Tech company unveils tiny spheres that outperform solar panels using both sun and artificial light — and the company says they could hit 60 times the current capacity (msn.com) Of course, it sounds too good to be true, but its true. This kind of solar power is enough you won't need batteries for a car, or an airplane, but people will use supercapacitors, just because they're cheaper and don't add weight or take up space. Purskevite solar panels are making progress as well, which should turn out to be the cheap alternative. Essentially, they're using nested spheres to ensure the light never escapes, and just goes down their rabbit hole. Theoretically, its possible to do the same thing with a 2d metamaterial, merely stacking layers, but their spheres are obviously a good alternative we can make right now, and off the damn charts. Cars and planes will look funny, and Hollywood will have catch up. Its just to weird, to think of cars that never have to be charged. RVs are about to get really weird. People use expensive DC appliances in RVs, that are no longer necessary. Such as a fridge.
OMG, I've never seen a more phony looking scam. We've gone over this before, there is only so much power in a square meter of sunlight. If current panels are 20% efficient, the best we could hope for is somewhere under 5X. Good grief, WHITE balls? With little windows on the top? LOL, they put flashlights up to them and they're glowing!? This is hilarious. These fools don't even know what light absorption looks like.
