The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Okay, interesting topic.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

We have.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

We may not have used that name, but we've talked about the technology.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Yeah, it sounds like an incremental advance, right?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

An incremental advance.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Good for them.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

That's good.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

It sounds like a solid advance.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

But yeah, it's not transformational.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

The whole idea is not new.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

And I think we've talked about iron flow batteries or these flow batteries.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

The good thing about the flow batteries is because the charges stored in electrolyte, they're easily scaled, right?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

You just make a bigger tank of fluid.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Yeah.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

This is for grid storage.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

This is not going to be in your EV.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

This is not for cars.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

And this is what we need for the large scale.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

We need something that we could make out of cheap material that's scalable into something huge.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

So yeah, this is perfect for grid storage.
