might make electric cars much more practical 10 time more power than lithiums coolhttp://www.livescience.com/6206-scientists-discover-generate-electricity.html/

I agree. That also makes a person wonder how usefull it would be over batteries since batteries can be reused a ton of times.I wonder how one would recharge it. It seems like it consumes itself in the power-generating step, making it less of a battery and more of a fuel cell. cn
I was thinking about that just the other day. It used to be that the only rechargeable batteries were for one's car or for a few special applications. "Batteries" for the longest time meant zinc-copper and alkaline zinc-manganese-type cells. These are not rechargeable. But a combination of technical advancement and a certain attitude toward the toxics that go into making batteries has strongly shifted the balance of product sold, and the popular semantics, toward rechargeables, like cell or laptop batteries, those in electric and hybrid cars, and the NiMH rechargeable AA and AAA cells now so available.I agree. That also makes a person wonder how usefull it would be over batteries since batteries can be reused a ton of times.
