787 innovated applying new concepts

syseng68k:

Let's get started: Electrics, hydraulics or pneumatics, are
all means to transfer energy from one place to another. Electrics
are far more efficient and have less weight than either of the other
two.
Letīs look to an example:

Taxiing using electric motors instead of noisy turbines.



Will need to go to a subroutine in next days in order to think about this comparison: Electrics, hydraulics or pneumatics.

But it seems electric "will be the future". (some exceptions, obviously)

And after this and painful teething of 787 i FIRED a big Li Ion pack (18650) in my electric bike and yet installed a micro APU

My only problem is: 787 battery issue ended my love with this wonderful battery. She created a trauma for me. Now i am reviewing to the least possible use of batteries in my projects. Maximum cell size? 18650. thermal runaway? Make it impossible: SEPARATED cells. Worst case scenario? (a virtually impossible one): Inerting gas and a manifold to exterior from each cell. Charger? PARALLEL!!! etc. etc. etc.
