Re: Technological Cumulativeness, (Accumulation).

I have recently seen articles about recycling solar panels into batteries.

But here we have a notion of a new materials for wind turbines, that can be easily recycled.

Scientists make astounding breakthrough to quickly and safely store air pollution: 'A universal solution'

The technique developed at UT Austin allows for the ultrafast formation of carbon dioxide hydrates resembling ice formations that can be buried at sea.

"Hydrates offer a universal solution for carbon storage," Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering professor Vaibhav Bahadur, who led the research, said, per Innovation News Network. "For them to be a major piece of the carbon storage pie, we need the technology to grow them rapidly and at scale."

The new method uses magnesium as the driving force of the hydrates that form six times faster than was previously possible using chemical promoters. Even better, the method is aided by seawater, making it easily doable for any country with a coastline.

I would think that this could be an opportunity for places that have lots of available power on the cheep on a coastline or even on a ship at sea.

So, then we can keep the subordinators at bay, the evil greens who want to be feudal lords, and to deindustrialize us.

I note the notion which I actually thing is true that there are principalities of power who may choose to do things that I consider evil.  But they are real, and perhaps my considerations are in error as per the greater notions of the true nature of reality and responsibility.

I also note that in the End the Raptor and BE4 are described as Old Tech.

But If I could live another 50 years, perhaps this will be the truth in that future.

If this proves mostly true, then the concern for materials for Batteries, will not be along the concerns of Peter Zeihan.

So, eventually the materials needed will saturate and only a little mining for the materials will be needed.

Void, that sounds promissing.  The question of course is if they can scale this technology and compete economically with mined lithium.  If they can then it reduces one of the material supply problems with EVs.

So, this might make fuel on Mars perhaps.  I am going to guess that if you could split water, and add Hydrogen to the process rather than water, you could get Methane.  So, you might be less reliant on solar panels or nuclear power.

There is even the potential that you could get Oxygen from Algae, and then in that case, put the algae into the process with CO2 to produce fuels.

Just now the anti-tech is trying to overstate the problems with the Starship system under development.  This is like people trying to trip someone who is trying to carry a heavy load, to make everyone's life better.

But I have seen some encouraging news about Relativity Space, and their Terran-R system.  It seems like they are now doing less 3D printing to get their machine going.  But they sound upbeat about its eventual potential.

This could have some interesting potentials.  Both for Earth and Mars, and perhaps elsewhere.

One thing I might have in mind is to store the slush.  As in the old days ice used to be stored in sawdust in barns.

If you had a slush reservoir, you could inject the slush from above or from below.

I guess this could use some further thinking.  The British usually don't need much cooling, but in a continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters this might be valuable.

Re: Technological Cumulativeness, (Accumulation).

Thanks for the comment (th): https://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.ph … 92#p230492

I am often looking for a "twofer" or better, and I might have one.

I used to live near very large mine pits: https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Ir … C3&first=1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouchleau_Mine
Image Quote: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ … -09-01.jpg

If you had a pipeline to flow the slush down to the bottom of such an artificial lake, you might store a glacier inside of it.

The put Shade Balls over the surface, to keep heat away: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tmfu5anMSA

So, then it you had a heating need, you could store the slush in a quarry or impoundment, for a future cooling purpose.

Norwegian Heat Pumps can reach 180 degrees C, which is considered good enough for some industrial heat needs.  Granted it might be hard to pull that heat from 0 degrees C ice formation but who knows, maybe it can be achieved.

So, if that heat need is satisfied you might then make a glacier that you could draw on for cooling, perhaps in the summer.  Not so much needed in the UK, but in continental climates such as the interior of the USA, or desert climates it might be acceptable.

And the glacier with plastic balls above it might let moisture in to condense.  So, it could be an atmospheric condenser when the humidity is high.

The mention plastics, but actually most of the problems with microplastics are from car tires, and clothing.  The Shade balls would not cause that much trouble I think.

Ending Pending smile

Now that I think of it, hot humid climates might do ok with this as well.  In such climates heating for homes is not much wanted, but industrial heat would be.  In such climates the condensation in the shade balls should be rather high.

Water has a high heat of fusion due to hydrogen bonding.  This makes a water tank useful as a thermal capacitance for a heat pump.  I don't see the point of trying to pump viscous ice slush.  It would make more sense just storing the ice in a static tank and using the outside air and ground heat to remelt it.

Re: Technological Cumulativeness, (Accumulation).

Of course, in the UK, you are not very interested in cooling.  And you have plenty of water.

The bottom of a cold pond or lake will be at 39 degrees F.  (3.88888889 C).  So, the bottom water will insulate the slush above it, as that is the heaviest water.  Convection will not occur.

Shade Balls would insulate the top of the reservoir.

So, then you have phase change stored cold.  Many places in the world might value that.

And in addition, the shade balls could breathe.  For instance, if you did this in a place like Namibia, you might condense water into the slush under the shade balls.

I selected industrial heat, because that could be a money maker.  Then to use the slush to store cold and possibly to condense water from the air.  Wet topical places could use this as well.

For instance, Sub-Tropical, Florida.

I have increasingly begun to feel that there is going to be a point where this Gloom-Doom thing is going to be relegated to the past.

With increasing breakthroughs, the problems will be solved.  The world will turn upside down.

The USA culture has begun to move towards that, I feel.  We are leaving the "Hair-Shirts" behind.

If you consider how the elite classes have handled the problem, it is always that rationing and poverty should be embraced.  This is in line with some traditional religious teachings.  The idea that suffering will improve the spiritual nature of an individual.

But I have thought that it is not our part to hang people on crosses.  That does not make us or the victims more holy.  A cross is something that you may be called to bear, but it is not for the church or the elites to hang lower classes on crosses, to make the situation seem more holy.

So, I very much prefer the sunshine in moderation, and the good of productivity.  Not the decaying spirit of the Doomsters.

The device uses solar energy to convert ethylene into longer chain hydrocarbons.  Which is good.  But the ethylene must first be manufactured.

Solar-to-Fuel System Recycles CO2 to Make Ethanol and ...

Yes, a solar-powered process to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into ethylene has been demonstrated, using a device based on artificial photosynthesis that utilizes copper clusters on gallium nitride nanowires.

Here's a more detailed explanation:
The Process:

A device, developed at the University of Michigan, uses a forest of gallium nitride nanowires, each dotted with copper clusters, submerged in CO2-enriched water and exposed to sunlight.

How it Works:
Sunlight splits water molecules, creating hydrogen.
The copper clusters facilitate the binding of carbon from CO2 with this hydrogen, forming ethylene.
The device is able to produce ethylene with a high efficiency and stability.

Key Features:
High Efficiency: The system shows a high efficiency in converting CO2 to ethylene.
Durability: The device exhibits good stability and longevity, operating for extended periods.
Potential for Solar Fuels: This technology represents a step towards creating sustainable, solar-powered fuels.

Other Related Research:
Berkeley Lab researchers have also demonstrated the ability to convert CO2 into ethanol and ethylene using a solar-to-fuel system.
Researchers at Stanford University have shown that it's possible to convert carbon dioxide to ethanol with few byproducts.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a solar-powered reactor that pulls carbon dioxide directly from the air and converts it into sustainable fuel.

Aluminum Ion Batteries: Fresh Discovery, Elon Musk drop bombshell Tesla's NEW Aluminum-Ion Battery with  5 - min Charging!

https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/r … ORM=VAMGZC

https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/r … ORM=VAMGZC

I think I have become conscious of something.  Where the Left is goofing up, is they are trying to deaminize Industrial/Technological people.  Trying to use Guilt and Shame, to gain power over the more intelligent.  This is a religious method of social regulation.  They tried to shame us for Cobalt, after all we were responsible for the suffering of children in the Congo.  Similar for Nickle. The Lithium becomes a control device.

And then these people just figure out how to use Aluminum.  Possibly a better product.

A conflict between the hive mind people repeats people and those who have creative intelligence.

It begins to become possible to understand what the globalist people are about.  They mesh with unproductive royalty, and "Old Time Religion".  Really "Old Time Religion" not so much like what American developed.

I was quite comfortable with America's ability to be compatible with the British Royals, but at this point, I have an uneasy feeling about all of those, (Not just those named people), who see America and think that the best thing to do with it is to subordinate it.

Of course we wall rip the temple supports down before we allow the American people to be taken captive anymore.

When the Left/Royals use religious methods to regulate the societies to try to make servants of the innovative, this is a thing not to tolerate.  Of course I will claim anyway that such a use of religious regulation is not legitimate from a God anyway.

Re: Technological Cumulativeness, (Accumulation).

There may be some trust issues with the idea that Tesla is coming out with an and Aluminum Ion battery, but if they should do so, that could be a significant thing:  https://elonbuzz.com/2025-tesla-super-a … he-market/ Quote:

2025 Tesla Super Aluminum-ion Battery Finally Hits The Market
February 21, 2025 by Admin
It’s 2025, and the game just changed. Tesla has unveiled its long-awaited Super Aluminum-Ion Battery, a groundbreaking technology that could end the solid-state battery race before it even begins. But what makes this new battery so revolutionary, and how does it compare to existing technologies like solid-state? Most importantly, what does this mean for Tesla owners and the EV industry as a whole?

Why Is Tesla Jumping Straight to Aluminum-Ion Batteries?
Solid-state batteries have been touted as the future of electric vehicles (EVs) for years. Companies like Toyota, BMW, and Mercedes have poured billions into developing this technology, promising better energy density, safety, and durability. Solid-state batteries were expected to be lighter, more efficient, and capable of lasting longer. But there’s a major problem: they just aren’t scalable or affordable yet.

The Problem with Solid-State Batteries
Currently, solid-state battery packs cost $80 to $100 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) to produce, double the cost of lithium-ion batteries. Even when mass production ramps up, they are still expected to cost 70% more due to rare earth materials, high-purity lithium, and specialized electrolytes.

Meanwhile, Tesla’s new Super Aluminum-Ion Battery is made from aluminum and graphene—materials that are 10 times more abundant and cheaper. The result? A production cost of just $10 to $20 per kilowatt-hour, which could reduce EV battery prices by 75%, driving faster adoption of electric vehicles across the globe.

How Does Aluminum-Ion Solve the Issues?
The main problem with solid-state batteries is the cost of production. They require specialized facilities, ultra-dry environments, and extremely precise engineering. Scaling this up is a logistical nightmare. In contrast, aluminum-ion batteries don’t require a factory overhaul, meaning Tesla can mass-produce them right now using its existing Gigafactory infrastructure, with minimal retooling.

By skipping the solid-state technology and going straight to aluminum-ion, Tesla stays ahead of the competition, offering a cheaper, faster, and more scalable battery solution. This aligns perfectly with Elon Musk’s vision for rapid innovation and competition in the EV market.

Which Tesla Models Will Use This New Battery?
Tesla’s $17,999 Tesla Model C is expected to be the first to feature this new super aluminum-ion battery. This affordable EV will dominate the mass market, offering long range and high performance without the hefty price tag. Solid-state batteries could never achieve this at such a price point.

The Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are expected to follow in 2026, also adopting this super battery technology. Expect dramatically lower prices, faster charging times, and extended range, making them even more competitive against traditional gasoline cars.

How Aluminum-Ion Batteries Address the Issue of Battery Replacement
One of the biggest concerns for EV owners is the cost of battery replacement. While EVs save thousands of dollars in fuel and maintenance, battery degradation is inevitable, and the cost of replacing a battery can be staggering.

For example, replacing the Tesla Model S battery pack costs around $22,000, while a 2025 Tesla Model Y battery replacement could reach up to $115,000—almost the price of a new vehicle!

Aluminum-ion batteries solve this problem. They have an incredibly long lifespan, lasting up to 10,000 to 15,000 charge cycles, or over 1 million miles without noticeable degradation. This means Tesla owners could drive for a lifetime without ever needing a new battery, eliminating the need for costly replacements.

How Does This Benefit You?
With aluminum-ion, battery degradation and the worry of replacements become a thing of the past. No more expensive repairs or feeling anxious about a sudden battery failure. You can drive confidently knowing that your battery will outlast your car!

How Can Aluminum-Ion Batteries Charge in Just 10 Minutes?
Charging time has always been a challenge for EV owners, but solid-state batteries weren’t the solution many hoped for. Even under the best conditions, solid-state batteries can take up to 20 minutes to charge fully.

The Solution: Aluminum-Ion Batteries
Aluminum-ion batteries have a 1,000 times higher ion conductivity, which allows for ultra-fast charging. In fact, they can be fully charged in just 10 minutes, without overheating or degrading.

Imagine being able to charge your Tesla in the time it takes to grab a coffee! This means faster charging and less waiting around, allowing you to get back on the road in no time.

Can Aluminum-Ion Batteries Provide Free Home Electricity Storage?
Home energy storage has been a major challenge for years, with the cost of traditional energy storage systems being prohibitively high. But with Tesla’s new super aluminum-ion battery, everything is about to change.

Why is This So Revolutionary?
Cost-Effective: Aluminum-ion batteries cost just $50 to $100 per kilowatt-hour, making home energy storage affordable for everyone.
Long Lifespan: They last up to 30 years, compared to the 5-10 years of solid-state batteries.
Faster Power Delivery: These batteries can discharge energy three times faster, making them ideal for powering your home, even during peak usage.
Zero Energy Loss: Aluminum-ion batteries have almost no energy loss, making them perfect for solar power storage.
Imagine off-grid living with free electricity forever! With aluminum-ion batteries, you could power your home without relying on the grid, lowering your energy costs and reducing dependence on traditional power sources.

How Does Aluminum-Ion Battery Impact the Affordable EV Market?
For years, affordable EVs have been hindered by high battery costs. But now, thanks to aluminum-ion technology, that’s about to change. By cutting battery costs by 75%, this new technology will make electric vehicles more affordable and accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy.

The Big Picture
Smaller, Lighter Batteries: Aluminum-ion batteries charge six times faster than solid-state, meaning smaller, lighter, and cheaper batteries that still provide the same range.
Better Cold Weather Performance: Aluminum-ion batteries work at full efficiency in temperatures as low as -30°C, unlike lithium-ion and solid-state batteries, which lose efficiency in cold weather.
Higher Resale Value: Because aluminum-ion batteries last over 1 million miles, your Tesla EV will retain its value longer, with no major battery degradation.
Conclusion: Is Aluminum-Ion the Future of EVs?
Tesla’s new super aluminum-ion battery is set to revolutionize the EV market. From affordable electric vehicles to fast charging and long-lasting durability, this breakthrough technology offers the best of both worlds.

Are you ready to switch to a Tesla with aluminum-ion batteries? Will you consider going off the grid with home energy storage? Drop your thoughts in the comments below and let us know if you’re as excited as we are for the future of electric vehicles!

I am gratified at the possibility that the above may be true or may become true.

I have finally gotten a grasp on what has been done to us for our whole lives.  The Left, the anti-colonialist, and alien cultures have figured out how to hack our religious prompts of Guilt and Shame.

If a particular metal is being mined somewhere then of course I am personally guilty because children somewhere are being harmed.

This is not unlike being unliked in a schoolyard, and getting a shake down for lunch money.  I think we should call "Bullshit!" on the people who only have had and do have ill will for our people here in the west and particularly in "American-America".

Thankfully we live in an age where discovery leads to profit, and profit offers a better life.  Unless a dark age, technological skills should only accumulate.

If you can afford to "Fake-It-Until-You-Make-It", it is actually possible that what was not good enough will eventually become very good enough.

Let's hope that is the case this time.
