[1789.50 --> 1790.90] So if we had, you know,
[1790.98 --> 1794.34] I usually assume when some research comes out
[1794.34 --> 1796.50] and they talk about what percentage they can charge
[1796.50 --> 1799.14] in X number of minutes for like a phone,
[1799.30 --> 1800.90] I usually assume they're talking about an iPhone,
[1801.08 --> 1804.84] so we can say somewhere in the 1800 to 2100 milliamp hour range.
[1805.24 --> 1806.68] So if you had a tablet,
[1807.18 --> 1809.26] let's say a 6,000 milliamp hour battery
[1809.26 --> 1810.42] or 5,000,
[1810.46 --> 1811.80] oh no, they don't go up to that high, do they?
[1811.90 --> 1812.28] What are they?
[1812.32 --> 1814.16] Usually like 4,000 to 6,000,
[1814.28 --> 1814.96] somewhere in that range?
[1814.96 --> 1815.96] I think 3 to 5.
[1816.14 --> 1816.60] 3 to 5?
[1816.60 --> 1817.22] Is what I've seen, yeah.
[1817.26 --> 1817.78] Okay, well, whatever.
[1817.90 --> 1820.52] So the point is we could maybe charge that to 70%
[1820.52 --> 1824.32] in 10 minutes or 5 minutes or 6 minutes
[1824.32 --> 1825.32] or whatever the case may be.
[1825.48 --> 1827.12] So pretty darn exciting.
[1827.24 --> 1829.82] So they're using titanium dioxide nanotubes
[1829.82 --> 1831.88] for the anode rather than graphite,
[1832.02 --> 1834.20] which speeds up the battery's chemical reactions,
[1834.34 --> 1836.10] offering 10,000 charging cycles
[1836.10 --> 1837.32] rather than the usual 500.
[1837.82 --> 1839.00] So would that be something
[1839.00 --> 1840.06] that's more important to you
[1840.06 --> 1841.06] than the fast charging?
[1841.24 --> 1842.44] The fact that now you can get
[1842.44 --> 1844.14] 20 times longer life out of it,
[1844.14 --> 1845.80] especially now that so many devices
[1845.80 --> 1848.16] don't have removable batteries?
[1848.96 --> 1851.68] When I first was looking at this story earlier,
[1851.92 --> 1853.90] I was very excited initially
[1853.90 --> 1855.04] because I'm always happy
[1855.04 --> 1857.12] when I see battery technology improvements
[1857.12 --> 1858.36] because I think that's just something
[1858.36 --> 1860.00] that's lagged behind so badly.
[1860.68 --> 1863.02] But my secondary reaction was,
[1863.50 --> 1865.16] I hope it doesn't have
[1865.16 --> 1867.14] like some sort of negative impact.
[1867.30 --> 1868.36] You know, I hope each one of these
[1868.36 --> 1869.72] that they create doesn't, you know,
[1869.90 --> 1872.08] kill 10 baby seals or something like that.
[1872.08 --> 1877.76] So yeah, that's a pretty big factor for me
[1877.76 --> 1880.70] at this point when it goes into,
[1881.02 --> 1882.12] especially for technology,
[1882.36 --> 1884.02] is going to be the environmental impact
[1884.02 --> 1885.76] it might have as well.
[1886.12 --> 1887.46] So think of the children factor?
[1888.12 --> 1889.18] Think of the children, yes.
[1889.24 --> 1889.80] Think of the seals.
[1889.90 --> 1890.66] Our future.
[1890.90 --> 1891.54] But yeah, I mean,
[1891.64 --> 1893.24] if you have something
[1893.24 --> 1895.76] and it's going to last 10,000 charging cycles
[1895.76 --> 1896.38] rather than 500,
[1896.52 --> 1897.60] it should last a lot longer.
[1897.60 --> 1900.14] Hopefully, maybe the device could last longer.
[1901.60 --> 1903.82] I mean, another discussion is
[1903.82 --> 1906.52] if we're reaching a point of capability
[1906.52 --> 1907.78] with the technology and the speed
[1907.78 --> 1909.66] where devices might start lasting longer
[1909.66 --> 1912.20] rather than being replaced in one or two years.
[1913.20 --> 1913.50] So yeah.
[1913.74 --> 1915.20] Timing for this could be perfect then.
[1915.58 --> 1915.80] Yeah.
[1915.80 --> 1918.66] So you get a device that, you know,
[1918.72 --> 1921.38] isn't really getting that much faster
[1921.38 --> 1922.16] every generation,
[1922.16 --> 1923.18] so you don't really feel the need
[1923.18 --> 1924.08] to replace it so often.
[1924.32 --> 1925.16] I mean, something like this
[1925.16 --> 1927.44] could be great for your project Aura phone.
[1927.62 --> 1928.48] So you could, you know,
[1928.52 --> 1930.98] buy yourself a quick charge module
[1930.98 --> 1932.80] versus the standard battery module
[1932.80 --> 1934.62] and make that thing last freaking forever.
[1934.62 --> 1937.30] I mean, once you have a portable device
[1937.30 --> 1938.38] that can do, you know,
[1938.62 --> 1941.60] say 4K resolution on a handheld display
[1941.60 --> 1943.82] and have 48 hours of battery life
[1943.82 --> 1946.36] and, you know, apart from gameplay,
[1946.68 --> 1948.20] what really stressful thing
[1948.20 --> 1949.02] do you do with the phone?
[1949.18 --> 1951.74] So as long as it's not physically wearing out
[1951.74 --> 1953.30] or bending,
[1953.50 --> 1955.20] then it should be able to last
[1955.20 --> 1956.34] a reasonable amount of time.
[1957.06 --> 1960.38] Question for you is,
[1960.60 --> 1963.52] do we really even need 4K on a mobile display?
[1963.52 --> 1966.00] I mean, have you used the LG G3?
[1967.10 --> 1968.14] No, I haven't.
[1968.48 --> 1970.32] I don't really think so.
[1970.48 --> 1971.42] I think it's overkill.
[1971.66 --> 1973.50] I think the retina displays
[1973.50 --> 1974.30] and the small devices
[1974.30 --> 1977.74] are pretty absurd a lot of the time.
[1977.94 --> 1978.52] I mean...
