That's not even new. Aluminum air batteries have been around for a
century but as they charge and discharge they form crystals in the
electrolyte that short the cell out eventually. The solution is naopore
polymer that allows free ion flow while preventing crystal formation.
One company is already commercializing the solution. See:

Rainer Partanen may get a shock when he discovers the American patent.

Anybody know anything about a Finnish inventor named Rainer Partanen? (
www.europositron.com) He claims to have developed a way to make
Aluminum batteries completely rechargeable. Unfortunately, the
prospective patents are in Finnish.
I'd be interested in what sort of electrochemical process he's using.
If true, this one battery could change human history .
