Why We Still Don't Have Electric Planes
"because they're heavy" i just saved you 9 minutes.
Bamwich saved my time thank you

Thank you, i already knew this just wondered if they had other points, but i guess thats literally the only limiting factor.
Yuri G it’s kinda the only thing that matters when it comes to planes.

Title: "Why we still don't have electric planes"
First 15 seconds of the video: "electric planes have been around since the 1970s"
They probably mean viably commercial electric planes.
Bart Bell • Yeah, but it’s still kind of ironic.

@@Radioactive_Bunny. how is this a woooosh moment

Are we gonna look over the fact that inventor of lithium ion battery is named John B.Goodenough.
that's prolly why they do explode sometimes lmao jkjk
Hahaha I was looking for that comment. What a name!
It's a *RARE* day that I actually learn something from UA-cam. Thank you, George!
It was actually invented by Akira Yoshino in 1985, John B. Goodenough and Stanley Wittingham only contributed by research from the 70s, which then, wasn't enough to make a Lithium-ion battery prototype from and required more research. Hence why they never made one.
@@user-pn3im5sm7k sad that all inventions have to have someone not getting the credit they deserve.
Let me save you some time, battery energy density isn’t there yet. Too heavy for how much energy you get out of the batteries.
also, it will never reach speed like jet engine can make as well. it will take longer than usually. air travel time will be longer.
Brandon Deemter thank you
@@jaimehernandez4962 Never? Do you have any idea how fast the tech of batteries, engines etc are developing?
@@jaimehernandez4962 it will, that's just the nature of technology

Elon musk after watching this video
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
aiwa500 please Elon were counting on you !
He said in a interview that we currently don't need electric planes what we need is electric cars
Yep my thoughts exactly.
he also said in an interview that tesla electric plane is feasible, but it requires a change in battery density, tesla is already working on "million mile battery" in Fremont factory, I expect tesla plane in 10 years max
@@mockingspongebob773 more funding for tesla!
4:46 why is it so wrong looking at the truck........
Lol WTF i just realized how freaky that truck is
Its cursed
The truck is designed to move planes. It grabs their front wheel.
@@corrected1991y cut the back lol
It's more maneuverable
The problem with batteries has to do with the density of energy that can be stored.
Even the most modern batteries are heavy but carry little energy relative to gasoline or jet fuel tanks.
Yep, battery energy density is poor compared to jet fuel. Also the efficiency of airplanes is already fairly high, so there is not a lot of gains to be made
They have the technology it’s just that they need people poor😂
I think we should switch over to fossil fuels, would save a heck ton of money.
I agree with u BUT, everything that those plans need to be completed do exist in 2022, THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT:
EVERY other airline, investors, companies, politicians, and all the others, Philthy Rich people in the world won't allow it to happen or come to life. Bcuz all of them will be losing money big time, so they will fight down the battery idea, make sure every news station an reporter continuously talk about it and convince the public that it's a threat to human life.
NIKOLA TESLA TOWER for example:
It was created an proven fully functional, he just needed the funding witch he didn't receive BCUZ the tower was capable of sending direct current to your home with a special isolated antenna. And it would of been free to the world. A week after he demonstration to the government he died, the government went straight to his home and took every single piece of information even his pocketbook and pocket watch that his wife had for him.
UP TO THIS DAY the tower was never found or talked about. We have the technology, understanding and components to create futuristic Technologies BŰT, the money hunger people of every country won't allow us to fully evaluate bcuz most of the minerals and other materials won't be needed anymore and that's bad for their business.
Not only that, but one of the most important aspects of commercial aircraft is that they burn off significant amounts of their weight as they fly, as the fuel being used up means that the airplane gets more efficient as it flies. This would be completely lacking in an electric plane.

@@kimjunguny And the FOD in the Fuel Tanks were found because they are so safe?😂
If it's a completely new plane, sure you need to prove every inch. Boeing tried too hard to make their new plane not that new, so the approval process failed.

Are you talking about the one software error that affect Planes running for too long.
Planes: dont bring large batteries onboard
Electric planes: WE GOT A GIANT BATTERY BRUH
The pLaNe IS thE BaTteRy BrUh
All commercial aircraft have more than one huge battery on board.
I get where you're coming from, but the difference is that an aircraft like any vehicle is serviced regularly, and have multiple sensors, backup systems and circuitry that can disconnect power or give early warning in case an error is detected, this is not the case with passenger items.
In-fact you can fly large batteries with the correct paperwork, and its easier to do so if the battery is new, tested, and low in charge. Just hard to regulate for commercial flights.
or you just drain the batteries of the phones of the passengers.
@@CasvGl Im pretty sure that would grant you about half a second of extra flight time

4:46 aircraft engineers take note of this pickup... that’s what you call weight reduction.

Rhys Gittoes thanks man😂😂😂
Actually it has its weight shifted :P those are modified for towing planes. They have a big hook in front attached.
It's more of an optical illusion. It's just reconfigured for maneuverability
This pickup truck was designed by aircraft engineers for weight reduction.
CHANGE MY MIND
A smaller problem that I see for bigger aircrafts would be that while regular planes to the descent lighter by many tones of fuel, an electric plane would have the exactly same weight as at takeoff.
Yes and batteries weigh a whole lot more than fuel.
Being heavier on decent isn't an issue, it's taking off that's the issue. This is why in-air refueling is a thing, we can take off with a lighter fuel load and then fill up in the air so we have enough fuel to reach the destination.

Check out Beta Tech, making moves 👍🏻
I dont think we will see big commerical airliners using batteries ever. Hydrogen is the way to go
Even battery EVs are not the future. Hydrogen is the true future. With abundant solar, wind and nuclear energy, we can generate electricity to separate hydrogen from water. That same hydrogen is oxidised in fuel cells to move cars and planes. Finally we'll a get a perfect cycle.
@@Chopper153 also hydrogen can be used by fusion reactors.
I dont think that personal hydrogen cars can compete with ev. EV's are better and easier for everyday people. Big stuff like trains, busses, airlines and military should use hydrogen
Factx
4:46 WHAT IS THAT? Where is its back?

I looked at it for a good 5 minutes and still couldn't figure it out
Jonathan Bowen it is half to conserve energy and to reduce weight.
Where are the wings??
@@ijakubamadej Those are modified for towing planes. They have a big hook in front attached.
Solution for the battery problem: just use Hydrogen engines or Hydrogen based fuel cells.
or keep developing the batter to get more efficient and safer, it is possible, we went from the old batteries to the new ones, look at phones 3X as thick cus of the battery and lasted 1/2 the time now our phones are so daym thin but last 12+ hours
I think that Hydrogen is the combustion fuel of the future. It is true that battery Tecnology will improve greatly, but Hydrogen is already avadable and is not far away from convencional combustion fuels.

Humour my ignorant arse and tell me how far we are off nuclear powered travel ? You probably don't know but ah well lol
@@paulanthony5274 In my opinion it cannot be done through fission as it produces nuclear waste which is harmful for the environment. Jet engines can be powered through nuclear fission but since it is harmful for the environment, it is not done. As for fusion, no technology has been invented to utilize the energy from nuclear fusion. Some rockets with nuclear fission as their source of energy have already been developed since nuclear waste in space is not harmful. But those rockets utilize some other safer energy sources when inside the atmosphere and those fission powered engines are activated only after it is far enough from the earth.
Exactly.
If people want to have Renewable and Environmentally-Safe Air travel the solution is Hydrogen. Use solar panels to split sea water into pure Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Excess. Transport the Hydrogen Fuel with electric cars. Use modern-hybrid engine, so that the aircraft will have H2O emission, and a decent range. Sure it is weaker than a standard engine, and less efficient than battery, but the upside is that it works and is appropriate tool for this task.
It may not be appropriate for all types of aircraft, like the super-large planes and military applications... but it can certainly replace the majority (80%) of planes out there and make a significant reduction to our emissions and reduce our reliance on a non-renewable fuel source.
And yes, I know how ironic it sounds to recommend Hydrogen when we saw what happened with the Hindenburg Disaster.

@@ekinteko We (the company I work for) are currently working on electric aircraft and hydrogen engines in parallel.

naw I dont think so. Think about it this way, from the time the Wright brothers first took powered flight, to the time we landed on the moon was only 60 years. 60 years to go from flightless to leaving the planet. Tech moves exponentially, and its only getting faster. Im young and Ive been able to watch tech change and advance at breakneck pace.
So no one is talking about the fact that eviation's prototype has caught fire.
The Eviation Alice has always been “aspirational” but otherwise unrealistic. I’m sure their foreign investors are re-thinking their investment, and anticipate that Alice will never fly, at least in its present form with wingtip power plants.
@@bryanlallen Agree, that aircraft won't make it past the V1 cut test procedures, without an unrecoverable Vmc roll.
Did not know that.
Hahaha, just like the Liliumjet, another electrical aircraft, I really hope we find a propper alternative for those fuckin' batteries
@@bryanlallen Why did they even bother with wing tip engines? A two engine plane must be able to fly to certain parameters with one engine out, and having the engines on the wingtips means there will be a huge yawing force if an engine goes. So to counter this you need a massive vertical stabaliser, which is going to be heavy.
Though interestingly, having the engines on the wingtips actually does make the wing structure lighter.

Does the saving $800 per flight hour take into account that the plane only seats 9?

Who ever said batteries? Hydrogen fuel cells is the way we need to steer ourselves
Yeah. I read a fuelcell drone was able to last 331 minutes un interrupted. That is like 5 and a half hours. Much better performance than a battery and you can refuel it fast. Although that is a drone and not a plane.
And where do we get the hydrogen? We have 2 options, electrolysis or hydrocarbon cracking which is essentially decomposing oil to get the hydrogen atoms bound up in the hydrocarbon chains. Either way you have to input a lot of energy to get the hydrogen which is counterproductive.
@@killman369547 it also takes a lot of energy to mine up the lithium for battery’s, and to extract oil, so relatively I don’t think electrolysis will significantly more time consuming
Imma keep it 100 with you chief, I'm not flying with a pressurized hydrogen container on board.

Wahab Files so who said it exactly?

That's nice, but do people really know how much damage to the environment the manufacture of LI-PO batteries cause. That includes mining of all the elements required to make the batteries and the energy used to make them. There is enough oil to last eons.Oil production is less harmful to the planet and the caused pollution can be controlled. Also the most obvious question is, where is the electricity used to charge the batteries produced? Most likely from Nuclear, oil or coal using generating stations. Even the Wind generators(Non-recyclable at end of use) or solar panels( again Non-recyclable at end of use). And alternatives to oil seem to be more harmful to the planet than keeping with oil and coal.see attached website

The prototype for the eviation electric plane exploded at my airport while I was working there and released a cloud of toxic gas. I'm not anti electric and this did actually happen. I think it's an issue that needs to be addressed.
It caught fire, it didn’t explode. And they assume that ground equipment caused the fire.
Stop spreading false rumors.
Fuel fires are one thing, lithium fires are another
@@shapshooter7769 i'm sure that damn ship with all the electric cars is still on fire- they should probably figure out where the hell that thing is and do something about it- like wipe out VW plants worldwide....
eviation- the act of drilling for fine drinking water in france
"But they just haven't taken off" ... nnnggh!?

A moded truck :P
His ex-wife has the other half. It was a messy divorce.
if u weren’t annoying everyone on here commenting, you will watch the video and find out
Usually in an emergency and if the plane is overloaded normal planes will dump out extra fuel, what are you gonna do with an electric areophane? Dump out the batteries?
There's prolly gon be reduction of the electricity where they can adjust the volts of it travelling thru
Ya ejecting highly flamable litium batts would could cause fires. They will adopt nuclear heat exchange power, it was in works in 1950's with GE. See Car life 1954 July edition.

It's just as garbage

Thanks to Tesla, Internal combustion engines will completely disappear around 2040.
On roads before 2030, on water before 2040, and in the air before 2050.
500wh/kg first and then 1000/kg batteries will help to achieve that and close the fossil fuel era.
Lol let’s ignore how horrible for the earth mining all the rare earth minerals required for batteries are.
Charlie1821 reusable tho
@@flamingarsenal7897 horrible tho
Vertie not really would u rather use gas or coal that will run out soon and cause way more pollution and destroy the ozone layer environment and kill humans and animals or would u rather use materials that can be reused for years which only harms a small part of the environment? U got to pick one
@@flamingarsenal7897 Most of the electricity used to power batteries comes from fossil fuels. Modern nuclear power would be the best solution but ill-informed environmentalists won't let that happen either.
@@Charlie1821
Or we can work on creating batteries from renewable energy, such as Tesla is working towards.
2:13 that computer on the left is from the 90s not from the 80s an 80s computer would have no CD-ROM drive, having floppy drives and a non-curved case, Is it true?

@@robospider99 what's it called. It's defying physics
the wheels are on the front of the metal thing
Because when battery dead fly straight down. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You know this BS of CO2 is just rubbish. We need CO2 for life. The trees like CO2 and give us OXYGEN. Simple ain't it? 🤡🤡🤡
Remember from Iron Man 2, Tony Stark and Elon Musk are working on a electric plane😂😂
Yea i remember that 😂 that was a cool cameo.
A max range of 500-600 miles really means they will be flying significantly less than that for redundancy
0:41 some say John didn’t do well as an inventor, although most say John b good enough
This video has not addressed the infrastructure issue. Where and how to charge these electric planes. To be commercially viable, the planes would not be charged quickly. You can't afford to wait half a day to charge, and fly one to two hours.
Goodenough, that's an interesting name for an inventor.
“This would be a problem for the next ahhh-undred years.”
***Twitching intensifies***
Hold up
I’d rather have a hydrogen powered plane than an electric one as hydrogen is better for the environment than even electric is as batteries need rare earth metals which are rare and cause harm to the environment when mining for them
Unless we start mining asteroids than we’re not gonna be using electric planes on the regular without causing harm to the planet
Conclusion:- Batteries are heavy.!
I just saved your 9 minutes.😊😜
Thanks me later😜😜
Why not just leave plugged in to a huge extension cord? Can fly back and forth. Just try not to tangle the cords with other planes.
The weight of such cord would destabilize the whole thing the further it goes
@@FMHikari im pretty sure they were making a joke
It'll be a wired plane
I'm sorry ma'am, we've already reached maximum bad pun capacity on this flight.
I wouldn't trust a bloody energizer to take me over the Atlantic.
I got an idea why can u put light weigh power full solar pannel on outer covering of plane
Idea no 2- the machine which is in starting of plane and rotating i dont know that name when it is rotating u can do it as wind power like that in that only so energy will conseverd and when it is rotating we can conserve energy not with wind power method with another eg in some advance cars when we drive we will get electricity like that when it is rotating we can use same method , we can do plane 24/7. I think thank u. Give any idea if u know or modification
Sometimes I feel like I was born too early 😢
Same here ,
