Cool invention in the link. It uses the most common elements on Earth. No rare earth bullshit.
I don't think it has a positive energy output, though. Probably not even better than electrolysis when all inputs are considered. Ferrosilicon is made in arc furnaces that use a fuckload of electricity and I suppose it is spent in the process.
Still, nice battery. Beats carrying a Hindenburg in your trunk
