I am ^^ Mass production is just one of the things this has to go through; there are several other steps before the product even reaches that point. New technology always under goes a period of testing and perfecting and whatnot. I'm no inventor, so I don't know what has to be done to reach mass production, but I'm betting it'll take more than just 2-3 years... |
Now you're dropped the oil issue, you've dropped the manufacturing issue, we now have to tackle the research issue. The R&D is mostly done, the video made that pretty clear, but I agree there's that last portion to get it to fit tightly in a battery and tie it to an electric circuit. I agree with that, okay at most 2 years.
What I believe would be the primary issue is, like you said, adoption. The only moment this will fly is the moment companies realize the potential and take it to market. However, companies will be all over this just wait. There is no greater bottleneck in the world of portable computing than the battery problem, imho. Once this is adopted, they'll be able to chalk that one off.
So at most 3 years before this goes widespread, is my prediction.
The next question is who will own the patent, but I'm sure that will be resolved fairly quickly given how ubiquitous batteries are and how desperately the market needs more efficient ones.
