Liquid Metal Batteries are going global in 2022!

Many of those new battery technologies claim to be just better at everything than LiPo, basically the Mary Sue of batteries. Ambri is different, they made some big tradeoffs to get a very specialized battery that is good in stationary short term energy storage and nothing else. That is exactly why they are realistic and why I hope that they will do well.

They would work well as a storage system for tidal hydro generators since the cycle would charge up twice a day with each tide.

Great update video. I'm biased about this company as the CTO and co founder, David Bradwell is a childhood friend, but the simplicity and well thought out nature of it is what helped change it from a masters thesis to what it is now. I hope they will not IPO and be forced into following investors wishes so we have a great grid level storage option soon!

I was trying to raise money for these guys about 7 years ago and spent time with Don at MIT and some of the Ambri team. Like much new tech in the battery space it’s so frustrating as conceptually it just ticks so many boxes but the heat was (and maybe still is) such an Achilles heel for them as it degrades components. So the battery chemistry is no longer the limiting factor on life span. Nonetheless (and despite not raising $1 for them in the end) I still think it’s one of the most promising grid storage tech out there due to the cycling capabilities and low component costs. I am really gunning for these guys. Also worth mentioning - Don Sadoway is certainly very “charismatic”. His tie collection is questionable but man can the guy spin a yarn. Wishing them the best of success.

It's good to see that these systems have been installed at scale for a few real customers. It's well out of the lab and now they seem to be scaling beyond modest applications. We need as great a diversity of solutions as possible and the more renewable power we can soak up, store, and release will mean the wind and solar capacity will be better realised (no curtailment). This tech seems like a great way to help get us there.

Thank you for the update video! It's really interesting see which of these ideas go on to develop their potential, and which ones never get beyond the PR stage. We're going to need every good idea we can get. It looks like there is something to liquid metal batteries and Ambri. I'm glad they're continuing to develop on an international scale.

I've looking for them a long time. It makes me confident that this type of battery will be a success. Because it is simple and has "simple" available materials. Thank you for the update.

I like (as always) your transparency and clarity about sponsorships and any conflict of interest. This is how you earn trust! Great video!

Nice to hear Ambri are installing batteries in South Africa, Eastern Cape where I am from. we have been experiencing rolling black outs and load shedding since 2006. first it was a little inconvenience but now its a psudo ramdom occurrence. Thanks for your fantastic shows, look forward to seeing more...

I always had a good feeling about LMB batteries - big & simple. If you want dirt cheap batteries, make them out of dirt. lol

Thank you for the update, I have been following Ambri a while. Great concept, so glad things are working out for them.

i have been watching this canadian professor for over 10 years. i can not wait to invest.

I thought they failed a long time ago when they couldn't find a suitable material for the high temperature seals. Good to see they are still alive.

Thank you. I'm in South Africa and it's great to know Ambri will be bringing their tech here as one of their first large-scale endeavours.

Long Anticipated one. Let's Watch. Thanks Mate

Great video as always. This is the best Channel on Youtube! 👍🏿

Another interesting technology in the storage arena: thanks for revisiting it. It’s obvious to everyone who thinks, that energy storage is the key to renewables - there’s more than enough energy from solar, wind and geothermal to go around - and more and more exploration of the periodic table is being done. Good luck to them!

Great to see the channel revisiting previous innovations as they mature and see if they are ramping up into real world use and industrialisation. It's such an important factor in the impact of the idea.

Thanks for the update! I've been very interested in these batteries and their potential, since you first mentioned them.

I love that you are providing updates.
