Big Breakthrough for "Massless" Energy Storage: Structural Battery
A structural battery, on the other hand, is one that works as both a power source and as part of the structure – for example, in a car body. This is termed ''massless'' energy

In the 1950s, flywheel-powered buses, known as gyrobuses, were used in Yverdon (Switzerland) and Ghent (Belgium) and there is ongoing research to make flywheel systems that are smaller, lighter, cheaper and have a greater capacity. It is hoped that flywheel systems can replace conventional chemical batteries for mobile applications, such as for electric vehicles. Proposed flywh
Big Breakthrough for "Massless" Energy Storage:
This is termed ''massless'' energy storage, because in essence the battery''s weight vanishes when it becomes part of the load-bearing structure. Calculations show that this type of multifunctional battery could greatly reduce
