Let's talk about science: scientists used a special electrolyte to create self-loading batteries

In the section “Let's talk about science”, “Military Review” suggests discussing the topic of modern energy sources. In this case, we will talk about the so-called self-charging batteries, which, as they like to say in the media, are based on “new physical principles” in their work. True, at the same time, the term “new physical principles” itself sounds strange, because physics (nature) exists regardless of what principles a person is currently guided by.

It will be a joint development of Portuguese and American scientists. To create a self-loading battery, they used a special material called amorphous metal or metal glass. Such substances lack the so-called long-range (deep) order. Moreover, the substance used by scientists has ferroelectric properties. This means that in a certain temperature range in the substance and in the absence of an external electric field, spontaneous polarization occurs. When leaving the temperature range, spontaneous polarization disappears due to a change in the internal structure of the substance.

Such a substance with a whole set of “original” physical properties is used as the electrolyte of the battery. The output power of such a battery is significantly higher than previously created analogues due to the fact that both negative capacitance and negative resistance are combined in one cell. This combination allows self-charging without loss of energy. The term “no energy loss” is used by the developers themselves.

What specific materials are used as electrolyte? These are ferroelectric lithium and sodium glasses located between the electrodes.

From a report by a scientist at a porto portuguese university:

When one of the materials is an insulator for certain parameters, for others it is a conductor, an electrolyte, it locally changes its composition with the formation of capacitors that can store energy and equalize Fermi levels (the smallest energy for particles to enter the conduction band) inside the device.

Scientists note that such self-charging batteries will become very popular in the creation of mobile devices and computers, generators with controlled voltage indicators.

The military drew attention to the development, which consider it, including for use as long-term batteries in the equipment of a new generation.

It would be correct to call this battery "battery with adaptable capacity", because in this case, the expression "self-charging battery" is most reminiscent of the delirium of a gray mare after a painful attempt to suck sensation from his left hind hoof.

By the way, the photo in this article has nothing to do with the topic at all.
It depicts the so-called "smart battery" Eli-Home, developed in Chile more than 4 years ago:

Smart Battery Powers
In Chile, they are developing a battery called Eli-Home, capable of creating their own energy network, charging energy from the Sun.
In Chile, a new battery can allow residences to forget about the power grid and can store their energy in excess.
Life without an energy grid could soon become a reality if a young Chilean inventor fulfills his dream.
Manuel Mata is president of Eli-Batt, the creators of an intelligent lithium battery called Eli-Home.
Eli-Home was developed at the University of Chile in the hope that the stack will revolutionize the consumption of clean energy, allowing homes to create their own energy grid.
What separates this battery from others is its ability to self-charge, which allows it to create its own network, accumulating energy from the sun and possibly selling excess.
The battery supports any network in the residence and, in addition, can be charged so that you will never be without power.
After installation, the operation is facilitated.
If a power failure occurs, the battery controls a sensor that sends electricity to all electrical objects in the residence.
The battery can be controlled using a smart mobile phone, as well as carry.
(translation from Spanish)

This Chilean battery is self-charging, but it receives energy simply from the Sun. There are no "new physical principles" at all.

Don't worry. The article is absolutely illiterate, the one who wrote it does not understand anything about the subject. I wrote a comment detailing the absurdities - it was removed. Presumably, for the fact that a specialized specialist undertook to criticize the respected "journalist". I explain the REAL essence of what is at stake. The device contains a ferroelectric - as, for example, in a piezo lighter. If you press - we get an electrical impulse. You can, for example, use the energy from pressing the keys of the calculator to recharge the battery. That's all the salt. And no "self-loading".

[Svarog51]

How does this contradict what I have written? Insert the battery - this is "apply potential". This is the reverse process, of obtaining potential mechanically. I just wanted to say this.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

And how does this contradict what I wrote? .... about "wrote" -that would once again hesitate over this word is better "typed". So it will be more correct, now on the topic --- in this article we are talking about self-charging an accumulator with a certain substance. BUT for some reason they do not indicate efficiency. and efficiency is the measure of useful energy, it cannot be more than you spend. that's the whole point, there are assumptions in quantum physics that there are virtual particles from a certain vacuum fluctuation according to the law of quantum uncertainty, the key word is "uncertainty", that is, the dogmas of quantum physics themselves have no idea what they are dealing with, so while "uncertainty" will become certainty in this science, then only then it will be possible to talk about something, at the moment, to understand the engines of the world, the teachings of Newton and Einstein rule (well, and many others who are no less advanced in this direction) ... who does not get it, blacks for world peace, more precisely for waging wars around the world with unpunished murder of civilians, for cold nuclear fusion of the nucleus (more delirium can hardly be imagined) and so on ... in short, than a crazy idea ... the more likely to win a Nobel

[Svarog51]

about "wrote" -that would once again hesitate over this word better "typed". So it will be more correct,

First, master the Russian language (the verb with the particle "not" is written separately) and learn how to use graphic signs in the answers. There are "quotes" for quotes.
With quantum physics - this is to Gridasov. The article mentions a certain catalyst for the electrochemical process. There is no talk of a self-replenishing battery. All batteries react to the temperature regime, and lithium batteries generally "do not like" low temperatures. From article

This means that in a certain temperature range in the substance and in the absence of an external electric field, spontaneous polarization occurs

It only retains its charge well in "comfortable" conditions and, apparently, has an increased capacity.

[novobranets]

What I missed in this life . I was always sure that the ideal conductor, this conductor whose resistance is approaching zero, but it turns out there is still a negative resistance.

I already realized that you are not a reader. And in three years I could learn to quote on the site - apparently you’re using a papkin account ...

About negativity ...
There is zero resistance, when damping occurs at a zero signal level, the output current can be, say, one unit.
And there is a negative resistance, when the electronics gives out antiphase voltage, i.e. against the movement of the mechanical resonance of the speaker. At the same time, the currents can be many times higher, since the negativity of the amplifier compensates for the speaker resistance.
It’s like a rotating electric motor, for a quick stop, give reverse rotation voltage. The currents will be huge.

Khe, khe ... mean so.
There is a dielectric with randomly located dipoles (molecule, one end +, the other -). There is a dielectric, consisting of sections of domains. This is such a sample of matter in which the domains are located so that in each of them the dipoles are oriented exactly the same, but the orientation of the dipoles in the neighboring domains does not coincide. In one domain - like that, and in the other - like that, in the third one somehow, etc. That’s why the sample is a dielectric, the current through such a sample will not go. And there is a similar liquid sample. Its peculiarity as a liquid is that, like solid, it consists of domains randomly oriented with respect to neighbors. At a certain temperature, dipoles in all domains under the influence of an external field are oriented identically, the insulator becomes a conductor. At a different temperature, the dipoles in each domain are still oriented in the same way, but no longer pay attention to the orientation of the neighbors. Now the domains are some in the forest, some for firewood.
But how does the battery charge? Just as an electron, having jumped into a lower orbit, emits a quantum of energy?

The catch is that after "emitting a quantum of energy" (otherwise there can be no talk of any "battery charge") the system will not be able to return to its original state.
Those. the system "degrades" into a substance with different properties and no "self-charging".

[Klingon]

no, energy cannot be taken from nowhere, although energy is even in a vacuum, but if it is taken from somewhere, then in any case its transformation takes place somewhere, which means that entropy will increase in any case. The perpetual motion machine, however, contradicts the second law of thermodynamics. In the case of the perpetual motion machine, the entropy should be minus and not local, but the entropy of the entire universe should suddenly decrease, which means the reversibility of irreversible processes (such as self-bonding of a broken glass), which means that time in this case should go in the opposite direction. So far, no such processes have been observed.

[Chigi]

Well, what are you so harsh on by that "scientists".
They did not study at institutes, and therefore they believe that
If "the life cycle of the Sun has always been in the sky and will always be forever", then all devices that receive energy from the sun will also be "eternal energy producers."
They have a different concept of a "perpetual motion machine".

That's what the article says

Moreover, the substance used by scientists has ferroelectric properties. This means that in a certain temperature range in the substance and in the absence of an external electric field, spontaneous polarization occurs. When leaving the temperature range, spontaneous polarization disappears due to a change in the internal structure of the substance.

Piezoelectricity is scanty both in terms of current and voltage. You need to have a head at least with a five-grade education in it in order to understand- WHERE to take a decent current, in some amperes, since the source is, roughly speaking, glass, with infinite internal resistance? Don't you know Ohm's Law, which says that when connected in series, currents are equal everywhere? And the amount of current here will be regulated by the internal resistance of the piezoelectric source? You will put pressure on this element until your own retirement in order to earn a certain amount of watt-hours. The self-discharge of any battery exceeds the "charging" current by several orders of magnitude.

It's not about translation. The fact is that there is a contradiction at the base. The dielectric charges (?) The battery. A dielectric, by definition, has an infinitely large internal resistance and is not capable of generating the current necessary to charge the battery. These devices are accumulators, charged NOT BY VOLTAGE, AND BY CURRENT. And where does the current of required magnitude come from, since the source is a dielectric? The series connection of several elements gives a common EQUAL current throughout the circuit. And the current will be regulated by the internal resistance of the dielectric.

The main thing in becoming about science is that no one understands anything. If one position is contrary to another, it does not matter.
When one of the materials is an insulator for certain parameters, for others it is a conductor, an electrolyte, it locally changes its composition with the formation of capacitors that can store energy and equalize Fermi levels (the smallest energy for particles to enter the conduction band) inside the device.
