	for years I've waited for news like this. my pals @MIT think they've cracked the code with anew electrolyte that should last many thousands of charges without the fires experienced in the past in laptops, Tesla, Boeing, etc. they offer a solid state solution http://news.mit.edu/2015/solid-state-rechargeable-batteries-safer-longer-lasting-0817

	Fascinating. I do not know if this is something similar to Hutchison Crystal Battery, a free energy advocate. No one knows __________________ Mordecai: [after knocking Benson out] We only have one chance at not getting fired. Rigby: Okay. I'll go get the shovel.

	The phrase "free energy" obliviates that reference. __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.

	The video shows a lump of several crystals and crystal-like structures 'glued' together. I suspect the 'free energy' is 'I found this geode that has an electric potential between two points,'or to put it plainly, a 'naturally-formed' battery. (Not bothering with the headphones today, it's not interesting/important enough for be to pull them out so no audio.) __________________ ( The opinions espressed in this post may not reflect the true opinions of the poster, and may not reflect commonly accepted versions of reality. ) (If you are wondering: yes, I DO hope to live to be as old as my jokes.)

	I'll make a note of this as the 956th revolutionary battery technology breakthrough we've seen in the last two years. Right after I charge my laptop.
