Seems the lowly weed now has more purposes than getting high on - or being taxed so state coffers can be filled while some get high on it . See Wisc is not talking about legal sale for recreational use along with MN - can't smoke in public, can't drive when using alcohol, but hay smoke weed and tax it makes it good for everyone (NOT) Is there anything hemp can’t do? A year after hemp became legal to grow in the United States, we’ve seen its power to make better clothing, better buildings and better medicine. Now, there’s something else hemp appears to be better at – making batteries. Most auto batteries today are made from lithium-ion, an expensive, quickly disappearing material. A team of American and Canadian researchers have developed a battery that could be used in cars and power tools using hemp baste fiber – the inner bark of the plant that usually ends up in landfill. They “cooked” the woody pulp and processed them into carbon nanosheets, which they used to build supercapacitors “on a par with or better than graphene” – the industry gold standard. Graphene is a synthetic carbon material lighter than foil yet bulletproof, but it is prohibitively expensive to make. “People ask me: why hemp? I say, why not?” inventor David Mitlin tells the BBC. “We’re making graphene-like materials for a thousandth of the price – and we’re doing it with waste.” Mitlin, a professor of chemical engineering at Clarkson University in New York, first published a description of his team’s battery in the journal ACS Nano in 2014. More recently, a YouTuber named Robert Murray Smith, whose channel is all about batteries and put the hemp battery to the test against a lithium-ion battery and found it to be 8 times more powerful! Tesla’s new million-mile battery is made from lithium-iron phosphate, which is supposed to last twice as long as conventional lithium-ion batteries. While more abundant and cheaper than lithium-ion, lithium-iron-phosphate still can’t compete with the apparently far-more-powerful (and renewable) hemp!
