Physicists develop graphene based energy harvesting circuit for 'limitless' power generation...

And if EBR developed a new subtopic forum called "New technology developments in batteries or ebike technology" or something along those lines, we could have one place as a resource to look back on or check out all those wonderful battery technology related posts that people like Ravi have started.

Anyhoo, here is one potential interesting article (graphene 'energy harvesting circuit'= 'limitless power' - based on 'motion' of the graphene atoms) for that forum if it ever gets created....

Physicists build circuit that generates clean, limitless power from graphene

A team of University of Arkansas physicists has successfully developed a circuit capable of capturing graphene's thermal motion and converting it into an electrical current.

Limitless is a big word. Here’s hoping this tech comes to fruition.

So silicon solar panels are running $210 to $330 for 400 W. About $80 less than I paid 10 years ago. Can graphene beat that price? Sunlight is a thermal source, also a source of Heinrich Hertz effect electrons. The most prevalent thermal energy source unless you're going to dig a well and harvest geothermal energy. Solar still doesn't pay here where it rains 220 days a year.

I'm very optimistic that we will see some significant improvements in battery technology in the next 5 years. Batteries will become both lighter and more powerful. If the cost and weight can be reduced, ebikes will become that much more popular. If you see what is being developed for electric cars, a lot of that trickle down to bicycles.

Defies the laws of Physics with "LimitLess" power.

I hate claims like that (limitless).
