Would be good to know if the current flow is comparable (peak and continuous); and usable capacity vs. real capacity.
Final concern would be battery life vs cells, (I know that they typical cells need to be closely matched for voltage and use a BMS to balance the current to keep the voltages aligned. Wonder if the blades need the same BMS (maybe that can offset some of the weight disadvantage).
For BEV (cars), maybe the blade would require less cooling, so that could save system weight / volume / cost.
Side topic - I wonder if using a super capacitor would provide peak current for accel to alleviate battery heat, then get recharged during regen, or cruise??
Great video - who needs live teachers anymore...
