An Israeli
firm, Phinergy, has created a technology that uses metal, air and water to
power a vehicle, reports ITRealms.
Metal-air
technology, ITRealms gathered, has been at the forefront of energy research for
years, due to its enormous energy potential, thus Phinergy's technological
breakthroughs allow it to efficiently utilize this potential for various
applications, outperforming conventional batteries.Since 2008,
Phinergy, benefiting from more than a decade of academic research at Bar-Ilan
University near Tel Aviv, has been successfully developing this technology by
utilizing the energy stored in metal.
Phinergy’s battery creates energy by combining aluminum and
ambient air with water, just as the company experts explained that the
difference between this process and other electric-powered vehicles is
comparable to the difference between a human scuba diver who must carry his
oxygen in a balloon on his back, and a fish, which simply utilizes the oxygen
contained in water by breathing through its gills. Due to the unique
technology, the battery is immune to CO2-related problems, which, according to
Phinergy, has been the leading cause of metal-air battery failure in the past.
One of the most attractive aspects of this technology is that
instead of having to refuel with gasoline every several hundred miles, or
having to recharge or exchange a battery, the only necessary ingredient for
refueling is water – a resource that is widely available, giving these cars a
range that is virtually unlimited and making them very cost-efficient.
