I have one more week in Port Macquarie before return home to Mittagong so we’ve been hard at work on the granny flat project. The owner managed to enlist a couple of extra helpers this week so we got a lot done including…
Completing the cladding on the north wall with some of the old weatherboards we took off the west wall.
Building the deck framing.
Sanding the old garage floors ready for sealing.
Waterproofing the bathroom and tiling the floor.
Building the frame for the carport ready for roofing.
And building a retaining wall…
All with the help of our resident supervisor.
Revolutionary Battery Technology
Meanwhile I came across this article from New Atlas this week which describes a completely new type of battery technology. Here’s the first paragraph… the rest of the article is well worth a read.
California company NDB says its nano-diamond batteries will absolutely upend the energy equation, acting like tiny nuclear generators. They will blow any energy density comparison out of the water, lasting anywhere from a decade to 28,000 years without ever needing a charge. They will offer higher power density than lithium-ion. They will be nigh-on indestructible and totally safe in an electric car crash. And in some applications, like electric cars, they stand to be considerably cheaper than current lithium-ion packs despite their huge advantages.
