Panel 1
Mae: So, walk me through this here - you developed a battery with INFINITE LIFETIME, and you just tossed it into storage? How exactly does this make sense?
Tony: I know it sounds silly, but there’s really no commercial applications.

Panel 2
Tony: As a proof-of-concept, it was neat and all, but it required an Osmium Astatide substrate, making it insanely complicated to synthesize, not to mention astronomically expensive at scale.
Tony: So while it was a neat experiment, and I used the basic principles to develop larger-output power cells, it wasn’t really worth spending much more time developing a 1.5-volt version.

Panel 3
Mae: But, I mean… you could literally have any device work without ever having to plug it in! That’d be amazing!
Tony: Nah, there’s way easier ways to accomplish that. Just use wireless inductive power transmission and connect the grid to a cold fusion reactor. Easy free power anywhere.

Panel 4
Mae: OKAY, THEN DO THAT!
Tony: Oh my god, “solve the world’s power crisis, Tony.” “End climate change, Tony.” Like I don’t have anything better to do. I’ll get to it after I finish reading all the Cosmere books.
