I feel much better knowing all the beer cans in my garage are advancing aluminum battery storage technology. I will continue to help save the environment one IPA at a time.
-
Having two options to run any generator is ideal. If gasoline is unavailable I can switch to propane or back and forth.
-
Ecoflow really did improve the gas generator. Now I can use what is convenient for me be it gas or propane.
-
Hey! Long-time viewer here! I wonder if you've ever considered making a sort of 'end of year roundup'. I know year-end listicles can seem a bit superficial and click-baity but I'd love to see an overview of what progress has been made this year and what were some of the bigger breakthroughs.
-
Now that is what I would call a really smart generator. It has an auto start and can be monitored by the same Ecoflow App I use with my Delta Pro.

Thanks Matt, I think you missed one of the most important facets of GMG's business model: They're forming their graphene directly from (natural gas / methane / CH4), so their graphene is a) ultra pure, and b) super inexpensive compared to other production methods. They can also produce this graphene at enormous scale, as their original intent with the product was to use it to harden concrete, requiring huge volumes of the material.
-
I appreciate that you always give a very balanced view of new technologies, I hope that this aluminum Ion or the aluminum sulfer works out. It will move the ability to buy an EV into the realm of the average family being able to afford an EV. Also it may reduce the environmental impact ofEV’s.
-
As always with these battery videos, I'll believe it when I hold it in my hand. Until then, it's just dreams and nothing else. None of the battery techs I've seen on any channel is in my hands, or anyone's hands for that matter, yet.
-
As a Queenslander myself, this makes me feel pretty proud 🙂 Good to hear some good tech coming out of Australia like this 👍
-
I have been waiting for this moment ever since I first learned of the potentials using Graphene tech in 2013.. It's wonderful to see some tangible progress showing! Lithium is merely another stepping stone to humanity reaching a true neutral/negative carbon footprint, albeit, a rather slow one. Once these batteries become mainstream everything will change.
-
This was a very good overview of the problems… as well as new proposed solutions!
-
It’s great that this battery technology is being taken to another level and improving in so many ways there’s a lot of controversy over the mining process used in extracting lithium from soil or ground and the explanation of children for labour there’s an abundance of both aluminum and carbon everywhere to produce these batteries A win win situation for producers and users of this next generation battery Hope it takes off soon
-
I'm sure they have a shot. The GMG information sounds promising. I'm not convinced they'll come to the market "cheaper", even if the total cost of production is significantly cheaper. They price themselves based on the market.
-
I love watching these videos, but seeing new things all the time is nice and all but would be nice to have a short recap video of technologies that were features in your videos years ago and see where they are now.
-
I think we really need you to keep us up to date on these exciting developments. Thanks.
-
I always watch your videos to the very end. Fascinating discussion and it gives me hope for the future!
-
This is ground breaking! Absolutely phenomenal 💕

After finally being able to do Aluminum smelting myself the past few weeks, I had ideas of attempting to introduce graphite and home made graphene(very home made) to see if I could build a battery. Glad to see i wasn't the first with the idea and they are much further ahead of me. Now, If I could get better at smelting and metallurgy, I would love to do experiments to build a home made battery and even an "open source guide" one day.

Thank you for your continued efforts around all things batteries
