30 cycles, 133 hours, and now a UPS! Which has already saved my butt. And easier-to-read plots.

I made a sub-5-minute video of myself building a flow battery and starting a test!
It's on PeerTube, ofc:

Back to wet lab, a crappy experiment to get the cobwebs off

#introduction for @SocialCoop@social.coop - hello, all!
I'm Kirk, an engineer researching the conversion/storage of clean energy: batteries, converting CO₂ into useful chemicals, etc. I'm from St. Louis, USA, did my PhD in UK, now living in France. I'm a lot of things but anticapitalist and antiauthoritarian are good catch-alls.
I plan to transition away from academia and start a worker-owned enterprise around these technologies, with open-source at the core. Here to learn from others and find community.
