It does seem batteries are a large barrier to all of this electric car business.
Is there any other energy storage method that can work? Like pressurized gas (As some windfarms use)? All of you physics and chemical guys speak up?
I purposely needed to destroy my cell phone (long story about evil cell phone company) So I started this quest one afternoon.
First I started by throwing the phone against a wall several times. Still worked.
Then I proceeded to fill the bathroom sink with water and let the phone soak. Phone still worked.
The final blow was when I popped the phone in the microwave for a quick 5 second blast. I saw sparks coming up through the keys (transistors blowing) After that, the phone turned on, but all I could see was lines criss crossing back and forth on the screen.
Enough for me! I claimed insurance on it and got out of the mess my cell phone company put me in.

This was before they got smart and I told them I dropped it.
