won't be a while until it comes to RC, the Si nanowires probably can't handle the high currents.. but I don't really know...

I agree that this will be quite a while before it hits mainstream as a consumer product. There is hope though...

"Given the mature infrastructure behind silicon, this new technology can be pushed to real life quickly," Cui said.

However, the possibilities are exciting which is why I posted. Remember this is not Tekin, Castle, Novak etc.. backing this project. It is the likes of ExxonMobil, GE, Schlumberger and Toyota with the intent of developing high energy-density batteries for electric vehicles (1:1 scale not 1:8 ) so it should be able to handle high currents.

Stanford, California—March 23, 2007—Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) Director Franklin M. Orr Jr. has announced a record $15 million in awards for eight research programs and five one-year exploratory research efforts to be conducted at Stanford and a number of other institutions...."

Three new research efforts are focused on high energy-density batteries for electric vehicles in the area of advanced transportation and include activities of Yi Cui and Friedrich Prinz of Stanford....

GCEP is a collaborative effort of scientific and engineering communities in academia and industry. Its purpose is to conduct fundamental, pre-commercial research that will foster the development of global energy solutions that significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The GCEP sponsors-ExxonMobil, GE, Schlumberger and Toyota-intend to invest $225 million over a decade or more in the project....

now how much would a 120000 mah lipo weigh?
well considering the maxamps 2s 12000mah is 545 grams, this would be 5450 grams, which is 12.1 pounds. um. say hello to the 45lb e-maxx with 24hr runtime.

and only cost $2300 for a 2s battery.

Sounds like a Toyota Preis... LOL

Lets hope that it is not 1:1 on power to weight ratio increase.
