The Killing of George Floyd: The Last Straw?
If this statistic is related to white racism somehow, then it is curious to discover that white racist police officers hate other whites much more than Asians/Pacific Islanders as they kill their own whites much more often in relative proportions. Average income in USA by ethnicity. The wealthiest are East Indians at $132,746 by household. Followed by all other Asians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income Very strange "systematic racism" indeed.

The Killing of George Floyd: The Last Straw?
This is bad, of course. But there is some difference between a racial genocide as covert/open government program and an individual psycho. Are an individual white racists more common than colored racists? Including police officers? If yes, why? I thought that all races are equal and therefore racism (and racism motivated crime) should be equally common among them all. And what about crime rate?

The Killing of George Floyd: The Last Straw?
You may help me. Provide some proved data or a stories from you personal experience. Imagine the following situation: ether white or colored policemen killed a white person in US for no reason. A huge crowd of whites under slogans "White lives matter" devastate stores (including those belonging to colored people). Should it be welcomed?

The Killing of George Floyd: The Last Straw?
In my understanding severe racial harassment is not a widespread issue in US and there were only 174 blacks in total killed by police in 2015. Per 310.000.000 of population! This number includes those who were killed for a reason (correct me if I'm wrong). And regularly every few years there is someone with a videotape to picture brutal killing of an innocent black in all the details. Purely accidentally of course. A good reason for large scale violence. And of course police don't use armed force to stop violence immediately, like they just waited for something like this to happen. There is something suspicious in all it.

Police suppose to fight crime without fear to be accused in racial profiling for no reason. First they will start fear to shoot in an armed criminals, then they will start to fear even arrest or detain them. And later they will start afraid even come close to them. It could make wrong impression in some group of population that they are "untouchables" and breed even much more violence.

The Killing of George Floyd: The Last Straw?
Interesting, are there any racial riots in countries like Brazil? If not, why? Is situation with inter-racial relations less tense there? I have such impression (possibly erroneous) that racial riots in US and Europe could be intentionally provoked and encouraged to divide society along racial lines. For example just recently riots transferred to London, UK and what is most interesting - police doesn't stop the violence. They never do in such cases. Meanwhile it warms up sympathies to ultra-right parties in Europe. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-52907101

The Killing of George Floyd: The Last Straw?
Are there any obvious and absolutely undoubtful proves he was killed for been a black primarily? I would agree there are such proves if his killer is a member of a racist organization which proclaimed killing blacks as a part of their program.

The Killing of George Floyd: The Last Straw?
I think in a developed and morally advanced society there should be no doubts large scale protests (desirably peaceful) against unnecessary police brutality. But sadly involving racial accent into the protests only divides society even deeper. Because protesters demand justice only for a part of population rather than for everyone. What are they going to loose if they will protest against brutality in general without race accents? People suppose to unite on issue overcoming racial barriers. Also it would be interesting to know: is there some evident proves that the race was the main reason of an excessive force use? What if something like this would happen to an Asian or a Caucasian?

Are glass batteries a hoax?
It seems now more details are reviled on how Lithium may switch between different Fermi levels. The whole thing looks to work like an EDSL supercapacitor and exploits some quantum effects: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s41313-018-0014-8 Could someone make comments about this tunneling? Not clearly understood how Lithium can equalize its electrochemical potential with either Carbon or Sulfur without making any chemical bonds with them. Is it possible?

Are glass batteries a hoax?
It seems detailed patents of Goodenough on glass battery has been published. However he provides little explanations what is "low and high Fermi energies" of alkali metals are. Any suggestions? https://patents.justia.com/inventor/john-b-goodenough METAL PLATING-BASED ELECTRICAL ENERGY STORAGE CELL Oct 27, 2017 The present disclosure provides an electrochemical storage cell including a battery. The battery includes an alkali metal anode having an anode Fermi energy, an electronically insulating, amorphous, dried solid electrolyte able to conduct alkali metal, having the general formula A3-xHxOX, in which 0≦x≦1, A is the alkali metal, and X is at least one halide, and a cathode including a cathode current collector having a cathode Fermi energy lower than the anode Fermi energy. During operation of the electrochemical storage cell, the alkali metal plates dendrite-free from the solid electrolyte onto the alkali metal anode. Also during operation of the electrochemical storage cell, the alkali metal further plates on the cathode current collector.

If I can imagine it, it is possible!
Without a citation, I would say that many novels are based around time travel. Do you believe it can become a reality?

Electric helicopter
I think improved MHD generators could be more helpful here as they could be made flexy fuel and offer much higher power density than fuel cells. A much more appropriate thing for a helicopter.

Are glass batteries a hoax?
It seems like the whole idea is based around the claim that regular Lithium on anode converts to some mysterious low Fermi energy form on the cathode. http://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2016/EE/C6EE02888H#!divAbstract But it is not clear if Lithium is transferred at all and what is this low Fermi energy form of Lithium. How Fermi energy of Lithium can change?

That's interesting, but in 2002 someone already attempted to patent a "glass battery", but it was more likely a hoax. Though description of their "glass battery" more resembled a capacitor. https://www.cio.co.nz/article/471755/glass_battery_all_gain_no_pane/

What if you use two flywheels which rotate in opposite directions on car?
-
Are glass batteries a hoax?
The problem with flywheel, however, it that if it's made of non magnetic material (similar to a diamond fiber) I wonder how they are going to use magnetic bearing with that.
-
Are glass batteries a hoax?
Honestly, I have no trustworthy calculations for flywheels made of "supermaterials". For example, this one article mentions 1100 Wh/kg for a hypothetical carbon nanotube flywheel. http://www.nanowerk.com/spotlight/spotid=22055.php Yes, I meant that in both flywheels and capacitors atomic bond strength is a limiting factor. In capacitor you may play with some quantum effects furthermore, I assume. What do you mean under "bond stretching"?

Aluminum is produced with help of electrolysis from aluminum oxides. You can use cheap electricity from remote sources, or electricity from nuclear or hydroelectric plants produced at night. This is how most of Aluminum is produced presently. You can just fill a fuel cell with Aluminum powder or wire at the fueling station. It will take couple of minutes. It's predicted that a flywheel made of diamond wire would have 15 MJ/Kg energy density. Similar or even higher estimates are made for carbon nanotube wire, boron fiber or nitrogen fiber. Compare it to 3.5 MJ/kg for a hypothetical, yet to be created Li-air rechargeable battery, which suppose to have the largest energy density of all batteries. I have suspicion that both flywheels and capacitors belong to a similar class of an energy storage devices which store their energy in atomic bonds deformations. Therefore it may give a clue about capacitors future limits.

Fortunately, electrically rechargeable batteries is not the only technology which could make EVs to dominate. I even wouldn't expect it will be the batteries. With their dirty chemical reactions they don't look like a futuristic energy storage. I propose you to regard supercapacitors, metal-air fuel cells and long-distance wireless energy transfer. Also, EVs is not the only type of a vehicle worth of the inventive efforts. In this century hybrid vehicles may become dominant. If plug-in hybrid will allow to save 80-90% of organic fuel annually, we may say that problem of EV is almost solved and celebrate.

I'm too modest to claim an expertise at something. I'm an amateur inventor and my interests presently are at the fields of energy storage and conversion devices.
