Background �The Silicon-Air Battery is created from oxygen and silicon. �These batteries are lightweight � have thousands of hours of life � have a high tolerance for both humid and tremendously dry weather � The Silicon-Air Battery performs all tasks that all other batteries can accomplish, but with more energy efficiency.

Environment �created by Oxygen and Silicon �Luckily, Silicon is the second most plentiful element in the earth’s crust. �The Silicon-Air battery’s advanced features of long lasting power and ingredients allow society to be more environmental friendly Why to be concerned about the Environment?

Technology Uses �Convenience to consumers (Size) Type Capacity Size (mm) AAA 1. 25 V 10. 5 × 44. 5 AA 1. 2 V 14. 5 × 50. 5 C 3, 800 m. Ah 26. 2 × 50 D 1. 25 V 34. 2 × 61. 5 Silicon-Air Battery 1 -2 V 0. 3 (millamperes/square cm) �As the battery upgrades to a more powerful source of energy, there are many new and efficient uses for it. Ex: Hearing Aids that last longer

Future Technology �upgrading this new battery = energy use that will become far more efficient in a way that it will be more powerful and will be able to perform more advanced technological services for society. Ex: Electric Cars The use of electric cars will become more efficient: �gasoline fueled cars because gasoline resources are becoming scarce daily �the resources for the Silicon-Air Battery remain plentiful and easy to recycle

Significance The Silicon-Air battery � supports a clean and healthy environment � use of technology to be more efficient and advanced due to its long lasting battery life. � this battery may upgrade to a high powered energy source that positively contributes to future technology v This new technology provides a new source of energy that our society needs and will utilize to its full extent. Energy for the Future?
