Toshiba says it has developed a light and thin prototype battery that recharges 80 percent of capacity in just a minute, and it will market it commercially in 2006. The development "makes long recharge times a thing of the past," the company said in a statement to AFP. One minute is roughly 60 times faster than typical lithium-ion batteries. The new battery measures 62 millimeters (2.48 inches) by 35 and is 3.8 millimetres thick. It also has a long life, losing only one percent of capacity after 1,000 cycles of discharging and recharging and can operate at temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius (minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit), the company said.

Toshiba Corp. has developed a lithium-ion battery the company said features the short rechargeable time of capacitors and the energy capacity of conventional lithium-ion batteries. Toshiba's new battery can recharge 80 percent of the battery's energy capacity in one minute, approximately 60 times faster than the typical Li-ion batteries.

The energy density is 150 to 250 Wh (Watt-hour)/liter, equal to the lower range of energy densities existing lithium ion batteries have. Advanced Li-ion rechargeable batteries reach densities of 600 Wh/l. "It should be the world first lithium ion battery that can be charged in one minute. The battery has a big potential. It could be used for mobile phones in the future, but we put the priority on applications such as automobiles that require quick recharging time and large cycle time," said Norio Takami, Laboratory leader of Advanced Functional Materials laboratory at Toshiba's Corporate Research and Development Center.

Toshiba has developed a new Lithium-ion battery which charges up to 80% of it’s capacity in just 1 minute.  Toshiba's prototype battery has a capacity of 600mAh and measures.8mm thick, 62mm high and 35mm deep. It was demonstrated in hard disc music player for about 10 minutes by charging 5 milliwatts in 5 seconds. According to a Toshiba Lab spokesman, the battery shows less than 1 percent deterioration in capacity after 1,000 cycles of discharging and recharging. The battery is planned to be available in 2006. Here are more details from the eetimes.com.

Toshiba achieved the breakthrough by using nanoparticles of several hundred nanometers coated uniformly on the negative electrode and newly developed electrolytic solution. This stable formulation does not react with lithium ions at the cathode in a manner that would lower the battery's cycle time. The electrolytic solution and nanoparticles enable large number of lithium ions move quickly to the cathode and store in the particles in recharging mode. With the stable electrolyte solution, the battery discharges 80 percent of its capacity at minus 40 degrees centigrade, compared to 100 percent discharge at 25 degrees centigrade for conventional Li-ion batteries. In the high temperature operation, Toshiba reported that the capacity deteriorates by only 5 percent at temperatures of 45 degrees centigrade after 1,000 cycles of discharging and recharging.

So if we can't have longer-lived batteries, Toshiba's new Super Charge cells may be the next best thing. The company claims the new cell charge to 80 percent of its capacity in just 60 seconds and cap top out in just "a few minutes more." Not only that, but after 1000 charge cycles, the lithium-ion cell loses only 1 percent of its charging capacity. Two of these cells and a nearby power outlet and you'll be able to stay mobile indefinitely.

Teflon-coated yarn 06/16/2004 10:20 AM
A Norweigan company has shipped a teflon-coated knitting yarn that sheds water and is intended for use in all-weather knitting projects.

I was curious to see if the fibers would even allow water, being coated with Teflon and all. They did, but not before showing a curious phenomenon: the water lodged itself in the pockets of each stitch, making hundreds of tiny diamond-like bubbles all over the fabric surface.

The Truth About Lithium Ion Batteries

The Truth About Lithium Ion Batteries 06/24/2005 07:08 PM

The comedian Jerry Seinfeld had a joke that the only warning label people took seriously was “dry clean only.”” But I think I found another one: the “charge this device completely before you attempt to use it for the first time”” warning. People lose their minds at the the thought of trying a new cell phone or MP3 player until it has charged its heart out for hour and hours on end. According to this…

Half coated mirrors are a great
technique.....

Half coated mirrors are a great
technique..... 04/27/2004 01:13 PM

This reminds me of a project we did at Bally-Midway in 1982 called 10 Ten Deluxe.

It was a shuffleboard bowling game with had a half-way mirror displaying the bowling pins - in the proper position - but they were really 90 degrees tilted, out of view.  A half coated mirror made it appear as if the pins were right in front of you, and you'd 'bowl' with a shuffle puck.

This technique has always been the solution to a REAL BIG problem that exists for video conferewncing.

Ever been in a video conference?  Ever looked at someone eye to eye?  You can't.

'Cause the person on the other side is being videoed by a camera which is NOT the display and the human is looking at the display.  So a half coated mirror technique (sort of like the drawing below) would enable us to both look at the display and be videoed at the proper angle.

The technique in this post is a little scarier. I'm not sure if I want lasers so close to my eyes.  But a camera shooting through a half coated mirror to solve this problem - sounds fine to me.

Here's the post.......

 

Laser vision.

You'll have to feel totally comfortable with beaming lasers into your eyes to want to try this out, but a company called Microvision has come out with the Nomad Expert Technician System, which uses a wireless computer and a sort of monocle to project a virtual image by beaming lasers directly into the retina.

Microvision says they're perfectly safe (they better hope so!), and the US Army is already using them in Iraq to give soldiers a heads-up display with a view of the entire battlefield. Next up, they're being tested by surgeons, who would actually be able to see inside of their patients or keep taps on vital data like heart rate and blood pressure during surgery, and Honda is trying it out with its auto mechanics, who would be able to view car diagnostic and repair information while working. Right now the quality of the images is pretty low, but you know that they'll eventually get it right and it'll be full-color, fully immersive virtual reality for everyone. Or at least everyone who can afford it right now the Nomad Expert Technician System costs four grand.
