Just looking through some old links and came across this oddity. Has anyone else seen this?

"The flow cell is what makes the gull-winged Quant so special and so weird. It's an electric vehicle, but it doesn't use batteries. Instead, the four-seat coupe has a completely different way to store energy. There are tanks of negatively and positively charged electrolyte solutions in the vehicle. The liquids get pumped through a cell stack to produce electricity, which in turn powers the car's four electric motors."

I call Total BS™ :D

If the technology existed to simply turn salt-water into energy, then we would not be seeing attempts to put it in cars! Instead we would be seeing the replacement of coal/nuclear power plants with nice clean salt-water ones!

First you make it work, then you make it small.
