Obviously, the problem with electric airplanes is range. It's doubtful if
electricity storage will ever reach the energy density of gasoline. One
thing that amazes me is that electrons weight almost nothing. A charged
battery, for all practical purposes, weighes the same charged or not - the
energy the battery contains weighs nothing. It seems like the boffins could
figure out a way to pressurize a container with electrons.


Did you know that just as many electrons leave the battery as go back
into it? It's strange but true that electrical devices don't actually
consume electrons and yet they get their energy from the electrons...
