In the late 1800's, refineries producing kerosene burned any "gasoline"
byproducts as dangerous waste - the same stuff we use in pre-Tesla
automobiles today. The reason was that gasoline was "obviously" ar too
dangerous for consumer use. Kerosene, with its much lower volatility and
lower heat per

I had a poor quality Lithium-ion pack explode with the force of dynamite
while recharging. Shrapnel was embedded in the sheet rock 8 feet away.
The shock wave was so intense, it ruptured my left eardrum. I never
considered that they could be dangerous. Now I know by finding out the

I agree with all of that. The ability to store lots of energy in a very
small form factor and deliver it quickly as needed (low internal
resistance) has been and will continue to be an enabler for many of the
electronic marvels we pursue (including portable electronics, electric
cars, and

Yes, saw it too, really good reporting. There was a very good [in the
"real engineering facts" department] article some time ago, prior to the
Samsung debacle. It was aimed primarily at electric vehicle batteries,
and touched a bit on large lithium-chemistry batteries for the home.

Yes, the PBS / NOVA program was indeed informative ... and free of
political BS
