    • @Ryukachoo
      @Ryukachoo 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      A progressive tax based on volume of batteries sold which feeds into recycling company tax breaks could work, it's kinda roundabout but still workable.
      Smaller companies wouldn't feel it but very large companies could take the hit and factor it into pricing

    Excellent coverage on an important topic. I watched your previous video on the next step in battery evolution and was pleasantly impressed and encouraged. You are even handed and do thorough research and you neither praised nor trashed tesla; you just presented your findings and raised your concerns, then enumerated the likely positive, useful outcomes for the next phases of battery recycling and environmentally friendly possibilities. Thank you!

  • @TheFabled1
    @TheFabled1 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Came here from the cell phone video. Could you please do another video on this? And consumer e waste in general? Things must have changed in the last 4 years, but I am worried there is just that much more being thrown away. One factor you could look into is the losing of all of this e waste along with less offices being occupied and so many more people working from home. A close friend is currently clearing an 11 story building of offices and the waste is beyond comprehension. Everything from brand new in the box electronics to several year old desks and chairs are being thrown away in mass. I have seen that on small scale for businesses, but never that scale.

    Actually i believe that those standardized form-factor batteries are easy to dismantle and separate. Reversed process or bullet manufacturing. A) Cut both heads (sizes are standardized) B) push piston and wet + roll of lithium film will be pushed out. C: Put 2 needles and roll out the film D: then pass with precise gravity powered calibrated load one side of film over
    grater to remove powder E: turn arround film and do it again (probably assisting with ultrasonic). E: Liquid (electrolyte) must be collected and chemically separated in high purity components F: wet powder is to dry off and recycle - make again fine grain powder with proper size nanostructure for next batteries.
    I see more problems with already burnt batteries, or pouch batteries that got moisture inside (puffed).

    The governments all over the World definitely need to encourage education about the recycling of these materials everywhere like in schools and so on, it'll benefit everyone and the Planet for the future. It's great that big steps are being planned and done though, even in the mining process like Volvo using Hydrogen fuel cell diggers and earth movers.

    Very informative video thank you, however just wondering about the impact of the other mined materials that involve, cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite, copper and aluminum, to produce the battery?

    Great Coverage depth👍 Companies should have their own return and breakdown program but newer batteries might be better AND easier to recycle. 🤞

    Part 3 : Ultra capacitors and its evolution into the battery!

      @JasonPrice1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      And capacitors charge insanely fast. So if they can be made with similar energy densities to current batteries, it is a massive win as they have FAR more duty cycles and are infinitely more recyclable. If the elusive graphene ultracapacitor can be achieved in scale, then everything changes. To the extent of almost fusion power level changes.

      @@JasonPrice1 There are only 2 problem with supercaps, even if energy density is solved:
      1. Their self-discharge rates are quite high.
      2. Their voltage goes down significantly as you discharge, unlike rechargeable battery chemistries which go down slowly in voltage.

      Supercapacitors are not a replacement for batteries. They fill a different niche. Batteries are for when you want kilowatt-hours. Supercapacitors are for when you want megawatt-seconds.
      If you want backup power to run a building for a day when the power goes out, you want a heap of batteries.
      If you want to cushion your grid connection against startup power surges when you restart your factory, you want a heap of supercapacitors.

    In The Netherlands it is also normal to not throw batteries/electronic devices in the trash. All grocery stores have boxes where you can leave your old batteries in, and old electronics can be returned to companies that sell electronics. I assumed this was similar for the rest of the world, but I am wrong apparently.

    Biotech student chiming in.
    We are discovering/creating more and more powerfull methods for genetic modification and we will see much more applied biology in the years to come.
    We already use many biological solutions to many problems. I would be so bold to say that it is maybe our most advanced technology.
    Different micro organisms and their macromolecules are microscopic machines that can perform different Work and solve different problems. They are wonderful :)

      @@varshard0 strains used for production or whatever are specialised for that, and said strains would have no chance of competing outside of the comfy environment that is optimized for them. Our crude modifications would have to compete with organism perfectly tuned to nature through billions of years of evolution. In Nature there is not any, and i mean any room for waste of energy. There Will basicly be a selection pressure against having genes that are not useful in Nature or is wasteful of energy/ressources.

    Environmental factors are real, so are the costs of wars waged on other countries that have what we intend to steal, like oil, lithium, Cobalt and more. The real costs of batteries needs to be accounted in terms of human blood as well as environmental concerns.

    Tesla just bought battery and supercapacitor producer Maxell for ~200 million dollars. You might want to dig into that story, as they are probably already developing the future battery technology for Tesla ;)

      Yes, especially this.
      Supercaps have very low energy density, but extremely high power density.
      Even if their energy density doesn't improve much in the mid-term, their characteristics could be used to stabilize grids all around the world, especially with the rise of electric cars.
