Renewable energy sources like wind and solar are critical to sustaining our planet, but they come with a big challenge: they don't always generate power when it's needed. To make the most of them, we need efficient and affordable ways to store the energy they produce, so we have power even when the wind isn't blowing or the sun isn't shining. Columbia Engineering material scientists have been focused on developing new kinds of batteries to transform how we store renewable energy. In a new study published September 5 by Nature Communications, the team used K-Na/S batteries that combine inexpensive, readily-found elements -- potassium (K) and sodium (Na), together with sulfur (S) -- to create a low-cost, high-energy solution for long-duration energy storage.

The Eggs

A lore overview & theory longpost :]

Let's start with a recap. The eggs were given by the Federation to the island residents to care for. A backstory was also given by Pato, saying the eggs were left behind by a dragon mother who flew off after the wall explosion. An egg has 2 lives, if it dies you get punished, if it's alive and happy you get a prize. But nobody really cares about a prize anymore, all the parents love their eggs sooo much that just being together with them is a prize. The eggs have developed unique, endearing personalities and have become a central part of the narrative in such a massive way that it'd take hours to describe. Some sadly passed on, and more eggs have joined the cast as new players arrived.

The Code Entity

A strange entity made of binary code began to hunt down the eggs, viciously attacking and bringing them all down to one life. The reason why is still unknown, but it seems to want the residents to leave the island. I'll make a separate lore post about this guy eventually, there's a lot to say theory-wise and a lot we still don't know about it.

The Strange Cracks

At one point, all the eggs were kidnapped from their homes in the night. The announcement of their return said they would be given back "unharmed" but they returned with odd cracks in them, as if they were injured. The eggs all acted unusually scared and extra fragile after the incident, and couldn't wear armor without pain. They slowly regained their confidence after a few days and went back to normal, along with a eggstatistics change saying they've "matured."

The Heaven Meetings

When an egg dies, the Federation gives the parents 5-10 minutes to say farewells in a white room. It's always really wholesome and emotional to watch. But lots of questions can be raised about how the Federation seem to have the power to revive an egg from the dead in the first place. If they can do it for 10 minutes, why can't they just... revive them permanently? q!Max asked his egg son Trump why he couldn't just leave during his meeting, and got answers alluding that the egg was trapped there. That "they" are too powerful, so he can't leave. What's really going on here? Are the dead eggs even dead?

Case of Richarlyson

The Brazilians noticed that their egg, Richarlyson had one smaller leg compared to the rest, as if he was underdeveloped. And strangely, he also had a weird substance left on him (visually shown as a slimeball) which they thought could be part of the mother dragon's placenta. q!Cellbit gave the sample to supercomputer SOFIA to analyze, the results being given a few days later. Turns out, the substance's composition had zero traces of DNA, it wasn't even biological. Instead, it was found to be some type of chemical preservation fluid... meaning Richarlyson was in some kind of stasis/storage before being given to the Brazilians, and rushed out at such short notice he couldn't even be cleaned off in time.

The Pomme DNA Test

A sample of the newest & youngest egg's DNA, Pomme, was given to SOFIA to analyze. The genetic results were:

65% Oxygen, 18% Carbon, 10% Hydrogen, 3% Nitrogen, 1.5% Calcium, 1% Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulfur, Sodium, Chlorine, Magnesium. These results are normal for a biological composition of a living creature. However, there were also traces of "unusual elements" in the DNA....

Silicon, Gold, Cobalt, Copper, Palladium, Cadmium, Bismuth, Uranium.

Silicon is used for making alloys.

Gold is a valuable metal.

Copper is a metal used as an electric conductor.

Palladium is a rare metal, also used for electronics.

Cadmium is a heavy metal used to make batteries and it's also toxic.

Bismuth is a crystalline metal again used for electronic appliances.

Uranium is literally radioactive and used for nuclear power.

HUH? These elements and metals are totally unnatural to find traces of in a living creature. edit: this is wrong, these elements and metals are common to find traces of in a living creature. However, SOFIA said they are unusual in the eggs. What does this mean..?

Connections

What if I told you there is a certain type of egg where it's normal to find metals all over?

Fabergé eggs.

Fabergé eggs are valuable decorative eggs made with crystals and rare metals like gold. And it just so happens that as a lead-up to the QSMP, Quackity Studios released a teaser image, with morse code inside leading to a document where many suspicious letters, including this one was found:

This potential connection can't be ignored. Real Fabergé eggs obviously aren't alive like our little eggs, but it's entirely possible that thanks to the traces of metals in their composition, the name is being used as a codeword to refer to them.

All of these things considered, don't forget that the eggs are still living creatures. The "unusual" parts in the genetic makeup are very few compared to oxygen, carbon, calcium, etc. Most of the weird ones do happen to relate to electronics and machines, but if anything, it's likely that the eggs could be cyborgs - a biological organism that's just enhanced with technological parts.

It's becoming more and more evident that the "dragon mother" story is a load of hogwash. The eggs might've been developed in a lab, and transported to the island by the Federation. Whatever intentions or experiment they have running, we don't know... but these poor eggs have no idea about any of this. They are innocent and being used.

They just existed one day, got adopted and began to know love. And no matter what happens, no matter what they really are, dragons or not, we and the parents will continue to love them <3

EJ’s Chemistry

For @papermunchingfella who wanted to know more about this!! Thank you for indulging me and my nerdiness!!

There’s a few warnings I need to point out: If you are easily sick to the stomach, don’t like to hear about explicit anatomy, or anything like that, DO NOT READ THIS!

We gonna put this through in order just like the human body! But with a lil bit different yk?

Step 1: Ingestion

I said this in my HC post that he has 3 tongues which aid in digestion. The shortest one covers his trachea while he swallows, the longest works like a normal tongue, and the other releases similar saliva. However, this saliva is a neutral substance (neither acidic nor basic).

Step 2: Chemical Digestion

So, he works the same way as us, he has this stomach with HCl- however it’s not nearly as diluted. Rather than simple epithelial tissue, he has columnar epithelium and adipose tissue lining his stomach to prevent issues with the hydrochloric acid.

His small intestine is where things start to differ. He doesn’t have a large intestine (which, for us, lets us reabsorb water). He just one has a giant intestine. The first three areas are just like ours, but then, when food hits the “large intestine” area it’s a lil different.

What his body will do is, rather than absorbing water, it will flood it with water instead. His intestine at this point is going to take it over to (what I call) an acid bladder.

Step 2.5: Decomposition

In this area, Ammonium Nitrate (an acidic salt) will dilute with the water and some Sulfuric acid (what’s found in car batteries). This is enough to completely dissolve whatever solid waste is left.

From that point it will move to the basic “kidneys” for the acid to be neutralized with sodium carbonate (a strong base). This ends with water (as a vapor), CO2 (gas) and sodium nitrate (aqueous).

Step 3: Recycle

The sodium nitrate is a food additive for more Nitrogen, so it and most of The aqueous solution will go right back to the intestine!

Step 4: Removal

Just like any other being, waste needs to be gotten rid of.

Note: in this winding amount of chemical changes, ammonia, chlorine gas, and nitrogen gas will come up too.

Salts of any kind are often removed with sweat.

CO2, H2O, Cl2, N2, and NH3 will come out through exhale

Any extra acids/bases will get pushed into his mouth through saliva which he will drool out when he eats.

Extra Organs Explained

There is an acid organ that literally just holds it. It has Nitric Acid in it (HNO3).

The basic organ has Ammonium Hydroxide (NH4OH) in it. This is a very weak base.

Sorry if this wasn’t exactly great- there are a few gaps. So… yeah! I hope this was Alr!

Also, you can send me asks! I’m bored all the time I’d love to tell yall more abt my weird hyper fixations!!!

Periodic Table Championship: Round 3, Day 2, Sodium vs. Sulfur vs. Iridium

Match six for round 3 has sodium facing off against both sulfur and iridium, the latter two of which finished off with a dead tie last round. Sodium, meanwhile, easily beat seaborgium, then palladium. In round one, sulfur and iridium beat einsteinium and yttrium, respectively.

This match has three quite dissimilar elements facing off, with soft, reactive sodium metal against nonmetallic sulfur with its numerous allotropes and hard, corrosion resistant iridium. Each of these elements have their own claims to fame: sodium as a component of salt and an essential element for all animals; sulfur as the element with the most allotropic forms; and iridium as the second-densest naturally occurring metal.

Apart from its potential use in batteries, sodium is often a component of research into electrolysis or marine corrosion, thanks to its presence in seawater. Sulfur research these days often explores its potential application in batteries as well, and its potential to form polymeric structures. Current research into iridium often focuses on its potentially as a catalyst, typically in oxide form.

Solar and Batteries

Solar and batteries allow buildings to store the energy created by their panels so it doesn’t go to waste. This helps reduce their reliance on retail electricity and leads to greater energy self-sufficiency.

Depending on your electricity usage and utility rates, pairing your solar with storage can increase energy bill savings by shifting consumption to the middle of the day. This is especially true if your utilities offer time of use billing.

Lithium-ion

Lithium batteries are ideal for solar energy systems because they charge and discharge quickly. They also have a high energy density and can hold a lot of power in a small space. They are also ideal for backup energy. They can help you avoid expensive utility bills during power outages or other emergencies, and they are more efficient than generators.

Lithium batteries are the best choice for everyday residential use because they take up less space and require little maintenance. They can also save homeowners money on their electricity costs and qualify them for incentives like the federal solar investment tax credit. However, they are not as cost-effective as lead-acid batteries and can have a higher upfront price tag. Also, they can be prone to thermal runaway, which is a state of self-heating that can release toxic gasses or particulates. This is why it’s important to find a reliable battery supplier that uses sustainable sources of lithium.

Lead-acid

In solar energy systems, lead-acid batteries are often used to store the electricity produced by your solar panels during the day. They are dependable and inexpensive on a cost-per-watt basis, making them a common choice for solar power. However, lithium batteries typically hold more power in a smaller size, so they offer greater storage and longevity than lead-acid options.

During charging, the direct current from solar panels travels through your solar charge controller to your battery bank and initiates a chemical reaction. The positive and negative lead plates (electrodes) react with the sulfuric acid electrolyte inside the battery, converting it to lead sulfate. When the battery discharges, this sulfate recombines into lead, lead oxide and sulfuric acid to generate electricity.

There are two types of lead-acid batteries: flooded and sealed. Flooded batteries are cheaper but require regular maintenance, while sealed batteries offer a more hassle-free option. The battery type you choose will depend on your energy needs and budget. When shopping for a battery, make sure to look for one with a long history and good warranties.

Nickel-cadmium

Nickel-cadmium batteries are based on the nickel and cadmium electrochemical system. The positive electrode contains nickel oxyhydroxide, and the negative one has cadmium metal. The electrolyte is an alkaline solution. These batteries are usually encased in a metal case and outfitted with a self-fixing safety valve.

They work well with solar energy and have a low maintenance requirement, making them ideal for home applications. However, cadmium is highly toxic in certain concentrations and requires special disposal. This makes them unsuitable for VRES integration applications.

NiCds are durable and function well in a wide range of temperatures. They are also able to hold a charge for a long time, making them great for toys and power tools. However, nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries have largely eaten into their market share. Today, you’ll find them mostly in RC cars and photography equipment. In addition, they’re easy to recycle. You can even see crafty people rekindling decades-old cordless drill NiCd batteries with just a spark and battery cycling.

Sodium nickel chloride

Sodium nickel chloride batteries are an alternative to lithium-ion battery technology. They work with solar energy and can store excess power generated during peak sunlight hours for use when the sun is not shining. They are also ideal for off-grid solar systems and emergency power backup setups. These batteries are a type of high-temperature rechargeable battery that uses a unique chemistry. They have a dual electrolyte system, with beta-alumina ceramic for sodium ion conduction and molten Tetrachloroaluminate for efficient electrochemical reactions.

Until now, they have been limited by their high operating temperature. However, researchers have developed a planar cell design that allows for a thinner cathode, which reduces resistance.

These batteries are also safer than lithium-ion batteries, and they do not emit toxic elements. In addition, they do not need complex cooling mechanics. They can even be used in a wide range of temperatures. They are fully recyclable, and they do not have any fire hazards.
