Default Electric flight is coming

Electric planes will fly circles around gasoline planes in
the near future.

"In the drive to devise more efficient and durable batteries, one
promising option uses carbon nanotubes, which not only can store far
more electricity by weight than lithium ion batteries but also retain
their charge for a much longer time."

Also, I included this video for conceptualization purposes only.
The battery pack weighs 200lbs. In 10 years this will make a good
comedy film. It's like looking at a steam engine in a volkswagon.
(however it does fly) The new generation of technology will shrink
that battery pack down to 5lbs, and the size of a cigar box.
Once that occurs, you will see power beyond your imagination
that will outrun a Cessna Corvalis TT.

This "news" is over 6 years old and no progress on a commercial product.

Yet another technology that will go main stream any day now like fusion.

When are we going to have the dilithium crystals necessary for this
technology?

Battery weight is simply a matter of chemistry -- and that imposes
severe limits on its ability to carry charge.

Query: Then why is it dated April 2010??

ITYM Cold fusion, which is theoretical. Carbon technology is real.

As soon as you improve your popcorn.

No sir that isn't correct. Battery weight is the mass of the
container and it's contents. The chemistry is optional.
The charge is electrical. It may exist in highly efficient
molecular structures superior to the lead and acid water
of the 1800's.

Because you are to stupid to back track the story to find that the original
announcement was made in 2005.

Any controlled fusion.

Cold fusion isn't theoretical, it is fantasy.

The word "to" indicates direction, indicates position, or
forms an infinitive. The word "two" sounds just like it.
It represents the numerical value between one and
three.

I think the word you were grasping for is "too". It can
mean, "as well", "more than is desired", or "extremely".
It sounds just like the former two words. Hope this
helps. Best of luck to you and your partner, Butt-head.
