Sunvault Energy and Edison Power Company Create Massive 10,000 Farad Graphene Supercapacitor - Seite 2

In a recent past release by Sunvault, the company CEO spoke of the pricing as it relates to the home off the grid strategy with the following quote from CEO, Gary Monaghan: "Currently the cost to manufacture a lithium battery is about $500 (USD) per/ kWh. Tesla recently announced a Super Factory to be built in Nevada, with a promise to get the price of lithium batteries down to $150 USD per kWh by 2020, our current cost estimated for this type of graphene base supercapacitor is about $100 per kWh today and we feel confident we should be able to cut this pricing in half by the end of 2015"

The Sunvault / Edison Graphene Supercapacitor is completely safe to use, it will not catch fire, does not require safety equipment that can fail and poses no risk to the environment; because it is carbon based, it could be put in your garden to help grow vegetables. The same cannot be said for Lithium Batteries, which on the Government's Transport Canada Website are listed as dangerous goods. (Transport Canada Website) Some of the examples on the website include:

• Computer batteries have heated up and caused fires on cargo and passenger planes.
  
  
• A charging lithium ion battery exploded on a mini-submarine designed to carry U.S. Navy SEALs to shore.
  
  
• A passenger's camera batteries began smoking at the boarding gate.
  
  
• Two large battery packs in a checked baggage began smouldering. The bag burst into flames when an airline agent picked it up.
  
  
• During a flight, crew found a flashlight's counterfeit lithium metal battery overheating and giving off a strong odour. The damaged battery burned the inside of the flashlight.
  
  

"Graphene based Supercapacitors are carbon based, and form no toxicity threat to the environment, unlike the lithium battery and our opinion is that no one should be putting several thousand pounds of these Lithium cells in close proximity to the house or on their walls " stated Gary Monaghan. There is an ample supply of graphite to make graphene or if you do not choose graphite there are other carbon based elements to make graphene, while Lithium supplies are finite" he continued.
