Just found this in my news today and thought someone maybe interested in to read this.
What you think when they will be ready to buy?

As off the shelf product, probably never.

I would love for something like that to gain traction in Australia ... but it would take some rare volume and price outcomes to achieve a viable commercial business (I hesitate to think about an industry.)

I wish them well.

That article describes both the manufacturing process and the product itself as just another me too, without identifying a single thing that would allow them to muscle in against established players who are way down the learning curve. Unless they have something interesting up their sleeves, it sounds like a project designed to failed.

What typically happens with good ideas out of Australia (and we've had some terrific ones) is that they have to move offshore for survival.

Really frustrating.

Do the batteries require special circuitry to reverse the current flow when exported to the northern hemisphere or does the change in the Coriolis effect cause a self correction?

[Brumby]

Nothing so exotic as the Coriolis effect.

When the batteries get tipped over, having crossed the equator, the electrons just fall out the other end.
