Energy at Night(Liquid Battery)
As many people know, scientists keep creating new types of solar power to help the world with global warming. Light is present for about half of the day; but what do we do when it becomes night? Donald Sadoway a true inventor has created a prototype liquid battery that can convert night light into energy. Because of this we can now collect energy on a twenty-four hour basis. This will help our world tremendously. Also these types of batteries can last much longer then conventional batteries, and they are much cheaper. The battery works by electrodes, which are molten metals, and electrolytes start to conduct a current between them, which happens to be a molten salt. This results in a device that can quickly absorb large amounts of electricity. Due to some effects in test trials with the battery, Donald Sadoway hopes to realese a commercial product in about five years.

sorry the site for this article is at http://www.technologyreview.com/energy/22116/page1/
Maybe this will solve our economy too, ha. Did you know that by saving the use of conventional batteries we will have less acid deposits also benefiting the earth.

Intresting... this uses the infared light that the earth emits to capture energy.

This battery can be very helpful for households and medical/rescue teams for flashlights that might be needed. This battery is amazing because its economic friendly and also can put out 13,000 megawatts.

This is really good for the environment. Did you know that molten magnesium is the top electrode, in the middle there is the electrolyte and molten antimony is the bottom part of the electrode?

Always good to see advances in technology that will help conserve energy and hopefully increase productivity. Technologies like this will be what helps usher in a new era of conservation.
Here are some more facts.
