How to make simple zinc air battery

[ResinRat2]

Hi Everyone,

This technology is based off of oxidation-reduction and the zinc is consumed in the reaction.
The problem with this is that the zinc needs to be initially refined and processed, which
takes energy to do. The melting point of zinc is 419°C (787°F) and requires a great deal
of energy to reach. I'm not even taking into account the amount of energy required to
mine the zinc.

All that is happening here is that the energy for this battery technology comes from oil;
and in the end you gain less energy than if you had simply used oil to run the bus or
vehicle or whatever you had in mind using the electricity produced here for. Zinc is
not oil and does not produce more energy than is required to mine, refine, and process
it. Sorry, that is the awful truth.

yeah people make it sound so "simple" but in reality its complex and not very efficient at all.
