Pretty genius. Molten salts are corrosive and this is probably much less corrosive than that. Rather than using CSP to heat the molten salts and combine it with water to drive a turbine, this aims to harness the heat and the light to power solar panels. Very nice.
@@davemwangi05 Actually, no. The heat and light are directly converted to electricity. Look at the video again. The system is actually super efficient, If they can get the right materials to conduct and contain the lava-like liquid in side it.
2:12 So 1kwh/l ? Liquid hydrogen has 2kwh/l and 30kwh by kg, The round trip efficiency might be similar, but hydrogen can be used in the transport sector or in the natural gas grid which in that case its efficiency utility increase.
While Hydrogen has round trip efficiency of 40%, storing it in liquid state is energy-intensive and expensive. This design appears to have promise. I know there are a few university labs trying to master their own thermionic photovoltaic converter, which seems to be the most difficult part.
Im not sure i got it right....what is the purpose of effort you spend on what i see as a battery form that is so far behind what other companies are able to do today. Im no expert in price of one another, but i know of alu battery that has a density of 8kwh per kg - i dont know what a liter of alu weight is but it will cost like 2dollar. It sound like a stupid job to make electricity and convert it to heat so you can store it and then convert it back to electricity, i would guess you have a loss of energy in both converting cases. Why is it needed to store ultra high temperature heat? If you can make that heat why isnt it possible to make it all 24/7? Around here we use more energy during daytime, so if you think you can produce more energy during daytime, then why dont you just sell it to the grid? You do know there is markets for energy and price is best during daytime. This is waste of money, if you can make this kind of heat i guess you can make it whenever you like.
Because renewable energy is nt stable..like u need wind day for wind turbine .u need sun for solar...when they re arent .u need some kind of battery to stored and discharge later to feed the demand.
what are you bitter for? You're screaming at them yet you don't even know that electricity demand is higher in the evenings and very low during midday when solar is producing it's max.
Unnesseially complicated and very expensive. China and India are building a new coal powered electric plant every week. Just more scientific propaganda from the Climate Alarmists crowd.
Both, China and India are turning away from coal to renewables! www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/mar/22/coal-power-plants-green-energy-china-india Coal in 'freefall' as new power plants dive by two-thirds. In January (2017), China's energy regulator halted work on a further 100 new coal-fired projects, suggesting the trend was not going away. So this statement is rubbish!

Brilliant design. I hope this becomes reality.
I love it - I'm experimenting with lower temp phase change materials for individual home heat storage for household heating. thank your the video.

fficiency? 20%?

Different technology. Hydrogen is a good solution but not for all applications. Moreover, Silicon + Boron alloys can at least match H2 capacity

Interesting and promising, with the exception of the thermionic-photovoltaic part, this is a joke

What abt night
Pull up to the shady station and put a hot one in your scooter.
so have 30k salt at home to produce power no thanks
