Do a google on " flow battery "
this woman from Austrailia did some recent work with them ,really interesting stuff..
in Japan they use them to supply Grid Power from a windfarm ..

Good point Willib! what exactly is a flow battery?
Willib replies : a flow battery is an electrochemical device that uses vandium ions to tranfer charge held in solution to terminals in an ion exchange unit.
willib tell me more: :smile:
willib replies :Well a flow battery is a technology used today in japan and Canada , to supply power to the grid during peak demand.
How does it do that? :eek:
willib replies:They use power collected from a wind farm , and store it for when the demand is high.
How EXACTLY does it do THAT.?:mad:
No its true ,a flow battery uses Vandium(5) ions in an ion exchange unit
You got to be kidding me! but that doesn't explain how it works?? :mad: :mad:
Well , for one thing flow batteries can be stacked in parallel to produce more voltage , and can be charged and discharged simultainously, and at different voltages.
That sounds too good to be true?:!)
No its true , and flow batteries can be used in truck fleets and "refuled " in a less time and less risk than a Hydrogen system.
I wuv you :!) :!) :!)

:rolleyes:
