Quote: "Rather than working with conventional lithium-ion batteries, Fisker is turning to graphene supercapacitors.
Graphene is the thinnest material on Earth and strongest material known to man.
But Fisker told Business Insider that his battery division, Fisker Nanotaech, is patening a machine that he claims can produce as much as 1,000 kilograms of graphene at a cost of just 10 cents a gram.
Jack Kavanaugh, the head of Fisker Nanotech, also told Business Insider the machine could feasibly produce 1,000 kilograms."
Now, it's not clear what happens after the machine produces the 1,000 kilos of graphene; presumably it self-combusts just like one of many Fisker cars. Must be a design peculiarity of his.
Apart from that, imagine the implications for the racquet industry. A 300-gram racquet made of pure Graphene could be produced for the paltry cost of 30 dollars!! Add 3,000-odd dollars for the arm surgery and you've got yourself a veritable bargain!
