When will the battery be improved?

When will the battery be improved?
>Be a major contributor why everything isn't on solar panels, being we don't have an efficient way to store energy
>Be the reason why our products utilize 70-80% of your computer/phone all in the battery
>electric cars rendered inefficient despite the best practices used due to inefficient storage of power.
>All components on a machine have improved, a battery has not comparatively

Whoever comes up with a more efficient battery will be a billionaire. Nobody can seem to do it. Even gigantic R+D on giant funded companies can't pull it off. What the fuck. Why? What is happening with this challenge?

It's hard.

you're not kidding.

I heard once a scientisc on the mic telling about some cells in octopus skin having very special dynamic in front of light. He was then arguing our current solar panels have maybe 15% efficiency.. and his lab is working on mixing those particular cells for those uses.

If they are right about the octopus cells being more efficient than our chemical processes then they will have a nobel prize on their hands and billions of dollars being funded by companies to buy the product.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same story with batteries as it is with gasoline. And that we probably do have better technologies which are suppressed and these primitive technologies are all we still use because it makes someone a fat paycheck

Naw sadly gas actually is pretty fucking efficient. Politicians have forced technologies like ethanol which resulted in more CO2 emissions and worse engines with their inclusion. It's rich people providing a damn good product and politicians wanting a piece of that pie, so they make laws to prevent innovation.

>so they make laws to prevent innovation.
Innovation creates jobs and millionaires.

The next step is solid state batteries. Everyone's trying to increase density and get cost down, and right now it's mostly a matter of time/scale. It's safe enough to tear apart with your hands or cut up and it may be much higher density (while also being safer). People tend to hear about all these great battery technologies but then don't hear about the part where they're just as unsafe as conventional batteries and would be prohibited everywhere, like any mass transportation, due to high energy density

Exactly - governments want destitute, dependent people. They're far easier to control than those with means and savings.
