Fluid mechanics and hydraulics: SOLVED PROBLEMS

This document describes a new type of battery that is safer and longer-lasting than current lithium-ion batteries. It works by using lithium metal instead of graphite as the anode, which increases energy density. However, lithium metal poses safety and lifespan issues. The new battery addresses this by using a solid electrolyte and lithium metal composite that prevents dendrite formation and short circuits. This novel design could enable electric vehicles to drive 500 miles on a single charge.
