And in a counterintuitive twist, this means that the units charge faster together than alone.
So the more units of, the more cells within a quantum battery that you create, the faster they charge.
So let's say your quantum battery has N storage units and each one takes one second to charge.
Well, collective effects would mean that it would be
A tiny fraction of that, there's a formula for it.
The elements of the formula, I don't understand.
So I'm not even going to try to explain them here.
So the bigger your quantum battery, the less time it takes to charge.
And if it doubles in size, charging will take...
just a little more than half as long.
That's the factor of input.
So make it a little bit larger and larger, and it gets to charge faster and faster.
Imagine how this could apply to currently diesel-powered truck fleets around the world.
Now you get autonomously driven diesel conversion to quantum batteries with massive batteries in these things that charge in five minutes.
And can go a thousand miles after a five minute charge, that kind of thing.
So quantum spookiness, if each of the cells of a quantum battery know that there are other units around, they charge faster.
They make taxes to the roads that they're damaging as they travel across them as heavy vehicles.
That's more of a... There's a downside to all of this, however, which is... Okay.
