Not the ELECTRIC REVOLUTION at least.   Which is happening now.   And only the internet is talking about.  Why is that?

I call to your attention now Exhibit A: the revolutionary Turbo-Battery!

Announced last week in Nature Magazine, MIT Researchers have developed new lithium batteries that take less time to charge than it just took you to read this sentence.  Clocking in at 10 seconds or less, these new turbo-batteries also discharge energy quickly.  Imagine this:  You’re cell-phone dies, or your laptop.  Instead of waiting hours, you can be fully charged in seconds!

And that’s just the start.  The new material and design of these batteries gives them a re-use value exponentially higher than rechargeable batteries on the market today.  They last longer, are lighter, and do the job at 100X normal speed.  And they can be made near cost to common batteries.

It gets better.  Because the inventors imagine creating an electric car battery that could fully charge a car in the time it takes you to pump gas.  Imagine pulling up to electric recharge stations instead of petroleum pumps.  An invention like this could not only revolt-utionize the way we use and consume personal power, it could usher in a new area of electric vehicles!

It makes me wonder how long it took people to take notice of revolutionary inventions back in the day.  Ben Franklin a kite and a key.  Foolishness!  Alexander Graham Bell and his lightbulb. Pahleese!   And don’t get me started on that hack Tesla!

These are the kinds of stories I believe should be all over the global news.  Awareness leading to consumer demand which in turn fuels the gears of industry, thus expediting revolutionary advancements like these.

But if the revolution will not be televised, we’ll just have to keep raising our small voices to spread the word.  So pass it on.

The future is now!
