Title: Linear Labs HET motor
Post by: Alan Stewart on March 27, 2019, 08:45:36 PM: Sounds promising for electric motorcycles - significantly higher torque and power with less size and weight. Also more efficient. And it doesnâ€™t appear to be vaporware.

Just about every battery announcement IS vaporware.

It certainly seems that way, especially to the average electric power enthusiast who would like to purchase one of those new battery designs that never seem to make it to the consumer market. :(

Did they stop at regular capacitors? No they made ultra capacitors.

Wouldn't a battery which has dissimilar metals not prefer dissimilar electrolytes? I say who knows but it sounds good.
By doubting this advancement your siding with the pro dendrites crowd.

(joking of course, but this does seem like a simple bridge solution that's worth a try to see what the negative trade offs may be.)

Sounds perfect for a Navy torpedo motor. ;)
