Whats better than a battery?

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

I stepped on my scales this morning and they displayed the word Lo. Feeling chuffed for a few seconds I then got real and went in search of a 9 volt battery to replace the low one inside the scales.

Of course every size in the man drawer, but that one.

Aren't batteries a bit dated? I have watched countless in the future programmes and on Thunderbirds they plug a power cell into a solar panel and hey presto new charge.

Why havent we got something better than batteries by now? Or is that as far as tht particular science is going for small electrics?

Thoughts on the back of stamped addressed Raymond Baxter please.

You have a fine point and a correct one. In fact as soon as I replaced the battery the scales started talking dirty to me. In filthy, vile horrible untrue numbers!!!!!!!!

Methanol based fuel cells are close, but not fully commercial yet.

Dual power as in solar and battery...

Alas need around 100cm by 30cm panel for 20W on a bright summer day, and may only get 1W from that in winter, and of course need to be outside to use.

Now the new solar windows, used as a sunroof on car to supplement the car battery, i.e. reduce load from car stereo. Or charge a hydrids battery when parked on drive is an option.

Generally better and cheaper to be more energy efficient, e.g. when I moved into house replaced pond pump that ran at 60W with an 8W one, that is now also powered from solar panels (off grid - for when society collapses )

"Dual power as in solar and battery..."

I had (still have!) a school calculator that boasted of its dual power functionality.

It proudly boasted in the manual how the solar-powered calculator would continue to work without light because it had an on-board battery as a backup.

The manual failed to explain how I was meant to see the calculator screen in the dark!

Maybe one day we will be able to utilise power from the human body to power devices, and not in the old school pedal to power the lights.

Micro generators can already power watches, i.e. movement charges a capacitor to cope with those periods of inactivity.

Of course, given a nutrient stream the UK body is a pretty good heat producer. Heat can be used to create power...

One reason why Matrix style farms have been a theme in films and books

Is it not possible to get a wind turbine attached to the scales and utilise clean renewable energy in the quest for weight assessment??

We are all waiting for nano-technology to bring the promised benefits, in all aspects of human life from powercells which can fit on the point of a needle to injections of drugs carried to the source by nanobots...signing off Raymond Baxter...for my cryo-chamber.

Have you seen The Incredible Voyage? Or its modern counterpart Innerspace?

I believe that can happen. But the thought of some little man inside of me is pretty gruesome

It is and Donald Pleasance is the baddie and gets eaten slowly by a white blood cell. I read that the gunge they used was cold porridge! No expense spared for the special effects.
