Are they 2x energy dense as Li-ION? Capable of high discharge?

There are HUGE implications if that's the case.

As much as I love the super soaker, which I do, battery technology is where it's at and will be your legacy that actually matters in the history books!

An engineer using his own invention to solve a completely unrelated problem! Nice!!!

I have a patent for a search engine/database management system (different type of engineer). I've used the search engine/indexing component as a poor man's method of bootstrapping a durable change log and event redrive/recovery mechanism for a completely different database years later. Long story short, I cited my own patent for something completely different than its original use. It's still in use and is janky as shit!

100%. I learned those symptoms and the spectrum of it. Didn’t even know my friend had it until a stupidly stereotypical situation.

Sometimes it’s like the movies though. I have a friend with Narcolepsy … I had no idea she had narcolepsy until one fateful evening of driving.

We were driving on a highway at night, and a big rig crossed the center divider onto our side of traffic. Big horns and big lights. I managed to get my ass over safely to the shoulder, at which point (after changing my pants so to speak) I learned that my passenger was unconscious.

I learned all about narcolepsy from her after she explained what happened.
