Altairnano Lithium Ion Battery Nanosafe a Breakthrough?

Posted on Sunday, May 4, 2008 posted by posted by Ecacofonix @ 1:38 AM

The Lightning GT, a 700 hp electric sports car can accelerate to sixty mph in four seconds. The news is not so much about the Lightning GT as it is about the batteries being used in the car. The claim is that the battery, a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) type called Nanosafe being developed by a company called Altairnano, is able to provide a useful operating range of 250 miles, a full recharge time of 10 minutes, and a useful life of 12-20 years through 15,000 charge/discharge cycles. If a battery can produce this kind of performance, and if large-scale production can enable the battery pack to be profitably sold at a few thousand dollars, mass adoption of electric vehicles cannot be far behind. That’s a game-changer that could end our addiction to oil.

  In the beginning, there were algae,
but there was no oil Then, from algae came oil.
Now, the algae are still there, but oil is fast depleting
In future, there will be no oil, but there will still be algae  
So, doesn't it make sense to explore if we can again get oil from algae?
This is what we try to do at Oilgae.com - explore the potential of getting oil from algae
