Comments on ‘Boffins build bendy paper battery’Tuesday 14th August 2007 16:08 GMT HUGE battery!Anonymous Coward • Tuesday 14th August 2007 16:14 GMT
"...announced in 2005 that it had developed a 0.3m thick battery..." Wow, a 30 centimetre thick battery - mobile phones will never be the same again! Volts are easySterling Udell • Tuesday 14th August 2007 16:47 GMT
...I can generate lots of them just walking across a carpet. So forgive me if I'm not too impressed by 2.5 volts from a postage stamp. What about amps? Better yet, what about watt-hours and power densities? Those are what will get my attention - and what they'll need before they can claim to power anything, from a phone to a car. Enough problemsMichael Sheils • Tuesday 14th August 2007 17:16 GMT
Company's (cough *Sony* cough) have enough problems stopping there batteries from busting into flames at every opportunity they get, and now there going to make them out of paper? It's the world gone mad I tells ya. Sudden bursts of energy?James Minney • Tuesday 14th August 2007 18:37 GMT
"but is also capable of producing sudden bursts of energy" - - Is that a nice way of saying what Michael Sheils is talking about? Typical technical nonsenseTony W • Tuesday 14th August 2007 18:48 GMT
I assume the technically meaningless comment picked up by Sterling Udell comes from their press release, which is no doubt aimed at attracting investment from those who understand about $ and c but not about volts and amps. We're always seeing reports about new electrical power sources, whether batteries, fuel cells, or even sub-miniature combustion engines and generators. Goodness knows which if any of them will be practical and economically viable. Still, the bendy paper battery will be ideal to use with the roll-up paper display that we are also promised in the glorious future, especially as that is predicted to require almost no power to operate. * newsflash **vincent himpe • Tuesday 14th August 2007 20:44 GMT
this just in hot of the press. a team of researches has just discovered a brand new , energy efficient way of storing information on paper. a plastic or wooden stick like carrying vessel contains a rod of carbon material of a peciuliar softness , so that, when rubbed on paper the carbon remains behind. the other end contains a rubbery substance when rubbed against the previously left behind carbon trail ,erases the forementioned trail thus making the area ont he paper re-usable. information can be stored and erase directly using simple hand motions, much similar to manipulating a mouse. the advantage is that no electricity or bulky computer is required. estimated reale price will be around half a dollar beringing this top notch technology well withing access of the masses. to quote an old paraphrase .. printer.sys not found . use pencil+paper.sys ?

powered by stamp sized 2.5 volt batteries you heard it here first! imagine, you are an automatic garage-door manufacturer, looking for a new and interesting marketing angle, step in motorized envelopes (patent pending) The period for commenting on this story has finished |
