The battery that lasts forever invented by an Italian arrives
The invention of the engineer Lisini risks leading the revolution of the next technological generation thanks to its battery that lasts forever.The invention of an engineer from Voghera called Gianni Lisini really risks leading the revolution of the next technological generation, since he invented a battery that lasts forever and has earned the nickname "new Volta". Researcher at the Iuss University of Pavia, Lisini has been dealing with astrophysics for years and the encounter with this invention comes from a daily necessity.As Lisini said, the work behind the research has been very tiring. Solving the problem of having to change or recharge batteries often led him to patent the idea in Italy and abroad. However, the validation process is a rather expensive process and, in addition to the filing fees, you have to wait a year to be recognized that your invention is unique.
Presented to the general public during the Jotto Fair in Pisa, or an event organized precisely by the University's Technology Transfer Office that enhances the results of the research. Lisini revealed the operation of the invention and also managed to arouse the interest of the various entrepreneurs and possible funders of the project.
On a practical level, the researcher and engineer explains how it works: "this battery is composed of a chemical accumulator placed next to a super capacitor, a newly built capacitor that has the characteristic of being able to accumulate up to 5 thousand Farads, with the advantage of having a number very high possibility of charge and discharge, millions against the few hundreds of common chemical batteries to manage them together and take advantage of both. We have created prototypes of these batteries, some companies are getting interested and trying them out ".
Obviously this battery is not really eternal, but it could become it. To date it lasts for 20 years and as you can imagine its applications are endless. From urban transport to electric cars, passing through smartphones, if the initial cost is higher than the normal ones, it is immediately reabsorbed by the fact that it is not necessary to change it often.
