A professor has that solved and he demonstrated it. Just needs development money to mass produce. It also produces more power as it can be a lithium metal battery rather than lithium ion.
Saw that program. One very important thing they have not address is the charging time. As a matter of fact, they never mentioned it, which I think is the biggest issue facing electric cars. The range issue can be solved by building more charging stations IF charging time can be reduced to a few minutes like fueling up the tank with gasoline.

High CB, that was a very impressive video. Solves the problem of exploding batteries. Being made of plastics, I think that the charging time would be slow.

Back to the thread premise; I pretty much agree with this paper:

That's the paper I sighted. For all intend and purposes, the authors did not use a efficient burner for the study. The nasal report indicated the mod ii had an over all efficiency of more than 36% which I think is pretty good.
