New idea for bottom paint

www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-18623840

Now we could just paint our batteries on the bottom! Thats it, I'm waiting for this bottom paint to be developed. Need more amp hours just add another coat on! Technology is great.

Re: New idea for bottom paint

Not too worried about stray current and corrosion, are you? This will be a good invention for the new computerized clothing, however. Pretty cool.

There was some minor thing about outdoor or wet environments at the end of the article but I figure it's just a matter of time and they will sort all that out. Those details I tend to leave to people who know what they are talkin about...me, I'm a dreamer!
