Forums - Nintendo - Welcome to Nintendo's future : Battery breakthrough in science

Remember that thread I made about Nintendo's next portable and home console being one and the same? Arguments were made that batteries would not be powerful enough to give life to the power-hungry unit.

Welcome to the future of Nintendo:

Pretty neat video.



Yeah... we all know it would fit a Vita 2 far better

What does Nintendo has to do with planting vegetables with used batteries?

so Nintendo's future is growing organic vegetables! cool! thanks for the info



Holy shit, that's pretty awesome!! But I don't think we'll find this tech in the next gen Nintendo consoles... I think it's like at least 10 years away from being used by the public. But cool nonetheless!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Pure energy Pikmin.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

I agree with everything.

If this is true and can be mass produced, it will be a huge breakthrough, maybe even one of those "before and after" discoveries.



Please excuse my bad English.

You can use a household CD player to make the graphene sheets, I can't imagine it would take that long to pump these out in the mass. CD writers are already mass-produced. From the documentary it doesn't seem like there was much calibration done to the optical drive, but even if so, if they pulled it off I'm sure CD-recording machines could also be calibrated for this kind of application.

The graphite oxide composite is dispersed into a liquid solution (from what I understood here), and that solution can be used on plastic (like CD players) and once submitted to light (like the optical laser of the CD player), the graphene oxide sheet is created.

I found the raw material (Graphite oxide) sold on ali baba at US $1500-3300 / Metric Ton. That's then diluted into liquid form, imagine how much of that solution can be made with a metric ton, dissolved.
