This Algae Battery Could Power A Tesla With 200X The Charge

File:Al11

In a small lab, near a lake at the edge of West Berkeley, sits the prototype of what could revolutionize battery power as we know it. The secret to this power? Algae.

OK, just hang with me here. Lots of research has already been done on algae’s possible power capabilities. Prototype creator Adam Freeman says this new kind of battery, the one he’s working on, could power even a Tesla. And he says it could do it 200X greater than the current lithium-based battery used today.

He’s created a research company called alGAS that aims to prove just that.

Freeman says the algae battery also charges faster and lasts longer than current ion batteries used in, say, your cell phone, iPad… or a Tesla. As Freeman explains, paper-thin fibers in algae provide an easier surface for ions to get through, resulting in a charge in as little as 11 seconds, not minutes or hours.

Here is how a current battery charges, using lots of what we currently mine may be going extinct or, worse, cause cancer: File:Al21


















The moment I knew what I wanted to do

Living-Ink-Technology.jpg

What do I make?


Project1.jpg


I like to explore and combine different techniques and merge them into the graphic design field. I have been exploring the possibilities with electronics and interactive design...like interactive posters. The goal for the future work is to achieve more skills in digital crafts and make my own unique visual and create new tools to be used in my field of study.


What is my topic of interest?

bio-sustainable conductive ink, plants and conductivity, make a conductive ink by using plant pigment


Conductive book sm.jpg


What is my medium?

silk screen/ bio-ink/ arduino (or/and additional things to be added)


M36 vinylsilkscreen.jpg
