https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/b0063af3-b406-4689-a894-8dfc59bc8038 With the recent media activity surrounding Elon Musk's announcement of the new Tesla tabless battery technology, I thought I'd speculate on what they are going to be doing. I made this video before seeing their current tech (pleated copper foil at the negative end). The potential for this is cheaper cells that have a higher current capability and better heat dissipation. If they manage to make a solid core with schoopage contacts then it opens up the possibility of cells that resemble resin dipped metallised film capacitors. Here's a very interesting page on Wikipedia that shows the capacitor version of the technology:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_capacitor Other possibilities might be a mesh or patterned schoopage to allow penetration and flow of electrolyte. If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
