I've
just been scanning old posts because I want to make tonight's
offering about wheelchair batteries. I was quite surprised (as I
always am) at how many posts I have actually written about batteries.
I live in fear that going to begin repeating myself, like an old man
just have redundancy for a blog after a while. Luckily, however the
information you want to write about today is relatively new in my
lexicon/universe primarily because it's new information or maybe old
information from a new approach sense really there is nothing new
under the sun supposedly just a revolution!
I
listened with and show us this morning on National Public Radio about
how there is talk about a new season in the development of power
options a.k.a. storage batteries. The most phenomenal thing about
this direction of thought is not power sources for homes, automobiles
and yes even power chairs but as a positive and relatively simple
solution to global warming. Each day as the sun produces more and
more heat domes across this country/world and people are actually
dying it looks like the powers of this world are beginning to make
some positive decisions in the name of global warming and one of
those is to pursue the development of a powerful way to store energy
to use when traditional sources of energy are too dangerous are in
stable to use. So, they are looking at building bigger, more powerful
and more compact storage devices that will not heat the environment
in their production, storage our product dissemination as well as
building compact reservoirs dense enough to store a significant
amount of energy.
What
delights me, in my cynical way of thinking, is that people with
disabilities just be patient, for a few more months and most likely
years but soon relatively speaking. People with disabilities to a
certain degree of the world's bastard children. PWD is that
population Of human beings too stubborn or too stupid to die are be
stowed away behind institutional/medical doors. People with
disabilities have survived so far on the trickle-down of everyone
else. Sooner or later we benefit from technology and systems built
for other populations. We are the quintessential embodiment of
Dickens tiny Tim. And we will be patient and we have been
long-suffering and we will be hoisted on the shoulders of an
electronic Bob Cratchit Marching And dancing around in a more
independent world.
I
have dreams of a battery the size of a fist that will take minutes to
charge and power chair all day for as long as the driver wants to go.
To have a battery Small enough with enough power that I never have to
be worried of being stranded. Of course, as I've alluded to already,
this will only be after the technology has been developed for a
larger, more wealthy and elitist population willing to drop these
electric scraps for wheelchair users to dream of electric sheep…
