Have you been following the mystery of eeStor? They claim a
capacitor with a better energy density than any secondary cell. They
seem to be using a high voltage (3Kv) on some sort of barium titanate
setup. It it's real, it'll be Very BIg News, but many think it's
unadulterated snake oil.
No, hadn't heard, I'll have to go look it up.
A year or so ago I heard a news interview about an aluminum/oxide fuel cell,
that is, the fuel is aluminum, handled in such a way that electrical
energy is released as it undergoes controlled oxidation. Haven't heard anything
since; struck me as sounds good in theory, not so much in practice and economics.
