Possible in every way but one? If Boeing utilizes the Licell pursuant to the "waiver" (the 'restrictions') because their design cannot accomodate NiMH, then they cannot even propose it.
They then sink or swim with LiPolymer. To do that, they must redesign the entire technology. They then have to show, against existing prejudice and accident history, that LiPolymer is safe, to a degree established by the authority that put them on the ground.
Why are the cells wrapped rectangularly? From a geometric standpoint, why not cylindrical? Flattening a two phase material roll creates build at the edges, and ooze at the ends. Why conductors at the top, not the side? Why stacked chock a block in a cube, instead of nested in a "honeycomb, horizontally? Why then a conductor for a case, and not a cast ceramic vault?
A thin layer of plastic to isolate the looms from solid metal conductors, so the insulation fails, and the sensing and control looms all short together?
A lash up, suitable for Mickey Rooney's soap box racer?
