Is there anything hemp can’t do? A year after hemp became legal to grow in the United States,
we’ve seen its power to make better clothing, better buildings and better medicine.
Now, there’s something else hemp appears to be better at. ✴making batteries✴
Most auto batteries today are made from lithium-ion, an expensive, quickly disappearing material.
A team of American and Canadian researchers have developed a battery that could be used in cars and power tool
using hemp bast fiber – the inner bark of the plant that usually ends up in landfill.
They “cooked” the woody pulp and processed them into carbon nanosheets, which they used to build supercapacitors “on a par with or better than graphene” – the industry gold standard.
Graphene is a synthetic carbon material lighter than foil yet bulletproof, but it is prohibitively expensive to make.
“People ask me: why hemp? I say, why not?” inventor David Mitlin tells the BBC.
“We’re making graphene-like materials for a thousandth of the price – and we’re doing it with waste.”
Mitlin, a chemical engineer, first published a description of his team’s battery in the journal ACS Nano in 2014.
More recently, a YouTuber put the hemp battery to the test against a lithium-ion battery and found it to be 8 times more powerful!
Tesla’s new million-mile battery is made from lithium-iron phosphate, which is supposed to last twice as long as conventional lithium-ion batteries.
While more abundant and cheaper than lithium-ion, lithium-iron-phosphate still can’t compete with the apparently far-more-powerful (and renewable) hemp!

I was a big Rossi fan but no more, his E-CAT is a con.
But there are other people who are not grifters as Rossi is, they are trying to build and open source a LENR engine that anyone with some good engineering tools and experience can build for themselves.

I really don't know about Rossi. I've been watching this LENR stuff since 1989, and with the Rossi's news, it started to look like finally some fruition was going to occur. After 12-14 years of waiting on Rossi to put out a product, and now with open source attempts to building LENR, I don't have high hopes for production success. It's just another Stan Myers deal.
The link you gave me requires a subscription. I'm not coy on joining something I have no information on. Is there success there? Why is this guy any different than other LENR open sources? I already belong to the Rife society, Energy Times, and other email lists. If there was a working model without any bugs, I'd get one providing if it was affordable and would provide a investment but back.

Bob Greener is very good indeed, his followers and participants are world class scientists. The machine I mentioned isn't a thing yet, they have much bigger fish to fry, much bigger.
He is also on You Tube "Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project" and his site is: http://www.quantumheat.org/index.php/en/
