Batteries will be the new fertilizer for animal crossing.

Honestly, the breakthrough in OP only inspired you to post this?

I let the thought grow for a minute :D
It looks cool, and could be really revolutionary. The question really is how expencive it is. I didn't hear that they said any price for this stuff, but if it is at a repectable price, then I really think these guys have stuck gold.
As with all these things, working in a lab is FAR from mass production and availability. At least 5-10 years, by which time other tech might be better, or this might be discovered to be flawed in some way (how many articles have you seen in the last 5 years about how great future solar panels will be?)
that could be the breakthrough battery powered cars need to be the standard for the future .. in other words the oil industry wouldn't be amused
Very cool tech!
I can't believe it is in the Nintendo discussion forum though.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

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. |
It might be easy to produce in the lab, but mass production is an entirely different matter. You gotta build the machines that does this all day every day, and they'll have to produce a shit ton of it all day every day. And then you have to interest other companies that this is the shit! Just imagine how all the oil companies (like BP and whatnot) will react if every car starts running on this - or how entire countries will react! Or all the battery manufactorers... There will be quite a few sad faces that will try and stop this. So 10 years from now is probably a bit optimistic... But I think Nintendo should get this material asap!!! But chances as Sony will try as well....
I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!
Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

It is relevant for happydolphin, since one of the problems of his theory was that there are a problem with batteries. This thing might render it obsolete.
