The Tesla 2170 cell has a big hole down the middle of it... That seems like a missed opportunity for a watercooling pipe, or anything else to use that space effectively.
I somehow suspect water and electricity after a crash don’t mix well…

Even in 2022, hijacking the scroll wheel still isn't cool or 1337.
I disagree in this case. Normally I'd fully agree with you but I think this animation style works really well given their use-case.

You can only have a roll that long before tension from anode expansion will start mechanically damaging it.
Manufacturers intentionally leave some free space to let the roll expand, and shrink
No 4680 cells, its 2170.
Still very cool, and it shows the single tab connection that's the bane of old cylindrical cells that the 4680 solves. I do wish Samsung would already release some of them to the public ffs. Surely they can come up with a price that would beat what Tesla's offering for bulk and sell it on the open market.
The LG lithium ion cell that's second on this page is the one inside the Tesla Model Y battery pack.
Anyone with a napkin can elaborate why this is not feasable?
How doable (guess not) would it be to make a "gravity battery" ? A tiny but heavy balls are thrown from top and while passing thru thin channels they rotate some sort of mini-dynamo that creates electricity. Once all balls are on the bottom, generated electricity is used to rotate the whole thing and start process anew. Anyone with a napkin can elaborate why this is not feasable?
