A man who invented lithium-ion battery at 57 has an idea for a new one at 92 (2015)
&gt;In short, the world needs a super-battery.<p>Prediction: If for a given battery, rechargeable or otherwise, Lithium-Ion or otherwise, energy is drained via a pulsed DC (alternating) frequency (think LC coil) rather than direct DC, and if this frequency is switched at regular intervals (let&#x27;s say at least once a second) -- then the battery should drain slower at a given current level -- than via direct DC (at the same current level) alone...<p>Reason: Everything in the universe, including metals, including metal oxides, resonate at given (asymmetric, in the case of two or more different substances) frequencies.  Electricity is what naturally seeks the balance between those things.  But if you disrupt&#x2F;interrupt the way Nature flows her electricity and keep doing this quickly, over a long period of time, you&#x27;ll preserve (for a longer period) the asymmetry that allows the electricity to exist in the first place!<p>I&#x27;ll bet a 5% longer lifetime out of any battery could be realized -- by &quot;switching it up&quot; -- the frequency (using Pulsed DC) at which the device is drained, that is!
