What they don't tell you is what it takes to "recharge". Aluminum
metal requires vast amounts of energy to create.
Convenient of them to leave that little detail out, isn't it.
I wonder how this particular technology would stack up if it were
considered
just an efficient battery, albeit an expensive battery. Could it
still be
considered an practical/economical choice in certain niche markets.
I haven't seen where the concept is stated to be an actual battery
concept, or even that the aluminum oxide is converted back to
aluminum on board. I only saw the energy density compared to that of
a battery. Did I miss something?
