About the Video
What advancements in batteries are being made and how can these improvements impact the consumer market and the environment? Would a renaissance in electric vehicles have an impact on emissions, or would it simply displace the emissions from the back of the vehicles to the power plants in our backyard? And what are the mechanics behind how a battery works?
Don Siegel, an assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan, conducts this BrownBag Learning series where he discusses the challenges in developing consumer products that rely on batteries and the opportunities to improve them.
