This Insane Liquid Battery Can Instantly Recharge

Battery systems in electric vehicles are a key talking point due to their cost, weight, and the time it takes to recharge them. That's why I am so excited about this new breakthrough battery system from Influit Energy that could enable electric cars to be recharged in the same was as a combustion car, using the power of nano-fluids! This project is currently backed by NASA and DARPA and is definitely one to follow!

Thanks for the comments so far, here are some points to hopefully clear up some things:

- This liquid would not be 'used up' after discharge, it can be recharged either in or out of the video with (clean) electricity
- This technology is not any more favorable to big oil companies than current batteries are
- Great points about the issues of extra moving parts, this does add an extra failure point and would make this less attractive for passenger vehicles
- I think the main use case could be for large utility or airborne vehicles where current batteries are not feasible
- There are more details in the sources about the composition of the liquids, but they are relatively well understood at lab scales (nothing magic!)

About fifty years ago, I read an article in a science magazine predicting the batteries that could be charged by fluid replacement would make electric cars feasible. I'm still waiting for those batteries.

This is why I love this channel. Brings to light technologies that I haven't heard of or are unfamiliar with and gives a wholistic analysis on pros, cons, and possible outcomes. Been a subscriber since Day 1 and I'm still loving it!

Did something quite similar back in 75 via high school science fair project.

[LabGecko]

Thanks so much for doing this one! I was happy to see LFR batteries gaining ground industrially, but those new insights from Influit et al is very exciting!

[Zendukai]

I seen something like this a few years ago, good to see its come along way.

[GRAFRU]

Amazing content from such a bright young mind. Love it 🎉 well done. Excellent presentation skills and great in-depth explanation

[adam-gcrq]

Nice idea, I'd like to know the cycle live of the fluid wouldn't there be a quality issues at the filling stations mixing varying quantities of different aged fluids though there live cycles.

Just a note. Li+ is currently doing 285Wh/kg commercially (Ford cars battery) and 500Wh/kg in the lab. Please update your clip with the correct figures. It is not 100Wh/kg anymore. This number was like 5 centuries ago.

[blueboy]

There is nowhere else that I ear about incredible technologies like that. Thx for that 👍🏻

[AnthonyCelata]

Keep up the great work dude would love to see a follow up to this once more data is available

[ensignbodybag]

This is the first time I have heard of liquid flow batteries. Fascinating stuff. I look forward to seeing future developments of the technology.

This system may solve our long haul trucking issue. But it would need massive changes for flight. Currently flight plans are calculated with the loss of fuel during the flight. The plane gets lighter as it expends fuel. Keeping the fuel onboard will make long flights less achievable.

Come up with a battery powerful enough to exchange like replacing a flashlight batteries. This would make charging so much easier and less time consuming.

[loisplayer]

Super interesting new technology - I'd never heard of it! Thanks!

[kredwol]

I wonder about how long the fluid lasts before it needs to be replaced or revitalized. Can it be recycled, and at what cost?

[gregbaer]

There is a company called Nanoflocell that has been using this tech since 2016 or there abouts. Very cool none the less, and I hope it gains some traction.

[allanchurm]

allready subscribed love the way you exsplain how things work

[needdrift]

Definitely interesting.. But why not make a smaller, compact, portable and interchangeable battery that we can unplug from our car with ease, replace it with a fresh one and just recharge the other one with our off grid solar charger?.. Why do you think?.. Think about it..

[DavidFMayerPhD]

I have heard about this for YEARS, and so far, NO positive results. I hope that something positive does happen.
