@perestroika thank you again for your input. i knew that metal-air batteries/cells are like very novel but it seems they are unfeasible beyond TRL 3 for now. and the point on the military ignoring the energy expenditures is very valid actually. thanks again :blobheart:

@perestroika @Wahots thanks for the breakdown! a short question: so military aviation applications need less km range or is it something else that leads to the conclusion of military tech direction. it's very frustrating seeing the hard work we make for the benefit of our energy community as researchers ending up in military applications :tiredcat2: :firepoop: how can we avoid this?

@Rekall_Incorporated unless it's for lithium recycling, any research on lithium batteries and technology right now feels like wasted energy and human potetial. #lithium mines are a man-made plague in this planet than need to be minimized. why not work on sodium #batteries instead and cleanner more efficient lithium #recycling? at least this way we can be more resilient for our green technologies, while working towards #degrowth goals in the global north.
