That’s why you put a vacuum in there. It’s made of nothing, so it doesn’t react, and there’s plenty of it in the universe. Besides, it’s also lighter than anything else you could throw in there.
My first mp3 player (this was around 2002-ish) was power by an AA-batrery. The next year a model came on the market that was powered by an integrated, rechargable battery. I immediately bought that model, realizing it would instantly be worth the investment, because I would never need another AA-battery again.
Somehow the people in charge still haven’t realized what 12 year old me was able to realize all those years ago.
And here I am in 2026 craving for more AA battery powered devices because internal batteries are harder to replace and I have way too many chargers (USB helped there a bit)
This is the kind of unintelligent pseudo eco the people scare monger about.
Buying new shit cause it’s branded as eco when you don’t need it and could get the benefit without buying it anyway. Just buy rechargeables if you care about money. Or the environment.
So far, oil has been absurdly cheap. Because of that, various industries have been built on the idea of bringing stuff. If oil becomes more expensive, all those industries will suffer, because someone just pulled out one of the cornerstones.
Maybe it’s about time we started figuring out alternative way to travel. Maybe something that doesn’t require burning fossil fuels.
Air ships should make a comeback Throw some solar panels on for electricity
because hydrogen is famously inert and helium is abundant?
Or environmentally friendly if leaked. And leaks will happen.
I am somewhat confident that we could get a reliable H air ship, to be fair.
Jet fuel isn’t exactly inert either and we now have another 90 years of advances in technology since the Hindenburg.
Hydrogen is a 100 times harder to contain than jet fuel.

Perfect. Now you only have to find a way to contain that vacuum that doesn’t involve thick, heavy walls and we’re good to go!
Fantastium fibers should do it.

Young me quickly then learned that integrated lithium ion batteries were not easily replaceable and degraded significantly after 1.5 years…

So you are suggesting we power planes with mp3 players? I like that idea, where do I donate for the go-fund-me?
Hold my beer…

you know there are rechargable AAs right? also energy density, range, whatever look it up
