I like the idea of making nano particles in a semi-permeable skin using the elements of existing batteries. It could make more storage capacity possible and the changes to manufacture batteries this way could be added for a reasonable start cost.
This would be taking battery plates and making nanoparticles in place of them held in positions just as they are now but using a specialized permeable skin to hold them in solution. Could make any of the existing designs and technology for batteries we currently have, more efficient because of the increased surface area.
Gold nanoparticles give off heat according to some things I’ve read but how could that increase battery capacity or heat homes or fuel cars? Carbon nanoparticles have interesting properties but how viable are they in production?
My other favorite idea from the brainstorming possibilities for fuel alternatives is to make more direct and even amplified changes from input power to mechanical power. It seems that would be helpful.
