Yeah I heard that there is a possible explanation for high temperature superconductors called superexchange, I couldn’t really find anything explaining it in a down to earth manner. I did see a lot of articles written on it, but most of the explanations were not very specific on if it is a...
Perhaps I could use something similar to this setup then, with the aluminum foil feed system. As the aluminum is converted to AlOH3, it is fed out of the battery into a box.
So the research method for discovering new high temp superconductors is more of a guesstimate type of approach, as we lack a definitive theory on how they work?
Ah I see what you are saying. I could place a slight positive charge across the aluminum strip to prevent hydrogen evolution and also allow the electrons to flow through it through the circuit. That would work pretty good.
I'm not too familiar with battery chemistry so I couldn't really say...
I wasn't trying to infer that, I was just wondering why the highest temperature superconductors known are composed of the elements with the 2nd highest electronegativity and conductivity, and if that could be related. I honestly don't know much about materials science so I was wondering if it is...
Hi,
Yeah honestly the main premise of this whole design is mitigating the self corrosion issues by storing the fuel away from the battery. The pellets and feeding the fuel into a cone submerged in the electrolyte is honestly just one way of supplying the battery with the fuel but I don't see...
I don't know much about the theory behind superconductivity and how exactly material scientists are able to create new materials so if this is a stupid question I do apologize in advance. While looking though a list of high temperature conductors I noticed that cuprates are composed of oxygen...
Hi,
The idea is that the aluminum oxide would be drained and the aluminum pellets would be added at a fuel station, not recharged like a battery. It would be more like a gas car. The electrolyte would not be consumed as adding a new electrolyte every time you fuel up would be expensive...
Hey everyone,
I had an idea for making an aluminum air battery that mitigates some of the problems. The draft is quite rough but I just made it now and I can improve it as I go along. So basically the idea is the aluminum will cut up into large grains/pellets in a fuel tank. The pellets will...
