Hello to all,
Sorry my bad English, this is my first post here, but I have some suggestions to The Clean Energy Project team.  Will soon be released the result of mass collaboration project results clean energy, so I think that will be a good pick the best molecules and develop an evolutionary algorithm to further develop these results. As we know the nature, through natural selection, developed all living beings and all the molecules of their composition. It was developed so nature, for example, various types of chlorophyll, where the efficiency varies between them. For this reason, I think it will be good to use BOINC to "evolve" these molecules. About batteries, I suggest that it is also developing a project using BOINC to develop efficient molecules that can be used in batteries, since the technology for batteries are still very outdated. Thank you  |

Sounds like a great idea.
----------------------------------------Good batteries are the only thing holding our society back from being fully electric (cars, buses, trains, airplanes, etc) and pollution free, assuming the electic generated comes from renewable resources.  |

For this reason I gave the suggestion, now we have cheap solar panels and energy, enabling eco villages for example, but the energy storage devices are technologically outdated.
Create batteries using inexpensive technologies, using atoms common and abundant in nature to produce complex molecules but very efficient energy storage would be a huge technological revolution. |

Hi SamuelJunior,
yes, genetic algorithms are high on our priority list and we have written about this previously. The idea is that we use the data gathered from our combinatorial search as the data foundation that guides a rational design driven approach. Actually, the paper that we are currently finishing up discusses steps along those lines. As to the batteries: We have a project on this in the group, but it is at the moment using a high-performance cluster rather than the grid for computing time. Best wishes Your Harvard CEP team |
