This technology seems to have got a lot of coverage. They are calling the black goop "Cambridge Crude".
In one of the sources it said you can recharge it at home (implied using an inboard charger).
...
A station that lets you exchange your electrolyte has got to be a couple orders of magnitude more complicated than a fast charger.
If we eventually had those in addition to fast chargers that would be a fine incremental improvement, but I think we will find them completely unnecessary if we can get a network of fast chargers installed.
Hello Fellow Innovators.
We have driven semi cross country for over 2 million miles. Have read about all kinds of ways to generate electricity from every day motions and actions, such as from a revolving door in a busy city department store; from the constant push and pull of walking people over city sidewalks.
With as many revolutions that our semi truck generates with its 5 axles and 18 wheels, it is in the realm of possibility that a semi can be generating a lot of the energy it uses if these revolvings could be redirected to work within some kind of electric motor format and high efficiency batteries.
I am getting into tech territory here, so help me out. I know that others have been able to convert movement into usable and storeable energy and we are sitting on a potential that is just begging to be used. Solar panels on top of a semi trailer could be another concurrent system to generate electricity. Semi's use electricity for small fridges, computers, cb, music and lighting.
Another idea I have is to generate power to somehow make ice. With enough ice created, and with enough insulation, one could use a low voltage fan blowing across the ice at night (yes of course only in the summer) and have this cold air cool the semi sleeper at night, rather than burning diesel for 10 hours.
Mother Earth News 20 years ago had articles on creating a huge block of ice to be stored in the basement and used in the summer. I can't remember the process, it could have been just letting winter do it's job, but nevertheless, the idea has stayed with me.
Being this is a site interested in green power, have I piqued anyone's interest?
Thanks

No interest from me. Using your wheels to generate electricity increases the load on the truck's engine, by pretty much the same amount as running the generator off it. It is not free power. You will pay more for fuel.
