Hey all y'all engineers:

Toshiba batteries promise 90-second recharges

Japanese technology company Toshiba has reportedly improved its so-called Super Charge Ion Battery (SCiB) technology to make it even more efficient.

According to reports from Japanese financial daily Nikkei, Toshiba has improved the performance of its lithium-titanate-based SCiB by up to four times. The battery can now be charged in around 90 seconds making it suitable for applications requiring very high energy densities or very short charging delays.

According to Nikkei, Toshiba produces around 150,000 SCiBs a month but plans to increase this by building a facility later this year which could manufacture around 2 million batteries a month, with plans to increase capacity in the future.

Toshiba first announced the SCiB in December 2007 with claims that it would be central to the company's plans going forward. In a statement at the time, Toshiba said it would target the SCiB at battery-powered bicycles, motorcycles and other vehicles that already use rechargeable batteries.

The company claimed the technology should also suit hybrid cars and eventually fully electric cars.

"This is a truly innovative battery," said Toshiharu Watanabe, corporate vice president of Toshiba Corporation. "The excellent performance of the SCiB will assure its successful application in industrial systems and in the electronic vehicles markets as a new energy solution. In terms of environmental impacts, the SCiB offers a long life that will reduce waste."

Travis' (Tmax) dad said he thought that much better batteries were going to be the next big technology break through.

It would be awesome to have electric vehicles... as long as I can keep my gas hog

I mean, fuck wallpaper....I've got fake wood.

NO shit.

My basement one one side has inch thick unfinished what I think is cedar boards.

Other fake brick and fake wood panels... Pine wallpaper would be an upgrade by far. Especialy if you put a fish trophy on the wall too!

The lady who owned this place was nuts.

My brother works for Pella, and there is a pile of 4.5"x10' 3/32 veneer coming up for action this next week, going to see if we can get it on teh cheap. If not, more will come up later.

Not a f'ing clue what I would do with it though, but I don't have a clue what I'm going to do with 900+ various old speakers in the folk's garage either, or the body armor plates I have, but fuck, its all been to good of a price not to acquire them.

Body armor, pine veneer, and 900 speakers....

I think I saw that on McGyver when I was a kind once.

And on to my other stock tip

QTWW

They are for the win. Probably going to be contracted with BMW and AM to do alt fuel for them. Less then a buck a share. I say go for it.

[dem beats 1,223]

I would like one quadrouple please. Capo style for breakfast if that's ok.

After working long hours tuesday and wednesday I was excited because I'd get today off. Then yesterday at work happened and it totally killed it. Such a crappy day, I felt like a worthless employee. It was like no matter how much I thought through something and was confident in my result, it was the exact opposite of what I should have done.

I have those days alot.

I'm going out of town for two days for work and no internet, so the discussion will have to wait. I just have one thing off the top of my head, and it's about eastern Asia. I read an article that said China would likely overtake the US's GDP in I think 12 or 15 years with the current growth rates. So they definitely are doing something right at least in that sense. However, they also have almost four times the population of the US. Shouldn't they have four times the GDP? Granted they were pretty bad for a long time under the Commies, but I think if they ever do get 4x US GDP, they'll run into the same problem the US has been having with trying to be the world power. One country can't do it alone. The world market has changed, it needs many more even countries.

Asia is one thing. I far too often find my self in line with what was said earlier by Sean. The EU now has a new head. The last idiot was horrible. The new EU head has the chance to take over.

I'm not concerned with China or russia, nothing even close. I have not been to China, but what I have heard from people I know who have been and have family there, they are just now barely breaking into being industrial, much less information aged. They sure can reverse enginear things, but they are a reactive culture, and government. Local power is huge but it's not as global as most think.

Fawk I could be wrong.... who knows. I love the discussion though.

Matt when your looking for your 3rd world country to live, I suggest Thailand. Close to so much natural beauty. Many other wonders are local too. I would kill to see Angkor, some of the temples in china and the Taj.

I'm sure I'm probably wrong. On all of this, for that matter. I don't have an interest in government, really, just read or hear quips every now and then if some headline is interesting, so I'm sure all of you know more than I do. I don't care so I don't really pay attention, which is probably why I think it's fine.

I REAAEEAAALELELELLLYLLYLLLLY don't get the point of this forum but.......POOP!

The thread or the forum? The forum is for audio, the thread is for random bs'ing between members.

It always irks me when people don't know the difference between a thread and a forum, calling each thread a forum.

We are working with a few companies that are using motion to make their own energy. No batteries required

and since this is the hop, delayatop

So by making sweet love I could get myself to work?

I like that idea.

"babe, if you don't give me a BJ RIGHT NOW we will be late for work."

they aren't quite that far along, but hmmmmm

I like the dude getting his arm ripped off.

My dad almost had his arm ripped off when his shirt sleeve got caught in a grain auger. Luckily the shirt just ripped off and he only had a few cuts and bruises. My stepdad had a finger torn off when it got caught in a chain in a hay baler. Farm accidents happen.

[dem beats 1,223]

I'll even do the hard R&D work. I don't mind breaking a sweat in the name of science, progress, and a greener happier world.

I good while back a kid, here in MN I think, lost both arms to a large farm machine of some kind. It's part of that kind of work.

Your dad is definitely lucky on that one. A local guy around home had his finger almost entirely ripped off when he jumped to get off a tractor his wedding band caught and his finger was hanging by a shred of skin, luckily they were able to reattach it for him though.

Hence why I never wear any jewelry when working...

[vladd 26]

i knew a kid who was running down the hallway and jumped up to push a vent grating up (which was the intention) his finger slipped between the grills, his ring got caught and when he fell it popped the fucker right off.
