Why This NASA Battery May Be The Future of Energy Storage

Why This NASA Battery May Be The Future of Energy Storage

Is this the perfect battery? Go to https://brilliant.org/Undecided/ and get 20% off your subscription and a 30 day free trial with Brilliant.org! What do you do if a satellite runs out of batteries? It’s prohibitively expensive to send a team into orbit and pop in some new AAs, and as a result many satellites use very efficient, reliable and long-lived nickel-hydrogen batteries. We’re talking about batteries that last decades. That sounds like the sort of battery that could revolutionize grid-scale energy storage and really help out renewables back here on Earth, which is why EnerVenue is backing nickel hydrogen batteries as the next step forward! But if batteries rugged and powerful enough for spacecraft already exist, then why haven’t we used it back here on Earth until now?

    In my opinion, this is the most powerful chemical battery that can be made in the universe; which can reach 15 kWat/h per kilogramHydrogen sulfide is battery technology.
    This power can only exceed that of lightning ball batteries and antimatter batteries.

    How does one refuel lithium while traveling through space? they ganna stop off at the closest weird battery factory?

    Bon, au-delà de l’aspect complotiste hydrogène n’est pas utilisé pour une raison très simple. On perd 30% de l’énergie à la production d’hydrogène puis 30% lorsqu’on le retransforme en énergie

    This guy knows NOTHING about batteries. He doesn’t know how to talk about them. The things he says about batteries here make no sense scientifically or even grammatically. "These batteries are 560 watts." for instance makes absolutely no sense in any way from any perspective. Almost everything he is saying here makes no sense. Everyone is dumber for having listened to it, and may God have mercy on your soul.

    Sounds ideal for heavy machinery power e.g. a machine that can dig a trench wide enough for pipes or with climate change in mind, one that can dig a trench into which biodegradable bags of extracted CO2 can be buried and covered with soil on farmland and ranches.

    هذه البطارية تفيد في الأجواء الحارة في الدول العربية ومن ضمنها العراق لان في العراق تصل درجة الحرارة إلى 55 درجة مؤية فلهذا تجد أن بطاريات الليثيوم في العراق يتم تبريدها بتباريد جيدة للبطاريات وهذه تستهلك من نفس بطارية الليثيوم طاقة كهربائية عالية من البطارية ….فهذه البطاريات هي أحسن من بطاريات الليثيوم

    I like your videos, but can you turn off the AI soundtrack assigning? I like to listen to English Origin even though it is not my native tough. Every time I come to your video, I need to reselect the English sound track, and it turns into Japanese first, and then I need to change that again to make it correct.

    Is this real?

  25. @ericseidel4940 on January 31, 2025 at 6:33 pm

    Leaks, H2 leaks from everywhere, this is the tinyest molecule out there. So these batteries are leaking for sure.

    Why do smart phones not use those kind of batteries ? Why does my iPhone’s battery stop working after 2’500 charging cycles ?

  30. @Anisvit on January 31, 2025 at 6:36 pm

    High pressure is danger imagine cars collide and battery opened

  31. @SupraSav on January 31, 2025 at 6:37 pm

    In conclusion, all of these rely on finite resources. The use case of every battery needs to be closely scrutinized. Batteries that are not mobile or requiring ease of interchangeability could be supplanted by salt water batteries, where operational costs wouldn’t be obstructively prohibitive.. Salt and water are both finite in the scope of our planet, but much more plentiful than other elements

  32. @xband on January 31, 2025 at 6:39 pm

    This would replace the profit structure which disposable batteries offer companies.

    Hi!, I am a master’s student in Electrical Systems and Renewable Energy. I have chosen the implementation of an off-grid solution for electric vehicle charging as the topic of my thesis. I would like to contact you to ask a few questions on this subject. Could you please provide me with your email address? Thank you in advance for your assistance. @UndecidedMF

    I believe 30 years useful life for CPV pressure vessel design is incorrect. NASA only validated 30 year life for Ni-H2 chemistry for IPV cells not CPV. Hopiing EnerVenue’s testing campaign will prove me wrong as the Ni-H2 chemistry was an amazing engineering marvel (no so much electrochemistry) and deserves a second chance deployment on use following its phaseout from aerospace use.

  43. @peterhagen7258 on January 31, 2025 at 6:55 pm

    Thanks Matt;
    It turns out that some of my AA rechargeable batteries are labelled as NiMH; Energizer & Rayovac. Turns out that they are widely available in capacities from 0.6 to 2.8 AH. at roughly $1 to $2 per AH in the AA size.
    How are these different from the NiMH batteries that you are talking about?

    The truth is, since WWII, the physical form-factor and energy density of batteries of today, have only been reduced to 1/5 of there original size (there are only so many molecules of materials available for anodes and cathodes). On the other hand, the smallest single function vacuum tube’s glass envelope (the peanut tube) in 1945, will hold more than thirty billion transistors, batteries will never catch up!
