No actual mention of how anything works and the video doesn't explain
anything. Are you just passing a current through algae in the video? One
can pass a current through tap water.....
No offense, but it seems like the TechCrunch article is a paid
advertisement.... It doesn't say anything.
Is the goal to using algae as electrodes maybe, like previous work of
others?
Do you think using anything living, like algae could even be used in a Car
battery? how would it survive heat?, cold? Anything that isn't a normal
environment?
Don't algae need light to grow?? How would this work in a battery?

Hi All,
We're super excited for the first bit of coverage on techcrunch of what we
hope will be transformative tech for batteries.

Adam's company, Algas Biotech is developing early stage technology to
replace the use of rare metals in batteries (i.e. much more eco friendly
and it would remove CO2 from the atmosphere as part of the production of
Algae). The technology is still early (with all the expected caveats that
early stage science has) but Adam's going to have more news to share in the
near future!
All the best,
Ryan
