Super Battery Could Change the World. Great Science Fair Project.

Small size batteries with super power and longevity could revolutionize almost everything.

Imagine owning and driving a car with a very small battery with enough power to drive for 50,000 miles before needing recharging. You would eliminate the need for gasoline, gasoline stations, fossil fuels, and all of the contamination caused by burning oil. You would change the health potential and longevity of the entire world by getting rid of pollution in the air and the sea. What great subject matter for cool and winning science fair projects for all grade levels.

This same battery could power large tankers and cruise ships and recreational vehicles. Tens of thousands of boats and ships that ply the waters of the world, would sail clean and free of burning oil and polluting the seas and all the creatures in it.

Everything from golf carts, to fork lift trucks, to motorcycles and multitudes of other small vehicles would be gasoline and diesel free. Just take the case of the family that lives ...
... in a recreational vehicle. If they live in the vehicle full time, they probably drive 20,000 miles a year. With an average gasoline consumption of 10 miles to the gallon, that would consume 2000 gallons of gas at a cost of $3.00 per gallon. Just this one family would save $6000. a year on gasoline alone and pump no pollutants into the environment.

Health care costs and the need for medical care would drop because the health problems caused by pollution would virtually disappear. Kids from all around the world would have a fine time creating science fair projects on this subject.

The technology needed to create such a family of batteries may not be as far off as you might think.

Research has recently revealed that a new material possesses the most condensed energy almost comparable to nuclear energy. Scientists were able to condense very high pressure into a very small space. This technology shows a lot of promise to create a super battery.

Hundreds of thousands of commercial and recreational boats could be equipped with batteries that last for years. They could run their electronic equipment, self steering systems, refrigerators, freezers, running lights and cabin lights, instrumentation, global positioning systems, navigation equipment and all other sorts of electrical equipment without the worries associated with ordinary batteries.

Home owners could obtain electric heating systems run by batteries and also obtain their air conditioning and lighting systems as well as cooking, refrigeration and all other devices like TV, radio and other entertainment systems.

Imagine having flashlights with tiny batteries that last virtually forever. And then there is the noise reduction. What would it be like to walk down the main street in your town and have hundreds of cars and trucks passing by every hour with virtually no noise? Just how would that affect the birds and other animals that life in our environment?

The possible changes to health, the environment, pollution, noise, elimination of fossil fuels and other results of this developing technology would create a whole new field of science and discovery. Students of all grade levels would find fascinating subject matter for projects for science fair.

How would the fish and other sea life be affected if the noise created by tens of thousands of vessels were eliminated. And just how would this sea life be affected if the pollution caused by the burning of gasoline and oil and diesel fuel stop altogether. The population of the world that goes hungry every day because of lack of food would nourish themselves on the enormous increase in edible sea life. This subject alone could be a wonderful science fair research project. How many resources would be freed from the need for medical attention if the maladies caused by pollution were eliminated. Hospitals, HMO‘s, doctors, pharmaceutical companies and others in the medical field would need to change their directions entirely. The governments of the world would save untold sums of money on health care as well as every individual family. How much longer would we live? Have fun with this speculation, for some day it may turn out to be real.
