In this video I discuss the problems from using Cobalt and why we need to explore different elements to get better batteries.
We rely mostly on rare earth metals that are hard to come by, are expensive and according to the current rate to which they are being mined and used, we only have estimated reserves that will last a bit over a decade at current mining demands, hence the 10-year problem. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIBhUFfyQdA

Breakthrough Solid State Battery - 900 Wh/L Samsung [2020]
Samsung research was led by Yong-Gun Lee for an All-Solid-State-Battery (ASSBs). Their goal was to eliminate dendrites formation and increase coulombic efficiency.
To do that they sandwiched layers of Lithium Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese-Oxide (NMC for short) mixed with a Sulfide Solid Electrolytes (SSE, show formula on screen), on top of nanocomposite-layer of Silver-Carbon.
All of this is located in between a foil of Aluminum and Stainless steel as the current collectors.
The idea behind this was to remove lithium foil from the mix and have all lithium atoms part of the NMC and SSE. This approach diminishes the costs of the overall battery manufacturing since handling lithium usually needs an oxygen free environment due to its high reactivity.
This is important for a few reasons, in conventional lithium batteries, the anode comprised of lithium moves freely towards the positive electrode during discharge.
Dendrites are formed during the charging process when lithium moves back to its initial location thanks to the free movement enabled by liquid or gel electrolyte.
This is the main limiting factor of how much energy can be store in these batteries since to control this, the amount of lithium available in the system has to be caped, limiting the energy density.

Not everyone knows this, but Tesla had a lifelong dream of being the first man to fly, of course, with an electric airplane. Little did he know that it would take decades for electric powered airplanes to come true and no, he was not the first man to fly.
But the dream was there, and he even patented schematics for an eclectically powered aerial transportation system to which I did my best to make this 3D model, so you my dear viewer can see it in detail.
Now, today we can spot many problems with his designs, but this was an idea that started taking shape back in 1886 which sort of justifies it.
Nevertheless, he got the patent in 1921 where he goes into detail describing this mode of transportation. The cool thing about it is that his machine allowed for vertical and horizontal takeoff except that vertical takeoff would most likely not work, but the again helicopters would only become a thing in 1936.
Ok, cool but what does this have anything to do with his turbine?
How on to your lunch my dear viewer cause things are about to get interesting.

NEW Graphene Discovery May Unlock Superconductivity secrets | Here's how [Update 2019]
Graphene has baffled scientist for over a decade now, but recently they discovered something peculiar yet again.
In this video we will recap all of the peculiar superconductivity aspects of graphene and the magic angle which was recently discovered and tested. It is possible that this will be used with electronic components and most important of all batteries to fuel the electric revolution.

Graphene Processors and Quantum Gates
Since the 1960s, Moore’s law has accurately predicted the evolution trend of processors as to the amount of transistor doubling every 2 years.
But lately we’ve seen something odd happening, processor clocks aren’t getting any faster.
This has to do with another law called Dennard Scaling and it seems that the good old days with silicon chips are over.
Hello everyone, subject zero here!
Thankfully the solution might have been available for quite some time now and Graphene offers something quite unique to this problem, not only for your everyday processor types, but also Quantum computing.
In 2009 it was speculated that by now we would have the famous 400GHz processors, but this technology has proven itself to be a bit more complicated than previously thought however most scientists including me, believe that in the next 5 years we will see the first Graphene commercial hardware come to reality.

BFR Earth to Earth is a BAD idea - Here is Why [2019]
Hello Everyone. In this video I talk about some of the problems that the BFR will encounter for traveling on Earth. It might be a cool idea and all, but we have to face that it might not have the appeal or feasibility after all.
This is just an opinion piece, please note that some numbers shown in the video are different from what I am saying for various reasons.
One of them is just that the numbers are all over the place online and it was hard to choose consistent ones.
