Flow Batteries: Australia & Japan Pioneers

[willib]

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:
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?
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.?
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??
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 :!) :!) :!)
