RE: Carbon Polymer Nanotubes - The Future of Batteries?
The term capacitor is a misnomer. (or advertising.) Tesla called them condensers, because that is what they did. Saying that a capacitor has "capacity" is like saying a thimble has capacity compared to a bucket or a lake.
Elon Musk's Tesla batteries are not a big battery. They are a gang of little batteries. Larger lithium batteries are explosive. (so much so, that a research lab out in the backwoods of Canada was just abandoned because of the destruction.)
One of the best batteries to come along is of the type iron-nickel. The inventor created carbon nano-tubes (very conductive) and electro-plated them with iron and nickel producing a very tiny, very efficient battery.
Ah yeah, true, put the nanotube tech into regular battery tech and improve that at least... hehe, even if it still has draw backs they are trying to eliminate with the ultracapacitors which also have their own issues that don't make them worth it yet. That battery tech might be better. Will see where the giga factory goes. Thanks for the feedback.
