Something to consider is that, like LED bulbs, how hard you drive a incandescent bulb has a huge effect on it's lifespan. Unlike LED bulbs though, a incandescent lightbulb has the highest chance of failure when you turn it on (likely due to thermal shock on the filament) which means that if you run a incandescent light bulb 24/7 then it has a much lower chance of failure compared to one that is turned on and off constantly. If you run that bulb that is running 24/7 at a fraction of it's rated power then you also vastly increase it's lifespan. In other words, if you look at photos of that fire station bulb you will notice that it is extremely dim which means that it is running at a fraction of the power that a regular bulb would be running at and it has been running pretty much 24/7 in that low power state which avoids both conditions that lead to failure.

Hi, am a retired electrical engineer that worked for many years as a consultant for electricity distributers. You are so spot on regarding "community" electricity generation and storage. Not only will there be less pressure on the grid transmission system (with its visually disruptive pylons all over the countryside, including areas of natural beauty), but they will also be less dependent on monopolistic utilities, replaced with local accountability. And yes, the local green energy revolution is so so dependent on battery technology that is affordable, energy dense, reliable and environmentally friendly. If this happens, earth will certainly be a better place.

Local stationary energy storage for sustainable energy systems doesn't require high energy density though, which is the expensive part and also the very dangerous part. For bulk stationary storage the only requirement is that it's very cheap per unit of storage and can operate at part-charge without damage. Unfortunately, lead-acids don't fit the bill because even though they're relatively cheap and very safe, they get damaged unless maintained at 100% charge. Nickel-based chemistries are too expensive, lithium-ion is far too dangerous in large aircraft-hangar sized installations and tends to be very expensive as well. Perhaps LFP (lithium ferrophosphate) cells would be a good intermediate solution for local bulk storage but they are still far too expensive. Their cycle life and calendar life are outstanding, though. For large cities like Toronto, Montreal, NYC, L.A. and the like, having huge local battery storage systems might be a really good idea to relieve power stations from conditions of peak demand. It's just that battery technology is too dangerous and much too expensive right now. The highest possible energy density is only necessary for EVs, and is especially necessary for electric aircraft. The best current battery tech is much too dangerous and expensive, so even the best EVs are a very costly niche product and likely will remain so for many decades. They can get away with it for relatively small numbers of very expensive luxury & performance oriented vehicles, but EV still have no way to compete with internal combustion engines for low cost and high practicality & convenience. Long-range low-cost practical air travel entirely on green energy is a dream for the future--and an actual goal for the *distant* future.

As a South African who experiences Loadshedding each day (rolling blackouts of up to 12.5 hrs a day), many of us who can afford it, have gone solar. Our home is now completely free from grid power. We have aircons, PCs, washing machines, dishwashers and all other home appliances running completely free every day. During rainy days we still generate enough solar energy to cover the base load of the house and trickle charge the batteries till, in most cases, even full. We went all out with our batteries. No expense saved there. And so far they have been paying off big time. Since the commissioning of our system our electricity usage quadrupled because we now had a near infinite supply. So much so that we literally have no load to spend 50% of the possible kWh's that we can generate from the sun. Currently we're looking at a way for homeowners in our security estate, with similar excess electricity to supply our excess back into our estate's grid so that other homes can use it. As crap as Loadshedding has been for us, it is also a blessing, since it forces us to cater for ourselves causing our corrupt government to lose the last little bit of power over us that they have.

Light bulbs, assuming you’re talking about the incandescent kind, like many things, involve a tradeoff. In this case it’s a tradeoff between lifespan and efficiency. The most efficient lightbulb is the one which burns the hottest, but that also has the shortest life. Conversely, you can make a bulb which will last many years but it will be terribly inefficient. Incandescent lightbulbs have long been designed for a medium lifespan/efficiency. It has nothing to do with making money.

I love the idea of these new batteries that would last longer with more power than normal lithium ion batteries but my first thought was that the main manufacturers for batteries wouldn't want to make these readily available, companies like duracel would probably be opposed to new batteries and I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened with the advancement of lightbulb technology, they got too advanced and the companies producing them weren't making enough money for it to be effective so they purposely made worse lightbulbs.

No. If someone developed a new leap in battery technology to hold us over until Lithium Air comes around? They would be disgustingly rich. Remember it isn't just one company striving for it. It is literally countries. America, China, all of Western Europe are researching it for not just civilian, but military uses. Solid State is coming out in 2024. I'm really hoping more break throughs on lithium air can. Therotically they have the best maximum potential, and can be made to draw air from the environment making them hold up to 12.7kw kg. Anyway technology moves to rapidly for old companies to try to stagnant a technology so important to civilization. Governments would get involved.

The world of today isnt the same as 100 years ago where information traveled very slowly, if ever. It was a different time and opportunity to create artificial scarcity. Besides, its not really the battery manufacturer that is concerned but the current energy providers and the politicians on their payroll. It's why Biden wont acknowledge Tesla corp, but praise Gm and Ford as leaders of electrification when they barely sold a few thousand cars. Meanwhile tesla had about a million on the roads already. It's also why UAE pivot to invest in entertainment/sports because they see the writings on the wall. For decades, battery development was undermined, since the oil crisis of the 70's basically, when people thought of changing the whole thing. It was even recognized by governments. The whole thing could have been much further, but at last, it's finally happening

Cobalt is mainly obtained as a secondary product from copper and nickel extraction. The sulfur batteries you mentioned exhibit a significant self-discharge rate.

If you are talking of extracting lithium from rock deposits, then you are right, it takes at least five years to get a new mine into production. But high-lithium geothermal brines are being discovered in huge quantities in many countries (Salton Sea region in USA, Elsass in France, Cornwall in UK, etc), and those can be developed very quickly, as they involved no mining operation, just drilling + a lithium extraction plant, and have a minimal environmental footprint, so they can be developed within a densely populated region. The heat from the brines also allow the operation to generate its own energy, with a surplus!

When I looked into solar for my home I calculated that with the battery backup systems currently available it would never actually pay for its self. Although the company trying to sell it to me said it would pay for itself in 14 years. What they did not consider is that the battery had to be replaced in 10 years and the inverter in 12. From what I have read lithium really does not like hot humid climates either so that could have cut the life as well. The battery was half the cost of the ststem.

That is a very good summary of the current state the art in battery technology. Some minor comments: EV companies are increasingly using LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries that do not require cobalt or nickel. Sodium ion batteries are very promising for cheap grid storage but they are too heavy to be practical in EVs. Overall, I enjoyed this episode.

1.Step up converters are more important vs batteries.😊 2. Nuclear decaying batteries do not need to be recharged, or replaced for extended periods 50-100+ years. Have been in use in satellites for 30+ years. 3. Solid state batteries are not good in sub zero applications.

Most will laugh, but others, very few, will exclaim vile blasphemy, pronounce a vile curse on me., and then laugh because they find it funny also. Same goes for Andoid users. My manager is a huge Apple fanatic. One day, one of my Apple devotee friends ran to bossman and wailed how I was mocking the Mac. I was immediately called to be dressed down. Bossman said to me "Duce, you know your coworker is a huge snowflake. Please dont taunt him...unless I'm there."The whole office busted out laughing, even the "snowflake." I'm 70 and the "snowflake is also a boomer, about six years younger. I really dont want to retire I live my job, the people I work with, and especially the bossman. Worked with him for over 35 years

yeaa that would be quite difficult to make a solid state battery with high capacity and high current capability (there are already solid state batteries just for keeping the bios of the computers because they have long life). Current batteries are made from foils with the cative substance on them and separators rollsed together. It would be quite difficult to roll a ceramic separator. Also between 2 solid surfaces there are only a few points of contact and it would be difficult to make the electrodes and the electrolyte/separator so flat. As a consequence the current provided is very small.

I really like the idea of the FeO2 battery. Yeah, it's big and heavy, but 30,000+ cycles, near zero safety hazards, and cheap production means a lot. And it's not like we're short of space. Spend 1 acre of land for iron oxide batteries and power the nearby village. And it's all powered by just rusting some metal and then un-rusting it when the sun's out.

Also flow batteries. Not sure where it's at, currently. Then to recharge it may be more efficient putting the spent liquid in a special solar cell. UV and violet/blue light has more energy. Flow batteries are generally more scalable since marginal cost of storage isn't so bad.
