My buddy @peroxycarbonate has an idea for a battery design that should be cheaper and more energy efficient than lithium-ion batteries & could make electric cars competitive. http://www.bhauth.com/files/fbd5da5a/tech%20catalog.html …

In general the standard response to new battery tech is that there's a ton of stuff that works great in the lab but getting to production is 10x harder. See Elon's first quote here for instance:https://electrek.co/2017/08/03/elon-musk-hints-at-new-battery-breakthrough-on-the-horizon/ …

It's an aggressive quote, and I really don't want to poohpooh someone's honest work. So maybe a better way to put it is that they should be aware of these effects, and if so, godspeed.

I don’t know the “base rate” of how many new battery designs get proposed a year — how many are we talking?

I see 5+ international headlines for the next big thing per year, so it's likely thousands. It's a very active field.

It depends on what you mean by a "new battery design". There are new battery papers published every day, but most of those are slight variations on existing designs. The level of novelty here is much greater and fairly rare.

ok, it looks like it's using different *materials* than a Li-Ion battery; how often does someone come up with that? Or, how often does someone propose a design that claims cost savings as good as yours?

(the "pitch" should give context to a complete layman as to how rare/dramatic your achievement is, I'm just trying to "rubber duck" to get you to make those comparisons because you'll get asked these questions.)

Sure, I understand that, but I figured I'd first need the kinds of people you find at JCESR for some sufficiently-institutionally-credentialled technical backing to go to non-technical investors.

I suspect the "elevator pitch" matters for getting technical experts to pay attention too, but I know less about that. Given that you're not famous, this is worth an expert's attention if it either comes recommended by someone they respect *or* is "big news if true".
