Air-Aluminum energy source for autos and vehicles

 

Looks like it is. The Aluminum | Air battery appears to be feasible. Actually, it is a fuel cell rather than a traditional battery. Well, it is not rechargeable but do not worry. Just pull out the Aluminum electrode and replace it with a fresh electrode. This is just the kind of device needed for a country like India which does not have significant lithum resources. The nice thing is, these batteries can be produced 100% indigenously in India.

Mahindra is also intested. May be the auto-rickshaws will run on these. I pray this happens, the low grade gas these run are responsible for most respiratory ailments.
