    The company’s website quotes a storage density of 3.5 kWh/kg and a storage system taking up 3 cubic meters beving able to store 100,000 kWh: https://www.photoncycle.com/technology

    I tried to find the patent but it sounds like the application process isn’t complete yet.

    These are the kind of claims you hear from a startup seeking its next round of funding. I’d take it with a huge grain of salt.

      the numbers do seem absurdly high. That’s 5 times higher energy density than the current state-of-the-art

      I’d take it with an amount of salt resembling the Dead Sea. This is absolutely fake.
