon foam batteries I found are sold under the brand name Firefly fireflyenergy.com/ You won't find them in the convenience store. Instead, search on dedicated battery suppliers and you can find that brand name.
.... sounds like the _lightbulb conspiracy_ all over again.
