Looking at this new product announcement today, I'm trying to make sense of the impact of this powder and its energy density.
The leaflet for the TREKHY says that a 50 gram pack of powder currently produces 30watts of powder for greater than 1 hour.
Let's assume its exactly 1 hour to be conservative...
Multiplying that 50 grams out by 20 for 1 Kilogram of it, does this mean it could produce 600 watts for 1 hour for 1 kg (assuming you had a reactor that had been scaled up)
Which would be 600 watts per hour per kilogram energy density using current powder which is now going to be optimized?
Current LI-ION batteries have between 50 - 220 WH/KG energy density depending on chemistry used in the battery.
If HPQs powders increase this reactors effiency by up to 40% as the news release today proposed could this mean the powder for this reactor may be able to house somewhere in the neighborhood of 600-850 wh/kg of energy density?
I'm trying to get a handle in how much more efficient this might be to batteries.
(Yes i know a battery could be recharged and this is one time use) I'm interested in the energy density comparison.
