Hi Kevin,
This sounds great! But the paper in your second link was published in Jan 1998. If this was going to be a real game changer, what happened? Why hasn't anyone been able to bring anything to market in 13 years, even a small start-up? If this makes regular flooded batteries so much more cost effective, why haven't the big battery manufacturers jumped all over this? You know that companies are spending literally billions of dollars per year and getting smaller returns than what this article claims.
One can make up a Global Conspiracy that is intentionally supressing the technology, but who would do that, and what would they gain?
To me, this looks like another "fantastic breakthrough" like the ones that you read about in Popular Science, that sound great but never materialize.
Still, if we're lucky, this might actually pan out. But I'm not holding my breath...
