People have since messaged me that the battery the guy is photographed holding, isnt infact his 'aluminium battery', but a commercial lithium-ion battery!

lol! :-D

Fundamentally metallic aluminium chemistry doesnt go well with batteries.  It reacts with water to form various insoluble aluminates that inhibit the further efficiency of the battery.  Aluminium air batteries cannot be recharged.  Its also an odd fuel source in that when you burn gas, your car gets lighter.  The aluminium-air battery almost double in weight (and size) when its empty!

Let me guess without watching... he build a disposable aluminium air battery with potassium hydroxide as an electrolyte, aluminium as the anode and carbon as the cathode right? It has an awful self discharge and is pretty expensive to maintain. Now i'll watch the video

He’ll make millions. Secret plan: make aluminum batteries, hijack Elon Musk’s hyperloop which is really a time machine, go back to visit Napoleon and negotiate the sale of the aluminum, invest the sales, travel back to the future, reap the profits, et voila!
