Reminds me of when I was at Electric car races at Phoenix Internation Raceway
a few years ago.
The Solectria car blew one of its hoses on its bromine battery. Shut the race
down, driver was hospitalized for several days, track evacuated as a LARGE
bromine
cloud started floating around. Since they were leading, they
won the race. Kind of funny, save the environment but possibly kill
everyone on
a city block!
I used to work at DEMI as a chemist doing ZEV battery development
(zinc air technology). DEMI is no longer around, don't know if anyone
picked up
the technology.
