- ripple123, on 09/12/2009, -0/+22as always, ill believe it when i see it.
- depro9, on 09/12/2009, -0/+14We hear this every year "OMG a new breakthrough!" then nothing, same old same old.
- biofriendlyblog, on 09/11/2009, -0/+13"However, because the batteries are expected to perform on par with lithium-ion, and may potentially be much cheaper and less-toxic, there is no reason that they couldn’t outright replace lithium-ion as the battery of choice for all applications, including electric and extended-range vehicles."
What a thought....cool! :) - TJ11240, on 09/11/2009, -0/+11Every month I am amazed by new sustainable technologies. Lets hope a few of these can reach their potential.
- sals-a, on 09/12/2009, -0/+7I enjoy reading about all these energy related breakthroughs on Digg. Sensationalist headlines aside though really I get sick and tired of reading comments about how nothing will ever come of the said breakthrough.
You can't seriously expect to be using said technology by next week? Seriously enjoy it for what it is, a furthering of human knowledge which may flower in to a fantastic new technology or pave the way through greater understanding for even more amazing life changing technologies. - Deviouss, on 09/12/2009, -0/+4You can't expect the products to be released instantaneously. Most products have to go through a huge amount of tests before they can even be produced.
- swicken, on 09/12/2009, -0/+3It's more every week on digg.
Something new! It's going to revolutionize the world!
I'm all for new technologies but I'd prefer saving words like revolutionize until it's proven to be usable in large scale production. - dumptaker, on 09/12/2009, -0/+3And when the life of the battery is spent, you can dry it out and sprinkle it on your scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Algae-liciouis! - ugetab, on 09/12/2009, -0/+2It sounds too good to be true.
I hope it's true anyways. - getter1, on 09/12/2009, -1/+3Its like the matrix but with algae
- cowman1208, on 09/12/2009, -0/+2Soooo what you mean to tell me is that the Energizer bunny is going to war.... Just like pharmaceutical companies, suppress the cures and make money! Probably never see this in action.
- askantik, on 09/12/2009, -0/+2There's always people who bitch and moan about how slow work OTHER people are doing comes along. Meh.
- vaticdart, on 09/12/2009, -0/+1"And by the time this technology is actually ready to be mass produced in such a way as to be useful, batteries employing toxic materials will have achieved higher energy density making it so that no one cares about algae based batteries anymore."
Sigh... another non-issue revolution. - ripple123, on 09/12/2009, -0/+1um, duh.
- restlessmouse, on 09/12/2009, -0/+1"...making it possible to build the batteries on site in developing countries"
I thought everything was built on site in developing countries. - MizuhoChan, on 09/12/2009, -0/+1I'll take two.
- alpha88, on 09/12/2009, -0/+1wat.
- Darkangel754, on 09/12/2009, -0/+1A for effort
- hereticoftruth, on 09/13/2009, -0/+1Well, this sounds better than I thought it was. I was wondering how I was supposed to optimize the growth characteristics of the algae in my batteries to get the optimal amount of energy. No way was I going to take the responsability for that just to have a green battery. Why don't we go beyond greenspeak and say its a battery made of organic materials? It just might sell better that way to the consumers. Sounds even better than the eestor hype in some ways.
- doctorgrim, on 09/12/2009, -0/+1Title should read Evolutionary....NOT Revolutionary. We need more power for that word to fit.
- graminal, on 09/13/2009, -0/+1Maybe as light reflects off of the object and to your eyes, where it is then interpreted as an image of said object.
- r3bol, on 09/12/2009, -0/+1I thought the Energizer bunny would appreciate something a little more slimy shoved up his ass.
- drgnhtny, on 09/13/2009, -0/+0Forget batteries. I'm still sticking with the Hydrogen powered electric engines. Fill it up with hydrogen, just like gas, but longer range. Only produces water as a byprodct.

This thing is ridiculously awesome and these cars are already on the streets. - jimbo92107, on 09/12/2009, -1/+1What's it all about, Algae?
Good news from the Green Slime Department! - idarkiswordi, on 09/12/2009, -2/+2This team seems energetic about this bright idea!
- Brickedin21, on 09/12/2009, -1/+1i agree, im getting tired of reading about all of these energy technologies that are "green" but we will NEVER see them because they are not cost effective, and no one is going to change what we have. im pretty sure, algae batteries are not going to be replacing the batteries that we use today anytime soon.
- BrownyCub, on 09/12/2009, -0/+0....that is the gayest thing I've ever heard *said the fag*
- Fyffebudsy, on 09/12/2009, -0/+0From Sweden, Huh? I smell something.
Algae-Based Batteries Association: ABBA! Fishy indeed. - Deathcatbear, on 09/12/2009, -1/+0Whatever happened to those Oxygen Batteries being developed at MIT with a max increase of 10X storage and discharge speeds?? WTF!! ***** these batteries.. i want some 100% green OXYGEN batteries.. Just imagine one of those suckers in your car.. could go 10X longer.. and since they charge so much faster.. Long trips no problem. Since it uses Oxygen instead of harsh chemicals.. holy *****.. thats like the Savior of our energy needs.. or well a segment.
- TheEighth, on 09/12/2009, -5/+1as always, ill believe it when the ultrasonic waves i've emitted bounce off the object in question and travel back to my ear
